Book Talk: Keeper of the Dawn
I… am afraid I can’t really remember how Dianna Gunn’s Keeper of the Dawn came onto my radar first. I do remember seeing that a bunch of my friends weren’t that impressed with it when they read it, so I chose to let the details sink away from memory so I could more fairly assess […]

Book Talk: Dreamhearth
Dreamhearth is the third book in the Dreamhealers series by M.C.A. Hogarth. You can, conceivably, read it without having read Mindtouch or Mindline, but I wouldn’t recommend it as you’d be missing out on delightful worldbuilding and character-building for the main characters: Vasiht’h and Jahir. This book picks up some time after Mindline and follows […]

Book Talk: The Cybernetic Tea Shop
I admit that, despite a friend really liking this story, I still approached it with trepidation. I trust my friend’s opinions, but this story does use the “ace = robot” trope and it’s how I approach the trope in general. I’m very glad to say that I really liked it. ^_^ Just, be aware, that […]

Livetweeting Sera Myu Starlights – Legend of the Shooting Stars
Here‘s the Storify of the Starlights musical, the penultimate musical of the second stage of Sera Myu musicals. It was a lot of fun. It wasn’t perfect with narrative strands kind of falling slightly to the wayside in the second half because there just wasn’t enough room to let them breathe, but I really liked […]
Book Talk: Lambs Can Always Become Lions
Lambs Can Always Become Lions by Charlotte Anne Hamilton is an f/f retelling of Robin Hood packed full of diversity and I wish, more than anything, that it had been a full-length novel. I would have loved to have seen more of Robin and Marian’s relationship as well as more of Robin’s relationship to her […]

Book Talk: We Awaken
We Awaken by Calista Lynne is a book that made it onto my radar largely because it’s developed into one of the go-to books on recommendation lists for asexuality. It’s an #ownvoices f/f paranormal romance which explicitly labels both protagonists as asexual in both the blurb and the story. I was… really surprised by the […]

Book Talk: Knit One, Girl Two
Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman is absolutely adorable. It’s a Jewish f/f story between a yarn dyer and an artist and if you ever need a comfort read or a fluffy pick-me-up or just a soft, warm blanket to curl up in this novella has you covered. If you’ve discovered Shira’s work through […]

Game Talk: Dream Daddy
It’s that time! I finally talk about something that’s not books (or Sera Myu) again! OMG! And… Okay, it probably will surprise people that what I’m talking about is a dating simulator, but come on. I think just about everyone on my Twitter timeline was/is playing it at the moment I write this and it’s […]

Book Talk: The Goose Girl
The Goose Girl came onto my radar because a friend recommended it to me both because I love the fairytale it retells and because it features a demisexual protagonist, especially an m/f romance from a queer publisher. (OMG! I think this is maybe the first time I’ve seen a queer romance publisher acknowledge that m/f […]

Rerelease: A Promise Broken
A Promise Broken Available as Ebook and Print editions As of today, A Promise Broken is published through The Kraken Collective, a collective of several awesome queer indie authors I’m delighted to be a part of. WHOOHOO! This is something I’ve utterly failed to talk about a lot, and I’m sorry about that. It’s been fairly hectic the […]
