Silly human. 😅
This week’s snippet fit the #lesficfri theme on Twitter, which was “wish.” 💙
I know this was a bit of a random one, but I hope you enjoyed it, anyway! 💙
I’m on a mission right now to hunt down all of the messages I missed when my physical and mental health were taking turns being awful. So, if the message can be found, I hopefully will find it and reply soon! 💙
I hope you have an awesome week, and for anyone already celebrating, happy holidays! 💙
Snippet, anyone? 💙
It’s been so long since I shared one, but I’m going to try to share them weekly from here on out (if my mental health will cooperate).
Also, for those of you who like to preorder, the Kindle link is up. 💙
The date it shows at the moment is just a placeholder. I’ll fix it as soon as I have the exact date—which will be very soon. 💙
Happy December! I hope you have an awesome month! 💙
Have you seen the cover for Goddess of the Sea yet? 💙
I shared it in the newsletter and on social media in August, but if you’re not following any of those, you might’ve missed it.
I’ve been taking care of sick kids lately and forgetting literally everything, but now that they’re feeling better (yay!), I’ll try to catch it all up.
So, if you missed it, you can see the (very blue-ish) cover below! 💙
Goddess of the Sea, sequel to Pirates of Aletharia, will be here this December. 💙
🏴☠️ lesbian pirates (obviously)
🏳️🌈 healing from trauma
🏴☠️ dragon-riding
🏳️🌈 ship cats getting much-deserved treats
🏴☠️ a certain navy admiral and her many secrets
🏳️🌈 sapphic sea goddess
Eeek, what do you think? 🫣
December! 💙
(And I’m absolutely panicking about it. 😅)
When my panic dies down a bit, I want to start sharing weekly(-ish) snippets, so stayed tuned for that.
Until then, stay well, and stay safe! 💙
Lots of love,
Britney
I shared this on social media a while ago, but I never shared it here. So, if you haven’t seen it yet, please, feast your eyes upon this beautiful Pirates of Aletharia fan-art. 💙💙💙💙
A very talented reader sent this to me, and obviously, I’m a puddle of happiness and will never recover.
Thank you so much to the artist, Helle Rahel Niguman! 💙💙💙💙
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Look at these lesbian pirates flirting—ahem, I mean sword-fighting! 🏴☠️🌈
And there’s one of Catherine, too! ⚔️💙
Isn’t it just wonderful? 🥹💙
Our Pride Month newsletter will (hopefully!) go out today or tomorrow, so until then, I hope you have an awesome day. 💙
Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I know it’s a bit scary in a lot of places right now—including an increasing number of U.S. states—but you deserve to celebrate who you are, in spite of them. 💙
Take care of yourself. Look out for our trans family. And know you’re loved. ❤️💛🧡💚💙💜
Happy Lesbian Visibility Day! 🏳️🌈
Representation is so important. I spent so long feeling alone, scared, wrong, and just…broken. It’s why I write what I write and why I’ll continue to write what I write. 🧡🤍💖
You deserve to exist, and you deserve to see yourself exist. It’s the people who tell you otherwise who are wrong. 🧡🤍💖
In celebration of Lesbian Visibility Week, Jae has put together a list of one hundred books with lesbian protagonists (including one of mine 🧡).
You can find them here: https://jae-fiction.com/books-with-lesbian-characters-for-lesbian-visibility-week/
I told myself that the possible downfall of Twitter had opened my eyes to the importance of sharing book stuff everywhere, rather than just one place, and yet, I continue to forget. 😅
I’m coming out of my latest migraine now and trying to find all the places I let fall behind this time. One of them is definitely the newsletter, but also, here. So, I’ll try to fix that this weekend! 💙
Recently, I shared Em’s (less-than-accurate) adorable beasties with you. This time, I thought I’d introduce you to the chosen leaders of the Drakon people. 💚🐉💚
At the moment, they have a couple of scenes in Book 2, but whether those scenes will survive edits or not is anyone’s guess. (I’m an overwriter. So, editing involves a lot of cutting for me.)
But if nothing else, it was fun! 💚
P.S. – Emilia’s mother is easy to spot because she’s the one with the angry eyebrows. 😅
(These were made with this picrew maker. 💙)
Pirates of Aletharia has officially passed the 900 rating and review mark on Amazon! 💙 And we seem to be approaching 200 on Audible? 💙 I (obviously) never expected this, and I’m so grateful. 💙
Thank you for giving my snarky lesbian pirates a chance! 💙
Gosh. How wonderful is this?! 🥹💙
Pirates of Aletharia was voted 2022 Book of the Year in the Fantasy category on I Heart SapphFic. 💙💙💙💙
Thank you to everyone who voted! 💙 You’re amazing, and I’m so grateful to have been able to share the first part of Em and Maria’s story with you. 💙
And thanks to I Heart SapphFic for the amazing work they do for the sapphic book community. 💙
Congratulations to the other winners! 💙
You can see them all here: https://iheartsapphfic.com/2023/02/23/the-best-sapphic-books-of-2022/.
Obviously, Aletharian dragons are massive and terrifying with broken scale, scars, and big teeth, but in Em’s head, they’re the adorable beasties who listen to her stories when they’re not barbecuing people.
I put her in charge of the graphic, so here we are.
Meet (some of) the dragons of Aletharia. 🏴☠️🌈
If you’re at the Golden Crown Literary Society Conference this year, here’s where you can find me! 💙 Wednesday: 2:45 PM: I’m a panelist for Rethinking Power: World-building without Patriarchy. 4:00 PM: I’ll be reading from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) for the Author Spotlight. 5:15 PM: I’ll be signing […]
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 […]
