Heyyy this is an announcement of the next installment of the novella series, SEASONS. WAKE UP! is the winter novella and all my books deal with queer and trans themes, but WAKE UP! is my book with the most explicitly trans characters/concerns. This story in particular is about gambling.

It's an unconventional trans-noir literary (???) thriller, following a middle-aged-ish trans lesbian at an uncertain point in her life. Her lot gets thrown in with a compulsive gambler; a dirtbag trans dude who worships a strange photograph and doesn't give a fuck about anyone, or anything beyond making a killing off of illegal underground games. Not long after she reluctantly takes him in, she is abducted one night to witness him play in a dangerous, high-stakes match.....

If you like a shorter read with trans characters where their transness is not the main tension of the story, if you're one of the five people on the planet who are like FINALLY THE TRANS MAHJONG THRILLER I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, or if you know nothing about mahjong, and crave something a little more unpredictable with Lynchian elements, give it a go! The book will come out March 31st and is available to pre-order as a special-print paperback, a cheaper mass paperback. Once the book is out, the ebook will be free on Itch. <3 Thanks, all!! ^^
