First teaser from the lesbian pirate sequel! 🏴☠️🌈
(And I’m already having to bleep Maria’s language. 😅)
Did you notice how Emilia’s graduated from Maria’s “fascination” to “the woman who loves her?” ✨Progress!✨
Maybe in fifty years, Zain will actually compliment her. 😅
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this tiny snippet of Goddess of the Sea. I can’t wait to share more with you! 💙
And I hope you all have an awesome weekend! 💙
I hope you’re all having a wonderful month. 💙
I recently found out that Pirates of Aletharia won I Heart Lesfic’s Book of the Month Award in the Fantasy Romance category. 💙
Thank you so much to everyone who voted. I can’t tell you how grateful and happy I am that people are enjoying Em and Maria’s story. 💙
And I can’t wait to share their next story with you! 💙

Also…
Pirates of Aletharia is here! ❤️
I love these lesbian pirates so much, and I hope you enjoy them, too! ❤️
Emilia Drakon was once the youngest and kindest of the dragon sorcerers, but she’s now the last of her kind. Betrayed and angry, she trades her meekness for a sword and embarks on a quest for vengeance that will lead her straight into the arms of the legendary Captain Maria Welles.
Captain of the famed pirate ship, the Wicked Fate, Maria is every bit as treacherous and bloodthirsty as they say. She has her own vendetta and practically jumps at the chance to trick Emilia into joining her crew.
But when their animosity toward each other blossoms into a passionate romance, the two women will have to decide what they want most.
Vengeance?
Or love?
A sapphic fantasy adventure for people who love dangerous women, magical worlds, and lesbian pirates.
So…bad news and good news. 🏴☠️🌈
Earlier this week, something went very wonky when I submitted the Pirates of Aletharia manuscript, and Amazon cancelled the preorders (which is just a nightmare, really). But I’m trying to stay optimistic! So, the good news is: it’ll go live as soon as they approve it.
So, it’ll be out, as planned, on the 21st (if not earlier). But it’ll have a new link and no preorder period.
To everyone who preordered, your excitement still means the world to me, whether it worked out or not. 🖤🖤🖤 So, thank you so, so much, and I’ll hope you’ll still be excited when the new link’s up. 🖤🖤🖤
I’ll share the new link with you as soon as I have it! 🖤🖤🖤
Six years ago, I was afraid to even say the word “lesbian” because I couldn’t imagine a world in which I was out and okay. Now, not only am I out and okay, but I’m writing queer books and feeling absolutely fulfilled by it. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I know, when you’re taught to hate this important part of yourself, it sounds like the most absurd thing you’ll ever hear, but it really does get better. 💙
Come out when you’re ready, and know you have people loving you from afar until you are. 💙
Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️🌈
It’s Pride Month, y’all! 🏳️🌈
This is the month every year where the LGBTQ community gets supercharged by rainbows, and bigots have their socks eaten by dryers. If the universe gets the formula wrong, don’t forget to file a formal complaint, okay?
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Seriously, though, I hope you all have a wonderful month!
Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈 And in case no one has told you recently…you’re perfect the way you are. ❤️
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 […]
I’m excited to share that Pirates of Aletharia (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 1) won the 2025 IAN Book of the Year Award in LGBTQ+ Fiction! This makes, I believe, the fourth literary award it’s won. 💙 It was also a finalist in Fantasy! I’m beyond grateful. 💙
I finally made some book cards for Sapphic Book Bingo! (In my defense, I’ve been sick for AGES.) If you’re participating in Sapphic Book Bingo this year, here are some of the categories Pirates of Aletharia and Goddess of the Sea fit! 💙 (The dragons would absolutely be offended by us calling them “pets,” but…I […]
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 […]
