This kickstarter looks incredible! I adored the Market of Dreams and Destiny, and I'm really looking forward to this.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Incredibly excited to announce that my story, The Salt and the Cure, will be coming to @lightspeedmagazine.com next February! Its about looking at the question of 'what is even god' and instead asking if you can love someone into god.
This isn’t even all of the AIDS quilt. It was so long they didn’t have room to display it all. Reagan flat out fucking murdered queer people
Woo!
🆕 An employment tribunal has set out in great detail why the Supreme Court ruling does not require segregating Trans+ people from single-sex spaces, in stark contrast to advice from the EHRC

I don't know if I'm eligible for any awards, and frankly the idea of looking terrifies me. I'm just a little guy; there are so many fantastic writers out there. But hey, I wrote books, one was published last year (the green one - it's very good, or at least I think so.)

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.
Quotes read from top to bottom: “You’re a disrespectful little cur. I should have my father whip you.” “Whip me yourself, you coward,” he snapped. “You’re cute when you’re being treasonous.” “I don’t care,” Seth replied. “You need to eat, so you’re going to eat this, and if you don’t do it by yourself, I’ll pin you down and feed you myself, and not in an enjoyable sexy way, either.” “Hey,” Laurence said softly. “You’ll keep me safe. I know you will.” “I believe you said something about begging, your highness,” Seth said softly, leaning down to nibble gently on the prince’s ear. “Perhaps you might like to reconsider?” “You mean you weren’t just desperate for another taste of my cock?” Seth raised an eyebrow and Laurence laughed, a rich and full sound that made Seth’s heart swell. “Arse,” Seth said, a little louder than he intended. He slung Laurence’s arm over his shoulder. “Arse,” Laurence replied, pinching Seth’s with his free hand.
What's the relationship dynamic in the Murder Train book? Much as I love the stoic bodyguard who adores his prince but can't be with him dynamic, that didn't fit these two. The physical feelings came much faster than the emotional ones.
In their defence, they are idiots, your honour 😂
Women want one thing*, and it’s disgusting.
*An epic sapphic space fantasy about the rise of a dead cosmic god, the chronically-ill Herald of its arrival and the transfem Valkyrie who are just literally holding hands through the horrors.

"All lesbians are TERFs" is propaganda designed to divide the strongest allies in the spectrum of queer identities - don't fall for it.

A good summary of many of the lies told by people like Wes Streeting and the rest of the political far right about puberty blockers.

And he's done! 84k, 34 chapters, and one epilogue down, the Anti-Empire Murder Train book is done.
This started as a bit of a spite project, a pushback against pro-imperial structures in fantasy, but I utterly fell in love with the story, with the journey of Seth and Laurence.
Thankyou!

This is an adult space horror novel with a m/m second-chance romance. Set in a far future, Metropolis Down is a novel about grief, trauma, and redemption as the world descends into a cosmic horror nightmare. There are heavy content warnings for the book, which are available on the author’s website.
A black, green, and red swirled space background with two men in the foreground. The one on the left is a broad man with curly brown hair, freckles, a beard, and green eyes. He is wearing a dark blue jacket with golden cuffs and collar open over a black shirt and pants. He has an arm circled around the man on the left’s head. The man on the left is upside down. He is slender and has tawny skin, black hair, and brown eyes. He is wearing all black with cutouts on his shoulders. Below the figures are the words: METROPOLIS DOWN and VESPER DOOM.
I'm so happy to be involved in the spectacular cover review for Metropolis Down, by @vesperdoom.com
It has been an absolute honour to watch this book come to life, and I can't wait for people to enjoy Jett and Eddie's story!

Seth opened his eyes. Laurence was coming towards him. Laurence, mounted on a dappled grey charger, his hair blowing in the wind. He looked majestic. Regal. Beautiful.
