Thank you all for sticking with me through the constant delays for this one. See you in a couple of weeks for the cover reveal!

So Medicare did not cover as much of my procedure with my neurologist in Feb as I thought it would and now I have a $600ish medical bill unexpectedly. Itchio Bundle to Fundraise (get my books for $10!) itch.io/s/185422/pay... KoFi to Fundraise: ko-fi.com/daxaeterna/g... #DisabilityCrowdFund

23 hours left to goooooo!

The irony being that the price to actually print these books has gone up with or above inflation... Who do we think is taking the pay cut here and why is it definitely *not* the people who were already making most of the money off book sales anyway 🫠

Me, in October: I want to finish this book by the end of February Me, in February: I want to *at least* finish this book by the end of April. Me, staring down May: ... If this book is finished by the end of the year, I'll be fucking thrilled.

I have to spend probably $100 on supplements tomorrow in desperate optimism that they can fix my brain, so now is a ✨really great✨ time to buy any of my books you've been eyeing! Itchio: ardenpowell.itch.io Amz and KU: www.amazon.com/stores/Arden...

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and we have a collection of 40 SFF indie and self-published books written by autistic authors! Take a look and show your support: www.readindiefantasy.com/books-for-au...

If anyone grabbed THE REANIMATOR'S HEART audiobook on Chirp when it was on sale and enjoyed it, can you do me a favor and leave a text review? Currently, 3/4 text reviews are 1 star, 2 of which are complaining about it being gay 😅

Since it's Trans Day of Visibility, I wanted to pop up Katie's fundraiser since we are a T4T couple with a dog who needs radiation in the next month or two. My portion of her treatment will be about $6,500. Every little bit helps, and if you can't donate, please share.

This gorgeous art is by @moth.deity on instagram! (Hint: you get YOUR NEXT READ! 😜)

Some more thoughts on my trans representation for the #transrightsreadathon. (I hope ya'lls reads are going great 💕🏳️‍⚧️)

When I started the GFDV series, I envisioned a city that would feel the same sort of real yet mysterious as Buffy's Sunnydale: a place with the depth of a real city, but a little something extra sparkly on top. Cemeteries are sparkly, right? Where do you think the final two books will take place? 👀

Need a recommendation for 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsReadathon? @dnbryn.bsky.social's How to Bare Your Neck & Save a Wreck is... yup. I'm a sucker (heh) for hot but interesting vampire fic and this very much fits the bill. The link below is for an audiobook promo that has passed, but the ebook is inexpensive.

More trans rep thoughts in honor of the #transrightsreadathon 🏳️‍⚧️

Happy release day to @catrector.com ! I did a beta read for this one and it's amazing. If you want your vampire dark, blood sucking, and queer you'll love this book. It focuses a lot on trauma and self-grief so check content warning if necessary. www.narratess.com/books/booksp...

Sent the next Guides For Dating Vampires Novella to the editor today!... now this means I actually have to come up with a title 😅 (Does anyone here actually know how to title books, or is it just me who struggles?)

I gotta put my bio degree to use in my writing somehow!

In this queer Cinderella retelling, a notorious vigilante killer risks both his head and his heart by starting a fling with the soon-to-be-wed crown prince. 🗡️💕

Retweeting this to remind y'all how stellar this audiobook is :3 you know, for Indie Ink Awards reasons... 👀

If your end of the year best-of list doesn’t include any self-published books, you're a class traitor.

I'm sharing a deleted scene from the witchy botanical short story I have out on submission, cut for length and pacing. 300 words of potions and garden magic 🌿✨

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead! So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

There are some indie authors following the corporate American model of pretending their books on their websites are on sale for Black Friday by price hiking them, so if you're not a fan of that, be wary... (You can also just buy your indie books full price to support your favorite authors ✨️)

I posted this on a discord server and then figured I'd turn it into a thread for the Trans day of Remembrance. Following are some of my favorite trans authors and what they write. 1/?

THE REANIMATOR MYSTERIES series is perfect for lovers of Gothic coziness.
