Summer is here! Sort of. On a fluctuating basis. Here in central New York, it'll be in the high 80s for a few days, then plunge back into the 60s. My garden is doing well...

As it's getting to the end of June, it's time for a newsletter! This one features a Regency portrait clothing analysis, and news about my #NoSG2025 work, Arrow Collar Man. buttondown.com/cassidyperco...

Among many important things mages at the Sanctum Arcanum were not told during training is the fact that clouds are cold – cold and wet. Watching the sun rise from the deck of an aethership was truly amazing, and the standard-issue longcoat and goggles helped, but regular checks for hypothermia by the ship’s surgeon were as damaging to morale as spending the maiden voyage of an experimental fleet hiding in wisps above the waves.

Hey, I'm Nina. I write mostly sapphic D/s erotica, romantasy, and romantisci-fi.

Here's the current, rough draft opening of the (still!) yet-to-be-named #Aetherpunk #SwordLesbians novella I'm writing for #NoSG2025.

The main character, Raina, from my #NoSG2025 novella Astral Stalker! The book only needs one more light edit and then I’ll be sending it off to betas. 👀 #authorsky #NoSGHype #artsky

Catching Up! What a busy, busy month April was. You wouldn’t believe how much effort it takes to costume a theatrical production with a sizeable cast … or maybe you...

Ellyn's eyes have been opened to what #Poly might mean for her, even if she's not quite ready to accept that she's worth it... a struggle I know plenty of us experience.

Dear English language: Why do your encapsulated quotations looks so odd?

"Right." I cleared my throat and slid into my jacket. "When and where and, assuming the answers are 'Ambiguous and right-fucking-now', do we have time to grab a cup of tea along the way?"

Sunlight was a bastard – thirst, nausea, the smell of that awful durian liquor, and gravity too. The rough-hewn sheets clinging to my the back of my neck could jump right off the nearest pier. Also, I was pretty sure I was about to murder whoever kept pounding on the inside my skull.

"Aye Captain." I spun on my heel and shouted up the aftcastle. "Starboard easy pilot!" I'd learn the mage's name if they stayed.

Then I nearly lost my footing as the entire skyship lurched the wrong direction. I snarled but felt my stomach churn as multiple crew raised reports: "Dragon!"

Need to make up my mind about what to write for #NoSG2025

Do I turn How did I Fall for the Most Femme Girl at Mecha Pilot Academy? (silly, wip title) into a novella?

Or do I write the steampunk/ aetherpunk airship lesbian pirate story I barely have outlined in my head but have aching to write?

Dearest Ambition: I feel you tapping my shoulder again – hovering fingertips and searching eyes. Your short story is nearly finished on time. Now you want me to do a novella before October? Fine, but disappear again and I ignore you for the rest of the year to write silly, sexy mecha shit. #NoSG2025

Cryptic little excerpt from my #NoSG2025 for WIP Wednesday:

“Yes, madam, the chintz is twenty-five cents a yard, but the cretonne is only five more than that, and will stand up to the sunlight much better. Worth the investment, I'd say!”

Oooof, friends, it's been a rough few days. Very little writing before today when I managed a bit of a chunk. Hoping to get more writing in in the future, but ugh, frustrated! #NoSG2025 #WriteSky
