What Elegant Stars

Queer Tales of Impossible Style, a fashionable space opera anthology.

✨ WHAT ELEGANT STARS is now funding ✨

satellites and sewists, terminals and tailors, dandies and dying stars

(they have 12 days left to crowdfund possibly the coolest anthology concept of all time and basically no tumblr presence. 😔)

Behold, a book!

THE OBLIVION BRIDE is my new f/f age gap arranged marriage novella, out now from Neon Hemlock, a very cool queer press. You should check them out.

You can fit all sorts of grief and drama in this bad boy. We’ve got self destructive magic, we’ve got ambivalent and awkward feelings about needing to get pregnant with your new wife’s magical kid, we’ve got a landscape that warps you a hundred miles away with every step if you’re not careful.

And we’ve also got a very sexy bit of promo art by Matthew Spencer:

Also some very cool people have said some very nice things about it.

If any of this sounds appealing, you can snag it now at most of your favorite online retailers - but if you order direct from Neon Hemlock, you also get that very pretty art shipped with it.

(And if you’re patient, there’s an audiobook coming and I can confirm the narrators? Perfection. Beautiful. Amazing.)

Hello! I want to buy Finding Echoes in ebook and I was wondering if you had a shop you'd recommend?

(mostly I don't want to give Amazon money unless that is actually the best option)

You can actually buy both the physical book and the ebook direct from the publisher, Neon Hemlock, on their website! I hope you enjoy it! :D
