Cover of the book Name Her Holy on an eReader. Tropes called out are- Trans fem Valkyrie Found family A dead god rising from the grave, nbd Chronically ill chosen one Oath swearing as a lesbian love language Slowest of slowburns Cover art: Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

Thank you to my dear, sweet editor Kai for saving Of Bards last month from my repetitive words and that I don’t actually know where commas go half the time 💖

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Also have to say a happy Lesbian Day to the lesbians in gay dragon riders WIP. They're about to go on a romantic dragon ride.

A thing I just did: "you'll hear from us within 10 business days."

Me 10 minutes after doing the thing: it can't hurt to just check my inbox.

I like to think having lesbians on a dragon only enhances the story 😆

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Is it a proper lesbian fantasy romance with dragons if the lesbians don’t get to have a romantic flight on the back of a dragon?

Queer books? I write queer books! I write queer books about knights falling in love with the former servants of evil in a queernormative, D&D inspired setting & where monster slayers fall in love with vampires while trying to save the world.
