We're heading into the weekend, so here's a little reminder that my novella came out this week! It's free and available to read online or as an epub :)

Got some good work in on my new story last night! I know I said I'd finish my band boys short, but the brain worms have struck again. This new one is gonna be on the more erotica scale vs traditional romance, and it's a cyberpunk setting.

Won't pay editors but will pay AI companies to do the jobs of editors but worse: the trad publishing model

My gaslamp #gothic murder mystery short story, Honoria, is out! At the request of his prince, Owen Rosedown investigates a woman's mysterious death... But is everything as simple as it seems? vincentlore.itch.io/honoria payhip.com/b/oP8Qj ko-fi.com/s/50e65acb09 📚💙🎉 🤏📚 📚🏳️‍⚧️

Hi, I'm a disabled trans man author of queer gothic fantasy. My debut follows a blood mage spymaster as she recruits a noble bastard with a terrible gift to hunt down a magical serial killer for the vampiric Eternal King—all while planning to overthrow him.

I am a Scrivener evangelist. I'm happy to give an independent company by writers for writers my money and it's a one-time payment not a subscription! I especially love that you can use it to create epubs super easily. The manual is 900 pages so I probably understand 10% of the functionality tho lol.

Finished entering my final edits from my paper proofread pass of Bleed with You. I can't quite believe it. This is the longest thing I've ever finished! My first novella! And it's done!!

Will be announcing the release date tomorrow morning :3

The biggest struggle I'm having as a political zinemaker is by the time the zine is done and assembled, current events have advanced so rapidly the zine is redundant. This was true for No Kings. The zine drew on the outrage of the E files, but by the time of the protest it was Iran in the news.

The world is on fire and I'm like. Do you want a zine... to give each of us a small amount of dopamine in these trying times...

Post office trip was a bust because they were closed due to understaffing 😬 Gonna try again tomorrow so if you want some zines, grab 'em now and I'll have them mailed ASAP!

Bleed with You is a vampire story but it's also heavily influenced by my love of art museums. When I was a teenager, I went to MoMA with my mom and she cried in the room with Monet's Water Lilies. I pay homage to that with my boys, who are both artists and feel things very deeply.

I finished my on-paper edits over the weekend! Gonna spend my writing meetup this Thursday entering my changes, and then... a release day? Soon???

Save the date 🩵 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
