I hope you all had a good holiday and a good start to the year. ๐ I missed a few of our Teaser Days during the holidays (and the craziness that followed), but Iโm…back now, I guess? ๐
Iโm still working on the lesbian pirate book, and I canโt wait to share more of that with you. ๐ But until then, hereโs some more Rose and Kara. ๐ Happy Teaser Day! Stay safe. ๐
Iโm so amazed and grateful (and sort of in shock, still ๐ ). I poured my whole soul into that book (and series), and I canโt tell you how much it means to me to know that people enjoyed it. โค๏ธ
I love you all so much. Thank you for giving Rose and Kara a place in your hearts. โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐
And be sure to check out the whole list! There are lots of awesome lesfic authors on there! โค๏ธ
I missed a few teaser days, but here are my pirates again. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐
Iโm still working on the first draft of this book, which means itโs too early to say when itโll be finished. But Iโm working really hard on it. ๐ค
I hope youโre all doing well and staying safe! Happy Teaser Day! ๐ค
I know I havenโt been on here in a while. Sorry about that. I went through a pretty rough patch of depression. ButโฆIโm feeling a little better now, and I plan to be more active in November! (I do have some lesbian pirates to share with you, after all! ๐ค)
I hope youโre having a great Spooky Day, and as always, hereโs our traditional Alana teaser! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ค
Happy National Coming Out Day to everyone who is coming out, already out, or not ready to come out yet! No matter which category youโre in, youโre just as valid and just as worthy of acceptance and love. โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐
Sometimes, hiding the truth from others, or even yourself, is a matter of survival, and sometimes, coming out is a matter of survival. When I first came out to a few people I trusted, thatโs what it was for meโa last ditch effort at justโฆsurviving. I was so suicidal, and I felt like holding the truth inside had poisoned the air I breathed. But I also didnโt feel safe coming out to most people I knew. So, I came out to only a few peopleโpeople that I knew werenโt cruel or hateful, people who didnโt make me afraid. And it saved my life.
Eventually, Iโd written books about queer women and had enough of an online presence that most everyone knew, and there was no point in hiding it anymore. And that was so freeing! ๐ But in the beginning, it was terrifying.
Iโd be lying if I said it wasnโt STILL terrifying.
Iโm sharing this for this reason: if this is you, if you feel like youโll die if you have to bottle it up for one more day, but donโt feel safe coming out, let me know. Iโll be your substitute friend or family. Iโll tell you youโre perfect, just as you are, and worthy of love, just as you are.
Because Iโve been there, and someone did the same for me. We lose too many LGBTQ people to suicide, and I desperately donโt want that to be you. No matter who you are, I want you to know that I love you and want you to be here. Take care of yourselves, whether that means coming out or not. ๐
