"INKED" by J.J. Jackalope out now!!

Have you guys considered what the world might've be like if sometime a century ago, people started being born with ink embedded into their skin, and powers at their fingertips? No? Well you should start, because I have the new-age queer book for you.

Think X-Men meets coming-of-age meets a bit of Percy Jackson action.

My goal is to give a sense of belong to anyone whose eyes grace my work. I know how important rep is to every minority and I want to do everything I can to give that representation.

Check out my website to learn more and buy!

Here's the book blurb :)

After being in online school for the last four years, Scottlin Vincino starts his Junior year at a new private boarding school an hour from home. It should have been similar to any other in-person school-- but alas, they had everything Scottlin didn’t. 

A mark. 

He'll have to keep it a secret, but it gets tricky when you have a knack for ending up in the infirmary… Whether it be for the hot boy you just met, or you're swept up in one of the freak accidents at the school that seem to just keep happening. 

Scott will have to juggle his sexuality, his grades, and his new friends all while solving the mystery of what is happening to his new academy.

God I’m reading “check and mate” by Ali Hazelwood, and I know that this is her first YA novel…..but like, I’m in love? There’s this scene where the main girl’s mentor gives her a lecture about not quitting chess, and tells her about her past…where she was discriminated against by her peers. Where Kasparov, one of the biggest chess players of all time…..said that “WoMeN ArE ToO STupID fOr ChEsS” , and how discouraging it was for girls everywhere. The boys in her class wore shirts saying “a female chess player is an oxymoron”. That is so disrespectful, it would have ended me. I hate it so much.

And I’m like, crying…sobbing , because that’s the case for girls in almost every male dominated field. I’m currently pursuing an engineering degree….and all throughout my schooling I was made to feel like an outsider, like I was imposing my self on this “old boys club”, like I was never good enough. Us girlies would always be left out in group projects, because guys didn’t want to associate themselves with girls. Like we were the plague somehow. It happened so much that my performance started going down and I started believing that I didn’t belong here. But no more. I won’t let them bully me into quitting. 40% of women in STEM leave their careers after 10-15 years because of a hostile work environment. I don’t want to be in that statistic. I’ll do everything I can to encourage girls my age to take up math and science. I’m so tired of this patriarchal bullshit.

For the first time in a long time I’m not behind on work! I’m getting back into pleasure reading and am on the second book in The Deal series by Elle Kennedy. I must admit, she’s really good at character development and giving them more areas to grow than just in the romantic plot.

12/20 Queer Book Draw Challenge: Café con Lychee by @emeryleewho

[ID: a drawing of Gabi and Theo in pastels surrounded by a deep purple frame. One of Gabi's arms is around Theo's shoulder while he gestures enthusiastically. His face is open and excited. Theo smiles back at him, an eyebrow lifted slightly. Around them, a cup with a "Café con Lychee" logo pours a stylized wave of coffee with lychee jelly. End ID]

Cannot tell you how sick I am of people writing Peter Pan-inspired YA novels that make Peter the villain or Neverland some dark wasteland where creepy murderous/sexual things happen. Stop it. Peter's just a little boy who doesn't want to grow up. Wendy is a child who does not need to be turned into the next bland feminist icon. Hook is not the hero no matter how much you thirst. Neverland is not Peter's demonic sex house. It's just an island with magic and pirates and Indians. Stop it. You're not cool. It didn't need improving. You're not original. This is the fantasy author's equivalent of a Hot Topic emo phase. Be embarrassed. Leave Peter Pan alone.

If I knew how to write properly, I'd write a furry YA novel where the main character is aroace, so if she somehow ends up in a love triangle she'd just go "Nope." and then go back to overthrowing the government

#YA novel #aroace #for context i'm reading The Inventor's Secret and I'm not enjoying it so far #it's by Andrea Cremer btw #anyway #back to reading #toodles

YA Fantasy dynamic similar to this image below? Like Edan and Maia from Spin the Dawn, one character that springs to mind that has similar vibes to what I'm searching for, is Kaeya from Genshin Impact, any thoughts? Please respond.

My girlfriend and I are starting to explore finding new places to work. For some crazy reason she’s not that into cafes but she’s okay with working at Panera 🥴 No shade to Panera, but I’m just into the latte and low light vibe lol.

Anyways, today was productive and it was nice to be able to work together.

Just for Tumblr, I've made a PowerPoint with reasons to read my next book, Rotting Trees. Devastatingly I do not know how to add animations for the upload. Pretend there is a whooosh between every image.

You can read the prologue and join the fun here, and read about the project in general before committing here. Paid Patreon membership starts from £1/$1.50 USD, and you can trial for 7 days to sniff about all the other weird shit I share there!
