i know how hard it is to indiepub your book

i know how it stings when all your friends tell you they’re excited to support but then no one buys a copy

i know how lonely it can be to try and pursue a dream!

reblog and pitch me your indie published novel and i’ll buy a copy + review it on amazon (or site of your choice, gonna guarantee you a 4 or 5 star rating no matter what i think) and publish a review to my website

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

Blind Trust Reviewer's Edition!

Hi Friends! I've had a few people wanting to read Blind Trust, the start of my asexual hopepunk, speculative fiction epic, but not being able to afford to buy it. That's totally fine! 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.

Read below for a little overview slideshow I made! TW FOR EYES ON ONE SLIDE. I GOT FUNKY.

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.

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.

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.

“A delicious, queer, and folkloric dark romance from beginning to end, T.D. Cloud’s INFAUST is a must-read for fans of magic and prickly banter. The tense and electrifying relationship between Rehan, a witch bereft of a familiar, and Piper, a snarky and twisted chaos god, is a devilish delight to read for people who just really wished Faust and Mephistopheles would kiss already.” -- Morgan Dante, author of A FLAME IN THE NIGHT

Infaust is a dark romance recounting the tale of the witch Rehan Nadir and the elusive chaos god known only as the Piper. Trapped in a world where even the very dirt wants them dead, the two must depend on one another to escape—and along the way realize that perhaps the definition of a happily ever after really is a subjective one. Contains psychological horror, violence, dubious consent, protag corruption, villain "love interest", blood, descriptions of being burnt alive, and other gruesome acts. Viewer discretion is advised.
