The Audacity series follows speed-junkie rocket racer May and her life partner Xan, good-natured alien with a horrific secret, across the universe (and outside it) as they try to avoid that indefatigable force of nature, Chaos itself.

And happy winter solstice from May and Xan 🧡

Happy winter solstice to my friends who celebrate! May you have plenty of time to do nothing at all this upcoming week.

The 2004 Christmas Carol Musical with Kelsey Grammar feels like a special dream-sequence musical episode of Frasier that's also somehow a 30 Rock/Seinfeld crossover and it's bad but like in a really good way.

The actual scariest thing about this is that I wasn't THAT surprised that some billions thought they could buy and move the sun.
Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Wait, shit, if that isn't MY circus or my monkeys, and it's not YOUR circus or you monkeys, whose circus and monkeys is it? We've got to find them, stat.

I actually have a tab-size limit instead of a count. This is the smallest I'll let my tabs get. At this point, if I need to open a new tab, I must close an old one. Method. System. Success!

Which part of the quid is the front?! I always thought the tentacles were, but they're kinda like its legs, right? And they move in both directions pretty equally. Do squids have fronts or am I asking a nonsense question?!

Beloved friends, I don't know half of you as well I should like etc., etc. so let's have a #AuthorInterview thread! Answer whatever questions suit your fancy.

Ohhh here's a fun one. Spoilers for The Audacity 4 and 5 below...

Porgord scratches can't kill an immortal outright, but they never heal and slowly begin to rot, leaving an immortal stuck in a corpse until they learn to throw their consciousness which usually takes a few thousand years. #WIPSnips

Any of the A'Viltrian species (Rheans, Tuhntians, etc.) are aware of a kind of pulsing, confusing conglomeration of everything called the -Ness when they sleep. Some can make some sense of it with great effort, most just ignore it!
#AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Does your character dream?

Do dreams play a role in the story? Do they tell us about the character? Foreshadow the future? Are the literally prophetic?

Does your character enjoy their dreams or dread them?

When the nice boomer you're friends with uses AI art and Chat GPT and you have to very gently explain to them why it causes you so much psychic damage 🥲

I just love making goofy little guys and destroying them just to see how long their goofiness holds out. What a delightful way to spend an evening.

Had a discussion with an older queer friend of mine about how important campiness is for a healthy mindset in trying times. Things like Rocky Horror actually saved people lives by lifting their spirits. Camp, play, humor, and fun are vital to survival!

Is this how you do the TikToks? Would the kids over there like this sorta thing?

Anyone I know have a podcast for readers? I just had an inspiration for a radio ad for my audiobooks and now I need places to run it!
December 18, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Repeat after me: Today I give myself full permission to do the scary things that bring me great delight!

In my case, writing really indulgent, weird stuff.

Is an mp3 audiobook that’s just one long file accessible for readers? I want to be able to sell my audiobook on Itch, but Im not sure a if multi-hour mp3 is a good idea 😅

Maybe fear underlies all the bad behavior. Greed stems from fear of lack, power grabs from fear of irrelevance, isolation from fear of rejection. Life would be really different without fear.
10. If you could summarize all humankind problems in a single one, what would it be?

A list of little changes you can make to do a little good:
Spotify -> Tidal
Chrome browser -> Vivaldi
Amazon (books) -> local bookseller

For #WIPSnips today, a bit of certified May lore! She is, indeed a Capricorn. She has a lot of Aries and Gemini in her chart, though. She was born in January. July was her great, great, grandfather's chosen last name (Jack July) and her father named her May June because he thought it would be funny.

Just 11 more chapters to edit and The Audacity 3 audiobook will be complete which means once I edit the short story the OMNIBUS audiobook will be complete and you can listen to me read the whole damn thing 🥰
