It's "Hispanic" history month and a lot of you wanted to know more about the origins of the word and why I find the term racist. This is a very broad topic and difficult to condense into an easily digestible carousel. I tried my best but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

How to support Indie authors. Of course, everything applies to Queer, BIPOC authors or other marginalised folks doubly so. Do you already do these things? Was any of them new to you? Or if you are already seasoned, maybe one of the explanations was unexpected? Which one would you add?

I got to use the word nervosity today and that makes me happy.

Can you believe I haven't made a trope map for A Most Abhorrent Vessel yet? Trope maps are most common for Romance but I love them & like to apply it to other things too. Tropes for my Invisible Man inspired novella. Which ones do you find most intriguing? If you read it, which ones did I miss?

I am so fucking tired. My body refuses to sleep past 6-7 am. Someone knock me out so I can rest.

We're a few orders away from the next tier. I have a lot of fun things cooking for it! Also, if you order directly from my payhip you get the novella 2 days early, and a discount code too! A Most Abhorrent Vessel is a queer reimagining of the Gothic horror classic The Invisible Man by HG. Wells.

Chase Harlem by Elise Burke Brown, a mystery with a side of murder, jazz and voodoo is currently free. It sounds really fun! dl.bookfunnel.com/pirl1x6sxp?t...

I'm watching a few Invisible Man movies (10ish of them) while formatting A Most Abhorrent Vessel. If you are interested, I'm happy to share them all and talk about how these sorts of things inspire me. Here are some screenshots I took, though, because I just love the old invisibility vfxs.

Can you believe I haven't officially introduced the characters for my upcoming Invisible Man reimagining? Shocking, I know. If you read it, which special skill or hobby would you add? Special thanks to @wolfehorror for the art.

One of the book cover mockups I did for A Most Abhorrent Vessel with the photographs I showed you last week. Which one do you like better? A Most Abhorrent Vessel is a horror novella inspired by The Invisible Man about a closeted gay amateur archaeologist meddling with the occult.

Awaken, My Love is a Gothic vampire novel about two disaster gays making terrible decisions in a haunted castle. It's filthy and fast-paced. But also about generational trauma & how society treats neurodivergent people, and how tenderness and care can be transformative.

And it’s SUCH a delicious book

A few of the photographs that didn't make it to the final AMAV book cover. Between writing and formatting, I've been working on my itch page since I'll be selling there direct too. I have to say I really loved how it turned out. Very happy to be able to use these photos!

I think about these themes a lot. Loneliness, marginalization, & the effects immortality would have on a person. As fantastical as they are, a fair few of them are either written from an own voices perspective or happened in real life. Which of these ones do you find most interesting?

A little if you like post for today and how I subverted a very classic Gothic fiction trope. Funnily enough I'm not fond of that trope at all. The only novel I love who does it is Jane Eyre. Which of these tropes is your favourite?

I spent most of August in bed working, but I got to do a few fun things this month. As you now, I'm very stressed with my upcoming novella. I'm focusing on getting the most important bits done and hopefully have more time to rest and do fun things next month. We will see. What did you do in August?

Happy Birthday Mary Shelley! Here are some homages to Shelley from my gay vampire novel. Did you catch any quotes & paraphrases that made it into Awaken, My Love or the influence to her novel when you read it? I don't think it surprises anyone that my vampires favourite book is Frankenstein 🫀
