After a few years of hard work, The Chosen One Con is out now on ebook with paperbacks to follow soon! Available on Kindle, Kobo, Itch and more to come. books2read.com/thechosenone... But of course, I couldn't publish this book without help, and I have a lot of people to thank! 👇

A promo image for The Chosen One Con, out now on Kindle, Kobo, and Itch. It shows the book cover to the Chosen One Con (a young white man in a trench coat holding a glowing blue potion bottle as though trying to steal it) and the following text: Magic spoke to me, whispering promises of fortune and fame. It spoke when I switched on the old MV and the screen came alive with the blue glow of magic, the faint spark and pop of aether flowing through the cables.

beneath it is a picture of katie (black dog with a white, semi bald nose with a scar) and on the other side are the covers for the four books in the reanimator mysteries series (the reanimator's heart, the reanimator's soul, the reanimator's remains, and the reanimator's fate)
in between, it says my dog katie had a soft tissue sarcoma removed from her nose and had radiation. the vet bills have been a lot of money and she has a recheck in september. to offset the cost, I'm putting the reanimator mysteries on sale for 50% off on itchio. you can grab all 4 for $10

Promo graphic for S.L. Dove Cooper's novella All That Glitters. The bright neon, 80s vibe cover with a giant golden flamingo silhouette stands beside a text box with the description and an area with availability details.

Text:
Elaine is just an average young woman. If you ignore the wealth she inherited when her family died in an accident and the greenhouse holding a talkative yellow (read: golden) flamingo with a flair for drama and theatrics. She's living a completely normal life. Clearly.

Until the stormy night a talking aye-aye in a bomber jacket breaks into her house and drags her along into a world of spies and evil scientists attempting to take over the world. And her best friend is in danger.

All That Glitters is a novella full of glorious nonsense and amusement as Elaine tries to deal with a world in which animals talk, her best friend has been kidnapped and life isn't what she always believed it to be.

Available wide now!

Some more thoughts on my trans representation for the #transrightsreadathon. (I hope ya'lls reads are going great 💕🏳️‍⚧️)

Oh. Oh. The thought was small and bright and it settled quickly into a contented warmth. His little swan had searched and found himself, the same way Andres had, and there was a beauty and bond in that Andres could find nowhere else. He was a wonder, a monument to his own godhood. Andres wanted him all the more for it. “My Cygnus. You’re magnificent.”

It was a treasure to write Andres and Shane together. They are two people who might not share the same gender identity but who both know what it means to find yourself outside of the gender roles assigned at birth. Whether through romantic relationships or platonic ones, connection with others within our community is so important and special, and I’m excited to write more of such pairing and friendships in the future.

When I started the GFDV series, I envisioned a city that would feel the same sort of real yet mysterious as Buffy's Sunnydale: a place with the depth of a real city, but a little something extra sparkly on top. Cemeteries are sparkly, right? Where do you think the final two books will take place? 👀

More trans rep thoughts in honor of the #transrightsreadathon 🏳️‍⚧️

“They for my friends, he for my lovers.” Diego smiled from the shadows.

Maddox watched, and smooth as silk he asked, “Which would I be?”

The way Diego’s heart fluttered was all too traitorous. “You get to figure that one out yourself.”

With that, they turned their back on him.

Diego’s pronouns were one of the first things I knew about them. Like myself, they don’t fit into a specific gender box: not quite a trans man but still intrinsically distant from the womanhood they were assigned at birth, not relating to any specific non-binary boxes, but not agender either. Whatever their gender, Diego has fought too hard to become the person they are to let anyone else make them feel inferior for it.

Just some thoughts on my trans Cinderella for the #transrightsreadathon...

Quote from the book:

“I wish for my body to feel like a home, instead of a house.” Cin took a breath, dwelling in the unwanted weight of his breasts, the pain between his ribs, the wrongness of it all. “Have you ever felt that? That there’s some part of you that isn’t right for you to inhabit? But you’re forced to bear it anyway, by some ruthless twist of fate, to be reminded every minute of every day that you are a foreigner to your own flesh?”

As someone who has shared both Cinder’s chronic pain and his dysphoria over his breasts, I wanted, through Cinder’s experiences and (sometimes violent) emotions, to convey the way it feels to have a body that brings you more pain than joy. I am not in the market of magically “healing” my disabled characters, but for Cinder, giving him a body that could also be a home was the only real choice for me.
