I would LOVE to hire all of the artists to make a mountain of art of my characters. There is nothing better than supporting fellow creatives and I love seeing my word-characters turned into visual art 🖤

It's #lesficfri, theme is "thrill". All of the quotes I could use had spoilers, so instead, a little quote from the first chapter! The Rising Dark is a sapphic urban fantasy novel with vampires, demon-slaying & very British coziness. It's on all of the retailers, including Kobo Plus & Itch!

The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

The first draft of the second Sisters of Twilight book is done at 78300 words! 🥰 It's going to be significantly longer than THE RISING DARK, featuring more vampire lore, more mysteries to be unraveled, and of course, a FF romance between a vampire warrior and a human doctor! #lesfic #sapphicbooks

With the winter holidays coming up, may I recommend my FF novel, THE RISING DARK? 🏳️‍🌈🖤 It features a human nurse falling in love with the tall, beautiful vampire of her dreams. There are women with swords killing demons, sapphic smooching, some mystery, and cozy paranormal vibes! #lesfic #sapphic

'Pen name' is said in a flat American accent by a harassed writer dressed in sweatpants & coffee-stained t-shirt hunched over a keyboard 'Nom de plume' is said with panache by a mysterious figure wielding a quill *scratch scratch* on a sheaf of parchment while wearing a cloak & possibly a top hat

it's here it's QUEER it's the 2025 Queer Adult SFF Books list!!!! 🌈📚🌈📚🌈📚🌈

After years of struggling during the dark winter months, I've finally bought myself one of those SAD lamps and now I'm like a content cat cozying up to my portable sun 🖤

My favourite by far is Romantic Outlaws by Charlotte Gordon. The joint biography of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley reads is mesmerizing. The drama! The pathos! The inevitable heartbreak! Highly recommend even for people not usually into biography

Cities Skylines has finally added bicycle paths, but it crashed before I could complete my bicycle utopia 😭

Just got the cover illustration for my second book and it's gorgeous 🥰 Can't wait to share its sapphic vampire glory soon!

Finally saw Frankenstein in the cinema and had a delightful time. Very much enjoyed the visual aspects, and although the story was reimagined, it felt quite true in spirit to the book

Jekyll & Hyde, but it's an artist's creative side and marketing side, and never shall the two meet

This might be a good moment to let everyone know my sapphic urban fantasy novel THE RISING DARK is on Kobo Plus! You can read it for free! It has a UK setting, vampire warrior women with swords, and a sweet romance. The second book is coming in spring 2026. #lesfic #sapphic #sff #indie 🧡🦄📚

Are there any UK planner/stationary fans who have planner recs? I was about to order a Plum Paper one, but shipping from the US was more expensive than the planner itself

Applying for part time jobs because selling my silly little gay bookies doesn't pay my bills in this capitalist hellscape 😊

Gailey's THE ECHO WIFE was excellent, can't wait for this one!

Women with swords, you say... 👀

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

THE RISING DARK, my sapphic urban fantasy novel, has now entered what I call The Trickle™, where after the excitement of release, people are slowly finding it organically. It's so satisfying to see new readers discover it! (Also, if you're into warrior women with swords & sweet romances... 👀)

Had to watch this week as my French teacher told class they could use AI to practice French with, but "be careful because it's very often wrong". If only there were these resources that were vetted by experts and checked for errors... like... books? It's university policy to promote AI use

I would love to diversify away from Amazon (yuck) but unfortunately over 80% of my sales are on there. I wish more people shopped on Kobo/Google Play/B&N etc!

It's a deliciously grey November day, which means it's perfect writing weather! I'm getting so close to the end of this draft

Looking for a #sapphic read this Halloween? You might like The Rising Dark, the first book in an urban fantasy series about female vampire warriors finding love and killing their foes with swords. The first book has a sweet romance, no spice! #lesfic #lgbt #queer #sapphicbooks

Sometimes I wonder how much I would be able to write if I didn't spend all of my time playing grand strategy games, but then the urge to just play one more turn wins out...

Happy release day to my debut, THE RISING DARK! I'm very proud of this little book 🖤 It's urban fantasy with a sapphic romantic pairing in every book, with an ongoing mystery storyline! I realise I've gone a bit left-field with it (sweet, slow-burn romance, no spice) but I hope it finds its readers

New book day is always a good day. @celiathorn.bsky.social

A new cute neighbourhood kitty has decided that our garden is a great place to nap. She's not quite interested in pets yet, but I think we'll be friends soon 🥰

This description definitely got me at "fire-wielding nun". Another one for the list!

Celebrating cover reveal day by ordering two sapphic books. I heard excellent things about Taylor Jenkins Reid's Atmosphere! Has anyone read it yet? Will it destroy me?

I couldn't be more thrilled to reveal the beautiful cover for my upcoming sapphic paranormal romance novel, THE RISING DARK! The art is by Claudia Caranfa, who is an incredibly talented artist and has been a dream to work with. 🖤 #wlwbooks #queersff #coverreveal #lesfic

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here's my list of 150+ sapphic books out from July-December of 2025, sortable and searchable by genre, release date, and representation: lesbrary.com/sapphic-book... Let me know if I missed any that you're excited about!

Finished the final read-through of my sapphic paranormal romance novel! I started this book in July 2024, so it feels appropriate to finish it almost a year later. Can't wait for you all to meet Lavinia and the other vampire warriors!
