A picture with an orange background and the cover for Awakenings, on which three friends look out at a red-sand desert road, towards a domed city. 
Your story is my story… 
In which …  an optimist with countless failed apprenticeships, an anxious lizard artificer, and an amnesiac elf traverse a haunted world in a magical, sentient Wagon to unravel the mystery behind the elf’s missing memories (and play lots of board games).
An earnest love letter to JRPGs steeped in an aro/ace -normative world

Just three newly-met friends going on an adventure that will change their lives.

THE CHRONICLES OF NEREZIA is a classic quest story full of all the things I love: queer found families, board/card games, side quests, and funky worldbuilding!

Alicia Hiller holding a copy of the soon (March 17th) to be released copy of Hornytown Chutzpah while wearing a blue "Sucker 4 Sin" t-shirt that features a giant lollipop.

She is standing on the observation deck on the 27th floor of the World Trade Center Baltimore where the AWP reading took place. Charm City Spec produced the reading.

In the opening chapter of Hornytown Chutzpah, a demon enters Detective Sol Weiss' office because she's been framed for murder. She's wearing a "Sucker 4 Sin" T-shirt that features a giant lollipop.

So when my audiobook co-narrator came to read @charmcityspec.bsky.social, she came in costume.

"We did no fundraising in 2025 out of recognition of the current moment, and the 2026 awards are being funded out of pocket by the administrators."

We aren't serious. This should insta-fund every year.

Everyone sees what "writer causes" we do and don't rally behind.

We can change that, though.

✨ Awards! ✨

Hey. We all know most awards are deeply flawed, but celebrating art is vital in these and all times.

Also, awards are a lot like politics in general. We think we can't affect them when we can.

Here are my Awards Thoughts, fwtwty:
