I'm a queer, neurodivergent Aussie, and I write friendship-centered epic SFF.

I have an epic, portal fantasy trilogy in which lost Aussies, an enby & aro-ace MC pool their autism/ADHD to understand mysterious enemies motives, combat monsters & magic & to pursue peace.

And I've just start releasing a SciFi-Fantasy series: Rarkin struggles to let feelings out & people in, as his budding career in monster containment intersects organised crime going rogue.

P.S. thanks everyone for being fluent in 'Elise brain fog typos.' I didn't notice anything wrong with that top post till about my sixth reading, 5 hours later 😆.

(ADHD and a chronic illness both involving brain fog symptoms here 😉)

I write a lot of queer cross genre books - urban fantasy/mystery, comedy/horror, mystery/fantasy/horror, all very gay.

@ElisesWritings you could @ bookstodon and @ an (indie) author group in your op to increase the reach :)

@Knien Thanks!

I'm Kell Shaw. I write urban fantasy—immersive, a little dark, with diverse characters having genuinely thrilling adventures. Mystery and horror tend to creep in.

The thing I care about most: identity, and deep found family relationships.

@kellshaw nice. I love writing and reading found family.

Thanks for the opportunity - looking forward to checking out some other authors in this thread!

@kellshaw you're welcome. I'll keep boosting it to see if we can get some more authors.

Love this logo! 😍

@ElisesWritings Thanks for doing this!

I'm a chronically ill SF/F/H romance and erotica writer.

Find my short stories and poetry on Medium https://medium.com/@QueenRubyJones
And Patreon https://patreon.com/rubyjones
where I am serialising my android romance novel, Synthetic Agency https://www.patreon.com/collection/1313927?view=expanded

I write spicy fantasy books in The Sussuran Chronicles and hot SF in the Android Ardour series.

And Smashwords https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/RubyJones6742

@rubyjones you're welcome! I wasn't sure how well people would see or get to opt into it, but people have been generous with boosts, so hopefully we can get a few authors on here.

Ruby Jones 23h ago

@ElisesWritings Oh, fuck, I misread this 🤦‍♀️ You only wanted buy-direct-from-authors stuff.

I was going to delete, but then you boosted - would you like me to?

Would Patreon count as direct-from-authors?

@rubyjones my brain fog's so bad I didn't clock that 😆. Patreon's fine, and Smashwords is (or was at least) indie enough and tends to pay as well as direct, so maybe redo it with those 2? I'm happy to boost the new one.

@ElisesWritings Cool - I got distracted, but will go make a cup of tea and edit the post!

@ElisesWritings I'm an NB, neurodivergent Scot, and I write humorous SFF and creepy horror.

My main series (albeit only 2 books so far) is about the tackiest cruise ship in the galaxy and the political shenanigans it gets caught up in. Silly but also hopefully exciting with a bit of murder mystery and a touch of found family vibe.

@dppunforth hey I didn't know your were either! I mostly hang out on WritersCoffeeClub prompts in these parts, so I'm rarely seen in the wild 😉

unforth | Duck Prints Press 18h ago

@ElisesWritings meanwhile I've ended up in a small circle mostly comprised of people I share fandoms with, in part because I wasn't able to get my hands on a wandering.shop account and also my first instance disappeared one day so I had to restart from scratch. :D Mastodon is on my daily check list, tho, so I'm here pretty often!

Elise (they/ them)🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈17h ago

@dppunforth that's a pain about your first one! I can give you a Wanderingshop one if you like, but from memory that pretty much means you have to re-follow people and start the new account from scratch? -that's where I'm looking forward to Northsky on Bsky, where you jump ship but take everything with you.

unforth | Duck Prints Press 17h ago

@ElisesWritings yeah, I'd have to start over again. S'ok, I'm happy with where I'm settled now. <3 Thanks for offering tho!

@dppunforth @ElisesWritings FWIW You can migrate Mastodon accounts. Fairly easily. It’s in the account settings. Super handy.

unforth | Duck Prints Press 16h ago

@jwilker @ElisesWritings oh, interesting. 🤔

It's not something I've got time to even think about rn but I will definitely make a note for future!me. I really would prefer to be in a more author-oriented instance.

thank you!!
