i encourage anyone who wants to support indie artists to browse the reblogs and join me in my quest

Magica Riot - a trans magical girl novel

Claire always wanted to be a girl. She never dreamed she’d be a magical girl.

The last night of Claire Ryland's old life in the closet was pretty normal, aside from the alley fight with interdimensional monsters. Fortunately, the drummer of her favorite local band transformed into a magical girl and saved her.

Then Claire became a magical girl as well. Things got a little complicated after that.

Now Claire is juggling two new lives: living as a girl and as a member of Portland's super-secret supernatural defense squad, the hard-rocking magical girls known as Magica Riot!

Magica Riot is now available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats! Written by me, with beautiful cover art by Amber Dill (@ambisweetiepie).

A list of several sellers - along with more info and a preview of the first two chapters - can be found on the official site, magicariot.com!

Servants of the darkness, be silenced by the song of Magica Riot!

If you'd still like to support me, I'm now offering a PDF and EPUB of the revised Blind Trust ebook for free, under the vague hope that you might take the time to review it on Goodreads when you finish. And like, maybe shoot me a message if you get to a part you like. i like hearing the reactions of readers, it really makes my day.

Download Blind Trust Here!

Want to know what you're getting into? Blind Trust is a meandering, magical realism meet-cute between an abused, escaped wizard and a Very Tired sorcerer who's desperately trying to find the love of his life before he's fully taken over by the separate dimension that's taking him over for years. No one really has any idea what's going on. Everybody needs a hug. And they all get hugs, it's awesome.

AMBROSIA - pseudo-dystopian girlgroup novel - COMING FEBRUARY 2025

At fourteen, Katya signs her life over to entertainment monopolist W-Media to be broken down and reshaped into the perfect superstar. At twenty-one, now under the name Ambrosia, she is the centerpiece of wildly popular girl-group Moxxy, female lead in hit-block-buster S.L.Y., and firmly cemented as one of W-Media’s most lucrative creations ever. She, also, hides a mental-breakdown-induced shaved head under her wig, keeps bleeding out of her nose due to experimental performance-enhancing drugs, and is about to turn the most prestigious award ceremony of the year into a whirlwind of shattered glass and bloodshed. 

AMBROSIA is a non-chronological story with a frame narrative that spans only a single day, while the story-within draws from anywhere within the past seven years of management-dictated shower times, content-factory dorms, and a life made for consumption that slowly but surely turns the pleasure of being looked at by everybody into the overwhelming urge to claw out eyes.

It’s also quite very gay. Significantly gay. This is lesbians. Thank you.

Holy shit, lads. AMBROSIA will be out in February and go on pre-order somewhere within the next 2-3 months.

The INCREDIBLE cover has been made by the equally incredible @shalida ! Charlie has been an absolute delight to work with and I've been chomping at the bit to finally show their creation to everybody for the past couple months!!

Or Else is a mystery novel about academia, fanfiction, and queer love. I'm a long-time fic writer who's been on Tumblr for about a million years, and now that I've written an original novel, I wanted to share it with the kinds of folks who I think will most appreciate it. If you want to read about a detective's assistant who finds himself falling in love with the detective, or a queer literature grad student searching for their missing friend and lover, this is for you. It's got murder, mayhem, excerpts of Sherlock Holmes fanfiction, a culty academic department, and GAY SEX. Please check it out! You can read it for free at http://orelsemystery.com. Chapters release Fridays beginning 6/14/24.

"The world is going to end, and, judging by the cold, soon."

The sun is dying. Sol, a powerful vagabond, is called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice - to give their soul to the cosmos, to become the next sun. To make their soul powerful enough for this, they must obtain blessings from the Gods. However, Sol and their companion, a star named Celeste, are hunted down by a mysterious star with the intent of killing Sol. Can they evade this star? Are they worthy of the blessings?

And... are they ready to die for a world that hated them so?

Find out in the dialogue focused, character oriented, queer novel, SOLACE! Contains the prologue and the first chapter.

Note that this is a linear story with no hard choices or branching paths, as it is a test run for twine. Thank you for understanding <:

I haven't had the chance to test this in browsers other than firefox, so i'd highly recommend using it while playing.

CW: racism, mild transphobia, eye contact, discussion of death.

Hey! How's life going? Hope everything's ok! I've been away from tumblr for a long while now but everytime I hop on I come here and it brings me joy. Just want to spread some of it back to you :)

Hi!

Good to hear from you. Glad to have you back on tumblr. I sometimes forget about her, but then when I come back and I can scroll along it also brings me joy and I think we need more joy in our lives.

