Almost a year ago a friend of mine said "you should write a book about character" which I thought was a pretty good idea, except I wrote a book about characters instead. Do you like stories? Want to beta read and give me your reactions? forms.gle/FwQxuxYqREqqDP…

Last call. Looking for beta readers for my 17th-century adventure novel. A sort of Dumas/Princess Bride/Zorro type of thing - but vastly improved by a lesbian love story forms.gle/cJEXyw83rb3WyU…

A classic gem... I try to reread it every couple of years. Preserved and available online forever thanks to Google Books google.com/books/edition/…

Thin silver lining of the pandemic: You can take UCLA Extension courses from anywhere in the world (NYC for example)... I took this one last quarter and it was excellent. The current instructors are probably almost as good as @froonium was. Check it out! uclaextension.edu/writing-journa…

Dumas-style (omniscient narrator, historically a̶c̶c̶u̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ plausible), Princess Bride-style (playful adventure). Literal whore/virgin lesbian love story: prostitute becomes vigilante, woos a nun. She's a liar, cheat, murderer, eventually heroic. #pitmad #A #AD #HF #OWN #LGBT

19-year-old Jamie is *obsessed* with goth/punk icon Azazel. Sure he’s like 43 and she’s dead, but now she can possess him! Maybe she can even find life after trauma. The Sandman/Almost Famous/punk rock - A posthumous coming of age story. #PitMad #NA #H #UF #GN #POC #OWN #LGBT

Princess Bride / Dumas-style historical fiction adventure. Prostitute assumes identity of dead vigilante for all the wrong reasons: why STOP crimes when you can COMMIT them? Robberies, heroic duels, petty revenge, intrigue, arson, lesbian love story. #pitmad #A #AD #HF #OWN #LGBT

A prostitute in 17th century Paris poses as a vigilante, runs afoul of Cardinal Richelieu, and falls hard for a skeptical nun. It's a historical adventure with a lesbian love story and a Princess Bride / Zorro / Three Musketeers tone. #pitmad #A #AD #HF #OWN #LGBT

A Dumas-style (historically a̶c̶c̶u̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ plausible) adult adventure in Three Musketeers era Paris. Dread Pirate Roberts vibes. Literal whore/virgin Sapphic love story: prostitute poses as vigilante, courts a nun. Duels, cross-dressing & crimes. #pitmad #A #AD #HF #OWN #LGBT
