Hey, it's World Book Day so time to mention again that I wrote a Stonewall Honor Book about a young witch going on a road trip to save her mom. It's got trolls, mermaids, ink-based magic and a brave kick-butt trans girl and I bet you (or any young fantasy readers you know) would love it!

Curious? And it has swords, mentions of food, a lot of warmth and - of course - bigger themes like war.

A sign up graphic for ARCs for When Yesterday Ends by S. Jean. To the left is the cover and below it is text that reads:
ARCS OPEN
sign up below!
forms.gle/ZERRYV55TfRBXc5t8 (There is a QR code to scan for the form below the link)
ARCS GO OUT MARCH 31st

On the right side is a short description and features within the work itself. The text reads:
Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life. 
At least, until Ambrose learns the town’s secret: a hidden fey lord cursed to eat human hearts. Ambrose is his next victim, unless he can break a fifty-year curse before summer ends.
The problem? He’s never broken a curse in his life and trying to solve this one might just kill him before the deadline...
FEATURING
+ a curse that isn’t what it seems
+ a slow burn β€œit’s complicated” relationship
+ those lost in the yesterdays already past
+ soft, but dangerous magic
+ memories needing a listening ear
+ obsession

I'm making really good progress on my Dragon WIP! (tentatively called Guardian of the Sky)
I have two more chapters to write for my first major revision, then I need to expand some things in other chapters. Overall, feeling great about this one!

Definitely! The mage may return if this WIP ends up becoming a novel, but I don't think it will!

#AwesomeCharacters

Oh, yes! In my current WIP, I wrote a whole chapter featuring a mage character before I decided that I didn't need another character in a novella. Their role could have been served by two other established character, so they got the axe!

Hey, I'm putting together a reading rec list for the Trans Rights Readathon (transrightsreadathon.carrd.co).

I'm looking for SFFH books written by trans and non-binary authors featuring a sapphic / wlw / f/f f/x relationship (including QPR) prominently (protag &/or one of the major POV characters)

I finished Draft 1 of a WIP last week: a fantasy novella where a sorcerer ACCIDENTALLY kidnaps a princess by cursing her to be imprisoned in his tower (he didn't know her identity until it was too late). Now he has to break the curse while adventurers try to rescue her.πŸ˜†

Not my project, but I'd like to boost the Trans Rights Readathon. I'd like to see higher participation among indie trans authors and readers this year, since there's increasing pressure to remove trans people from the public eye transrightsreadathon.carrd.co

I prefer writing in order for just getting it out, but I’ve started to embrace writing scenes out of order and inserting them later. Especially when it’s a scene I really want to get to but it would take a long time if I were to write chronologically!
