When my cat wants dinner early (he always does), he tries to rip up any nearby paper to get my attention. I just heard paper ripping and ran to find him tearing into the only loose paper I’d left out—the eviction notice. Yeah, buddy, go to town.

Yves had many, many flings. Charon had one puppy-love romance in his past, which will feature as a crucial experience early in the book.

Haha just got an eviction notice. They’re evicting all the low-income residents so they can renovate the apts and raise the rent by $600. I don’t want to push our books by saying “hey, help a trans man find a place to live,” but if you notice some extra promo happening, that’s probably why.

Yves is not Charon’s type when they first meet. Love sneaks up on Charon slowly, and he doesn’t realize how bad he has it until they’re practically living with each other.

It should go without saying, but just in case: We are VERY anti-AI. It steals art from real people and destroys the planet while it does so.

We keep meaning to do something with a spider demon, and every time it comes up, we have to cut it for plot or pacing reasons. One day, spider demon! One day!!!

Bad dysphoria day + chronic pain knocking on my door like a power-hungry HOA member = not the best combo But then an indie acoustic version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” starts playing on the radio and I am startled out of the gloom in pure confusion

Flick the demon fox eats books, blurts out people’s secrets, and is poor Hektor’s incredibly loud best friend. People in Staria are starting to get a very skewed idea of how demons behave.

The one set of footprints in the sand is when Laurent de Rue carried Charon and Yves’ relationship while simultaneously arranging a ball, a party in a hedge maze, and several other city-wide contests.

Even just knowing that Queer elders are out there can be a comfort sometimes. My dad recently told me about running into an elderly trans man pushing 100. 100!

For the Starian cycle, Sabre would be a lawful good fighter who doesn’t realize he’s in a political intrigue campaign, and Laurent would be a neutral good cleric who dumps all his stats into charisma and keeps losing his spell cards.

The neighbors have a cat (who yes, is wandering around loose and hiding under cars 😬)and she has taken to hanging around outside the Foxglove residence. Our cats HATE her. She is their enemy. Their nemesis. The tiny tabby dark lord.

perennial reminder that the best thing you can do after supporting an indie author is to leave a review on a sales page, review website, or simply make a post on your preferred social media platform to let others know you enjoyed it! word of mouth is the #1 way we find new readers, so do your part!
