oH this sounds very up my street 👀

Things the UK gov will let me see: a real person being shot in the neck Things the UK gov will not let me see: a drawing of a penis

just tried to access r/reduction - a subreddit I've been using regularly to get references and advice about the sort of radical reduction I'd like to get, for Gender Reasons - and now I can't see any photos without submitting my ID.

Starting to put feelers out re: finding an agent, so if anyone knows of anyone looking for some fun queer #historicalromance (medieval/regency) please do point me in their direction 👀

*glares at Bananagrams*

Final day of this sale!

This is SUPER important. Additionally: if you're in the UK and don't have an agent, I REALLY encourage you to join the Society of Authors, who provide free legal advice and contract vetting for members. Don't sign anything before you're sure you're not being screwed over!

One Queer Book Rec For Each Pride Flag Stripe Did you know that Gilbert Baker (who designed the first rainbow pride flag in the 70s) intended for each of its colours to have a different meaning? To celebrate pride month this year, I’ve decided to use these meanings as prompts for recommendations!…

anyway now my passion for the Ash Prequel WIP is back - who knows how long it'll last this time 😅

Okay. So. Full disclosure: I bought this like two years ago, a few months after Hartswood came out. Everyone recommended it. Everyone said "oh hey medieval m/m? READ THIS." And then I wrote two more books and my brain fell out and it was placed on the TBR. Until a couple days ago.

Resist. Rejoice. Remember. I dedicate this year's pride knight to my community. My trans family, friends and loved ones are beautiful, resilient and amazing and we will continue to thrive like the weeds society treats us as. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

One Night in Hartswood and All the Painted Stars are both $0.99 on Kindle/Kobo all month long!! Grab yerself some cheap medieval queers while you can ⚔🏳‍🌈

To celebrate my first day (well, sort of) of funemployment I spent two hours cleaning the kitchen, including scrubbing the grout with a toothbrush. Can you tell? Not even a bit.

just saw a comment thread on a tiktok of someone asking for reading recs where one person recommended my book and another, totally separate person recommended my fanfic. Should I tell them lmao

Casually reposting this one to the author acc bcos LOOK isn't it GORGEOUS?? I'm so pleased this is lovely 🥺 my wonderful girls done so perfectly!!

Small update to the profile description today.....

Just realised I have, somehow, totally failed to thank @aspencerhall.bsky.social & co for this. I read it while writing Book Three and it was an incredible starting point for my research about medieval trans identities - and one I kept returning to. I've recommended it so many times. 1/1

AMAZING NEWS. All the Painted Stars (which, incidentally, is now out in the US) is shortlisted for the RNA's Popular Romance Fiction award!! 🎉🎉🎉 So proud of my sword lesbian babes 🥺💖

I keep seeing Takes about Meta and AI and LibGen and as an author who is currently facing a lot of employment uncertainty around my day job mostly I just want to get under the desk and cry.

guess which game/ship I have, predictably, gotten very into again 👀

sometimes i get this stuck in my head, despite it not being a real song.

A few months ahead of us yet, but here are the prompts in advance for 2025's #MonstrousMay Challenge! Monstrous May is an annual prompt fest celebrating monsters and monsterfuckery, where you're encouraged to create whatever you like for prompts that coincide with each day of the month of May!

I really haven't been *here* in a while (nor have I been doing promo anywhere, really) partly because of the unending horrors, but also because I burned out real bad with the first draft of my book, and then I had a sudden family death. I am here, but I am very small and tired.

ohhh yes please 👀

That last post is wrong, I now realise, because it's no longer on sale. But I am very tired and very burnt out so. eeehhhhhh.

Apropos of nothing, have this review for my queer romance, One Night in Hartswood. Hartswood is currently only $0.99 on Kindle and Kobo if you wanted to fact check this egregious claim for entirely innocent reasons 👀

I. What?? I just checked out the rest of their IG page and the rest of their info posts are equally insulting. Can we stop calling books "clean", already? Especially in the current political climate? jfc.

⚔️ A BALLAD FOR SLAYERS & MONSTERS COVER REVEAL ⚔️ I’m so excited to finally share this beautiful cover art that was done by @afoolsdeath.bsky.social for my upcoming fantasy full of vampires & queer women.

today's challenge: trying to get Microsoft to downgrade me back to the classic plan. Wish me luck.

😍😍😍

I seem to have acquired 100s of new followers overnight, so if anyone wants to out a trans author during a very stressful (& expensive) time, I have books about lesbian knights, nonbinary demigods, and a transfemme basilisk for your perusal. Lush prose and HEAs across the board!💙 riengray.itch.io

Bona Books is slamming into the new year with a brand new project. WRATH MONTH will be a punk anthology of queer rage. With the burning wreckage of 2024 behind us, we want SFF stories that crash mainframes, collapse empires, and trample normativity. Smash “Follow” on Kickstarter:

Oh my gosh, HELLO NEW PEOPLE. I've been sort of rubbish at posting lately due to being stressed out of my mind, but hello!! I'm Emma and I write books about queer medieval people making out :3

Was thinking so hard about an OC today that I fell up a curb and ended up in Minor Injuries. One x-ray later, the only thing broken is my phone screen (but only just) 💀

Urgh, how shitty. The Bookish Type is awesome - please support them if you can!

I've just realised that this is the first December since 2022 that I'm not going "I've got a book out next year!!!" and tangling myself into knots that I'm not on "most anticipated" lists and it's both a little weird and sort of freeing 😅

I definitely don't have *this* level of luck (read the prev skeet), but as someone with a three book tradpub deal and no agent who has never been on query, I have to start a lot of career advice with a similar sentiment to this 😅

Ohhhhhh

ew.

I'm making enamel pins inspired by Medieval Bestiary art! We've already funded the Unicorn on Kickstarter and we're halfway to funding the Dragon too! Back for your pins here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/abi... #ArtShop #ArtistSupport #BSNM #EnamelPins #MedievalArt

I haven't seen #Arcane, I know extremely little about it, and I any understanding I *do* have of it is entirely through gifsets on tumblr. With all that said: WHY'S IT LOOK LIKE MY COVER THOUGH??

jokes and willful ignorance about romance novels are so tired. i will block you. im not the one.

Me: I need to take book photos Miss Wimble: say no more

Holy shit, literally just blocked this bot (without realising it was a bot) for being a dickhead. This sure is A Thing That Exists 😬
