Holy hell, progesterone slaps. A thousand paper cuts to my gatekeepy docs for not putting me on it when I first started.

Hey, I'm tree

I'm on track to reopen to indie review requests on Thursday, January 1st! If you're interested in sending a review on that day or after, please give my policy a read-through, even if you already have. It's been updated a bit. #booksky

I think one of the coolest things about being trans is that I literally just keep getting hotter.

Slouchy hat is cute. Only took me a decade to not wear it like a dock worker.

I would like the world to know that I am so committed to letting the dice tell the story that I played a one shot where I rolled for my character and accepted being a spider in a list where I could have been a crow or cat or owl or fox or literally anything better. Also, I am arachnophobic.

I get it. I've been there. I've also forced them to see who I am or lose a daughter. It's good now.

To the trans kids taking today holed up in their dysphoria hoodie, hang in there.

Stumbling over the finish line at the eleventh hour for books read this year. 21 of 20. I'm a slow reader, but for the first time in a while I read multiple books with my eyeballs instead of *just* audiobooks.

Dragon women gently nursing lady knights back to health. Agree or agree?

A friend of mine is gifting RABID DOGS to a family member and this is the note she attached (since it's a digital order). I love it so much.

Shout out to the best image I ever made for promoting the Burkes. Graphic design is my passion. It's this one: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN5JBPGZ

Hey you! Need a holiday read or four? Go pick up RABID DOGS, which just came out this month. Look at all those things you like! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Pray for me. I am returning to the land where ice falls from the sky. My weak Californian body might perish.

Damn, ADHD got hands.

The worst part of heading to Ohio for the holiday is leaving this dingus behind and she don't even know why

Picking up the thread from earlier: I want to read (and write) derby that's fun and lively and exciting! I want readers to share in the pulse-pounding, mind-numbing rush of taking the line for the first time, the electricity-in-your-soul thrill when it comes down to a tie after 59 minutes.

I just wrote 1200 words in 20 mins, wtf. (Context: this is v fast for me.) Turns out, a fictional jammer explaining derby drills is something I can just vomit out. Shocking, I know.

I've been reading a number of roller derby romance novels as research into my not-so-secret side project and I have yet to see one get derby right AND make it a compelling B-plot. The closest I've seen to 'real' derby is a story that made it a kinda-there C-plot. It is my goal to thread the needle.

The very cis impulse to buy the new version of a game that adds NOTHING beyond the ability to play as a girl. Pokemon Crystal, my beloved.

Taking active measures to defeat the dysphoria elemental today.

Voting is now open! If you think that Mo's story struck a chord, you can vote for Stray Dogs here. It'd mean a lot: indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

Ever wonder what the cast of the Burke Misadventures would look like next to each other? Me neither, but when someone posted this on a writing Discord I'm a part of, I had to know. The Katie/Gail height difference dynamic is everything to me.

buy indie books. leave nice reviews for them. spread the word.

Oh hey, dysphoria. It's been a minute. Fuck off please?

STRAY DOGS was nominated for the "Trans/NB Rep" category in the Indie Ink Awards?? Thank you so much! Truly, I may be small potatoes when compared to a lot of the talented players in the indie scene and their bazillion nominations, so this means a lot.

HEED THE OMEN OF THE ROWLING CUBE.

If cats didn't want to be kissed on their lil soft heads maybe they shouldn't have had such kissable lil heads.

She melted

This might be slander to the Tabaxi Wizard in the party I DM. But also probably not.

Ryan Day: - Loses to UM 4 times in a row - Relentlessly mocked for never getting over the hump - Endures threats from ungrateful 'fans' and degen gamblers - Champions mental health - Wins a Natty Sherrone Moore: - Loses to OSU once - Immediately crashes out, is an awful creep, and loses everything

To explain: I wrote consistently-ish via NaNo in college. 2007 saw me write a Firefly/MagForce7-inspired project about a blind space captain with a weirdo crew. His niece/pilot was quietly trans. I had never written a trans character and I COULD NOT stop thinking about her. Until... oh no.

Ayo, same

I saw someone claim that bluesky doesn't punish links. Let's put that to the test with some transfem-led fantasy. freyafaust.itch.io www.amazon.com/dp/B08HJ4VZJS

RABID DOGS, an urban fantasy where siblings act like actual siblings, keeps trucking along and I could use your help fighting the whims of the Soul Crushing Machine that is the algorithm with the buttons below. BOOKS: www.amazon.com/dp/B08HJ4VZJS

A friend of mine is gifting RABID DOGS to a family member and this is the note she attached (since it's a digital order). I love it so much.

Deleting my dating apps so I can meet lesbians the old-fashioned way: Getting magicked into a girl to throw off the hitman on my tail and bringing down a clandestine organization so that a pretty shapeshifter revolutionary will teach me her ways. AKA, STRAY DOGS:

Transfem MFers will be like 'nothing changed' and post timelines like this:

So I've been spriting, doing lil projects to learn how to use Aseprite. Made some basic-ass baseball cards for my 3 MCs for UnnamedFantasyBaseballRPG. But I've been playing too much Pokemon TCG Pocket, apparently, cuz I thought: what if I make Rainbow Rares for them too?

RABID DOGS, an innocent, heartwarming tale of siblings, is enjoying it's second week since release and honestly, if you like anything you see, or know of someone who might, share or like or whatever. The algo sucks. We must defeat it. SERIES: www.amazon.com/dp/B08HJ4VZJS

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

These are the barely legible notes of a mad woman, trying to make a game about orcs, elves, and baseball.

RABID DOGS has been out for a full week and if you don't know what that is, it's my bloody and queer urban fantasy that starts as a Mothman hunt before it all goes terribly wrong. It's even winter-flavored, for your convenience. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... freyafaust.itch.io/rabid-dogs-t...

UNDER DOGS features some of my favorite chapters I have ever written or co-written. This is a little bit of a breather, considering the pace of the previous book and the next book, but that's what I like about it. I'm not just giving you the same story every time. www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN5JBPGZ

I cannot remember where I came across this image (so if you have the sauce , hit me up) but god DAMN a Gideon the Ninth animated series in the vein of Castlevania would slap.

shout out to Crow Time on Webtoon <3

But seriously, the handful of folks who have stuck with my through 4 Burke novels are my MVPs right now. Without you, this doesn't happen. And so long as there are a handful of folks who want to see where the story leads, I'll continue to write it. Because I'm one of them!

Every trans person you know is exhausted. Beaten down. We've been going through a parade of constant state sanctioned and private corporation enabled stripping of our rights and safety for a decade now. We are still here, we are still standing, but we are so god damn tired. It's your turn now.

Making this a thread for your one-stop-shop of Burke information needs. Let's move onto GUARD DOGS, perhaps my favorite single plot in the series. I can't speak more as to WHY that is, but I have it on good authority it blew some minds. You'll just have to come see it for yourself.

So I have ADHD brain about what I want to do next. We have: - Vampire long-haul space maintenance crew - novella - Roller Derby Romance that actually focuses on the sport - novel - Dragon saves Knight from Princess Romantacy - short - Burkes #5 (& #6) - oh god not yet - Baseball High Fantasy RPG
