Hey all, bsky mods tagged the image in this post as adult content. It never would have occurred to me to tag a book with a sculpture on the cover as such. What do I do in the future? Edit/Censor the image? Don't include the image at all? Say F it and accept fewer people will see it?

When You Fell From Heaven by @badambulist.bsky.social has the #1 kind of character I relate to in a book:

A closeted trans girl who grows into her own as a woman with the help of deep female friendships.

But it also has the #2 kind of character I relate to: a Welsh person who hates the English

Finished my re-read of Wrath Goddess Sing, it's still my favorite work of trans fiction I've read so far. This book manages to rip my heart out so viciously not just in the big plot points but in so many small perfect character moments that really speak to my soul.

Thanks for the chat Bird!

My parody book sale posts are getting buried for reasons...I have thoughts why. Anyway, please preorder my trans self-discovery novella. I'd love you forever. Platonically. Ideally on Itch (most money for me) or Amazon (I want the banner)

*aggressively tapping the sign* this fucked up thing. AJW is one of my fav queer/trans authors right now. He writes about transness in this raw, authentic way that speaks to my soul.

I read so many queer books by queer authors that this was really hard to choose one! However, I think I’m going with Magica Riot by @magicariot.com ! It’s such a fun explosion of trans joy!

Again I have sooo many but I'll go with The Sunbearer Trials duology by Aiden Thomas.

It's an amazing diverse YA fantasy with trans, nonbinary, and queer characters.

Anything by this author is great, including Cemetery Boys. I'm excited for Espiritu late next year!
The cover for The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas. The covet art depicts the main character Teo, who has brown wavy hair and wears a red shirt with his bright green wings. Teo holds a glowing golden skull in one hand.

I'm Tess & I just finished the first draft of my neurospicy transgender romance meets magical girl fantasy novel TODAY, just in time for #Bookvember! I'll be honest: it's hard for me to share my "origin story". Much of the truth sounds like fiction. This is partially due to dissociative amnesia...
