It's international lesbians day.
Many of my books star lesbians. So it's a good day to read them.

You know that cursed spring that turns you into a girl from a certain anime everyone loves? Turns out the Ancient Romans had one too.
So of course I used that for a story. It's very bi in multiple directions. Give it a read.

#lesficfri and the theme is TEMPT. Riley may indeed be a little tempted ^^
(Who wouldn't be, after all)

Want to read a book by a plural system written specifically for plural systems, with the aim to not only depict the diversity of what we can be, but to also just be a damn good little science fiction story?

SYSTEMS' OUT! is that. Our debut novel just got e-pubbed:

And at last, we have reached the final chapter. Never let anyone tell you your story is too problematic to work, because I wrote THIS FUCKING THING and while I may be biased, I think it's pretty great :)
