I’m so excited to share that Rainbow Crate is doing a special edition of Pirates of Aletharia! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It’ll be part of the Rainbow After Dark box in February. 💙
The art is amazing! 😍 I can’t wait for you to see it! 💙
You can learn more from their Instagram post below or join their waitlist here.
Happy New Year! 💚💚💚
I could’ve sworn I shared this snippet here last week, but apparently, I did not. 😅 So, here’s the latest snippet from Goddess of the Sea. 💚
This one is taken from one of Zain’s (unsuccessful) lectures.
It’s hard being quartermaster to Captain Maria Welles. 😅
I’m still working through my missed messages, so if you’re waiting on a reply, don’t give up on me yet. 💚
I’ll also be sharing another announcement within the next few days, and our January newsletter should go out soon! 💚
I hope you have an awesome weekend! 💚
Lots of love,
Britney
For those who celebrate, I hope you had an awesome Christmas, and I hope your holidays are going well. 💙
And if the holidays are hard for you, like they are for me, I hope you know you’re not alone. 💙
Sending lots of love and well wishes your way. 💙
The very entertaining literary podcast Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma’am discussed Pirates of Aletharia last month. 💙🏴☠️🌈💙
Listening to this episode left me both giddy (because holy-cow-that’s-my-book-oh-my-gosh 😅) and with a sore stomach because I laughed so much. 💙
It’s so much fun. 💙
I’ve included links for anyone below who’d like to check it out. 💙
I have a new snippet to share with you, an announcement, and a newsletter to send out, but until then, happy New Year’s Eve! 💙
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. 💙)
If you’re at the ReadOUT Literary Festival in Gulfport, Florida this weekend, here’s where you can find me! 💙 P.S. — I’m operating on about two hours of sleep, so fingers crossed my brain even works! 😅 Friday:I’m a panelist on the Building Queer Worlds panel at 2:15 PM. I’m also a panelist on the […]
I really enjoyed doing this interview with I Heart SapphFic several weeks back about Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2)! 💙 I was having a bit of a scary flare-up at the time, and my mind wasn’t at its clearest. So, I might have dropped more hints about The Dragon Child […]
I’ve been having a pretty rough time lately, but during that time, Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) reached a happy, little milestone! 💙 It now has over five hundred reviews and ratings on Amazon! (And almost two hundred on Audible!) I know I’ve said this a few times now, but […]
Goddess of the Sea (Book 2 of Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons) is featured in this week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category, “Comforting the other character after a nightmare.” 💙 If you’ve read the book, you know this is a particularly significant scene for Em and Maria, so I thought I’d say a few words about it. […]
Just a head. No big deal. This snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) is the one I shared for the #lesficfri theme, “remember.” 🖤 I hope your week is off to a great start. 🖤
