Fraudsters are AI-mincing books and republishing them onto Amazon. This was done to The Isle in the Silver Sea - I assume in the hope people would accidentally click on it. It's been removed, but this is a warning of something to look out for, to my fellow authors.

Pride month pride month give me your book recs with ace-spec MCs GO GO GO!

And so, because I’m so tired, here’s Sir Hiss to model my The Ice Princess’s Fair Illusion. He had woken and wanted to eat the book. I’m not sure modelling is for him. Alas he’s stuck with it for the month. dovelynnwriter.itch.io/ice-princess...

You know when you have a fully-formed story in your dreams, but when you wake the only thing left of it is “damn, that was a cool idea I wanted on my WIP list?” Yeah had one of those. Mind you, I’m still so tired also managed to mistake the, ah, toilet brush holder for a mug for a few sec too long.

I especially want to help low-income queer authors who no longer want to use linktree due to their slop-usage. Ten spots open. let me make you a link in bio.

If you’re looking for fantasy books with autistic and queer rep, can I recommend some books I’ve read and enjoyed recently? Check out Lost Talent by M.S. Palmer ( @matthewspalmer.bsky.social ) and Magic, Maps, and Mischief by David Green ( @davidgreenwriter.bsky.social )

Happy Pride Month! I have some Problematic Lesbians for your reading enjoyment! If you enjoyed Xena: Warrior Princess, you will love my book SMOKE AND STEEL. It's part of an AWESOME Pride bundle over on Itchio, too. bundle: m.dax.ink/bttsb

Pride Hard! In this bundle, you can get 37 queer books, zines, and other publications for just $40! itch.io/b/3675/pride...

#Booksky #PrideMonth 1/? Kicking off Pride Month with a series of posts about our books, authors and press trivia! Queen of Swords Press was launched 9.5 years ago by award-winning queer author and editor, Catherine Lundoff. Since then, we’ve published 28 books featuring sf/f/h w/ queer MCs.

There we go. After several days of fighting and wrangling with my new epub format, I think I've finally sorted it out and emerged victorious. Or at least as victorious as I can be.

Today for Pride, sleepy Sir Hiss is modelling Skye Kilaen’s Glorious Day on ereader. skyekilaen.itch.io/glorious-day

MOAR 2026 aspec books!

Happy Pride Month! Besides there being new content scheduled for literally every day of this month, I'd also really like to try to highlight one of the lists on the site every day. Today's is a major LGBTQReads fave: Romance by Trope/Archetype: lgbtqreads.com/romance/by-t...

Sir Hiss is such a cinnamon roll. Poor baby just came to fetch me because Furret was using his scratching pad as a pillow and she wouldn’t move. Also it was bed time, but mostly he wanted to scratch things.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Introducing the first of our short stories featured in Common Bonds 3: You, Me and the Sea by Lucie Mason! Absolutely great approach to the mermaids' song from an aro lens~ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

[stares daggers at her Kobo] For the life of me, I cannot figure out why it doesn't render *all* the CSS. It should work fine!

Sir Hiss is still learning this book modeling business. He’s trying! (To sleep, lbh.) But here he is, sleepily showing off Al Hess’s Hep Cats of Boise for Pride. alhessbooks.itch.io/hep-cats

Submissions are now open 🪶 Holler if you have questions!

Can you write Epic SciFi-Fantasy with crime & mystery threads? And a continued MC healing from trauma arc, deepening relationships & found family? With autistic, ADHD, enby, aromantic & asexual identity exploration? I hope so, because today is Launch Day! 🤞🥳 ♠️🌈📚🏳️‍⚧️🧠🪐 elisecarlson.com/sythe-series/

Oh, easily the retired literature lecturer who kept coming back to teach and thought that "Can you please GIVE ME A FEW SECONDS to formulate an answer before you take over answering your own question and assume I didn't read the book" was asking for special snowflake treatment.

I've finally cleaned out the kitchen cabinets that hadn't been yet. Watch as I'll get commentary about where the rarely-used toaster is and how I repurposed the towel basket into a dirty laundry basket. [sigh]

Look how many bundles! Get in on that!!! And happy Pride!

