🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Happy Pride everyone!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This year, Pride is every bit of the protest it started out as, and while that’s unfortunate in 2025, we should be louder than ever. As the HRC’s new Pride campaign states, “These colors don’t run.”

There are many queer creators holding sales and events this year, and I’m one of them. Starting today, all of my queer work on Itch is 80% off! You can grab all three of my novels, including The Requiem Series and It’s Only A Little Death, for $1 each. There’s a novelette thrown in there too for gray-ace/queer monster lovers for $0.40, two literary gothic queer shorts for $0.20, and a 5,000-word emotional gay BDSM short for $0.40.

You can grab it all in a bundle for $4 (a $20 value), or you can pick and choose what you want for each book’s sale price. Please note that if you’re grabbing the bundle, you must be 18 or older since there are books in it with explicit content.

Pride Sale is at the top in white gothic font with a purple line across the square image, pride flags and trans flags on either side. Backgrounds is black and purple smoke. Text: Starting June first, all of my queer books and short stories will be 80% off on Itch for two weeks! All of the items are listed, including: Everything Is Wonderful Now - book 1 in the requiem series, Open Wound - book 2 in the requiem series, It's Only A Little Death - a novel, Monsters Only - a novelette, and the short stories are What Lies Beyond, 3 AM, and Control You.

The sale will run for two weeks, so you’ve got plenty of time to take advantage of it. Every sale will support food security for me as well as other necessities, as I’m disabled and poor and struggling to make ends meet or afford necessities.

If you’re unable to buy anything, I totally understand! Times are difficult for many right now. You can still help in a big way by sharing about the sale. I’ve made a few posts on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads you can share if you’re short on spoons and can’t make your own post 💜 Feel free to repost the graphic to your own social media of choice.

Thanks for sticking with me, and welcome to new subscribers! Your support genuinely means a lot, and it inspires me to keep going despite the challenges I’ve faced. As a thank you, feel free to claim 3 AM for free, a short gothic sapphic horror based on a nightmare I had 💀

Stay safe out there 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
