Just finished reading Magica Riot: Full Bloom, which I started immediately after finishing the first book in the series, and it had me experiencing All The Emotions!

Definitely recommend if you like magical girl anime, queer and trans characters being cute and kicking ass, and really heartfelt writing.

I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize.

It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore elements of Queer experience. I especially enjoyed writing for this year's theme, 'Turning the names inside out', and I can't wait to share more.

They never built statues of us. But we left signs: a cracked CD-ROM, a carved name in a desk, a username that never logged in again.
My first blog post is live: “Him, They, Them, and Us.” A love letter, an archive, and a refusal to be forgotten.

The Difference Between Admiration and Sexual Attraction

Not every pull is desire.
Sometimes we’re just seeing a part of ourselves in someone else — a trait we admire, a light we haven’t owned.

I wrote about how admiration can feel like attraction, and how time helped me see the difference.

Returning to an idea which already has a potential publisher.

First pitched it to said publisher in December 2021!

When I write a novel, my characters come to life. I give each of them a name, a style of speech, a personality, a physical appearance. They have strengths, flaws, firm identities.

What’s defeating me this time? Is it the dreaded comma? Too many expletives? Metric versus Imperial? What kind of dash to use?! (Spoilers: there’s more than one.)
No, it’s one simple yet very important thing: pronouns.

I forgot to post here that I had come second for Midsumma's Pearl Prize 🥈
This year's theme was artificial intelligence and I write queer scifi, so had to partake!
