They’re just anxious beans who really like each other but aren’t exactly sure what to do about it so they dance and laugh and cuddle platonically (until it’s not so platonic)

Iverbourne, Chapter One
The eccentric, soul touching music had turned the area before him into religious ground. He wanted to kneel, and watch. To listen. How could anyone dance, or do anything but listen?

Chapter One of the Gay Pirates is up on the Patreon! I have been having so much fun back with my emotional support characters.
*glances at them covered in trauma and blood*
So much fun. But hey, the found family is kicking off, so there’s that.

SA Awareness Month
April is SA Awareness Month, and I wanted to feature characters who have survived and healed from their traumas. There are a few here that are incredibly dear to me, and a few more recommended to me by friends.
A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, and The Last Sun, are especially close to my heart.
Iverbourne, Reprised
Pain had never frightened Novak, a fleeting sensation that only proved the existence of life. So long as there was pain, there was life. He believed there was a saying which echoed this belief. As it was above, so it was below.

Yes, there are at least three other things I could, and should, be working on. However, the serotonin muses call for my Iverbourne loves, and so I have been deep within the reworked manuscript for a couple of days now.
But Noah, isn’t this being rereleased *next* year? Yes, and?
For those of you not familiar, my first book (and series) was a dark steampunk fantasy with queer fae, airship pirates, meddling gods, and a whole lot of found family. As it was my first series, it was incredibly unpolished and there is so much I wish I had done differently, or better. Looking back on it with years of experience under my belt, all I can do is shake my head and get to work.
And so, I’m doing just that. It will be condensed into two (possibly three) books, retitled, and reworked. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to VampStar soon, but for now I need my pirates.
This fella in particular is dear to my heart, his novella was the first gay book I wrote, and he goes through a world of love, hurt, and healing before finding peace.

Trans Chaos
It’s still Trans Rights Readathon time! Hitting you with books I haven’t recommended before, or not nearly enough. A hearty mix of trans characters and/or authors, with a wide range of genres. Hence, the chaos.
February Reads
My birthday was last month, so of course I treated myself to relistens of most of my favorites. I also read Sir Cameron, which I’ve had my eye on for awhile, and Thomas!
Vampires and knights and dragons, oh my! Not to mention werewolves, murder mysteries, and codependent heros with accidental child acquisition syndrome.
