Hello lovely readers, long time no update!
          	I'm so sorry for the extended hiatus I've been on. I've been juggling a lot of different things at the moment, many of which I'm very excited to tell you about.
          	
          	First thing's first, I'm getting published!!! My witchy MM romantasy, A SPELL FOR HEARTSICKNESS, will be releasing October 15th 2024! It follows the story of Briar Wyngrave, an enchanted fashion designer suffering from a curse that's draining his magic, when a prophecy sends him to a rural town to meet the man who could cure him. But it's a bit hard to have a date with destiny when you aren't sure which man that date is with—the handsome alderman with a curse of his own, or the famous healer with an unreadable aura.
          	
          	I'll post more updates to reveal the cover, preorder dates etc, but this is one of two big reasons I've been so busy. The other is that I've (finally!!) gotten top surgery and HRT. I'm so happy to finally be feeling more like myself.
          	
          	Which brings me to the last bit of news, which is the final instalments of Neon Rush! I'm so sorry it's been on hiatus this long. Truthfully, NR is one of those stories that was deeply personal and difficult to write sometimes given the delays and hurdles I was going through with my own transition.
          	
          	My plan, my crazy plan, is to spend this year drafting. I have to write a sequel to A Spell For Heartsickness, the ending of Neon Rush, and the rewrite of Wolf Teeth, which has been using my brain like a chew toy for the past year. All of these are at some state of progress, but my plan is to have them all done and dusted by the end of the year. I know that sounds a long way away, but time is really flying, and I've been managing a pretty steady writing pace after the much-needed break!
          	
          	In the meantime, thank you all so much for reading my queer books and for supporting and leaving your comments as time goes on. I can't wait to share more of my characters and worlds with you! Much love :)

Hello Alistair, I just completed one of your book Static Crush and let me tell you it was amazingly penned. I loved it so so
          much. Eventhough I see myself as a silent reader but I Couldn't help myself after reading the story between a human and humanoid (it was my 1st such story in the genre science fiction). I loved it so much that i wanted to thank you for not only writing but also sharing it with us.
          Tysm. Hope you r doing good:)))
          
          P.s. let me tell u a secret, so I completed this story in 3 days and yesterday I even got a dream about humans turning half android,  like with an extra identity and bright eyes in their skulls,  it was strange but fascinating to the possibilities of the future universe.

@JyotiSharma842 Oh bless you, thank you so much for breaking silent reader status to tell me how you felt about Static Crush. And your first science fiction story! I hope there are many more in your future; it's such a cool genre to play with. So happy to hear this one could spark your imagination like that <3

I followed because I enjoy your writing style! I decided to check out your Tumblr account; and might I say, I love your art style too! [I noticed that you seem to like Dragon Age; I love Dragon Age as well!] 
          
          I'm looking forward to reading more of your works ^_^ ~Morrigan

Hello lovely readers!
          I'm unfortunately taking a break from updates this week, as I've hit a bit of a wall in regards to burnout. It's frustrating to be this close to the end of the story with so little energy, but I'm hoping to manage my way back to regular updates to completion if possible! Thanks so much to all of you who've been reading and keeping up with Neon Rush. It's been both a labour of love and the most challenging book I've taken on. I really appreciate all of you who've expressed love for these characters!
          Hoping to resume updates next week, but in the meantime, happy Fri-YAY and have a great weekend! :)

Take your time! I'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say we are happy to wait if it means you are proud of what you've achieved, rather than getting a rushed story faster <3

          I am back with another Neon Rush chapter for you all! It's, uh, very NSFW so fair warning. Don't read it if you're in the room with your grandma?

Happy Fri-YAY to my lovely readers!
          I took a little break last week because I was starting to feel pretty burnt out, but I'm back with a new chapter of Neon Rush!! In which Gray opens up a little about his past and Zef is a simp.

Happy Fri-YAY lovely readers!
          The rollercoaster continues with a new chapter of Neon Rush:

          I hope you enjoy as we're ramping up to a...very long climactic sequence of events which will hopefully be a fun read (and don't worry, plenty more romantic moments for Zef and Gray to come; I try to even it out while everything's going wild in the aisles lol) ;)
