Hello, lovely folks. So happy to have y'all here! My name is Addy, I'm a queer author, poet, & librarian.

My books:
🏴‍☠️ The Elysium Proposal - F/Enby Pirate Adventure Romantasy
💞 Where We Converge - M/M Contemporary Paranormal Romantasy set in modern day Chicago.

books2read.com/ap/xXJm2G/AE...

Background of a cracked wall with a vine growing up the sides. Light text reads, "All Kyle wants to do is propose to the love of her life. Unfortunately, it seems that toxic family, a hopeless voyage, & the search for the Well of Eternal Life all have different ideas for how Kyle should be spending her time." The Elysium Proposal "Because nothing ever goes as planned..."

Image of the Chicago cityscape in the distance, icy Lake Michigan in the forefront. Text over top reads: "Every so often, life gives us a shot at redemption. When Darius Adair is sent to help a stranger in the dead of night, he never expects that man to be a time traveler who threw himself back in order to stop a threat so severe, it endangered the world as they knew it. He also didn't expect to catch feelings for him."

Features the cover from Where We Converge by A.E. Bross.

"We're doing the studies to make the proof." -RFK Jr.

Someone needs to tell the man that that isn't how it works. At least it's not supposed to be.

Doing the studies to make the proof is not how science works. #science #autism #tiktokdoc #doctor

Charlie, the way I was hustling so I could get it to you on time 😂 I'm doing a listen-through and then sending it to you and not worrying for a bit. 😆

Aww, thank you. I think he's wonderful, and his poetry is AMAZING. 🥰🥰🥰

Addy Bross 🌈 they/xe @aebrossbooks.bsky.social · 59m

This PERFECTLY illustrates my reaction when I finished. 😆

These all look amazing. And wonderful reads for children to learn more about Palestine.

Both 😂 I do 2-3 rounds of edits/revisions before I send it to my editor.

With Bluesky's new impending guidelines looking a lot like censorship, there's a decent chance promoting my work here after October 15th will get me banned

#LGBTQWriteAThon Oct. 9: Pride flags!

🌈 Snow White WIP: Sapphic, trans, ace, and apothisexual.
🌈 Darius & Morgan 2: Achillean, pansexual, demisexual, biromantic.

(I only have an older aesthetic with some flags, but I figured I'd still share)

Collage of images. One woman has an oversized blazer and long hair, the other has tattoos and rings. The design offers an asexual pride flag, a transgender pride flag, and a sapphic pride flag.

Are you trans in the Magic the Gathering space? Are you creating, supporting, even just playing and having fun!?
