The only difference between Avestine and her brother was that she had learned her father’s lessons and passed his tests. The only difference was that she was the monster her father had made, and her brother was merely mad.

The last chapter cover illustration for Secrets of the Velvet Trap for 2024. I have to change the copyright today. It's been a solid year since I started a chapter and illustration each week.

I have a trans son who's living his best life because he had gender-affirming care and surgery. I wish for all kids and adults to have the love he has.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the over 350 trans people killed globally this year, and many more who have died by suicide.
