A Queer Historical Murder Mystery To Fall In Love With

How could I resist Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen after hearing it was a historical fiction murder mystery where the main character is a gay man in the 1950s who gets employed by the wife of a soap dynasty businesswoman to investigate the death of said businesswoman? Not only is it LGBTQ representation, but its representation given by an author who identifies with the LGBTQ community. Someone who…

I FINALLY read The Unwanted Guest yesterday! And by "read" I mean "did a reading", I got to do Ianthe, none if us had read the script beforehand, and we randomly improvised with chairs to follow the scene instructions, it was absolutely glorious.

ANYWAY. I cannot decide what is hotter: Palamedes in his terrible half-burnt suit and the cigarette he doesn't know why he's holding, or Ianthe with her maid/butler routine.

Believe me, no one is more horrified to realize this than me.

I haven't shown much of the visual novel I'm working on! What Shadows Know is a supernatural murder mystery where photography revives the dead. Here are some of Boyer's expressions—a professor investigating a hit-and-run case that left a woman undead.

If you've read my aot fics, you probably know my OC, Nathalie. I used her as the protagonist of my new original series. Book 1 is finally out and you can get it here.

Yes, I used a silly little pen name

There's gonna be a bunch of crime/thriller/mystery/human experimentation/cold war/scifi shit, BUUUUTTT there's also gonna be a very juicy love triangle with a healthy dose of angst and action/adventure.

And from 21/06-25/06 you can get it for free at Kindle Free Book Deals, so stay tuned in!

If you're a nerd (like me) you're gonna love it cuz I explore the concept of biological time travel via quantum entanglement, and all of it takes place in the 1950s.

Summary:

The Burgess Family, a group of highly intelligent individuals, keeps their advanced technology hidden from the rest of the world. To protect it, they created the Garner Family, perfect soldiers, genetically engineered to obey them. A side effect of such an experiment resulted in a single Garner per generation to be born with the ability of time and space travel. Set in 1956, Dr Nathalie Burgess joins the time and space traveller, Tedric Garner, in a project to uncover the mysteries of time and space. Who would have thought that they would stray so far from their research?

This morning, while the sun was stretching its spine and rising into the sky, I was in the shower. Getting ready to drive too long and too far to work in an office. An office placed in the center of a city I cannot stand. Maybe on another day I will get into that. I am not feeling nostalgic today, only a little resentful. Listening through earbuds, I follow Mrs. Davenport fall into step with the…
