Last week’s #lesficfri theme was “attraction.” So, I shared this line from Book 1. 💙
I hope you’re having a wonderful week. 💙
And for any audiobook readers who missed the announcement for the Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) audiobook, you can find that here. 💙
We have a date! 💙💙💙

This week, we have a Helen snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2)—for the #lesficfri theme: “question.” 💙
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 💙
For Pirates week of the IHS Reading Challenge, I was interviewed on I Heart SapphFic about Pirates of Aletharia, my writing process, and reading habits. 💙
If you’d like to read it, you can find it at the link below. 💙
Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, and Dragons: Book 2) has reached its second little milestone: two hundred reviews and ratings on Amazon. 💙
Thank you so much for
reviewing—and for sharing in Em and Maria’s journey. 💙💙💙💙
Having a girlfriend with dragons is fun. Usually. 😅
Also, this last week was Pirates week on I Heart SapphFic, and Pirates of Aletharia (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 1) was one of the featured books! 💙🏴☠️💙
You can find a whole list of sapphic pirate books, along with wartime romances, here:
I think I’ll be back with a couple of updates this week, but until then, I hope you have the best week possible. 💙
Em has five dragons. Maria has…Em. 🐉
This snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) fit the #lesficfri theme: “finger.”
This week, I also want to thank everyone who voted for Pirates of Aletharia in the recent I Heart SapphFic poll! It was voted first in best sapphic dragon books. 💚💚💚💚💚
Congratulations also to J.C. Rycroft and Emily Noon! 💚
You can see all three books here:
I hope you’re having a wonderful week. 💚
For those who’ve finished Goddess of the Sea already, I’m dying to know…which dragon is your favorite? 💙
(So far.)
The theme for this last week’s #lesficfri was “sorry,” and this scene from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) was the one that came to mind. So, here’s our captain refusing to let Em apologize for her PTSD.
Try not to feel shame over your mental health this week. It’s been a hard one. 💙
Release month for Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) has ended, and in the midst of migraines, anxiety, and a kid’s ear infection, I have thoroughly failed promote it. (Not that I’ve ever been good at promoting anything. 😅)
But my author copies came in, and I wanted to share them with you! 💙
It’s always magical to see the words that occupied my heart and mind for so long printed on the pages of a book—to hold them and touch them. 💙
It can be hard to focus on the magic, though, when I’m exhausted and my head’s all full of fear and doubt. But actually…that’s when it’s most important. Right? 💙
Also, my thank you post for Goddess of the Sea reminded me that it’s been a while since I did one for Book 1, and since it recently passed 1,300 reviews & ratings on Amazon, it felt like a good time for a new one. 💙
So, thank you for every review you’ve left on Amazon, Audible, and everywhere else. You’re amazing, and I’m eternally grateful for you all. 💙
P.S. – From the time I wrote this to the time I went to share it, the world already feels like a darker place. To all of you who are here in the U.S., I’m sending so much love today. I wish I had words, but all I can feel is fear right now. I hope you’re all right—as much as you can be, anyway. 💙

On the last day of Disability Pride Month, I’m here to remind you, as a fantasy author with multiple disabilities, the idea that disabled people can’t be in fantasy is silly (and harmful). Both main characters of my Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons series have disabilities, as do some of their friends, parents, and mentors, and […]
You may have noticed that I’ve been quiet for a few months. If you follow me on social media, you know there’s a reason for that. The most I feel comfortable saying is that some awful things happened in my personal life this year that triggered PTSD from past abuse and multiple suicidal episodes. And […]
April is Autism Acceptance Month, which means it’s time (almost past time) for my annual reminder that autistic people come in all shapes and sizes—including that of a dragon-riding surgeon. 🖤🐉🖤 Emilia Drakon, the protagonist of my Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons series, is autistic (like me), and though she deals with communication and sensory obstacles […]
Every year, I try to say a little about why lesbian visibility is so important to me—as a lesbian and as a lesbian author. I’m not exactly in the state of mind that I like to be in when I talk about these things, but I’m going to try, anyway. 🧡 I spent much of […]