Queer Book Lovers, Should you be suffering from an under-stuffed-with-queer-books-ereader this Pride, 37 queer authors of Fantasy/ SciFi/ Romance/ other genres have bundled our books together, from now till June 8! 🌈📚 itch.io/b/3678/pride... 3 similar bundles (in above link)!

So, hey, I'm trying out a new thing I'm really excited about. It's a list of aspec releases! The first post covers pretty much half of 2026 (and includes what I could find, obvs), so... Check it out if you want a list of recent aspec releases! www.patreon.com/posts/159580...

Now I go splat. Sir Hiss wants cuddles, and he reminded me that I should guard his food as he eats because *he* sure will just let Furret steal it whilst he looks on forlornly.

These anthologies are gems.

Busy and productive Octocon programme meeting this evening! Have you give us your suggestions yet, or let us know you'd like to take part? octocon.com/programme/

There are still TWO edits left for our 2500-word tier 👀👀 And each edit reward claimed is JUST ABOUT 10% of the remaining $$$ we need to hit our stretch goal !! ✨✨✨ Some past edit tier authors have gone on to hire an Augur editor on for their full manuscript 👀👀

Maybe spending all afternoon redoing this ebook was a mistake. (But also it's the biggest of the collections and overall the most work and now the base is done. It just needs checking and tweaking.)

LESS THAN $100 ($60 US) TO $10K CA FOR TALES & FEATHERS !!!!!! And we’re down to less than TWO days to make it to $13K CAD ($9.4K US) and fund TWO more years of our pro paying slice of life fantasy market 💜✨ EVERY share gets us closer to another new story 💜

Sneaking this announcement out before the weekend: We are pleased to announce the ToC and share the cover for We're Here: The Best Queer Speculative Fiction 2025! www.neonhemlock.com/news/cover-r...

Throw a digital dart, find a book (by me) to check out! Yes, I'm doing a call-back to an old meme format. It made sense as a marketing thing to me. This is basically how I pick backlog to mention. (Watch as it now won't pause for people or what) Get more info the titles here: dovelynnwriter.itch.io

[throws dart] Today's "Oh, right. Marketing." title is Among the Glimmering Flowers, my demi/allo friendship meetcute with adult lovers reminiscing fantasy novel. I recommend not messing with Themselves. Like ever. Even by accident. Available wide, like on Kobo/Kobo Plus! www.kobo.com/us/en/e...

This is a really random sale and it's the middle book of a series BUT it might be the best book 2 of a trilogy I've ever read, it's only 50 cents, *and* you should treat yourself to Black Wings Beating (book 1) anyway: amzn.to/4vkEhoH IIRC this one's dual POV starring gay and aroace siblings.

We are delighted to welcome @rachelbayer.bsky.social and @joejukes.bsky.social for the first session of the Aro/Ace Online Talk Series who will introduce us to #asexual #geographies! The talk will take place on zoom next Friday, 5 June, at 3pm (UK). Link here: www.aroaceresearch.com/events

So as part of the Common Bonds 3 campaign, you can grab an exclusive short story of mine, KAERALGAN THE VICIOUS AND THE SKY MOBULAS. For which I made me own cover?? I talked about doing that and the process of writing it in a Patreon post that's now public www.patreon.com/posts/156437...

Aaaaah!!! It’s heeeeeeere!

[looks at book discourse] Personally I’d just remarket older YA titles as historical fiction if I was THAT concerned kids get thrown out of the story, but whyever would publishing do something like that.

If you like ace romance with wry humour, messy queers fighting for justice and epic worldbuilding, The Dragon Next Door is for you! 🐲 Sword lesbian (bi) 🐲 Secret baby (dragon) 🐲 Friends to lovers (ace) 🐲 Found family 🐲 Opposites attract books2read.com/u/bpVEQ6 vriccithode.itch.io/the-dragon-n...

I’m not getting a floor this week. 😭 I just want my closet to not have a floor made of construction work triplex. 😭

Must-read essay by @drrebeccawinthrop.bsky.social about using AI for brainstorming. "Brainstorming is the work that’s fundamental to writing. As a researcher studying A.I.’s effects on education, I have concluded that these tools only superficially improve writing." 1/
