One year ago, this little book hit the shelves in the UK. It didn't have much in the way of fanfare, no one will nominate it for awards, but despite everything, it's sold so much better than I expected and has made some solid fans, which, at the end of the day, is what matters.

In a week, it will be the anniversary of my second book coming out, and my second anniversary as an author, so I'm going to count down the days by trying to convince you to read it, starting with the cover - designed by Lydia Blagden and art by Mia Carnevale. 1/

I can confirm that this one is SO GOOD

Gotta say, the depreciation of academia and the spreading general anti-intellectual sentiment suck for everybody, but they suck in an extra personal way when you’re an early career researcher

In other news, I really miss writing shorts lol

Haven't really been active here due to various reasons that can be filed under "life" and "mental health", but I'm pleased to report that saint WIP passed 54k words (of my 100k goal). Dark fantasy enemies-to-lovers coming soon(?) to a Bluesky near you

Absolutely no one’s forcing anyone to buy queer books they don’t want to buy, but quite a lot of people with a lot of power are literally banning queer books from libraries, bookstores, curricula, so maybe fuck all the way off with this slimy hand-wringing bullshit & fix your fucking hearts

Hey folks, if you have some cash to spare, consider donating to Arye's eviction fund? Thank you!

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
