So, what does it mean that Wrestling with Daddy is wide?
πΆ You can get it from all online retailers now (not just Amazon)
πΆ It's available on Kobo Plus
πΆ You can also request it via your library (supporting libraries is important!)
but it's not just them, it's the whole community building around them and how everyone roots for them because kink friends are the most important and- π₯Ή

Sorry not sorry, I'm still obsessed with the first book in my current book universe and how patient and warm and loving MΓ³nica is with Kara and how Kara grows so much and goes through such a journey of healing and they're just perfect for each other,

Be right back, i have to go keep screaming into the void so that the readers who want queer kinky authors find me and start binge reading my Plumas Universe and losing it over all the rep and the feels (and the spice) π
Am I annoying?
Probably.
Do I want to remind you of the sapphic book I wrote with a nonbinary character who uses they/it pronouns to help with your TransReadathon goals?
Yes.
(Pssst, there's high protocol 24/7 kinky dynamics, too)

π©· is all about polyam and queer chaos
π©· has a background on social psychology + sex therapy, which means lots of mental health and social justice themes sprinkled throughout

i'm just a queer nonbinary author begging people to sign up to my newsletter and get all the sneak peeks and benefits that come from it while supporting an author who:
π©· writes mixed queer book universes
π©· cares about following PRICK/RACK (both in and out of the bookish world)
but then she meets a Domme who actually gives a fuck about safety and comfort and consent, and she gets to experience kink the way she should always have π₯Ί
π I'm obviously talking about Play Pretend (also known as my baby)

I'm just saying PRICK/RACK guidelines hit different when one of the characters has been in a shitty, abusive relationship within the context of kink, to the point where she'd sworn off all D-types,
(Right now Regal Feather is available for preorder on Amazon, and it will be available on Ream for all tiers later this monthβunless my math is failing)
Don't mind me, i'm just emotional because Regal Feather (Ev's book) is the perfect ending to my Plumas Universe, and it's so close to being ready for publication, and people are already preordering it, and I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL EVERYONE HAS THEIR COPY π₯Ί
π©· has all their characters following PRICK/RACK guidelines because good BDSM/kink rep is really important and makes my heart v happy?
π©· cares (a lot) about politics and activism and isn't shy about sharing their thoughts?
π©· specialized in social psychology and sex therapy?
What do you mean you didn't realize i'm an author who:
π©· writes both achillean & sapphic romance in equal measure, with a bunch of trans characters and gender shenanigans throughout?
someone who has been burned by brats before and sworn off them but then they both figure out the best way to work through it all while still getting what they need and want out of their dynamic and π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί

I don't know if people do throwback Thursdays anymore, but Wrestling with Daddy deserves more love, and i'm SO grateful for it and so appreciative of it and the community it brought me and there's just something about writing a guarded brat with...

π: Temptation at Randy's by Emily Alter
Okay but we should really talk about the first book i wrote with a trans main character, who just happened to be T4T (so, two trans main characters), and how messy (and adorkable, as reviewers called them) they both are, and how sometimes they struggled to get through conversations,

AND since the TransReadathon starts this month, one of the main characters is a trans man and he's the best Dom and Sadist and i love him π³οΈββ§οΈ

I was just thinking that I mostly talk about "softer" kinks here BUT let this act as your periodic reminder that i have a book title that's all about CNC, primal play, and heavier impact play while still following PRICK/RACK guidelines π₯
What do you mean i'm getting the edited version of Ev's book next month?? π₯΅π₯΅
π₯ non-violent activism needs a radical flank and no human right or societal change has been achieved without one
π₯ marketing books while the world is burning is exhausting
π₯ AI is a technofascist tool and destroying absolutely everything idc
Sometimes i feel like a broken record but
π₯ reading is political and everything is political. saying "this isn't about politics, it's about morality" or any such phrasing is not a flex and only panders to the right. morality is also political
One thing about my books is that all my characters vote all the way to the left and, even though most of them aren't in the US, they all understand that liberals and leftists are not in-fighting because liberals are nowhere near the left.

Just hopping in to bring some attention to the fact that right now most of my backlist is wide and you can request it to your libraries (in digital format, still figuring out paperback distribution), and it would be very cool if i got more wide sales before the end of the month π©·π©·
