Hi, I'm Bel, a queer elder goth who writes about alternate histories where queer people were openly part of society and women could have agency. WIP is Her Runaway Lady, a sapphic romance set in Paris during a Belle Epoque That Never Was. #indieauthor

Lesbian characters? How about a couple of milliners in 1880s France? One is a runaway noble, the other a working class girl. #sapphicromance It's my WIP Her Runaway Lady.

I would want to be able to read a book again for the first time. Getting to redo that rush of reading an amazing book. Yeah.

Solange and Louise-Marie are milliners so fashion is HUGE for them both. There is major bonding over pretty hats. #sapphichistoricalromance WIP

I hope enough people do this to send a message to the oligarchs. There are more of us than them. We have the ultimate power by not purchasing their stuff.

PSA: I maintain a list of upcoming queer SF/F/H book releases (link below). Self-pub/indie books can be harder to find, so if you’ve got a gen-AI-free queer SF/F/H book coming out and it’s not on my list yet, please let me know and I’ll add it! 🌈📚 #Booksky kilagreene.dreamwidth.org/1615.html

Just back from a scientific conference where my federal colleagues were told at the last moment that they couldn't attend, effectively muzzling them. I'm not one for protests but I'm going to my state capitol today 7 March 2025 to #standupforscience Good science helps everyone. 🧪