Things are going okay with me. I keep wanting to post on BFSN/sunflower kru posts, but for some reason I can't post pics on tumblr? IDK. So I can't share the two separate batches of rescue kittens we got this year. First Gizmo (super fuzzy and black) and then the Goobie Brothers (Twinkie, Mac and Cheese. Orange and white tabbies.)

I am working on creating a couple of careers (art and writing!) and there's a lot to go with it. I joined an art collective and have my art up in the gallery and am teaching classes and also just started a job a the classroom coordinator and working on their website. Which is teaching me how to set up a shop on my own website so as soon as I manage to do that, I think I'll start selling my art online and hopefully get some of it out there! Exciting.

I also finally published my debut novel (but Rowena, haven't you been writing for DECADES? Yes. Yes I have, but publishing is a different thing entirely. And after spending a few years ghostwriting romance and having no time left for my own books I finally just said screw it, and got this puppy out there in the world. It's a big deal but I keep pretending to myself it's nothing. So let me share with y'all. Almost no one has seen it. My goal this year is to work on marketing. So let me start here.

Spacewitch, by Rowena Murillo is on Amazon in ebook format and on Kindle Unlimited. (paperback still to come.)

Mona Luu was not a hero. She was a failed biomech engineer, failed live-ship captain, failed… lets be honest, failed everything. 

But she was a gondam genius at being a fake witch who sold psionic alien goo charms that were guaranteed to bring normies the magic of the universe.*

Mona and Dragon, her sentient alien spaceship, warped across Sol System, from station to settlement, avoiding anything resembling responsibility and living their best lives. 

Then some stowaway kid heard “Witch” and confused Mona with her savior…

It’s an overwhelming time, isn’t it Fenn?

Please be gentle with yourselves. If something brings you joy, do it. Take the freaking nap. Buy something for your inner child. Go to the humane society and ask if they’d let you love on some fur babies.

For me, I’m indulging in letting myself make what I feel like, and not sticking to the self imposed schedule that was planned.

I have a number of items I want to work on, from Fenns outfit, to her tiny pastel friend taking shape, to bringing to life the large size of frog friends. Making these lil ones is a much needed distraction.

I’ve also been working on some book related projects and letting myself make my characters just run and play. Which, you know, involves yarn, demons, flirting and maybe a murder.

Don’t forget about the discount if you need a lil friend of your own https://chroniccraftywitch.etsy.com?coupon=EMOTIONALSUPPORT

The First in a HopePunk Asexual Romantasy Epic...

Edgar Gallows escaped the trauma and abuse of the county's preeminent magical institution and wants nothing else but to live his lonely, boring life. But one encounter forces him to remember. Remember who is he. Who he was supposed to be. What was meant to happen. Remember, Edgar, you have to remember -

Explicit representation of mental health, as well as gender identity and sexuality. A central intersex lead that doesn't have the narrative focus on the effects of his chromosomes. Aggressively tender. Unreasonably intimate.

Available on Amazon now in e-book and paperback. Also up on IngramSparks, so you can request it at your local library or bookstore.

Want to keep reading? The first four chapters of Taker of the Third Path are available for free!

If you want to be among the first to read the novel - and get a lot of fun extras out of the deal - consider backing the ✨Taker of the Third Path Kickstarter!✨

(Image description and transcript under the cut)

(Image ID: The first image is a banner with a foggy, forested background, mountains rising in the distance and birds flying just above the trees. "Taker of the Third Path" is written in large red text across the center, with smaller black text reading "A queer fantasy romance novel" beneath it. The second image is an excerpt from the prologue of Taker of the Third Path. End image ID.)

Text transcript:

The spiral spins away in the same movement that it turns back.

A priest and a hedgewitch—both one man—tramped down the wide forest road with customary resolve, following the long unspooling thread laid out by his god. This thread oriented him. If asked, he would say he admired the trees reaching across empty earth and stone to lace their delicate, branching fingers together overhead—that he watched the light that filtered between them, slanted orange with afternoon, as it performed its subtle, dappled dance across the ground. The canopy was a patchwork of red and rust and yellow, a bright blaze of life before leaf-fall that he did not miss.

And it was true that he saw these things. True, that his thoughts meandered over the people he had said goodbye to when he left Art Ehnk’telin, the northeastern most of the continent’s great Elven cities, days earlier. He’d spent one of his longer stints there, a full three months. It was only natural that he’d formed some loose attachments.

But these perceptions, these thoughts, these questings outward, were always drawn back in by that red thread wrapped tightly around the fist of the priest’s heart. That thread drew him inexorably forward—like gravity or magic, which are one and the same—into the future, along the slow spiral axis of the seasons. He was, at all times and despite appearances, rushing forward. Eager to widen his own spiral.
