The hard work Jaclyn Kelso and Allie Shae put into their performances in House of Rayne, bringing these characters to life, is so clear when you listen. I can't thank them enough for the passion with which they approached this project 🖤

| Books in Progress for 2026, cont. | Forgotten Land – achillean romance. I'm not sure how to describe this except like... cowboy meets investigative journalist who won't stop trespassing on his ranch in an effort to find the legendary cryptids that live there. There's horror. And it's kinky (duh).

I live in Washington State. I have 3 cats and many plants. I am nonbinary, which means my natural hair color is somewhere between pink and blue. I'm obsessed with Stardew Valley. I drink a lot of coffee, and a ton of tea. I only leave my house for books or brunch.

House of Rayne in spicy microtropes 🌶✨️ Looking to get a very particular itch scratched? Do you want sapphic ladies falling in love while running from ghosts? How about a sarcastic-but-protective Muscle Mommy? Or an anxious-but-loyal GF who will risk her life for you (and your dog)?

Character art depicting the main characters of House of Rayne by Harley Laroux stand in the foreground. Rayne has long brown hair and golden-brown skin, with a muscular build. Salem is shorter than Rayne, with short brown hair and cream-white skin. The background is red, with the silhouettes of trees.

Microtropes from House of Rayne by Harley Laroux are listed against a red background. Face your fears for me, what's your safeword, bondage, yes madam, she snips her panties off with garden shears, she talks her through it, shine that boot for me, ready to take my strap pretty girl — all are listed as microtropes.

Take note: if the Democrats sell out trans folks for this, our means they are willing to do the same to any oppressed group. The right move here is "we are going to protect vulnerable groups, so if he wants to shut down the government, let him." Dems cannot capitulate to him.
