Hi! I’m Kit Vincent, an author of mostly queer mostly SFF fiction 🌈😄 My first book just came out. it’s called Of Feathers and Thorns. Readers of Witchmark, A Marvellous Light, and Carry On seem to like it 😁 You can check it out here.
I live in New England and have a pet pig and 2 rescue tortoises.
I’m also non-binary (any pronouns are fine).
Glad to be back in Tumblr!
Hi! My mum and I had a conversation in the car where I mentioned how funny I found this bit, because I had read it as Anathema thinking that she had, in fact, just been run over by a very campy gay couple, and a campy gay couple wouldn't harm her. But my mum read this as Anathema, who she thought could feel that Crowley was a demon, realizing that she was also in the presence of an angel, and an angel wouldn't harm her. And I guess I just wanted to know which was the intended message?
The version that Terry and I had in mind when we wrote it was the former.
Reading the comments I realize that things that were perfectly obvious to readers in the UK 33 years ago don't land the same way now.
If anyone has been in any doubt about what Anathema was thinking the line that would have made it utterly clear would have been..
...the "two consenting cycle repairmen".
In the UK the 1957 Wolfenden Report recommended that 'homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in private should be no longer a criminal offence'. And the phrase "consenting adults" became a euphemism for gay men once the recommendations of the report were put into action and male homosexual acts were decriminalized. (It took a decade and happened in 1967.)
So, yes. She thinks they're gay. And she was safe.

“A Female Reporter”
NELLIE BLY. HER NAME IS NELLIE BLY.
You know what else she did??
Saved a ton of mental hospital patients from persistent & sickening abuse. She went in undercover, and the doctors, nurses, orderlies, etc trrated her like all the others. They essentially said ‘Who cares if you don’t like hiw we treat you? No one will ever hear you or believe you!’
Wanna bet? said Nellie Bly
“Could I pass a week in the insane ward at Blackwell’s Island? I said I could and I would. And I did.” In 1887, investigative journalist for
Nellie was a fucking hero. You put some respect on Nellie Bly’s name.
“A Female Reporter” my ass
NYC Data Stories: Allyship
For when people say they’re sick of seeing gay stuff everywhere. Suck it up. 4 years. 4 years. And that’s just on the books, it’s legal. It doesn’t stop shitty attitudes, actions, or straight up violence.
That’s the years of gay MARRIAGE. We still don’t actually have full rights or protections.

Help us donate LGBTQ+ books to schools! 📚
You might have heard that teachers in Florida are being made to catalogue and submit all of their classroom books to make sure they're "approved" under HB-1467.
Many feel it's an excuse to rid schools of queer books.
The good news? With a $50 donation, we send LGBTQ+ books to the LGBTQ+ center, GSA club/youth group, or school library of your choice!

“So, let’s start with the basics, shall we?” Esten said. “There are two types of magic. Do you know what they are?”
I had not the faintest clue. I chewed on my bottom lip before replying, “Like, the good and bad kind?”
Esten looked downright appalled. “Of course not! No wonder you go around blowing up people’s doors with those ideas! Magic is neither good nor bad. It is a type of force, like gravity or electromagnetism. It is not a person. Please get that squarely into your head before we go any further.”
“All right,” I said nervously.
Esten exhaled and seemed to calm down a little. He brushed a stray lock of silky hair behind his ear and continued with an air of dignified formality, “As magic is a force, there are two types that work in somewhat opposite ways. We call them feathered and thorned. Feathered magic is aimed at support, restoration, and creation, while thorned magic is used to break down matter. Now, before you go spouting some nonsense about thorned magic being evil, consider that it is the nature of all things to perish someday. Even the grass under our feet feeds off soil made from countless dead leaves and bugs. There is no seed that didn’t sprout from a fruit that shriveled up and rotted first.”

Hi!
Glad to have you here on tumblr.
Just a quick heads up, I couldn’t get the website link in your bio to work. That could be an issue on my side of course, but I figured you might want to check. :)
😳😳😳 thank you for telling me!!!For some reason it kept chopping off the last two letters of the link that’s why it didn’t work 🤦🏻 But now my fancy link tree is up 😁
Nothing like starting to edit your book 2 and not even 5 minutes later realizing that the whole thing needs to be rewritten in 1st person…. 😂
Exactly one minute before the promised pickup time, the hospital’s front door swung open and a young man walked in, marching confidently toward me. The sheriff and his deputy straightened and glowered at him but didn’t dare approach. There was no question: he looked every bit a magician.
He was wearing a double-breasted coat with a high collar, tailored pants, and a pair of knee-high boots, all in shades of midnight blue so deep that in the dim light of the lobby, it looked almost black. His dark, wavy hair was shoulder length, and his eyes were the color of ice, neatly matching the silver thread of a single earring hanging from his left ear. He was quite a sight.
“Kieren Belltower?” he asked, sounding both formal and slightly annoyed.

I love how gloomy and atmospheric Salem turns after the crowds have left. I love the Halloween cheer too—both are magical—but this is a different kind. The good for writing kind. As well as ghost visitations 👻 🪦
