I go mad with power so fast. Started playing crusader kings and within an hour I'm sending my young daughter off to marry a 60 year old foreign king. And I BETTER see my blood on the Bohemian throne.

Writing a lesbian vampire novel is so easy. Just one manipulative woman being manipulated by a more competent manipulative woman. And she's scared horny about it. Exactly.

EVENT HORIZON: THE SYNOPSIS

The year is 2568, and humanity has spread itself thin and wide across the galaxy.
Less than half a century has passed since the Paradigm Shift, the cataclysmic event that caused the collapse of all large-scale galactic governments--and left thousands of worlds to their own devices. In the ashes of these Empires, the unexpected happened: Humanity rebuilt, and it rebuilt better.

It is now 50 years into humanity's Golden Age. A refugee named Yana finds her new, post-scarcity home just as asphyxiating as the ruins of her homeworld. Though all her needs are met, a deep discontentment still brews, despite all attempts to keep it at bay by focusing on her work as an epidemiologist, her pet amoeba, and a quickly crumbling social life.

The situation changes when Yana is accidentally recruited into the Galaxy's foremost peacekeeping organization, and realizes it might hold the answers she seeks.

Now, with her last shot at happiness on the line, she must either prove her worth to her new employers, or lose all her prospects--for good.

EVENT HORIZON: THE EXCERPTS

"In the third deck of the Nomadic Exploration Volunteers’ scout ship Radiant, Yana sat in a waiting room and considered all the decisions that had led her to this point.
The old vessel had been quick to work its strange magic on her. From the moment she stepped through the umbilical, a whole new world had welcomed her. A world of history—not the almost desperate remembrances of the Habitat’s Bellerophons and Devapalas and Anansis, not the things that were easy or empowering to remember, but real history, immediate history, written in dents and plasma burns and long sinuous scars in the fuselage. It reminded Yana of something she hadn’t seen in a long time—something she’d escaped, but had come to find herself missing, as if some part of her had craved the simplicity of hardship."

"She was standing on a flat platform lined with street lights, floating, island-like, in the darkness; next to her were Rook, and Six, and no-one else. A pipe hung from the unseen ceiling and gently touched down, the now inert transport pod cradled by its curvature. All else was amorphous, suggested though air vibrations and distant, echoing screeches.
Storage, the voice had said. Yana knew what the word truly meant. Every station, sooner or later, developed such places. They were the bowels of their artificial worlds, the layers between Layers, the unlit hollows where the extraneous and the unclaimed gathered out of sight and mind."

The audiobook version of my sapphic paranormal romance "Shifting Nature" is out now: www.audible.com/pd/Shifting-... "Shifting Nature" is part 2 of a fake relationship/enemies-to-lovers duology that started in "Enemies by Nature." Both audiobooks are narrated by Abby Craden.

Audiobook out now: Shifting Nature by Jae. The cover of the book depicts a fox and a woman sitting next to each other, with the woman petting the fox.

I think my books will be a duology as opposed to a trilogy like originally thought, which means I will need to start a different book sooner then expected. Still not for years but that means I need to start being insane about a new idea now #writing #writingcommunity #queerwriters #pocwriters

Alvin, Saul and Emmanuel have thematic meaning. James, Joseph, Arlo were chosen to fit the characters possible backgrounds without pinning it down too specifically. Hayden just sounded like a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶r̶ name to me. Kallan and Kirk were because I'd given too many characters A names so I switched to K.

Agent Sojac's first name is Tyger because she was born with those orange stripes in her hair and her mother is a big William Blake fan. #webcomics #comics #characters #oc #writing #writingprompts #names weirdluck.net/cast-of-characters/

Special Agent Tyger Sojac, protagonist of the Weird Luck webcomic, as drawn by Mike Bennewitz. 30-ish androgynous woman with brown skin, short black hair with orange stripes, green eyes.

My main characters are Odylline and Elisabeta, Ode and Elli for short. Elisabeta seemed to me a quintessential vampire name. Odylline is based off a random bridal studio name that I loved the sound of; in universe, it means "Ode to life" #writing #writingcommunity #queerwriting ##writersofcolor
