I write fiction of (and for) all sorts. Feminist. Mother. Creator. I like strong tea with milk & sugar, and movies where things explode. Repped by Bob Mecoy.

Doing #introductions again?
I'm an author. I write fiction of (and for) all sorts but particularly #steampunk, #fantasy, #SF (of the soft variety) and a touch of #horror.
I'm currently going through a difficult time and appreciate support in any form. Please excuse the periodic promo toots as I genuinely need the money.
I also am always interested in #filmmaking and #history.
Hey, folks. Did you know you can purchase my self-published novelettes and novellas directly from me? You get great speculative fiction, I get paid immediately. Everybody wins! (But especially you because stories.) [This is also the only place you can find my self-published material for Kindle because I don't sell through Amazon for... reasons.]

Anyway. My back hurts, even sitting down so I think I'm going to call it an early evening before I get all twirled up in an anxious knot about things.
Happy weekend, folks.

And then, the truly odd part. The head of the con-com at this local convention contacted me to let me know that she had received screenshots of a comment I'd made about attending the convention this summer in protest.
It's unclear whether someone reported it as some sort of threat or what. She did not seem hostile, but now I have to make certain my con-buddy system is prepped because it seems someone wants to stir shit up for me.
Secondly, I wrote some really good and very unexpected words on the revisions to SparkleGoat 2.
There's a set of minor characters who are basically a lesbian Red Riding Hood and the Wolf who show up briefly in this story, but will play a bigger role once I get to the second triptych of stories. But their arc is a little darker/deeper than that of Edward the Sparkly Emo Vampire who is sometimes also a Goat. Which is great, but their scene today made me a little weepy.
Evening, shop.
*sips vodka and cola*
Today has been weird.
First, it was grocery day, so I went to four different stores and lugged three loads of food in from the van and put it away. (After trips to stores 1&2, store 3, and store 4, respectively. First load and last load had a lot of beverages so much lifting of heavy things on multiple trips between the van and the kitchen.) My back is not happy. (I also cleaned up my office/living space this afternoon.)
Afternoon, shop.
*sips soda*
Yesterday was rough. Today has been slightly better but I'm still a little numb.
I did buy some new shirts today (knit camis mostly because all of mine were so stretched out they would no longer stay on my shoulders). And yesterday I ordered some new skirts because I need something other than my one pair of jeans and the falling apart, bleach-stained skirt I'd been wearing around the house most days.
Clothes that fit and don't look like trash is nice.

Some #hatchies from this morning. And a few new adults.
There's a new chapter of the #Steampunk #serial #novel on #Patreon today.

A new adult and five pearlcatcher #hatchies from today.
Hello, shop.
*sips soda*
Fell down the argumentative rabbit hole of representation in fiction (particularly in comic books) and boy, howdy, are some of these guys idiots. Mixed in with some actual bigots.
Working on some writing projects despite the distraction. Looking for some blurbs from authors for various things. (Humorous fantasy mini-trilogy, apocalyptic SF biopunk novelette, short story collection.) If you might be interested, feel free to ping me.
Happy Thursday, folks! 😄
Some Tundra #hatchies from this morning.
As a heads-up for folks. It looks like we're losing internet tomorrow. Other bills took priority and work has just been slow. Unfortunately, my cell-phone does not work with Mastodon. (I will still pop up on Twitter and will try to find weekend internet access via the laptop, but won't be around here much for a bit. [Unless the freelance job actually pays me instead of just promising he'll pay me.])

*sigh* Being poor sucks.
Just one #hatchies this morning. And a few new adults.
Hello, shop.
*sips nighttime tea*
It's been one of those weeks that is both long and didn't have enough days/time in it to get done what I needed to accomplish. Lot's of physical work though, which has left me absolutely wiped out. (Also playing a role in the lack of productivity.)
Hoping to get more done over the weekend.
Happy Friday, y'all. 😄
Some new adults from today.

A couple of new adults from today. Nice colors on these two (at opposite ends of the spectrum).
