The Queen of Ieflaria is now just $1.99 until Daughter of the Sun's release on Sept 1st! If you've been holding off on checking out the series, this is the perfect time to jump on! My books are sapphic romances set in a fun, hopeful fantasy world filled with magic and monsters. 🧡🦄📚💜🌈📚

A little green inchworm appeared in my room so I put him on a basil leaf intending to carry him outside and now he's feasting upon it.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has been reposting my book stuff! I appreciate you so much because I am so bad at social media!

Gah I forgot the alt text! Let me try that again.

Tales of Inthya is a queernormative fantasy series about ladies doing magic and going on adventures and falling in love! You can check out the first two books at linktr.ee/effiecalvin 🌈📚

Purchase links can be found at linktr.ee/effiecalvin 🌈💜

Daughter of the Sun is the second book in the Tales of Inthya series, though it can be read as a standalone.

Orsina of Melidrie is a paladin on a quest. Aelia is a lesser chaos goddess with virtually no worshippers. When Orsina mistakes Aelia for a victim in need of rescue, the two set off on a journey across southern Vesolda and slowly begin to fall in love.

Orsina has no idea who or what Aelia truly is, and Aelia has no intention of telling her, but the choice may not be hers in the end...

why must heroes go outside and do difficult things or get real smart and solve problems. what if heroes were expected to eat a whole bag of chips in one go. what if that was heroics.

i should not have to market my books. i should just be able to press a button and i get a billion preorders and then i go to bed.

I apologize for being bad at social media, but you must understand I am bad at a great number of things.

They look nice together, I think.

I'm secretly one human being in a trench coat.

The Queen of Ieflaria: Princess Esofi of Rhodia is engaged to marry Prince Albion of Ieflaria. But when she arrives in his country for the wedding, she find out that he's suffering from a bad case of being dead. Now she must marry his irresponsible sister, Princess Adale. This is less of an issue than you'd think because everyone in this setting is super gay, but there are still angry dragons to deal with.

Daughter of the Sun: Orsina of Melidrie is a paladin. She is big on killing evil things with her sword but not so big on critical thinking. Aelia is a minor chaos goddess without any followers. When Orsina mistakes Aelia for a young woman escaping an abusive family, she offers to escort her to safety and Aelia is like, "Um okay?" Along the way they have adventures and accidentally kiss and then kiss on purpose.

In films and shows where an animal dies, they should do a post-credits scene of that animal jumping back up after their "death" and getting treats and praise from the other actors for doing such a good job of playing dead.

today we weeded a 1970s cookbook from the collection. i have such wonders to show you.

I feel like with being online there's this impossible balance where you have to be real (so people can relate to you) but not too real (people find it unappealing) and no matter how good you are at it, every so often a total stranger will lose their shit at you.

I have a face for radio, a voice for print, and a personality for being sealed away in a tomb for five thousand years.

I don't tell anyone IRL that I write unless I trust them deeply and have known them for a long time, because I have found that people become really strange and creepy about it. It's like you stop becoming a person to them and start becoming a product. IDK if I'm explaining it clearly.
