The writing process is a WIP, but detailed outlines of a book trilogy have already been firmly established—with book one in the making. If you're at least somewhat intrigued, you can read the brief list of 'pinch points' (until I create a proper synopsis) below!

^I'm kidding about that 'Dykes Only' warning, but this is a sapphic story!

Containing four primary characters, à la Little Women

LGBTQ+, with strong themes of gender-queerness

^a stone butch protagonist exploring transmasculinity

Elements of magic, rooted in Slavic folklore and mythology

Set in 70s Northern England, a fictionalised seaside town

^consequential focus on immigration, with diverse cast

A Polish immigrant in 70's England

Enjoys underground gore comix and painting

Is a Slavic Pagan, dabbles in fortune-telling

Her full name means 'pure' and 'sorceress'

Face-claiming Carol Kane, though she is a plus-size character (whose physique more so aligns with Beth Ditto)

An avid reader and Second Wave feminist

Plays badminton competitively

A second gen with New money

Full name meaning 'garland' or 'crown'

Though Stevo wears glasses in canon, actress Vyjayanthimala is the perfect face-claim :)

Owns a pet spider named Boris, after a The Who track

A naturally blonde butch with a battle-axe tattoo

Refuses to swim because he wears hearing aids

Her full name references immortality, twins, and leadership

Tomcat's face-claim is easily Joan Jett, though Liza Minnelli contributes to the gamine's body shape and mod cut
