My blog post about this very widespread scam, which arrives out of the blue in the form of a highly flattering (AI-generated) email writerbeware.blog/2026/03/27/w...

I was kinda going "do I really wanna name them and potentially set off an avalanche" then I saw their vibe-coded app is $99.99 so: lmao fuck NovelMage

In preparation for the Narrates Indie sale, my trans sapphic vampire romance Best Friends' Promise is on sale for US$1.99 on Amazon. (It'll also be on sale on itch in about 7 hours, as I could schedule the sale there). www.amazon.com/Best-Friends...

Happy Sapphic Visibility Day from this very sapphic lesbian who writes very sapphic fantasy! 💜

This coming weekend, 280+ small press & self-pub books will be discounted in the @narratess.com indie book sale! As usual, I've spotted more to add to my never-ending TBR list, so to get hype for Saturday, I'm sharing a few that caught my eye every day until the sale starts 🤩 🧵 👇

A study from Finland has been used to cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth. But Finland never offered gender affirming care. Perhaps invasive, adversarial, fruitless years of assessment harm trans youth? New opinion by @evanurquhart.bsky.social: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Happy Thur #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Tomorrow's theme is ****PRETEND**** Are any of your characters PRETENDING to be something they're not? Let's PRETEND they are all perfect! 🎭🥸

Happy Sapphic Visibility Day to everyone in the sapphic community! Personally, I love the term "sapphic." To me, it doesn't replace other terms and identities such as "lesbian"; it's an umbrella term that includes lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer... 1/5 #sapphicbooks

Gentle reminder, if you enjoyed a book by an indie author, please don't forget to leave a review! Because the trolls, racists, +haters never forget, they love to 1-star diverse stories. Reviews don't need to be long or wordy either, a simple line, "I enjoyed this book" is perfectly acceptable! 💝

they're so funny #namivivi

The response to the conversion therapy video has been amazing. I’ve gotten messages from lots of NHS staff appalled to learn about the present-day abuses, who want to hold senior managers to account. As I say in the video, allowing this abuse undermines the entire NHS! 🏥 youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

The Master of Puppets: The War of Souls Book 1 by Molly J. Bragg is coming to Audio Book on June 9th, 2026 from Tantor Media.

As tradition will have it I drew Flora for Flowers day (ignore that it was two days ago) 🍃💚

300 copies sold is, by New Zealand micropress standards, a success. That's the "well done buy yourself a glass of champagne" number. Anything you sell above that is icing on the cake. I didn't get a million dollar netflix deal but damned if I didn't outsell my expectations.

I keep getting down on myself, that I've failed as a writer, then I remember like ... okay between self-pub and trad editions The Dawnhounds has moved around 15k copies. I was never a NYT bestseller, but when I started this journey I had 300 printed, that was the goal.

1. A new study claims trans care worsens mental health. It is fatally flawed. It didn't measure mental health—it measured psych visits. Even visits that stemmed from mandatory checkins, surgical pre-psych evals, or pre-treatment that was classified as post. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It's ace day! 🖤🤍💜 In case you didn't know, I'm a biromantic asexual, much like the main character of my Echo Archives series, the badass but tired new mom Kembral Thorne, who would love to have fun at this party but is stuck in a murder time loop with her cat burglar nemesis instead

1. An incredible bill is moving fast in Maryland protecting transgender students. It would apply to ANY "program or activity," and would even include private schools. This would include sports, bathrooms, and more. It even has a private right of action. Subscribe to support our journalism.

✨ It's Magik! ✨

Real writers like writing. People who do it solely as a hustle and take shortcuts aren't writers. Writing is miserable, but fun. And the one thing writing certainly isn't is mindless. But I promise that the people who use AI are. Do you think pro ball players would rather a robot do their job?

On this #TransDayOfVisibility, perhaps consider giving a trans author's books a look? Trans characters, usually the mc's, and very queer (usually sapphic) ^^

On this TDOV, I'd like to give a thought to all the trans people who can't be visible. In an ideal world, there'd be no need to hide one's identity; as it is, however... I see you all. You're my friends and siblings and I love you. It may take a while, but things will get better. Stay strong.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍🌈💗💙🤍

Remember kids. Just because you are trans and have a TDOV sale and it's getting shared does not mean you will get sales. Shit's hard for everyone. Sharing my own lack of sales to show that it's not isolated to just you. Do your best. It's all you can do.

Turns out that Avery is capable of sleeping anywhere, which she discovers after she is 'kidnapped' by the dragon. Though there might be other factors involved in that. Shaelee is a heavy sleeper. If she doesn't want to wake, she won't. And the dragon is, well, a dragon, and has to be prepared ^^

Love to draw the wives cuddling...my angels...
