I love morally gray characters, so if you love them too … books2read.com/pending books2read.com/Bury-the-Dead books2read.com/Cold-Comfort-RF books2read.com/WTS #QueerWritersChat

A bulletin board featuring a map of Michigan and saying “Michigan can be thrilling.“ Books by Rebecca Frost surround the map with red string,m connecting each book to a spot on the map via pushpins. Pending (dark blue building with two lit windows and two silhouetted figures inside) connects to Kalamazoo. Bury the Dead (four candles, two lit, two sniffed out) connects to South Range, which is near Houghton. Cold Comfort (a torn postcard of a lakeside lodge) is up at the tip of the Keweenaw, near Copper Harbor. Where There’s Smoke (a cobalt blue food truck follows a winding road with a foggy background and coals in the foreground) points to Marquette.

A4 #QueerWritersChat Anya Darkleaf from S.D. Simper's Fallen Gods series. She's such a nuanced, complex character. Britney Jackson's Capt Maria Wells from her Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons series is a close 2nd. She's a character that does the "wrong" things for the right reasons. Highly recc both.

A3 #QueerWritersChat Oh, I❤️‍🔥this question, I can't wait to see everyone's responses 🤘 I feel like for me a morally grey character is someone that does what they believe is right, whether it's actually right. They don't mind throwing hands or getting their knuckles dirty, as long as they get results.

A2: #QueerWritersChat I *love* when I get to write morally grey characters ❤️‍🔥 My best have been as a ghostwriter so I can't talk about them. Of the ones I can talk about, my fave is probs cop/vet Det. Olly Thompson, a genderfluid lesbian that's less morally grey & more "Bruh, you need therapy" haha

WTF Queensland?! "...you can do whatever you want to these children that are hundreds of miles away from anybody, anywhere. They don't have access to family, community, kin and culture" "The bill also fails to set minimum standards of care for children, such as accommodation, food, health services"

Concerns planned boot camps may allow child abuse to go unreported

The Merge x Rules For Ghosting When Melody's sister is abducted from their shared body, she'll do anything to get her back. Including subjecting herself to an uncomfortable road trip with an angel inhabiting a corpse and her sister's very confused girlfriend. [ #QuestPit #Q #A #F #S #LGBT ]

A mood board that is a collection of 12 images: breakfast at a diner, women in the front seat of a car, a gas station at night, a cabin in a snowy forest at night, women holding hands, a road at sunset, an angel statue, a car in the dark with its headlights on, a car mirror with a sunset, a snowy forest at sunset, a paper map, a blonde woman holding a paper map, a purple orb, an eye with a purple iris, hands holding a rainbow flag, and a sheet of music.

When pulled into a weapons program, Vic expects routine - not a neural link wiring her mind with an alien officer's. No thought unshared. No feeling hidden... not even the ones growing between them. Vic has a way out. Naev doesn’t. Falling in love was never part of the program. #QuestPit #W #R #SF

Moodboard for TANDEM, a sapphic sci-fi romance, in blue and violet shades. Top row: A person in a dim blue lighting wears a headset with glowing red lenses; a surgical room with lights shining down overhead; a close-up of dark snake scales; a moon against the sky with clouds. Middle row: a purple sky with two galaxies; a glowing title card that reads "tandem: a sapphic sci-fi romance". Bottom row: a photo of a blue circuit board; two silhouettes of women facing each other, close, against the sky; a round spaceship observation window. When Vic Kohler is pulled into a high-visibility new weapons program, she expects it to be a fairly standard assignment - not a neural link wiring her mind with Naev, a Vamath officer. The pair learns quickly that this new connection offers no privacy: no thoughts are left unshared, no feelings are left unhidden... not even the feelings that are growing between them. The institution must never find out, because the program’s exit procedure is safe for a human and lethal for a Vamath. Vic has a way out. Naev doesn’t. Falling in love was never part of the program. TANDEM is an ~87,000-word sapphic sci-fi romance - military SF tension meets speculative fiction interiority, for readers who want yearning with total transparency.Tropes: Space travel, Human/alien romance, Forbidden love, Mind link, Interstellar politics, Slow burn, Forced proximity, Sapphic yearning.Comp Titles. For readers who loved: This is How You Lose The Time War - Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone; Winter's Orbit - Everina Maxwell; The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin.
