They/Them 🏳️‍⚧️ Writing, cooking, lusting after vampires, and yearning for the macabre. Something about doing too many things and not enough of any of them.

#SapphicLineShare First time, how'd I do? 💕

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 8:29 PM

👀 I'm going to need more like this for... Reasons

It's a little early for a beta read at this point, I'd like to get my manuscript into first draft for all the chapters before I look into beta reads. I'll keep you in mind along with the other readers I'll reach out to when the time is right.

When it's done you can!

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Thank you!

I write dark urban romantasy, currently the focus is vampires and witches 🖤🩸

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 5:42 PM

Avery is a lot of people's types ❤️ I love writing from Avery's perspective the most, for sure. You did an amazing job capturing all of them, honestly

Are you shipping them?

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 2:40 PM

It will be a long time before I'm looking for anything and I don't have a clear image at this time of what I'll want to prioritize and what kind of feedback I'll be seeking most

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 2:39 PM

I'll definitely remember this. I appreciate the offer, though, it's going to be quite awhile still before I'm seeking beta reads

I should have posted these sooner! I got the first concept sketches for three of the most important characters of my novel from the extremely talented @artofreinav.bsky.social a few weeks ago. I'm very happy with them.

Oh, but of course! Beta readers are the lifeblood of great books

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 3:27 PM

I don't know yet, do you have any recommendations for me? I'm feeling something spooky.

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 1:32 PM

I discovered a new divination technique. I chew up raw pork and spit it onto a plate. It's difficult to pull off, but there's always risks with tricky gnosis like this.

Autumn is essentially a gothic spring.

@catarinreads.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 6:02 AM

I find myself in the throws of the bittersweet grief and 'what now?' phase that comes with the end of a good book. Bravo, Rawnie Sabor, bravo. I cannot recommend the court of chains series enough if modern dark romantasy is your thing. 👌 Peak.

I finished a very important scene and brought my first draft to just below the halfway mark before lunch today. Autumn is such a good time of year for my productivity. I guess I do my best work when the tea is hot and the air is cold. 🫖🍵🌈📚 #queerwriter #lesfic

Today's writing and yearnings are both supported by Nick Caves & The Bad Seeds. What's the sound track to what you're writing? #queerwriter

From Tales from New Darpana Bay V2: Manic Pixie Dream Girl (Coming Soon)

archiveofourown.org/series/3591394

“Hey.” It was the guy talking. With reluctance, Ceres turned her gaze away from Vola and to the mouthbreather in front of her. He was skinnier up close. Paler. The kind of guy you’d find listening to headphones in the park, playing chess with himself. If she’d ever needed proof she was a lesbian, this was it. Right now, his bland features were contorted in a mask of irritation. “So, thanks for apologizing and for buying another drink - but we were in the middle of a conversation…” he trailed off, clearly expecting her to take the hint.

Again, she angled her body towards the girl, subtly away from him. “Oh, cool, about what?”
