The fate of the world is at stake... but nobody is listening.

✨Read the book readers are comparing to Priory of the Orange Tree and The Left Hand of Darkness✨

Hierarchy of the Unseen is a queer fantasy novel about a shiftless demon named Kor and a devout demon hunter named Mitzli who must team up to avert a wave of demonic violence.

If you like character-driven fantasy with immersive worldbuilding, trans protagonists whose stories aren't centered around transphobia, and fresh takes on demons and vampires, then this is the book for you!

Reviewers are calling it "addictive, immersive," "fresh, and engaging," with a "richly realized, exciting world and interesting central dilemma," whose protagonists "feel distinct and real" and "make a great comedic duo."

You can pick up a copy here (to support two queer, trans authors during Pride month!) or read the full blurb and check out reviews on Goodreads or Storygraph.

My feelings for this book are complicated. The first time I started reading this back in 2022, was just after my grandma had passed away and I wasn’t really in the right headspace to be reading it. So I dnf’ed it. But now, having picked it back up more than a year later I really enjoyed it.

I loved Dex and Mosscap’s banter and philosophical discussions. They felt like friends even when they were just getting to know each other. One of my absolute favorite scenes from this whole book was the one at the end, where Mosscap made Dex tea and listened to them. It was really comforting.

This was cozy and really had me thinking the whole time I read it. So I think I’m gonna give this one a solid four stars. I’m looking forward to what adventures Dex and Mosscap get up to in the next one.

Tumblr Cover Reveal

There Is No Place For A Dandy On A Pirate Ship

Nat should be doing what dandies do best: creating fashion, trading information, working on the edges of high society to further their own aims, and flirting with scandal. Instead, they're in the bowels of a ship, captured by pirates intent on ransoming them back to their family as soon as they find out to which family they should send the letter. Unfortunately for all involved, Nat knows one thing the pirates can never be allowed to find out: They are unransomable. Their family has plenty enough money to pay any ransom, but Nat's father sent them to sea in the first place, put them in the path of these pirates, because he wanted Nat out of the way. Ransoms create scandal. Nat can't afford another

My pirate novel is now available for pre-order both in signed paperbacks from me and in unsigned regular paperback and ebooks from other retailers.

If you're looking for links, Tumblr can be tricky with those so I'm gonna throw them in a reblog but you can use my pinned post to get to my website where all the links always are.

Can you recommend any books about non-binary identity other than your own? I just finished "Gender Queer", and intend to buy a copy as a present for a family member who's trying to wrap her head around the concept, but if you know of any other material on the subject I'd really appreciate it.

Hello, yes! Here are some other books you could try:

Sissy: A Coming of Gender Story by Jacob Tobia, a prose memoir

She Wants It: Desire, Power and Toppling the Patriarchy by Jill Soloway, a prose memoir

A Year Without a Name: A Memoir by Cyrus Grace Dunham, a prose memoir

Carework: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, a series of prose essays

Femme in Public by Alok Vaid-Menon, a poetry collection

Pansy by Andrea Gibson, a poetry collection

The Gender Creative Child: Pathways for Nurturing and Supporting Children Who Live Outside Gender Boxes by Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, prose nonfiction

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Leguin, prose sci-fi

Out of Salem by Hal Schrieve, young adult fiction (light horror elements)

Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor, literary fiction

Grease Bats by Archie Bongiovanni, slide of life humor comics

Across A Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti, sci-fi comic

All of the above are books I have already read. Below are three I haven't read yet, but they come so well reviewed I feel confident recommending them:

Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon, nonfiction prose

Fine: A Comic About Gender by Rhea Ewing, nonfiction comic

Gender: A Graphic Guide by Meg-John Baker and Jules Scheele, nonfiction comic

excerpt from chapter four:

Hellfire

“How does a person make a deal with a demon?” Kye asked. 

Laughter rumbled up and out of him. “Depends. Sometimes it’s bloody, sometimes it’s. . .” He trailed his claw across the band of their cotton underwear. “. . .sad, or sexual, or messy. Sometimes there’s a sacrifice—a stand-in—but I think that’s fuckin’ cowardly.” 

“What? A nice, fat goat wouldn’t be good enough?” 

“No.” 

“Then tell me what I need to do.” 

“Pray.” His raspy voice came from every corner of the room, landed like a whisper on their ear, boomed ferociously in their skull. 

That single syllable vibrated the house. Rattled their bones like nightclub bass. They felt it in their core, between their legs, high in their throat. 

Pray, little one.

Their head spun, too light and too crowded. Before they could rationalize, before they had the chance to think, Kye’s legs buckled, and they sank to their knees in the middle of the living room. 

“Glory be to—” They stiffened, suddenly silenced by Eli’s palm. 

He appeared before them, covering their mouth, and leaned down. Horns shadowed his angular face and his toned, broad shoulders loomed over them.

“Eligos,” he said, nodding slowly, and dropped his hand from their mouth. “The merciless.” 

“Eligos, the merciless.” 

“Duke of Hell.” 

Adrenaline rushed through Kye and woke them like a bucket of cold water. “Duke of Hell,” they whispered, and told their body to stop trembling. “Accept me, banished child of Eve, and grant me—” 

“Freedom,” he said, in place of forgiveness. 

Kye met his inquisitive eyes and found hunger in his steady gaze. “Freedom.” They tipped their chin, guided upward by his bent knuckle. “Turn thine most gracious eyes toward me and guide me from exile. Give me strength. . .” They paused over the new words, replacements they weren’t accustomed to. “Great duke,” they said, annunciating defiantly, “and find me wanting.” Heat climbed into their face, but they didn’t flinch at the intrusion of his thumb, sliding slowly over their bottom lip. “Find me worthy.” 

Eli leaned closer, grinning wickedly. “Worthy of what, sweetheart?” 

They couldn’t help it, couldn’t stop the curiosity and desire pushing against the underside of their skin. They’d gone this far, hadn’t they? There was no going back. Kye touched their tongue to his claw. 

“You,” they said, and let their lips close around his thumb. 

Eli stayed perfectly still. Candlelight haloed his wide frame and fissures opened on his face, his sternum, his hipbones. Like magic, his clothes became shadow, disappearing in curls of smoke, and his body—less human, more ghoulish—sliced through the darkness. Kye tried not to look below his navel. In the morning, they’d wake up in a new life. An afterlife. They’d kill who they’d been—die, finally—keep their promise to themself, fulfill the destiny their family had designed for them, and begin again. 

For years, they’d tried to outrun this. Exactly this. Lived fast. Knew the cost. Ran from it, then back to it. Eligos was a way out of who they’d been; a perfect opportunity to welcome blasphemy.

Kye Lovato. Someone powerful. 

He slipped his thumb out of their mouth and curled his hand around their throat, pulling gently. “Get up.” 

Kye got to their feet, wobbling on unsteady legs. What now? Thoughts whirled. They imagined they’d stay on their knees, choke on him, get pushed to their back and spread their legs, bare themself for him. But he simply watched them, amber eyes flicking around their face, and nodded slowly. 

They were trapped in his gaze—caged prey—and startled at the stroke of his fingers, tracing the cleft of their cunt over their damp underwear. 

“Open your mouth,” he said. 

Their legs shook, but they did as they were told. Eli stepped closer and leaned down. His lips touched theirs, just barely.

This was really good! The snark and the banter and the softness got me right in the feels. I loved that Xander and Milo were such dumbasses around each other and that Milo fell first (but Xander was right behind him)! These two were just so much fun and I would happily read more of their adventures.

Another thing that I really loved about this book was the care that went into crafting these characters. Especially Xander! It’s not often that you come across a trans-nonbinary main character in an urban fantasy book. I loved that they had this super tough exterior when facing the rest of the world and a soft mushy interior when it came to Milo. And I loved that Milo completely respected Xanders pronouns and their body and let them take the lead when it came to sex. It was just lovely all around. How Not To Date A Dragon is getting four out of five stars! I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this series. 😊

PS: this book does have a misgendering scene with Xander’s parental figure/mentor. So please be careful when you read this one.
