A land where magic is forbidden. Power and secrets, buried long ago in the snow. A fractured hero, with wolf and wilderness within. Will his hunt lead him to darkness, or instead shed light on his life and the world around him? #Wildforged #Fantasy #LGBTQIA #ShortRead #Novelette #AvailableNow

Now that we're done with hot girl summer, it's finally our turn:
optimistic nihilist summer is here! It's time to live your life like it's temporary (it is), nobody's keeping score (they ain't), and the heat death of the universe will wipe all your mistakes from existence sooner or later (it will)

As we enter the last days of pride month I’ll leave you with these. We were shown this year that pride is more important than ever. Not the perceived sinful pride of the Bible or pride goeth before the fall but the pride of survival. Of knowing one’s self.
We're now under £150 away from reaching our next stretch goal!! Who wants some swank printed endpapers on their Wrath Month hardbacks??

Look, I can't fix war, but I can keep writing and encouraging others to write queer little books and make queer little art and then scream about it as a little offerings of joy to anyone who spends a little to get them, and I've decided - that has to be enough.
One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
