Hello BlueSky.

Do you like lesbians? Of course you do. You're on BlueSky.

You can get 94 sapphic and lesbian books for just $40 all week next week. It includes Kotov Syndrome and Woodpusher, as well as many books more famous than mine. I am very excited to get it.

This book (Vile Lady Villains)! 👌 Just look at this line - 'Her touch sears me. A thousand unseen birds caw in my head. Colours erupt everywhere.'

So good.

It's Aussie April and I'd love for you to check out my books. They're bite size stories featuring feral enby and strong older female MC fighting tyranny and even the Aussie landscape features.

Oh, and vengeful spirits and forest magic.

We're this 🤏 close to making our goal for the autism bundle. We'd love to get some more sales to get all the way there.

There's some absolute bangers, including my personal fave, Enemies to Enemies, an hilarious and endearing tale of a shifter that becomes a human.

Speaker 2: He's the one with the gay romance, right?

Speaker 1: 'Masculinity!' 
Speaker 2: There are multiple powerful POV women
Speaker 1: MANTASY
Speaker 2: ... (to be clear, it's just an ellipsis, indicating that this person is giving up).
