Some fun news: I finally built a standalone webcomic site for my lesbian horror-romance graphic novel in progress, The Goblin Throne! Two out of three parts of this comic are already complete, and can be read in their entirety for free on the site. Part 3, the finale, is coming this summer!

If you've previously been following this comic as I've updated it in chunks across various social media platforms (here, instagram, bsky...), this is the first time you can read the whole dang thing in just one place!

What is this "Goblin Throne", you ask??

The Goblin Throne is a three-part queer horror fable, told from three different perspectives! It's a story about finding out your mom broke a secret, violent pact with the ancient queen of the goblins, and that pact now involves you; and it's a story about a young hotheaded woman getting in waaaay over her head after she strikes a bargain with a dangerous monster; AND it's a story about what you're capable of doing after having your heart unceremoniously broken, when you happen to be said dangerous monster...

I've been working on this comic for the past three years, and Part Three -- the longest part of the story yet by far -- will be released this summer, in conjunction with a Kickstarter for a print version of the whole book, published by Iron Circus Comics! Now's a great time to read through Parts One & Two, to get up to speed before the finale drops. It's my best, nastiest, and sexiest work to date, and it's gonna be a doozy :)
