This is my book, The Magician and the Mechanical Doll, a humorous science fantasy adventure. It might appeal to you if you enjoy Terry Pratchett's books.

This book is out in the world, ready to be devoured. But it lacks reviews.

This LGBTQA+ pride month, I'd like to remind you that our stories comprise more than just romance.

I have 2 books out with transgender and queer main characters. Both are available from my sh0p. 🔗 In my bi0.

Looking for a PRIDE Month book where the romance is more of a side plot?

Manifestation of Prophecy features a prophecy about fated lovers separated by the boundaries of reality. It's about being handed a legacy wrought with pain, but finding it in yourself to make the right choices.

Hi.
I'm the author of stories with magic, (not scary) science, diverse characters, & well-balanced humor.

My books provide an escape & cross genre boundaries, often breaking genre conventions. They take readers on twisting, emotional journeys thru fantastical worlds.

When I set out to write my Manifestations Series, I wanted to find a balance between my old work (which was dramatic, moody, and full of substance) and my newer work (which is lighter, funnier, and somewhat shallower).

I feel I found that balance in book 1, Manifestation of Prophecy.

Jarith is destined to meet zir love. Ze's also destined to kill her mother, but you win some, you lose some.

Though ze isn't keen on this prophecy, when a powerful being from another reality threatens zir life, ze must embrace zir fate & protect the future.

Jarith is destined to be with zir love. Sure, ze is also destined to murder her mother, but you win some & you lose some.

When a powerful being from another reality threatens zir life, ze must face zir fate head on or find some way out.

Only $0.99!

Find the kitty.

(He was cold, so I wrapped him in a blanket. Instead of getting upset, he snuggled into it.)

We decided to add a tile inlay in front of the island in the kitchen. I think it'll be precious.

In my Tales of a Vernian Youth series, magicians must be knowledgeable about how Nature works to perform magic. That means lots of math and science.

Magic studies are broken into 2 disciplines, and it is taboo to study across disciplines. Octavian, one of the MCs, went against this taboo.

I'm Gaius (pronounced "guy-us"; pronouns they/them)

I'm working on the 7th short in my Tales of a Vernian Youth series, a science fantasy adventure with humor & a diverse cast.

Writing is not happening this week, & I'm feeling daunted by writing a tour of a pirate airship.
