One of my early beta readers complained that I had a nonbinary vampire character (even though I write explicitly queer books) because it wasn't realistic for 1948. 1/3

Went to London a couple of weeks ago to throw my mum in the river (it's what she would've wanted), and visited The Prospect of Whitby, a pub on the Thames that is more than twice as old as the U.S.

It's where I set the opening scene of Two Souls & a Pocket Watch, a MM Victorian vampire romance.

There's also a bi why choose storyline throughout the series, and I love these characters so much 😍

Just pootling around Kickstarter, as you do, when I found this.

So, obviously I threw money at it.

How could I not?

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I went on a school trip to the British Museum when I was a kid, and I asked my history teacher why there was so much Egyptian stuff there, and why it wasn't in Egypt, and that was the day I learned what empire and paternalism meant.
Hey girl. I heard you liked thick columns and other people's property.

Are you paranoid about 5G melting your genitals?

Is washing your undies too gay for you?

Are you an inveterate skank who thinks real men don't wash their arses?

Have I got the Kickstarter for you.

P.S. I should be surprised that this is 800% funded, but I have SEEN men on the internet 😭💀

See also: "I'm all for diversity, but..."
I cannot emphasize how important it is to leave reviews for marginalized authors.

Fash and conservatives OFTEN leave negative reviews just to purposefully tank a book and give "validity" to their argument that "diverse books are badly written."

Feeling appreciated today. I have a few free books in my shop, and today, I got another tip and a note of thanks. I know not everyone is in a position to do this, and I appreciate all my readers, but I cannot deny it gave me the warm & fuzzies.
