Hi to all the new followers!
I'm a queer author with two novels out: PROUD PINK SKY is set in the world's first gay state, while THE GIDDY DEATH is all about polyamory and nonbinary life.
I also love make up! The more colour the better!

It was a fantastic reading at Berlin's Z-Bar last night! My friend Orla and I were performing a new short story of mine, a comedy horror that went down really well with the audience.
Despite being more introverted in my day-to-day life, I absolutely love being on stage. What a great evening!

Having a colourful day today! Green eyeshadow and sweater, pink trousers, an orange jacket, and a scarf that the shopkeeper helpfully informed me is “supposed to be for women”. Still, it fits my neck perfectly!
Hope everyone’s enjoying a bright and beautiful autumn so far!

Video game RPGs have given me a vastly unrealistic impression of how many shopkeepers are fine with me running into their back rooms to rifle through their stuff.

It's the time of year when the veils between worlds grows thin. When we honour our dead and all they mean to us.
My friend RM Vaughan died five years ago, around now. No one knows exactly when.
He was a great writer, and (unknown to him) a role model. He'd never believe that.
I miss you, Richard.

I haven't shared this in a good while and it's something I'm really proud of!
The trailer to my novel PROUD PINK SKY shows how the world's first gay state came about. It uses research from my PhD, my love of history, and pure imagination.
Please share if you can! 🌈

Since coming out as nonbinary I’ve grown more demisexual. My attractions are to those I trust.
Having always been open with my sexuality, it’s a lot to come to terms with. It’s a shift in my identity. In how I see myself.
We’re always changing. But sometimes change can be a tough thing to accept 💞
