I have no idea why that is, and Amazon won't tell me. DM me.

A freshman boy was giggling at one of my reproductive models, and my senior TA very roughly tugged the (detachable) testes off it because she thought his poking it meant he was trying to see the cross-section. I think this boy almost fainted.

I can't write age gaps because a friend only 7 years younger than me asked what dial-up is, and when I looked down, my foot was in a 6ft-deep pit. If it had been romantic, I think I would have just laid down and asked them to start shoveling dirt on me.

I'm too bisexual to write only sapphic or only achillean romance. I'm sorry. 90% of my project creating process is just

A: Bisexual who's a complete mess...
Male B and Female C: They absolutely know and show no mercy.

As it turns out, testosterone is, in fact, no match for my ABCC11 gene variant. Neither sweatier nor stinkier yet, but I can lift double what I used to and hit lower notes ✌🏼

Itch.io exploded, so... here we are...

Notice: I'll be removing House Monstra Hotline from Itch.io at the end of next week. If you've already purchased it, you can still download it until then. It will remain available through Amazon, Kobo, and Smashwords. Until Itch.io provides more guidance for authors and game devs, I will not be hosting any other works on the platform. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Heyyyy~ I might have disappeared forever because of all the things I've been doing, but also, I have an agent now and a new website. Soooo... uh... Forgive me?

How I Did Not So Much Get an Agent As I Did Wander Vaguely in Her General Direction Until We Collided

I think I’ve probably spent a month at this point sitting on this (sorry), and I feel I should preface it with admitting that I have had a very weird relationship with the publishing industry…

A post of three slides. Slide 1: A neon sign on a dark brick wall. The sign says “I’d Kill for You” in lilac and red. Text is curved around the top and says "R. A. D. Presents" in white neon font.

Praise thread: Vice + Virtue by @thornyfilth.bsky.social is a rough & rugged yarn w/a rustic, romantic heart. Like a peaty whisky, it’s a STRONG flavor, not for all. But if you like tales of men (trans & cis) willing to kill, die, & fuck nasty for & with one another, it’s delicious. Minor spoilers:🧵

It has taken 11 years and two pregnancies of waiting, but I finally have testosterone 😎

I'll make an official post later, but I'll be extending my $.99 discount on all my LGBTQ books for the Diverse Pride Readathon. All my books feature 100% BIPOC casts, and my series has disability rep in every book.

In the interest of keeping my anonymity, I've elected to seek someone else to narrate Silver Shores. Auditions are up on ACX, so if you're interested in MM romance and you don't mind having me coach you through the pronunciation of some fantasy terms, then I'm happy to hear you.

There's something about writing tragic poly that just hits different. He can't have either of them, and he's watching them be happy together from afar.
