It seems almost impossible to believe, but today’s the day: One World, the last book of the Iamos Trilogy, is available now! It’s been a long (looong) time coming, but I’m so excited that fans of the series will finally be able to read the conclusion—and that new fans will now be able to binge read from start to finish!

National Coming Out Day 2019: An Announcement
This post is a bit personal, and is probably the sort of thing I would ordinarily share on my Dreamwidth rather than here, but since I’ve been so open about my identity on my social media profiles and on this website for so long, I wanted to share it here so that everyone would see it.

A little about Scylla
So, Different Worlds has been out for a few days and now seems like a good time to talk about something that isn’t really a spoiler but didn’t really make sense to post about without the book being available for people to look at and understand what the heck I’m talking about, and that’s Scylla. It’s been in the works since the get-go that Scylla is aro-ace, but it wasn’t something…

#OwnYourOwn: For all the asexual writers
Hey, you. Yes, you. Young ace, dreaming of becoming a writer. You have so many stories you want to tell—stories about your world, your vision, your experiences. I know it can be hard sometimes. I know it feels like people don’t want to listen to what you have to say. But you know what? I do. And I can guarantee you that there are so many other people out there who…
