Writing has been difficult for me lately, but one thing that always seems to get things moving is writing long hand first. It's like I get out of my own way, at least until my hand screams no more.

I am mostly flitting between short stories and my urban fantasy, waiting for the snow to melt.

It's World Book Day! 📚 If you like, check out Sweet & Wild! It's an MM Fantasy Romance that's sweet as honey with a bit of sting! 🍯🐝

A shojo style art piece featuring two men first looking at each other, foreheads pressed together as they smile gently. Another panel shows them kissing. The taller man is Sasha, with pale skin and short light brown hair and scruff on his chin. He's wearing leather armor and a green tunic. The shorter man is Galen, with tan skin and long auburn hair pulled into a bun. He has a large burn scar on his face and neck. He is wearing a yellow tunic. Overlaid is a meme that reads: "you'll die for me. awesome. will you break a habit for me? will you learn something new for me? will you fix your mistakes for me? dying for me is surprisingly easy - it's often passive and instantaneous and you only need to do it once. will you do the hard thing of constantly and consistently putting in the work again and again and again?

The Need for Dandelions comes out on March 31st!

You can preorder it now and add it on Goodreads and The Storygraph!

Welp. Seems like it's a good day to highlight trans books. I'll do this off and on all day, no idea how long the thread will eventually be. And if you need any trans book recommendations, post in here and I'll point you toward people who might know if I don't since I mostly do romantasy.

one of the best books I read last year when it was still in editing phases…… give Alex your money you won’t regret it

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

A graphic captioned sunday memeday. Character art of Proteus Xlato and Archeon Mochizuki from the book Mochizuki and Xlato. Two memes. 'I don't have to make everything gay but I want to and I fucking will.' 'Born to say are you fucking stupid forced to say wow ive never thought about it like that before.'

*** Mochizuki & Xlato A book cover for Mochizuki & Xlato by Noah Hawthorne, also known as Aelina Isaacs, illustrating a pale vampire, wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a dark waist coat and dark slacks, laying on his back in the wet midnight grass. He smokes a cigarette, whose strong tobaccan smoke wafts in the air in a thick stylized current, floating into the moonlight and carrying his lower body up with it. He doesn't pay it any heed though, because he is looking for aliens. His attention is entirely consumed looking into the end of the brass telescope that he lays under, adjusting dials and tilting the angle because some exterior force keeps subtly shifting the scope. That force, meddling with the telescope, is the incredibly obvious alien floating in the smoke. They are a huge being, large enough to near fill the cover with their imposing girth, and they are a handsome one with all the charisma of the god Dionysus and the quiet personal amusement of the fey. They have grey skin that glitters with the fragmented hues of opals between patterns like a shark that are most apparent in their long ribbon like ear lobes. Their half lidded eyes are black with white irises and look down over a shallow wide nose with condensing humour at the vampire looking for them. They're not exactly a danity creature, at least a plump four times the width of the vampire, and even in the dark they glow from the gills slicing through their cheeks and neck. What's more they are not a modest dresser, in open flowing robes that themselves are transparent, and a silk scarf with jingling celestial jewellery. But still, in the starry night they remain unnoticed and amuse themselves with this fact by gently pushing the telescope that is being utilised to find them.

🔭 Antagonistic, they are. 🔭

Mochizuki and Xlato: When an Vampire Falls in Love With A Star is like a thunderstorm at night, and these two clash like lightning.
