Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
Hiii and thanks for the opp. ✨
Trans guy here, this is my very upsetting novel called Sugar People: www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

I thought it'd be a good idea to make brown cheese today.
5 hours later and I am late for a christmas party because there is TOO MUCH MILK TO REDUCE
It is legitimately so comforting to bake a whole bunch of flatbreads when it's snowing softly outside. I feel very cosy

Flatbread time!
This is a direct result of international readers contacting me after struggling with ebook restrictions. Yes, this is more admin for me, but ACCESSIBILITY IS IMPORTANT
MY INDIE PRESS NOW HAS A WEBSTORE! You can now buy ebooks and physical paperbacks directly from:
Gallant.no/shop
Ebooks are DRM free, and paperbacks can be shipped internationally via drop shipping. Its a wonderful world.
I find it so depressing going back on to a platform I haven't used in years, to find people I once knew are now TERFs. Yes, block and move on, but Christ. I expected better.

SUGAR PEOPLE ANIME MOOD BOARD
->4 anime that are very relevant to my book!
Thank you John Scalzi for being a paragon for other writers!
I have partaken of the comments section, and I hope all my fellow non-tradpub authors get lots of sales!
oh man, the amount of extra guff google docs attempts to inject into any given document is insane ;_; It's bad enough that it's a default behaviour, and even worse that it's so often incorrect
lol Microsoft Word tried to get me to change 'a horrifying few seconds' into 'a horrifying few second' because, and I quote, 'this verb probably indicates it is singular, not plural'. NONE OF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE
Oh bums, I left my Sugar People bookmark in the copy of A Little Life I just returned to the library 🙈
Well, at least it fits the theme.

An image of an inventory item from Baldur's Gate 3 which says "Old Floppy Hat - Whacked around more often than a clown in a tragedy."
Mr. Ardyn Final Fantasy, what are you doing in Baldur's Gate 3?
Seriously, flavour text and NPC interaction writers in video games truly make these worlds come to life
Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3 telling Karlach "Exactly the sort of battle I live to fight. And the sort made even more thrilling with a hot-hearted telling at my side."
Lae'zel complimenting Karlach in BG3 🔥 I adore flavour text like this
POV: you are a simple gay farmer enjoying the fruits of your fishing labours, but make it *glitzy*

HI BOOK NERDS
I wrote a book earlier this year - it's a surreal af queer horror coming-of-age deal that is about some truly terrible things, and also dnd.
I've posted about it a bunch on TWT, but that's all moving over here.
Say hi if you are also a fellow book nerd!!
This is what I look like in the morning
