✣ ┅ ABOUT ┅ ✣
You can call me August, but I will also be summoned by cool pond bugs and/or pictures of cats.
I'm a queer spec fic writer with a fondness for chucking characters into things they think they aren't prepared for. Most of my work is Dark Fantasy or Horror, but I cross paths with Sci-Fi, Paranormal, and Romance more often than not.
If my books have anything in common, it's wild settings, happy endings, casual rep, and kickass disaster queers being disasters but also kickass!
In the normal world, I'm a biology-trained engineering grad student (it's complicated) who plays with words and keeps Carassius and Corixidae in outdoor aquaria. I am five years old inside.
I wasn't kidding about the pond bugs.
✣ ┅ BOOKS ┅ ✣
I have a lot of books. For update schedules, quick synopses, recommended reading order, and more, check out the link below─it's a google doc with the most up-to-date info!

For administrative news and general blog-style chaos, see the profile-updates book in my first reading list.
If you still have questions, my DMs are open, or you can drop me a comment or a post on my wall. I don't bite :)

He/him
The completion statuses of all my books can be found in their titles (if posted):
✔ = Complete (16)
❖ = Updating Now (3)
❍ = Preparing to Update (1)
✐ = Currently Writing (5)
Books with a rainbow sticker have a queer main character. Expect to find LGBTQ+ rep in all my books, though.
While many of my characters are POC, I am white. Please extend any diversity-related opportunities to authors of colour :)
