LAMBENT has been out for five months now and it could use some more love, so here's a nifty intro overview to the novella to show you why you may want to pick it up!

LAMBENT is one hell of an angst-bomb to start 2026 with, but hey, some of us roll like that. Pick it up if you like folklore, sad boy x sad boy dynamics, the idea of soulmates sucking, and bittersweet endings.

Komiren, Fox God of the Forest Shrine, has been alone for centuries. Duty is no longer enough, but with eternity staring him down, his options for companionship are limited. Cerdei the Lantern Spirit hasn’t been wandering this nebulous world long: just long enough to know he wants nothing to do with the lazy Fox God who spends more time sleeping than answering prayers. He’s content to walk his path alone, even if it does mean walking straight towards oblivion. In this world, Fate always has a plan; whether or not you want to fall in with it, though, is something much less certain.

I told y'all I'd have another title out this year... or in the most technical sense, I guess this is dropping 1/1, so NEARLY within this year. LAMBENT is the long-awaited, long-overdue Hot Wet Queer Summer piece I failed to finish in August because I bought a house out of the blue. It's a melancholic, bittersweet experience that is very loosely called a romance if one has the vision to see where this train wreck is destined to go. For the yearners out there begging Fate to throw them a bone, this one's for you, and it's coming sooner than you think.

I'll be offering another itchio merch bundle pre-order option for this title and will have its ebook available there as well, at least for the time being. Check out the summary, gorgeous character art (courtesy of @tcakesncoffee on insta/blusky), and snag yourself one of the limited bundles while you can! Non-merch physical orders can be made via my website form as usual.

Here's to another one, and here's to moving into 2026 beaten, bruised, but still kicking through it all.
