I got hit with a pretty big E.R bill for my daughter (thanks healthcare) and my computer after only a year, is already on the fritz. All of this before the holidays and, surprise surprise, my husband is going to be laid off for a bit right after Christmas. Most of you have already bought my game and stories but reblogs would be wonderful.

Welcome to the Night Market. Book 1 in a series. The Night Market is an interactive fiction novel in which you awaken to a lantern filled world with no memory of how you got there. Desperate to get home, you must find the gate that leads back to your world, while navigating a foreign land, rife with political intrigue, arbitrary rules and secrets designed to keep you distracted. Nine barons rule the market , a place so vast that not even they can truly know its scope. But, one baron holds the key to your safe return home. Yet, no one has seen or heard from them in over a decade.

For Pride as a Special Treat™ I'm buying a BLAZE of my queer murder mystery novel! 🤩 PLEASE LOOK UPON IT!

I love cozy mysteries but there is a distinct lack of them in queer/furry spaces, so I wrote one 😌 You can find it on lovely indy press Furplanet at the link below! 4 illustrations and covers by @jayfitzmaurice

A Summer Vacation to Die For

Dr. Ino Reamer has a lot of plans for his summer vacation — relaxing, working out, trying to conquer the crushing ennui of his 30s. Solving a murder was not part of these plans. But when a colleague's grim demise very nearly ends Ino's tenure, the hyena can't help but apply the scientific method to his search for the truth. When a few suspicious characters take note of Ino's investigation, the case takes on a new urgency, and now Ino must crack the case before Finals Week becomes his final week! 😱

386 pages, rated R (murder off screen)

(you CAN get it on Amazon but please support my independent publisher!!)

"Enthralling murder mystery? Check. Loveable furry characters? Check. Adorable/cheesy romance? Double-check. If you share any of these interests, I highly recommend picking up this book, you won't regret it!" - review

This is part 1 of a planned 4 part series so please watch me for updates on my upcoming books. I am a small author so I appreciate the support - please follow and reblog and like and share and subscribe and whatever else we do these days!

Tidbits and bobs#1

Essentially my version of a lore dump

- All sentient machines, regardless of where they are built or their origin, believe in a singular deity named Lady. She is the station pilot for the Grand Terminus, the last stop for all sentient machines. Lady is seen as equal parts God and grim reaper and can appear in a multitude of forms, from locomotive to tug boat. She claims all sentient machines as her children and is believed to be very kind and gentle. This belief system has aspects of reincarnation, as it is believed that the soul of the machines shall be forged anew and come to incarnate a new form of vehicle or machine.

- Lady may choose a "guardian" to help with more earthly affairs on her behalf. It is unclear what they stand guard over, however.

- It is believed that Lady watches over the Isle of Sodor, as machinery built there seems to have a higher chance of sentience. However, this is both unproven and unconfirmed.

Ok enough lady stuff I just wanted to talk about her (she's neat)

- Thomas's route takes him all the way to Tidmouth and he often brings the townsfolk to their big city jobs.

- The official NWR freight engine livery is the green and red stripes, as worn by Henry and Percy.

- Percy has been requested as a guest of honor for at least 52 weddings and he has attended 34.

- The original Ulfstead Castle was destroyed in a landslide in 1991. The new Ulfstead Castle was built in 2000 and is part estate, railway, and museum, all orchestrated by the Earl of Sodor, Sir Robert Norramby.

- May 11th is Sodor Day, which marks the end of a week-long festival for all things Sudrian. Also, May 11th and Christmas Day are the only times the NWR intentionally reduces its services.

- In 2000, Sodor's Council passed a law allowing the marriage of sentient machines.

- The volunteers on the Talyllyn railway often send gag jokes or pranks to the workers of the SKR. The biggest prank yet was when they swapped Sir Handel with Sir Haydn (with permission from both the Thin Controller and the Talyllyn Preservation Society) and waited to see how long it would take someone to notice. Sir Haydn was on Sodor for 2 weeks and was found out by Duncan, who was suspicious as to why "Handel" was being so polite to him.

