A demon hunter collects fantastic swords based on beetles 🪲 Every other day this month I'm posting a new prompt-based flash fiction for #Swordtember. If you join my page for as little as $4 CAD, you support me writing more queer fantasy ⚔️✨ www.patreon.com/posts/swordt...

How you doing? Need a little break? Maybe some cute and cozy stories would help. Totally free at alhessbooks.itch.io and set in a soft and overgrown post-post-apocalyptic world inspired by the song (Nothing But) Flowers by the Talking Heads 🤖🪻

This was posted in a MAGA author group so I wanted to bring it over here so you don’t accidentally pick up one of her books.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Meant to share this link to help Gretchen and the lost revenue from losing her book.

“Crawl your way out” 🩸⚡️ Self portrait number 7 in my annual series! I’ve been making these yearly portraits ever since I realised I was trans in 2018. I started 2024 with huge amounts of fear and self doubt and slowly learned that I deserve to be kind to myself (thanks, therapy). #art #selfPortrait

My #SPSFC semifinalist review for Yours Celestially by Al Hess ( @al-distortion.bsky.social ‬). davedobsonbooks.com/spsfc4-semif...

I read this as a judge and found it to be a wonderful science fiction fairy tale filled with Heart and whimsey. @al-distortion.bsky.social has crafted a comical, poignant, heart-breaking sci-fi fantasy. Loved it.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

Good morning! To distract from today's Malice in Trumpland #dystopia here is a sweet #otter for you. #Breathe. #otters #animals #nature

I'm a Cherokee descendant, so I have quite a few Indigenous characters across my books. Denver in Key Lime Sky is perceptive, opinionated, and xyr special interest is pie. Xe's part Cherokee but isn't connected to that side of xyr family, which fuels xyr isolation & need for belonging.

The SFF Trans Visibility book bundle is live on itchio! Runs thru the 31st! 38 books & a few shorts from 32 fantastic authors. I've set a goal of raising $2k bc it's never been a better time to support & encourage trans authors. Please share 🏳️‍⚧️💕 itch.io/b/2927/sff-b...

The sequel to Downriver will be released on June 3. It received cover art courtesy of @shellycampbell.bsky.social that will be revealed on April 8. I'm so excited for this one!

FLESH AND BONE comes out tomorrow on all wide ebook retailers! Gothic western queer horror story with cowboys full of mutual pining and self-loathing, and the werewolf hunting them across the Prairies 🌕
