My Middle Child sent me this, and I liked the analogy so I'm re-sharing here:

#LGBTQIA #LGBT #2SLGBTQIA #Asexual #AceWeek
Asexual Attraction *Pie = sex/sexual attraction Allosexual "I want pie." Asexual "I don't want pie" ***I might eat it or enjoy it, though." Demisexual “I don't usually want pie, unless it's a pie I've had before or know a lot about." Fraysexual “I want pie when I first see it, but the longer I look at if, the less I actually want it. Eventually, I don't want it." Cupiosexual “I don't want pie, but I want to and enjoy eating it." Graysexual/ Gray-Asexual “I almost never want pie. There may only be one or two pies I ever want in my lifetime." Apothisexual “I don't want pie and I never want to eat it. I don't like it at all." Akoi/Litho sexual "I want pie sometimes, but I don't ever want to eat it."

24/24 chapters edited for cottagecore curse!! Yes I did two of them today BUT IT'S DONE (but not really). I would still appreciate more eyes on this pass and I need to print and purple-pen it again for line edits, but I'm excited!!

22/24 for cottagecore curse! Was able to sneak in some editing before work (it helps these are shorter chapters). Very action-packed chapter. Action gets messy for me sometimes (I can see it clearly in my head, but writing it is oof sometimes), but that's why we edit!!

21/24 for cottagecore curse editing! This is a chapter I tried really hard to give Ambrose a cool Akira slide moment on his pedal bike, but that's really hard to translate over text. It exists in my head, at least, and that's what matters.

November is Trans Awareness Month. But that title seems ill-fit to current politics, so I chose a better one for the Itch book bundle I'm hosting Nov 1-14.

Authors, if your MC is trans (yes including nonbinary!) and your book meets the criteria bellow, let me know and I'll DM you the sign up form!
Trans People Take on The World Itch Bundle Background: trans flag Text: Eligibility & Genre: At least one Main Character is trans (yes this includes nonbinary!) Plot-central trans (and LGBTQIA+) themes are welcome, but not required. Your MC combatting transphobia is welcome, but not required. MC's who are incidentally trans solving murders, defending their kingdom, curing cancer, fighting a zombie apocalypse etc are very welcome. (So SFF, Thriller/ Mystery/ Crime/ Historical/ Drama etc.) Romance and NSWF involving a trans MC is welcome. Categories: Adult Fiction, novellas and full length novels.

Learning to Bleed comes out March 18th and artist @scherville.com is so deeply talented I can hardly believe it!

This book is the 2nd in a trilogy that explores queerness and trauma through vampire lore, all against the backdrop of an impoverished rural community that has its own monsters 👀

Links⬇️
The cover of Learning to Bleed by Cat Rector, the sequel to Coal Gets In Your Veins. The cover is in the style of a classical painting, with a blush-grey background. In the foreground are two characters locked in a dipping embrace. Spencer, a pale man in a dark blue turtleneck sweater and jeans, with blonde bed-head hair, is holding up another character as she loses control and seems to be falling. His expression is lost and loving as he looks down at her. Laurel is leaning back in his arms, her long brown hair in waves over her back, her face up to the sky as her expression of uncontrolled rage stares upward. Her eyes are red and her mouth is wide open, showing her vampire fangs. A pool of blood soaks into the shoulder of Spencer’s sweater, coming from Laurel’s hand as it hangs above his shoulder. Laurel wears a tank top and red and black plaid. A red mist obscures their legs, making room for the title and author text. The cover artist is Scherville.

An ad for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. To the right is the cover featuring Seth, an angel with pink wings, white hair, and bright eyes leaping across the cover in profile while pink smears the blue background and eyes stare at him. To the right of it is the description for the work in question, which is: "Deadbeat Trent Cain can't catch a break. Life's been one disaster after another, rent's always due, and he's always late. Even his band doesn't want anything to do with him anymore and playing the guitar was the one joy he had left in life. When he takes a shortcut home through the park at 3AM, he walks right into another disaster: five angels waiting to greet him. Unfortunately, despite their proclamations of be not afraid, they mean him harm. His only hope is another angel wielding a lead pipe, but there’s something familiar about this one..." Below it is a list of what you'll find in the work. They read: decaying seraphs, a deadbeat guitarist, a coy angel with a lead pipe, an otherworld parallel to ours, and blood & viscera everywhere. On the right side below the cover there is more text and a URL where to preorder and the release date, Dec 6th. The URL IS: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid
