With the current state of the world, myself and Kris Bryant have decided to relaunch Sapphics with the T to 1) raise money needed now more than ever to help our trans family 2) help everyone make their support very clear. Before we launch the sales page, we invite anyone in the sapphic book 1/2

For my nans anniversary, I buy scratch cards because it was her favourite gift to get. I bought them for every birthday and Christmas for her & now i continue that tradition. She had terrible luck & rarely won a thing. I won €4 after spending €20 so clearly I like continuing that tradition too 😅

Since our latest kiddo arrived I’ve had no time/energy to write. I’m still brimming with so many ideas, but having a four month old, two other kids, and working full time has me struggling to spend my little free time putting those ideas on a page. I’m stuck with the feeling of falling behind, 1/4

It’s my twice yearly time that I remember I have a newsletter and need to send it out! If you want to get all the awesome news or random musings from myself, sign up now before it goes out later today (if I forget, reread this tomorrow…) eepurl.com/h0k4Zr

Airport time waiting for my flight to Bristol for Weston Super Sapphic. Yes I’m far too early because I’m always terrified of being late, but perfect time to get some airport writing in ✨✍️

I got so much birthday Lego 😍

Preorders for Truly Home are now live ahead of Weston-Super-Sapphic 2023 😍❤️ I am so proud of this book and can’t wait to introduce it to you all. I’ll be sad to say goodbye to my Truly world, but couldn’t have asked for a better story to end it on. www.boldstrokesbooks.com/books/truly-...
