Guess what, y’all? I’M OFFICIALLY AN AUTHOR NOW!! My book Iron Widow has been published by Penguin Random House. It’s a sci-fi reimagining of China’s only female emperor, featuring giant mechas inspired by Chinese myth creatures and an M/M/F love triangle that resolves in ✨polyamory ✨. You can get it pretty much anywhere books are sold, though I recommend buying it from your local indie bookstore if you can. If you’re in the UK/Australia/New Zealand, it comes out on Oct 7 instead!

An audiobook is also available! (Get it from Libro.fm because they support indies!)

Translations into French, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, and Portuguese are to come.

(PS. I’m dressed as a huadan, a type of character in Peking opera traditionally played by men. If you enjoy that kind of demolishment of gender roles, Iron Widow has plenty!)

My nontoxic trait is getting visbly excited after I see someone reading a book I like- as if I've written the damn thing myself

Me : It turns me off when guys are super extra about their appearances. I only like humble guys.

the crows are that picture of the diverse group of friends laughing and having lunch on the quad on every university’s website homepage but they’re actually planning a heist to steal exam answers from the prof’s office and sell them online

YA contemporary be like a quirky girl named ari (short for arithmetic) and her boyfriend peter (short for jupiter) have to help save their best friend abby (short for cabbage). They never swear but there will be one (1) HEAVILY implied sex scene and a single background character named Perso Nofcolor. It will sell 12 million copies.

Girls don’t want boyfriends. Girls want bookshelves with sliding ladders.

Me: This scene is so boring and hard to write.

My brain: Just skip it? Scenes can be written in non-chronological order.
