A Christmas Menagerie: The Journey Behind the Tale

What genre is your WIP?

Tam Lin is Scottish folk ballad where our heroine saves our hero from the Queen of the fairies. It's a #Fantasy but there elements of the mythical, Scottish Folk, naturalist spirit and oral balladry

✍️ New post: The Rainbow Logo Still Matters

Corporate Pride has pulled back after being under fire from both the right and parts of the left.

As someone who’s gay in a country where it’s illegal to be one, here’s why those rainbow logos and imperfect support still mean something to me.

Hello all!

My dear friend Jane Barnes, a lifelong, prolific and highly dedicated writer who has been of great inspiration to my own artistic pursuits in this life, is looking for a copy-editor to work with her on getting her novel ready for publication! She writes:

"Do you know of a woman who could copywriter my finished lesbian novel?  I worked on it for 30 years and it's 200 pages long. I'm looking for someone furiously literary who's crazy about literature, music, language, possibly things French, and the history of the Twenties. Does anyone come to mind?

Copywriting includes proofing but beyond misspellings, having a look out for consistency, the right word, even a better way to write it.

Thanks for your time."

PM me if you want to take it on!

I stepped away from a snarl in my novel to get some perspective -- and decided to write some fast fun short bisexual erotica -- just for a few weeks. That 'few weeks' turned into 2 years of writing, rewriting, reworking, and new creation -- 6 short books total -- and here's what I learned: 'fast and fun' is harder than it looks -- but I'm proud of the work I've done. Book 1 is FREE until the 8th. Link in bio.

Today is the last day to pre-order Missed Fortunes! Remember, picking up a copy of Commit to the Kick (book 1) also counts towards the campaign goal.

Missed Fortunes by Tris Lawrence – Duck Prints Press

We're getting close! The campaign runs through the 28th, and we are currently at 86% funded. A few folks picking up the full package (both paperbacks and ebooks) would get us there. Several folks coming in for the ebooks... or one paperback... or a paperback and ebook combo... you get the idea.

And if you can't support or aren't interested, signal boosts are wonderful things, too!

We're closing in on the end of the pre-order period for Missed Fortunes.

It's the middle book of a trilogy, but you won't have to wait long for book three; it's coming end of summer!

This is so not a plot snippet, but I happen to love Trish and Del a lot for totally different reasons, and this meeting was fun to write.

Pick up your copy of the book (and of the first book if you haven't already) at https://buff.ly/3EJ4UhT
