Hi, I'm a bilingual aroace author of queer fantasy centering platonic relationships! Below is an overview of my main series.

You can find general links as well as any ongoing events here:

Below are links directly to these three books though!
What happens if you try to structure a prose story like a long JRPG?

A semi-episodic series of novellas!

Unblock the road, visit a new city, struggle to cross an ocean, unravel your party's backstory, and find lore at the mysterious organization's secret base~

"all done with the marketing" I say, as though the goal hadn't been to prep for my later-this-month short story release, which is the only thing I didn't do anything for

TAX THEM ALL
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

Canada’s next extractive industry: How #AI is following the fossil fuel playbook.

Ottawa is betting on artificial intelligence. Just like #BigOil, Big Tech is building infrastructure that will be nearly impossible to dismantle.

Solidarity 💚
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I messed around more with Pagebound this morning, in case it'd help me make a home of it, but I still find its central conceit ("forums on every books!" "social first, stats seconds!") to be the opposite of what I want. I wish I could "mute all books by default" lol

2026 is the year. All those aromantic anthologies!!

I am childishly pleased that it's "26", too, as someone born on a June 26.

I just feel it. Good year, good year.
