I promise y’all, this book is worth the wait. I’ve just had some medical issues over the last month and a half that have taken precedence over formatting and finalizing the book, but it’s coming soon!

The Dahlia and the Wizard was originally supposed to release next week on the 18th, but due to some health issues, I've had to push that release date out a little further.

NEW RELEASE DATE:
January 27th, 2027

I’m back! And while I have some sad news (book three of the OatL series is coming out in January instead of this month), I have some good news, too! I might be opening up a few ARC slots, so watch for an announcement on that next week!

Hargrave writes from the heart... and this novella made me REALLY excited for Book Three in this series!

I’m hopeful that new voices will be on the rise, especially because fascism always loses. But it sucks to see it happen to creators who put so much care into the games they put out.

I was talking to another friend of mine about that the other day. This purchase is going to leave a lot of great franchises in the dust and rob us of some great stories about diverse characters. 😭

Dragon Age: Inquisition. I had to start over from scratch, and I’d only gotten about halfway before I had to stop last time I played. I’ve moved onto Veilguard, which has such a different vibe, but it’s delightful.

I’m finally emerging from my burnout, and I beat a video game I first started two years ago.

There’s so much of him! 😭😭😭

I had such a blast with the new chapters. And necessary shredding aside, I enjoyed reading the OG draft, too. I can’t wait to see the next draft. *excited wiggling in my chair*

It’s release day for Leo Rising, a brand-new OatL universe novella. It’s hard being a rising star, especially when your partners are bitter exes. Can Laith accept his place on top at the brothel? And can Dorian and Sabri let go of the animosity between them for the sake of the man they both love?

Be loud. Complain. Silence or blackout isn't an answer to censorship. Stay quiet when they want to mute you ? That's called compliance.
Support NSFW artists, share their voices, add yours to theirs. Draw, share, be more active than ever.

I know time's hard but that's when we need to shout the most.

Yes, omg! Xe’s actually my second character to have a gender awakening in the series, the first one being a trans woman that I wasn’t expecting to write, and both of their arcs are really important to me because they show different experiences of being gender nonconforming and becoming yourself.

I’m a masc author writing science fiction, and one of my MCs is a masc trans man. The other starts the series off as a femme cis man and starts identifying as genderqueer enby (which is kind of a spoiler for the third book, but oh well LOL). But there’s loads of other masc characters as well.

I'm so freaking excited to host this panel. Less than a month before I get to hang out with some amazing authors to talk about a topic near and dear to our hearts: queer desire, intimacy, and expressions of love in fiction. Grab your tickets for the virtual con today!

If you love Laith, want more Sabri, long to see a healthier Dorian, missed Kenny, and want to see a little bit of Travis lore drop, you should go preorder it! It's short and fun and sexy!
