I want to thank everyone who's donated and/or shared the link so far. I've raised just a little over $900 so far, so we're about a 10th of the way to my full goal of $10k, which is *amazing* for one day of fundraising. Y'all are amazing. And if you haven't donated yet, please consider doing so.
Dorian takes after me, which makes me feel bad for that poor diva. LOL! I actually didn't even notice how similar we were until after the first book was out, and a friend of mine joked that he was my self-insert character, and I was like, "What?" and they were like, "Oh boy. Sit down, sweetie." LOL
My therapist finally convinced me to do one of these to help keep me housed while I work towards getting on disability. I HATE asking for help in any capacity, but I also recognize that I can't get well if I don't have a place to live. Any and all help is appreciated!

You're so sweet. *sobs* 🫂
Thank you so much! I'm not great at the whole Taking Care of Myself thing, so now that I *reallllllly* have to, I'm struggling to figure out how to do it. *lolsob*
I hope that you're having an amazing month so far!
🫂💙🫂💙
Thank you! An attempt is definitely being made. LOL!
I appreciate the hell out of that. Thank you so much! 🫂💙
Thank you!
Thank you! I love you, too. I'd like to have it up by the end of this week, but we'll see how I'm feeling.
Thank you. It's so hard to remember that. *sob* 💙
We're currently chatting via DMs, but I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you on here. LOL!
I'm trying as hard as I can to do that. I hope y'all are doing well! I feel so bad that I haven't been super chatty in the server, but I think about everyone a lot. *hugs*
Thank you! I'm gonna try!

A sad but necessary update. Life's been putting me through the wringer, and I'm fighting so hard to get through this, but it takes an immense toll on me. Love and hugs and gratitude to everyone who's been so amazing and supportive during this difficult time. (1/2)
Y'all are both so sweet. I'm gonna be over here in the corner crying. /positive
Also, this post reminds me that I need to put together a list of book recs with trans guys in them. I've been meaning to do one for the upcoming readathon.
Tell me about indie books with trans men in them
I would say that I’m sorry, but I’m not. LOL! I’m curious what else you’ve been reading, though. I’m always looking to add new books by trans authors to my TBR.
I hope we both feel better soon. 🫂
Thank you! I hope y’all are doing well! 🫂
Honestly, I assume that’s a huge part of it. Like, on top of my heart issues, the world is on fire, and that definitely doesn’t help matters any. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, too. 🫂
Thank you! 🫂
The level of exhaustion I’be been dealing with is awful. 😭 Being disabled sucks so bad sometimes.
LMAO!
Why do I not believe you? LMAO
I really did, didn’t I? 😬 But you know what they say: can’t make an omelette without breaking a few characters hearts and putting them through days of torture. I think that’s the phrase? 🤣
LOL! I can hear you sharpening your pitchfork from here.
This is one of the tamer reactions I’ve gotten when readers finish this book. LMAO
