A snippet for my upcoming GL short story out April 4th. It reads: My hands fall to my sides, but I can't help it. I can see her tunneling into a heated rant, so I tug the side of the shirt free from her skirt for her attention. "You mean, you don't think I can do it?"
She flinches and swallows under my gaze. There's no teasing or gushing here. I'm being sincere, and she knows it.
"It's that you're an airhead," she answers.
"But only for you.”

The plight of the last paladin in a heartbroken world.

A woman in armor flies on wings of fire

The plight of the last paladin in a heartbroken world. A woman in armor flies on wings of fire

“I am Melchior. I am Darklord of the Empire and Champion of the Shadow over the Sun.”

Melchior turned and looked at Dinah where she stood, teeth and fists both clenched. 

“I know to you this makes me the enemy. I know your mother has raised you to hate me. I am the villain. I accept this. But I am a necessary villain. The heroes have failed. I failed. The world will fall to the Darkness unless something greater than the heroes takes action. I have chosen to be that something.”

“You have empowered the Shadow over the Sun.” Dinah said, no looking at him. “You are as bad as any Darkness.”

Melchior shook his head. “I’m not. Under my rule, the world will survive. Under the Darkness, it will die. I am life. It is a thankless job. People cannot see the sacrifice that I am making on their behalf. They only see the sacrifices I demand of them. They don’t see that these sacrifices keep the Darkness at bay. Their sacrifices keep them alive.”

I'm hoping to have Ep 7 of the Last Paladin up by the end of the month.

So here's a snippet from Ep 7.

“There’s something joyful and radical about writing older women in love. Their stories are quieter, braver, and often more real, because they know what they risk by choosing love again.”

I'm also a writer/director... under a different name 👀

But I've decided to focus my BlueSky presence on books instead of film, because I have a lot of fun with the book/writing community here!

If you're also a fan or a writer of #sapphiclit, say hi! I want more friends on here! 😊

this Bible is in my family. It dates back from 1574... that's when Raised for the Sword takes place. Think Elizabeth the 1st, #Renaissance France ... and it's still here. Amazing, isn't it ? #history #Tudor #Historicalnovel #sapphiclit

Selfie of a white butch lesbian giving the camera a closed-mouth smile. She has very short hair that has been dyed blond, and is wearing black stud earrings and a black hoodie.

I really love the queer/sapphic book community I've found here. 🏳️‍🌈

I've decided to come back after a four-month hiatus—and change my focus to SAPPHIC LITERATURE moving forward!

So if that's what you're into, you're in the right place! 😌

I'm close to finished with my manuscript. I know I've got some edges to iron out, but I'm super proud of this version. This is the first time I've gotten this close to finishing a book!

A blurry, dark forest is in the background. In the middle is an illustrated book cover. The title is "The Price of Peace" by Senka Heksum. The illustration depicts two women beside a fireplace, one is shorter with wavy black hair and white eyes, being hugged by a taller woman with blonde, braided hair and scars on her face. The shorter woman's expression is serene, while the taller woman's is intense. A shadow cast by the taller woman has the shape of a wolf's head. 

Around the cover are arrows with text that reads: Feminine Rage, Hurt/Comfort, Overprotective Wife, and Historical Fiction. There's also a wolf emoji and an anatomical heart emoji
