Cover of my book, Song Of The Dryads cover! Tree woman holding what looks like a lute or something similar standing in a grassy field with some faded trees in the background and butterflies flying around her.

Transition can be hard for a number of reasons. So what about a tree-sition? Find out for yourself today! Don’t leaf yourself in the dark πŸƒ

Image shows a book cover: A muscular half dragon with brown skin holds two other people. Her hair is long, black and braided at the sides. There is a smirk on her lips, and her golden eyes are lidded. Patches of blue speckled with stars glint on her joints. Second character has black hair and lavender eyes, open shirt which shows her toned chest. She holds the jaw of the third, who has white hair with an undercut. Pink flowers glow up their neck. Title reads "They Who Brought the Storm by Vaela Denarr & Micah Iannandrea." A golden frame surrounds the image. A smoke/storm cloud emerges from the half dragon's mouth behind the silver title.

Hunted for their magic, Rhi seeks shelter with a reclusive dragon. They'll be her hound, and she will keep them safe. But their bid for security draws the eye of a dangerous former love with plans of her own.

Tresor Institute accepts only the worthy, and Ada Călinescu is anything but. Intractable, mannish, a child of convicted terrorists, she can at best hope to be overlooked. Yet somehow the Institute accepts her application for transfer. Her ticket to the polar town of Heilung, home of the Institute, arrives free of charge.

Her only chance to forge a brighter future.

Except Heilung welcomes Ada with news of a brutal murder. Militiamen stalk the town, keen to fill their arrest quotasβ€”and Ada knows she could make an easy scapegoat. At every turn the bloody conspiracy follows her, from the halls of Tresor to the arms of a stranger she yearns to make hers. What starts as a dalliance risks putting Ada at odds with the Bureau itself.

And then expulsion will be the least of her concerns.

Gonna try and post here more, so here's a new pinned!

I'm a writer of lesbian fiction, horror & SFF. My latest is IMAGO: A DYSTOPIAN GOTHIC. Follow Ada, a pariah under an authoritarian regime, to a remote polar town with bloody secrets beneath its ice.

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

RFK Jr. Vowed to Find the Environmental Causes of Autism. Then He Shut Down Research Trying to Do Just That. While touting a $50 million initiative to identify the causes of autism, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is helping lead an administration that is rolling back protections against pollution and toxic chemicals,...

As RFK Jr. promotes a new initiative to find the causes of autism, ProPublica found that he has taken aim at research trying to do just that.

β€œWe need to stop trusting the experts,” he said.

No man would ever take a book to a coffee shop and actually read it. When I take one it’s never a real one. Most often it’s an extra large hardback I’ve hollowed out and placed cuttings from power tool catalogues and 1980s football magazines inside.

Homeland Security Dept. Says It Hasn’t Kept Text Message Data Since April

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.

Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

Next year's WorldCon is in Los Angeles, and the theme appears to be Westward Expansion or possibly Manifest Destiny. The guests are referred to as Pioneers and the venue as The Frontier. This year the awards were swept by Indigenous writers. The choice is stunning in its ugliness.
