If you're tired and need a hug today, I'd like to offer this story of mine. It's about a haunted house so lonely that it promises it'll behave if anyone will just live in it.

This baby flamingo is so adorable… 🥰

Smut isn't introducing anything I'm not periodically giggling about through the day because I thought a billboard said something it didn't.

This D-Script isn't just written for authors, but also to help people in their day to day lives. It's an in depth plunge into all things consent, including how to keep it spicy.

I can only give a bit, but it is yours.

I have donated. I hope it helps.

The Bone Clock: Book 3 in the Charbonneau Saga, by Elle L'Aigetlier, edited by L.A. Guettler. Book cover in front of a fire background. The cover is an illustration of an old fashioned clock made of bones and old fashioned medical tools. The face has strange symbols and Roman numerals that go counterclockwise. Around the clock are yellow roses. Words to the right say: The story is missing... the horror is not. The Bone Clock like nothing you've read before. Exclusively on itch.

Who was Bernard Charbonneau, and why does his shadow fall so heavily on the village of Le Fleaucasse?

The Bone Clock is a French Gothic horror tale that has everything except the story.

AI rip-offs targeting sapphic books

A new scam is threatening the sapphic book community: Scammers are creating rip-offs of existing books with the help of AI.

I have written a blog post explaining how to recognize red flags, a list of suspicious pseudonyms, and what we can do to help.
