The big 50 looms! Saturday.

And the book of my writing path... is released into the wild.
1st March is next week!

Wolf's Path is a collection of my stories from the start of my writing path until now. I turn 50 this year.

The collection is unapologetically queer & trans & joyful and angry & painful.

I would like people to click past the likes and actually read the thread.
Speaking from and as a fiction editor...
I am ruminating on my discord:

I have been putting a lot of stories on my Kofi - and it's weird, speaking now from a fiction editor, that short fiction is hard to sell in the bigger platforms.

In a frankly ludicrous triumph of hope and optimism over common sense and experience, I have just sent an unsolicited copy of one my books to someone whom I would *really* like to see it.

If the entirety of Bluesky could please cross their fingers and toes, it would be appreciated.

She had never thought of romantic love before Darren had found her; love in Bellatrim was only allowed to happen to people with a fortune and landed state, and the poor got along as they could, hoping for affection and marrying anyone willing.

breaking news! PRODIGAL TIGER is "Read Now" on NetGalley currently, which means that you can request it without needing approval! I'm not sure how long the window is open, but if you wanted to dive into a world of monsters and magic, This Is Your Moment. I hope you enjoy Caroline's shenanigans!
