Hello! I'm one of the judges for the @FreeTheLGBT profile's annual PRIDE AWARDS! This is a fun contest to celebrate queer-focussed books and bump up your reading lists with summer reads, and of course the grand winner will get their book promoted on the @FreeTheLGBT Profile and in the community's Rainbow Book Club!

The epilogue of PARASITE is uploaded! Thanks so much for 3k reads and for supporting this book throughout ONC! The book is currently at 41k words so I'll do a good haircut before submitting to ONC. 
          
          I can't believe that I have written 40k words in three months! Even if I forget to submit the book to ONC next week, writing so much this year already is such a huge achievement for me (although I am very tired and my kids and man are basically feral by now hahahaaaa)
          
          Best of luck to everyone who still has time to keep going with the contest!

The final chapter of PARASITE (minus an epilogue that I am writing tonight!) is here! Finally this book is done! The full story is 42k words so I will cut hard this weekend to get it under 40k. 
          
          I can't believe that I am actually going to continue ONC for one more round, and I really can't believe that I FINISHED A BOOK before May. That's not usually what happens to me lol 
          
          Thanks to all who have been reading along - I really hope that this ending is every bit the climax you've been waiting for!

Hello! Sorry for two messages in one day!
          
          Just to let you know that now that DMs are being closed, I have writing corners on two Discord servers where you can find my chapter updates, character notes and other information about my books and writing life - links below!
          
          My main writing corner is in the Rainbow Bookclub (part of the FreetheLGBT community profile) Server. This is a fun and safe place to find fellow LGBT writers and allies, with a focus on reading each other's queer-positive books.
          
          https://discord.gg/U7R8EeMamC
          
          My other writing corner is on Literary Lounge - this is a big but relaxed reading and writing community, with a huge range of readers, artists, hobbyist authors like me, and even established career authors too. If you want somewhere to chat about all manner of art, linguistics and literature, then this is a lovely place!

Hello! The penultimate chapter of my queer cyberpunk novella, PARASITE, is up! Only one chapter to go and 2.5k words allowed for the final chapter to stick to the 40k limit, aaaaargh. 
          
          I was so fast updating chapters at the beginning of this book, but these final few chapters have been like pulling teeth! This is why I cannot pants haha. Time to pull a finale out of my a**e before next Tuesday lol
