I thought of how the world can be anything and how sad it is that it’s this.

21 days until sequel releases!
Book 1 synopsis:
It's the apocalypse, and Feng has a knack for pissing people off.
Mercenary Feng is both the hunter and the hunted, searching for his missing family while hunted by the alien intruders who are trying to get him to stop blowing their shit up.
Life gets worse when he must befriend one of the alien creatures to survive. She grew up on stories of humans, and Feng’s about to upend everything she's ever known—if they don't get each other killed first.
"Readers may appreciate the many twists and betrayals..." —Kirkus Reviews
"Action-packed, fast-paced sci-fi story bursting with psychological games and manipulations..." —Readers' Favorite

(Re) Intro
If you're already subscribed to this blog, don't fret. I'm not a glitch. You might remember me as This Accidental Hipster, from eons ago. I was the university kid with sensory processing disorder who made a viral post about eating raspberries with a Hannibal twist. T'was a golden era.
I'm Lys Morton, a QueerCanLit journalist located on the west coast. You can usually find me writing for The Discourse, a community focused news organization. I've also been known to publish Queer Normalcy fiction, essays on transition, and tales of masculinity shenanigans.
In the age of Twitter migration, I thought I'd come back this way and see what community I can create here.
I'll see you on the flip side.

OUT NOW: Tasting Much Sweeter Than Wine by Daisy Fairchild
In the forest surrounding Eden’s Hollow, there’s magic brewing. Wren may not be magical herself, but when she finds herself lost under a canopy of trees, it’s the light of a small cabin that attracts her. On the other side of the door is an enchanting and intoxicating kind of spellcraft, brewed by the older woman she’s crushed on for years. If Wren thought the forest could be dangerous at night, she’s about to learn just what kind of good trouble she can fall into.
A short WLW fantasy story set in the original magical world of Eden’s Hollow.
Previously published in Shackin’ Up: Short Stories of Queer Romance and Forced Proximity

Read an excerpt: Destination Unknown by Bill Konigsberg
From Stonewall Award winner Bill Konigsberg, a remarkable, funny, sexy, heartbreaking story of two teen boys finding each other in New York City at the height of the AIDS epidemic.
It's 1987 in New York City, and Micah is at a dance club, trying to pretend he's more out and outgoing than he really is. C.J. isn't just out -- he’s complete out there, and Micah can't help but be both attracted to and afraid of someone who travels so loudly and proudly through the night.
A connection occurs. Is it friendship? Romance? Is C.J. the one with all the answers... or does Micah bring more to the relationship that it first seems? As their lives become more and more entangled in the AIDS epidemic that’s laying waste to their community, and the AIDS activism that will ultimately bring a strong voice to their demands, whatever Micah and C.J. have between them will be tested, strained, pushed, and pulled -- but it will also be a lifeline in a time of death, a bond that will determine the course of their futures.
In Destination Unknown, Bill Konigsberg returns to a time he knew well as a teenager to tell a story of identity, connection, community, and survival.

Coming out July 23rd: Let Me Count the Flowers A story about office crushes, work buddies, and how flowers can do a lot more than sit there looking pretty. 🌸🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘️ Ever since earning his accounting degree, Cody McIntyre has bounced from temp job to temp job. For almost a year now, he's been the receptionist at Coffee Brews Distribution, and his contract with them expires in exactly twelve days. Hoping to stay with the company, Cody's interviewed for a permanent position that's recently became available. If he gets it, not only will it save him the aggravation of having to find a new job, he'll get to keep working with his awesome coworkers, especially fun, easy-going, and attractive Shane Wilson. But when someone starts leaving flowers with special meanings on his desk every morning, Cody doesn't know what to think, and can't even begin to speculate who they're from. And when he realizes how hard he's been crushing on Shane, he can only hope he gets good news sometime in the next twelve days--bright and beautiful as all the lovely flowers. Will Cody ever find out who his secret admirer is? Or will he have to leave the company without ever solving the mystery? #books #lgbtq #authors #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #comingsoon #queerbooks #queerfiction #queerauthor #queerlit https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfk80X3s-Uf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aging has changed me. Relationships have changed me. Hormones have changed me. Trauma has changed me. A body is a mobile home. A body is a slow time machine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the wake of her scandalous wedding debacle, Astrid Parker has one more shot to save her reputation: redesign the Everwood Inn on national tv. But sparks fly when she and lead carpenter, Jordan Everwood, clash at every step. A worthy sequel to DGDC, AHB’s writing gets stronger all the time. Astrid’s story is for all the late bloomers to remember: it’s never too late to find yourself. Full post at pridepages.tumblr.com/masterlist 🏳️🌈 Rep: f/f relationship, bisexuality, lesbianism, coming out, late blooming, and HGTV style tv shows. #astridparkerdoesntfail #ashleyherringblake #bookstagram #lgbtreads #queerlit #wlw #sapphic #lgbtqia #bisexual #lesbian https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPfWrzrFP1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What's your favourite trope?
29 days to go! I'm super excited for Earth Sucks's sequel to release. And to show off all the teasers! If you have something in particular you want to see, maybe books quotes, trope lists, whatever you can think of, let me know!
These are a few of the things you can expect in the queer apocalypse. Cheske and Diem lovers, you're about to hate me and love me LOL .

Early readers called Bloemetje “transporting” and “intriguing.” The “journey is beautiful,” and the ending is “deeply satisfying.” “A great escape read that also made me think, and it’s both quick and engrossing.”

OUT NOW: Leaves of Absence by Opal Moritz
When stressed-out office worker Doug arrives at a remote cabin for a holiday, he’s planning on meditating, reading, and avoiding his email. What he doesn’t expect is Easton — his boss’ wife’s personal trainer, a blond, perky, juicer-toting ball of good vibes that even Doug’s grumpiness can’t defend against. Now the two of them are stuck together in very close quarters, and Doug’s beginning to realize that there may be more to life than constantly working.

When I first started writing my YA novel, All Kinds of Other, it was early 2016, and transgender equality seemed to be making great strides. There was a sympathetic president in office, federal protections, more inclusive language… I wondered if the problems my young characters encountered would even be relevant to teen readers when it was published. Progress always moves forward, right?
Cut to 2023.
There are more than 300 bills circulating at this moment through Republican-controlled state legislatures (Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, South Dakota… it’s relentless), aimed squarely at harassing, demonizing, and even eradicating the trans community. Outlawing medical care, policing restrooms and locker rooms, even criminalizing parents and doctors who are trying to help their children get the gender-affirming care they need. It’s fear-mongering and cynical political opportunism at its worst, paid for by vulnerable trans kids, their friends, families, and larger communities. It’s all part of a larger plan to suppress nonconformity and stifle our individual freedoms by policing queer bodies.
The trans community has always been on the forefront of the LGBTQ struggle for equality. It’s time to step up for them: our trans siblings; our trans parents; our trans children; our trans friends. Be an ally. Push back against hate. Stay informed (@chasestrangio @alokvmenon @therealalexandrabillings @pinkmantaray are good people to follow) Donate. Reach out. Vote.
