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. 💙
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. 💙💙💙💙

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. 🏴☠️🌈
(I finally remembered to do the thing!)
If you’re participating in Jae’s Sapphic Book Bingo this year, here are some of the categories my books fit into. (I’m sure I missed something, but hopefully, it’s still helpful. 😅💙)
If you’re doing the Unicorn card, Pirates of Aletharia fits the 5-Star Read qualifications on Amazon, and both Pirates of Aletharia and The Reign of Darkness have unusual settings. 💙

At some point last week, Pirates of Aletharia received its 500th Amazon review. 💙 I’m utterly amazed.
And so, so grateful. 💙
Thank you all for reading! And for showing so much love to these lesbian pirates and their meddling ship cat! 💙
I feel like I could say thank you every day, and it still wouldn’t be enough. But hopefully, my periodic thank you’s reach you, at least. 💙
I love writing so much, and I’m grateful every day I get to do it.
You have no idea how many writer’s blocks and self-doubt spirals your support and kind words have pulled me through.
I appreciate you all more than I could ever say, and I can’t wait to share Em and Maria’s next adventure with you. 💙
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! 💙
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. 🖤
