Instead of this, why not participate in the #Transrightsreadathon? Lots of great recommendations at: transrightsreadathon.carrd.co

There's also the hashtag here on Bsky, and I've personally reposted a ton of trans authors and artists today.

The Fall of the House of Valenziaga: A Special Edition Novel It’s Drag Race meets a gay Game of Thrones meets The Chronicles of Amber in this queer post-apocalyptic science-fantasy extravaganza!

The Legendary (and Minor) Houses of Twixt are what you get if you take the idea of SFF noble houses, but make them *found* family instead of blood family, and add a little supernatural boon-and-bane twist. Plus infuse each one with inspiration from queer culture!

Text reads cosy fantasy for only 99ç! March only.

March is my anniversary, and so it's the perfect time to pick up my cosy achillean fantasy about two disaster husbands trying to save the world while learning what marriage means to both of them.

And it's currently only 99cents in the US kindle store for this month only!

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.

Supreme Court decision does not require Trans+ bathroom ban, Scottish court says An employment tribunal has set out why Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act 2010 does not require segregating Trans+ people from single-sex spaces

🆕 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.

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.
