I have so many more ideas for stories set in the world and characters, but it all depends on if the series finds more of its people or not. I've been open I've found the mixed reception of book one painful for what is such a personal and exposing series. But if you build it, I will come. <3

I finished Emberclaw, the end of @lrlam.bsky.social 's Dragon Scales duology and.. I'm grieving because I wanted it to be longer. I wanted more time with the characters. It's a clever, creative, loving, deeply human (even if one of the main characters isn't) romantic adventure heist. #booksky

Another peek at the evolution of Pantomime, in which the gen z assistant makes the millennial author do a meme!

Hi, can I interest you in some fantasy written by a nonbinary author? With trans and intersex characters? Not based on a franchise by a transphobic author!

Dragonfall, Emberclaw, and my rewritten debut, Pantomime, are out now, and I could very much use some help getting the word out about them. 💖

This is the bit of this video that really stood out to me: "There is a difference between hustling and haemorrhaging. Between building yourself a career and burning yourself alive on the altar of relevance. Protect the work, and the work will protect you."

Aliette, I'm not on socials as much ATM, but feel free to email--DM if you don't already have it! I did end up being ridiculous and rewriting mine, though, which affected my approach. Delighted you're getting a chance to relaunch!

Pantomime through the ages (feat Lily, Kit’s Golden Retriever, who cannot read, but if she could we think she’d enjoy Pantomime)
The new and improved edition of Pantomime is out now! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed returning to the world of Micah Grey🎪
