A Demon to Save Me is available now at all major retailers!

When life as a queer dhampir feels impossible, summoning a demon won't fix anything... right?

A queer urban sci-fantasy novel and series beginner that could stand alone, but Gabby doesn't do well alone.

Matt is an excellent person who makes even more excellent book trailers. Help him out if you can.

Matt Mason - One Chaotic Author @chaoticauthor.online · 2d

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends.

Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation.

Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year.

I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

Support Matt Mason ❤️

#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.

this post was brought to you by someone who's just bought new LIGHT day cream, which, as it turns out, is several shades too dark despite it swearing it's for light skin tones

Sarina Langer @sarinalangerauthor.bsky.social · 25m

Amidst all the shittery in the world right now, here's an incredibly boring problem to have:

why is it so bloody difficult to find the right skin care routine why is to bloody hard to find the right shade of makeup
why are they all so damn different. I'm 35 and still don't know what I'm doing 😑

I'm glad you're feeling a little better! Migraines can be brutal. I've had a few, and my Mum used to get terrible ones. Can you take it easy over the weekend?

You know the voice in the back of your head that says no one wants to read your book?

Drown it.
Burn it with fire.
Get a bat and start swinging.

Don't let it exist and lie to you. Destroy it and keep writing.

Keep. Writing.

For the 90s story, Carrie is demisexual, although she has no idea that's a thing, and her love interest and reluctant partner in crime, Tracy, is a lesbian. Also, Carrie's friend who goes missing, Christine, is asexual.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Smashed together a moodboard for the MC, who's biromantic ace. :D TNS is generally ace-friendly, with some notable examples:
- The MC (bi/ace)
- The LI (bi/demiromantic)
- A himbo dragon who's demi and their QPR
- A gay trans (bee) man who might be with the dragon (not aspec but)

Moodboard of nine images:
Top left: A figure plays the violin in a dark room.
Top center: A dragon spreads its wings against the full moon in a blue/red sky.
- Top right: A figure stands in a dark room; their head is on fire.
- Center left: The ace flag.
- Center: Brightgoat Picrew image of a pale-skinned, ginger-haired man with bright, orange eyes. He stands, slightly bewildered, against a forest background, with one hand up, index finger crooked. Roses grow on either side of him. He's wearing a button-down shirt under a gray waistcoat, a red cloak, and a crystal on a chain around his neck.
- Center right: The biromantic flag. (A heart in the bisexual flag colors overlaid on a pastel version of the bi flag.)
- Bottom left: The sun rises over mountains; the entire picture is bright yellow/orange.
- Bottom center: A figure in a loose-fitting shirt and scarf stand with their back to the viewer and one hand at the back of their neck. A halo circles their head.
- Bottom right: A Bantam rooster stands on a fence, its beak open as it crows.

Ah, well, I much prefer the country anyway! It's much quieter and less people-y there.
