I have functionally been up since 4am and let me tell you, I canNOT wait to be comfy in my clean sheets and jammies reading a book well before my usual bed time.
Sooooo, my indie release ARC form is back open again! I have quite a few indie releases on deck for 2026 (including some strap-tastic surprises I can't wait to whip outπ€).

A Regency Era Romantic Comedy: Consorting with the King by C. Quince Pre-Order Now!
When the queer nobility of Europe are invited to the Grand Palace in Istanbul to compete as suitors for the king's favour... Shy Prince Francis gets a lot more out of this trip than he bargained for!
Preorder Consorting with the King by @cquince.bsky.social today! It released March 11th!
I was an ARC reader for this book and it was a sweet, warm, wonderful romance! It had such an interesting setting and a simply fantastic couple! And cats! So many cats! πππ
A blue sea with a pink sunset background. The text on top is in a translucent rectangle. It reads "The Wine-Dark Sea" and then "the temple is a lonely place. So, too, is the sea. Still, it carries what you desire all the same. Your love."
If you're looking for your next spring read, might I suggest preordering The Wine-Dark Sea? You'll enjoy...

πΏ tests of devotion

The gap in my resume is from being released into the wild.
This is a collection of the monthly frog drawing requests from stream. There is a frog with cat ears and a huge mouth, a frog holding a blanket and a teddy as if they just had a nightmare, a small frog lying face down on the ground, a plate of spaghetti with frogs instead of meatballs, and a very round opossum with little frogs riding on their back.
Please enjoy the utterly confusing set of vibes from our march froggos #frogs etc etc
I think it's really telling how we view women now (especially things related to rights and power, etc) because how DARE we suggest that the past was at any point more progressive than we are right now.
aww thank you! I struggled with some of the contrast and I'm glad it worked out

one day they WILL look like that, it's aspirational!
It's a common myth that people in the Middle Ages were constantly drinking alcohol due to water being unsafe.
This is a failure to really THINK about what what life was like, then, beyond "well, what did they drink instead of water?"
Because the answer is, well, they didn't drink very much?
even the way the lighting is!!!! it's beautiful
OUGH the stained glass look.... exquisite...
The cover of Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. It shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face.
π¦ COVER REVEAL π¦
I am THRILLED to show you the cover of my upcoming vampire anthology, EXQUISITE UNDEAD!
This stunning artwork is by R.E. Murray, who took my vision to an unbelievable level. It's PERFECT π€©
The anthology's Kickstarter launches April 1! https://tinyurl.com/exquisite-undead

It's not awful but I don't always enjoy it. Partially bc of how much work and time it takes to pull off something top tier and consistently engaging & partially bc I feel so awkward about sharing my writing. Like I didn't publish it because I wanted people to read it or anything ππ

Yeah the big store is a bit of a hike vs the game stop, so I don't go that often. But I do swap games with my friend, which helps when I want to play a new game but not buy one!
All of my console games except Bg3 are disc because I post up at the used game stores π
that's annoying! entirely defeats the purpose! But yeah ubisoft games tend to go on sale a lot during the big playstation sales, usually sub 10 bucks
if your console has a disc drive you can often find used ps4 copies for inexpensive as well...

I ate there exactly once and hated it. I don't like buffalo chicken to begin with, so that probably didn't help.
