I have three more events this fall but only one has a preorder form, because it is the last of the year, book specific, and I want to be sure you get to purchase the books you want!

beventi.co/orderform/3m...

Who's coming? Who's preordered already?

What an amazing weekend at Gaylaxicon @ncgaylaxians. So many awesome people, awesome authors and readers, awesome crafters and makers of all kinds, and what fun panels. The most engaged (and engaging) crowds I've had at an event, and just the kindest people full of queer joy.

Today marks the first day of the return of Gaylaxicon to the Twin Cities! @ncgaylaxians.bsky.social

Besides some great queer authors, there promises to be great vendors, an awesome game room, fantastic programming and just a grand ol' time.

Who's coming?! I have copies of Zel on hand!

I shared how a sorcerer in a tower in the woods says I love you, but how about a gentleman k!ller who is sure to win you (and a certain young doctor) over with his special brand of charm?

There are so many cooler ways to say "I love you" than those exact words. Have you been following how the GriMM characters do it?
