I'm an ace author. These are my ace books. They're on sale for the next week or so as part of the Itch Halloween Sale. I think they're pretty good. If you hate tech bros and megacorps, and love autistic ace protags, you'll probably like 'em too. itch.io/s/208755/hal...

magic caught at the edges of his awareness. It crackled through a particular anchor stone and buzzed along its connection to him, seizing him where he sat. It smelled of dust and stone, like an ancient tomb, and in an instant it had drawn his mind far from breakfast and regrettable company #WIPSnips

Reality consists of seven Heaven Spheres, nine Hell Spheres, and one Mortal Realm. It used to be nine, nine, and three, but when Lucifer killed his brother and Fell, two Heavens collapsed and compressed the Mortal worlds into one. #octoberworldbuilders

Akieryon is afraid of being imprisoned again. Tharaiyelagh is afraid of failing people who count on him. Baleirithys is afraid of becoming like his father. Rahi is afraid of losing himself to his illness. #awesomecharacters

Happy Asexual Awareness Week! Please check out my book The Map and the Territory, which has an aroace protagonist. As an ace person myself, Rukha is so special to me--she's full of love and curiosity and wonder for the world, even when it breaks. bsky.app/profile/amtu...

My head hurts. Could be migraine! Could be dehydration! Could be low iron! Time to experiment on myself and find out I guess.

Important message for anyone who doesn't want to spend all their time online being annoyed. That's not a life. No one wants that.

I need to organize my craft space for real this week. Wish me luck. #scribesunited

Davenz doesn’t have spooky season, but in the autumn Akieryon loves to go to Broad Bend for cider and apple cheese soup. #lgbtqwriteathon

#queerprompts Tools of the Trade:

Ok today is nuts at work. I have to lock in. But first...quick plug for my short story! With Halloween just around the corner, pick up this TSANPFL short story. It's free on Itch! rnpopa.itch.io/halloween-ni...

#queerprompts Balances:

“You have thoughts,” he said carefully. When had he begun to worry that he might spook one of his closest friends? Feriel gave him a brief, hunted look. Raaqiel adjusted his approach. “I’ve been looking at this the wrong way around. If we find Seikhiel, we’ll learn what the others want.” #WIPSnips

Does the world suck right now? You bet it does! Want a distraction? One that's free? Of course you do! www.patreon.com/ddwardiswriting

The salve tingled, but it was the warmth of Van-Dal’s caresses that soothed his tense muscles until Tharaiyelagh felt like he might melt away into the ground. “Why are you so kind to me?” The words tumbled out without permission, and Tharaiyelagh frowned after them. Van-Dal scoffed. #sniptober

Found family! Balances is entirely about a character who has always been alone finding where he belongs, and with whom. The family Tharaiyelagh finds in Tools of the Trade is a group of people he would fight to protect. #lithodgepodge

I hope that readers come away from Balances with a warm feeling. It’s about belonging, and finding home. Tools of the Trade, though, is about navigating the world when social cues are a mystery. Maybe “settled after having been wrong-footed”? I’ll know more when it’s done. #octoberworldbuilders

My toxic author trait is: I get angry at most writing advice for being reductive and unhelpful. You?

Entitlement. A character with an overblown sense of entitlement crosses that line from love to hate to just hate. That’s the secret sauce. I don’t know if I’ve written any characters I love to hate. #awesomecharacters

Happy asexual awareness week! It’s once again time for you to become aware of me and my books. Next week you can go back to forgetting, but this week you legally have to pay attention to me sorry I don’t make the rules 💜🤍🩶🖤

Balances: woodsmoke, apples, and cold empty space Tools of the Trade: charcoal, beeswax, butter, and cardamom

Akieryon lies a lot in Balances. He lets people believe he’s human (he’s not). He claims to be an expert about politics (he’s not). He even lies to himself at first. Tempest, on the other hand, really only lies to Akieryon that once, but it’s a whopper (and a spoiler). #lithodgepodge

Tharaiyelagh had begun to feel a little too comfortable in the darkness of these buried corridors. Like home. Like the caverns where his brother had guided his first halting steps. It all felt a little claustrophobic, a little clammy and dusty. This time, though, he had enough to eat. #WIPSnips

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" I made the Murderbot meme.

Art share! Enci with Baleirithys in the background. Tempest sharing his feelings about romance. Baleirithys with a lot of jewelry. All art by me. #awesomecharacters
