Mr Queen is absolutely amazing! Is it just me, or did anyone else think that the story wanted to be a BL, but they were scared? It's incredible how fluid gender is in the story, too. I also feel it has touches of Orlando by Virginia Wolf in it.

I finished season 2 of Apothecary Diaries last night and I now want to write a romantasy novel that the couple has the same vibe as Maomao and Shisui.
Tell me I am not the only one who felt their bond was really special?! Anyone else had the same thought about them?

Editing has officially began for my Greek, gothic book. Hagiography is about misogyny and the various faces it wears, about doomed love and broken families.
And it is a beast of a book! I need to cut at least 10k off it. Ideally 20k.

My author copies of The Castaway and the Witch arrived at my house! What a wonderful birthday present it is to have them with me today!
The novella looks so beautiful! I was a touch worried it might be too thin, but it looks like a short novel, actually!
