Lesbian samurai fantasy. That's basically what my three Izumo short story collections are all about. If that sounds right up your alley, then by all means, grab yourself a copy.

Today's affirmation: Keep going. Somewhere out there, a reader is waiting for the chaos only you can write.

Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water.

Unchain My Heart by RJ Martin “Any illusion I had that love existed was left in the gorgon’s cave.” Kyra the Bard was supposed to be just another fling on Zoe the Amazon’s way to Athens. Instead, they wake up …

This wasn't the adventure Kyra the Bard was expecting when she hooked up with a tall, muscular woman: she's woken up manacled to Zoe the Amazon, and now she's being dragged across Greece in a mad dash to Athens

I kinda like it but I do need to tighten it up as it's the first paragraph 😅

Revised after feedback 🫶

Today I'm going to work on the cover. It's mostly done, I just have a few issues (like the spaceship currently looks like crap)

A graphic over a mountain with a dragon design. It reads: “Guardian of the Sky” - Novella - Queer Fantasy - Dragons! - A Mountain Temple - A Tyrannical Empire - Fighting Back Any Way You Can

Over a graphic of a mountain with a dragon: High in the mountains of Hulfa, the Temple of the Golden Scale has been conquered by Azerian knights. They have one goal: Kill every dragon and use their bodies as magical components in their weapons of war. Fionn will not allow that to happen. He stands alone as the last defender of his faith against the invading forces of the Azerian Empire. The dragons are gods, the mighty guardians of the sky. He will do anything and everything in his power to keep the invaders from the dragons. Even when freeing a dragon caught in one of their traps may cost him his life.

Over a picture of mountain, there is a box with the text: "Fionn - The only remaining devotee at the Temple of the Golden Scale in the mountain country of Hulfa. While has been beaten down over and over by the Azerian Empire's knights, he remains steadfast in his faith and determined to do right. He is strong, resolute, and defiant. Beside the text, there is a drawing of a young man with tan skin and long brown hair worn in a braid. he's wearing red robes, brown boots, and has a golden dragon pendant. the handle of a knife is peeking out of the outer layer

Hello! I am looking for Bet@ Readers for my queer dragon novella, Guardian of the Sky! I'd like feedback by the end of June, so you have plenty of time!

Check out the graphics for information about the story!

Fill out this form if interested: forms.gle/ycKyBbcMZihe...

I guess it depends on the platform. On BSky I check history and if it doesn't match a bot I assume you're okay 😅

That feels like a weird question to me lol, I'm more concerned about theft. it's not like I'm limited on the number of beta readers, so if one doesn't give quality feedback... oh well?

The spaceport was the biggest megastruct in Vestal City, an uneven stack of glass and durasteel cylinders a mile tall. The second layer hung over the train station and groundway, shielding it from the harsh summer sun. Spindly antenna spires stabbed into the sky, ringed with holos cycling through arcane signals.

the next paragraph establishes the size of the spaceport!

(and yeah it's deep POV)

probably because every week they make a new one, but they use the same script