- Out of all the famous eight engines, Gordon is the one who dislikes his TV theme song the most. He claims that "it wasn't grand enough."

- Thomas's favorite TV episode is "Thomas and the Jet Engine." On multiple occasions, he has begged the Fat Controller to let him recreate the episode, just so he can say he is the fastest engine on Sodor.

- Edward is the unofficial father of Thomas, Bill, Ben, Rosie, Philip, and Ryan.

- Gordon is surprisingly good at giving advice. He has even given Edward some kind words.

- Boco is the official secondary for the Wild Nor'wester.

- Sodor is a sanctuary for sentient machines, and as such, Crovan's Gate Works can fix just about any type of machine in the world, whether it's diesel, steam, electric, gasoline, kerosene, or hydrogen. Bring them any type of motive power, and they can fix it in no time flat.

- During the purge of steam, Henry and later Murdoch often smuggled engines onto Sodor, attached to the ends of their freight trains.

My second novel, Two is a Pattern, is now available! If you're a Kindle Unlimited user, both Two is a Pattern and Honey in the Marrow are back in KU. You can also buy the paperback on Amazon if you want to hold it in your hot little hands.

Thank you to everyone who consistently supports my journey by reading, reviewing, or reblogging. It truly means the world to me and other small authors.

Here's what Two is a Pattern is all about:

A mission gone wrong leads to rising-star CIA operative Annie Weaver quitting her job and reinventing herself as a college student. But the CIA, desperate for her skills, refuses to let her go without a price. Annie finds herself juggling classes in Criminology and falling for her beautiful landlord, Professor Helen Everton, while dealing with off-the-books secret missions for an increasingly controlling ex-boss. As the perceptive Helen circles ever closer to the truth, Annie has to figure out how to keep her freedom without putting Helen in danger—and without revealing her own past.

Happy reading!

I'm not very far into "the borrow a boyfriend club" but so far I'm convinced it's just queer Ouran high-school host club. In ouran the main character is a girl pretending to be a boy, in this book the main character is a trans guy, in both media the club's members are introduced as archetypes girls might like and in both cases the MC ends up falling in love with the club leader

Character Profiles #1

Who better to start with than good old number 1?

• Name: Thomas

• Age: 73 (acts more like 13)

• History: Thomas was built on Sodor in 1950 and underwent trialing as Tidmouth's pilot for some years before rescuing James when his train ran away and earning the Ffarquhar branchline.

• History: He was built in 1930 for the LNER but later sold to a colliery in 1933, where he was numbered 1034. When the colliery went bankrupt in 1938, he was put into storage where he stayed until 1940. The War Department bought him for wartime service, and he was dispatched to Sodor where he died in 1945 during one of the last bombing runs of the war.

• Likes: Warm weather, classic rock, and pulling pranks.

• Dislikes: Snow, bossy people, and being pranked.

• Personality: Cheeky, sarcastic, jealous, and rude, but he has a heart of gold. Once you befriend him, he is loyal, kind, and tows the line between brave and stupid frequently.

Songs that remind me of my Thomas:

A poem by me:

If you know yourself,

Which ones would you choose?

To not have remembered it,

The event that attacked your being,

Bit by bit,

The time when it went downhill,

When you lost the good in it,

Or,

Come to your sinful sense,

About what you know,

But you choose not to believe,

And you choose not think,

If you really know yourself,

Are you even choosing an event?

I’ve been working on a webseries for a few months now. And as a friend had introduced me to Tumblr I thought I would share it. Super Shenanigans: Brighter Future is the 3rd, and best story in a small series that stared off as an Eeveelution Squad Fanfic.

The series is very slice of life. Each chapter’s just a new issue or something going on in their lives, as we see the shenanigans that play out with it. Sometimes it’s just Mia babysitting and trying to brighten the day of a shy little kid, maybe it’s Katie trying to open an interdimentional wormhole. Or maybe it’s just Sunshine being oblivious to the love her childhood best friend had

It’s mostly slice of life, with a lot of sci-fi, romance sprinkled in, a LOT of fluff, and sarcasm.
