Did I mention Mara has toxic lesbians? Mara has toxic lesbians.

Highlighted lines:

"Her teeth found the neck of the beast; she bit for all the strength she had. Skin and muscle yielded to her jaws and the beast howled in ecstasy. It wanted this. Not just a fight, but a dance. A waltz of mutual destruction."

lines that follow: "To punctuate its need, the beast bit back as it raked along the nun’s shoulder, spreading cloth and skin alike. The nun could only moan into the flesh of the beast as she refused to let go."

Writing progress from 2019 vs 2026 Just kept plunking. (I didn't want to co-opt the art thread so I'm making a new one for writing)

It never occurred to me to ask for help.

Not once.

Who could ask for help when we're surrounded by so many
people so eager to give advice. To help. Or so they think.

Mara is a space opera about messy characters in an oppressive universe. Inspired in equal parts by the corrosive influence of genAI, the Buddhist concepts of reality, psychic powers, trans autonomy, and anarchist ideals, it's a both a page turning ride and a very personal encouragement to survive.

As an author this is *big*, and something I hope folks do (and not just because I'm in this position myself) Your first book is so much of a learning experience. And perhaps also your first major public feedback. You absorb and grow, and then jump into your second book determined. At least I did 😅

prismata.press @prismata.press · 09/07/2026

We've been cheeky about what Mara IS NOT, so what IS Mara? At its heart, Mara is about the struggle against oppression (internal, local, and galactic) with messy, flawed characters. Relatably human, even with an android messiah at its center! Both epic and heartfelt. prismata-press.itch.io/mara

Graphic with the android Mara. Mara is about the struggle against oppression, messy, relatable humanity heartfelt queer characters
