" Manon is the kind of friend who sees everything and stays anyway. Sharp, sensual, and quietly devastating, this is a book about power, erasure, and the kind of intimacy that burns long after the last page." - Reviewer

My World of Green and Black novella "The Strongest in the Forest" is now available for digital download as PDF, EPUB, or MOBI files. Visit this page for links to the files, as well as other World of Black and Green content.
I recently made a storybook all on my own (besides my cousin designing the cover art and my partner @magicalgrrrl helping to put all the pages together into an ebook).

“Lost Kitten Finds a Way” is an illustrated book, about my experiences with homelessness and DV trauma, from the perspective of a cat (so it’s more palatable to a wider audience). It’s currently only available in ebook, on my Ko-Fi and Patreon. Hopefully sooner than later I’ll be in a position to order physical copies to send out.
For now, though, I’m just trying to meet my family’s basic needs (shelter, food, and meds) so I’d appreciate if anyone decides to get the book or simply buy me a coffee (on Ko-Fi). My partner talks more about our current situation on her page, too

I'm reading @juergen_hubert 's books, starting with "Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles". His translation of German folklore to English, complete with commentary and footnotes, is utterly fabulous.
As someone who's read a lot of folklore books, across multiple cultures, I highly recommend "Sunken Castles" for writers and lovers of folklore alike. Solid research, notes on where the story is set in modern geography, great context, witty asides all make for a very engaging, inspiring read. The stories come to life from his carefully light, detailed approach.
This book is helping me create myths and folktales for my own fictional world. I'm having a blast reading it!

I quite enjoy doing pixel art animations, so here I join two loves, the pixels and my book, A Gun Is the Thing with Feathers, which the first episode came out at the end of last month.
It is a pre-solarpunk, beautiful dystopia with an Ace female lead and plenty more LGBTQIA+ POC peeps throughout.
It is free digitally and available in handmade chapbooks, zine style, via my Ko-fi. Links in bio. It is not on A-zon cause fuck them.
My 1st book is now available in digital [pdf] format! Patreon link:

Some of his later oeuvres were like this. Immense bound, self-published books with alternating newspaper clippings from the US press of the time, with typewritten opinion essays and commentary mixed in. Kind of like blogging before blogging existed. I don't know who was reading them but mixed in were his letters to Kennedy era political figures so I don't think he was shy about it.
The print editions of: “You are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done” are now available via independent retailers!
Because eBooks are great and all, but there’s just nothing like that “new book smell.”

"Giust" is almost done—the last (and most terribly important) fit appears tomorrow:
City of RosesCity of RosesIn which an unexpected duel is fought, architecture is critiqued, a traitor is punished, and a singer exiled.

Beginning on Monday: the 9th novelette, "Giust"! —Jo is knighted, as promised, and Ysabel asks a question.
#PennedPossibilities 629 — How did you break into publishing? (If you’re already published, of course.)
If you count being #selfpublished the I’ll give a story I shared a couple times over the years. I had gotten a new job at a mortgage company and had the most boring new hire training class. A couple other people there started seeing who could come up with the raunchiest, sexiest, NSFW story before training ended. We all read each other’s works. I liked mine enough that I decided to publish
We’re excited! My book client is delighted. We confirmed the content, illustrations, and the new book cover. We hope for an April 1st release date.
