I talk to my cats and occasionally write stuff. I write all shades of fantasy and dabble in other speculative genres. She/her

Today’s launch day for my queer seafaring fantasy novel, Blood of the Gods! Let’s celebrate with our unenthusiastic MMC, Jonah! Grab a copy (signed copies include goodies!): linktr.ee/corvidarcana #booksky #queerwriters #queerbooks
An illustration of Jonah from Blood of the Gods. He has ginger hair and is wearing all black. He is holding a blue ballon, and his other hand is on his hip with his thumb tucked into his pocket.

I think you should buy my trans magical girl novels. They’re full of big feelings and big action and you’re directly supporting me and my work. magicariot.com/buy

In the center is the cover for Floodwaters by Wren L. Rivers. It features a silhouetted hand reaching out from the ocean.

Surrounding the cover are tropes and descriptions. Going clockwise, starting from the top left corner:
Classmates to friends
Furious god of the sea
Apocalyptic great flood
Nerd and jock
Tragedy
Golden blood
Stay alive… out of spite
Almost romance, if only they had more time
Innocence, desperation, and greed
Group science project
Classmates to friends

As a backdrop behind the text, there is an image of underwater, which gradients from light blue at the top to nearly black at the bottom.

Floodwaters has been out for a total of one day, but hey, why not throw my hat into the ring 😂 If you’ve read Floodwaters, please consider nominating it for the Indie Ink Awards! indiestorygeek.com/story/10322

The background behind the graphic is a blurred out image of a bookshelf.

The general submissions portal is now open for all writers. We are looking for speculative fiction stories, 5000 words or under, and our preference is for something that is, more or less, fun.

This is Eleanor Rigby, aka Ellie, aka Ellie belly. She is 11 years young and one of the primary obstacles I blame when I want to write. Her favorite place to sit is between me and the keyboard and her favorite thing to do is to destroy feathered toys.
A small brown tabby cat with greenish eyes gives the camera a very unimpressed look. She is lounging on a person's pajama clad lap.
