LESBIAN GIRLGROUP NOVEL OUT NOW

Here she is, my pseudo-dystopian, psychological-horror-adjacent, gay-ass girlgroup novel is now officially OUT in the world!

AMBROSIA follows an international superstar and second-most-lucrative member of her girlgroup from the point where she's a grossly ambitious teenager being broken down and reshaped by the industry's leading celebrity training program, to the peak of her career where she's lost herself in the big diva persona of Ambrosia, bleeding from her nose more than is usual, and hiding a shaved head from the world.

It's a seven-year long story of management-dictated shower times, performance-enhancing drugs, and ill-advised affairs with beloved and behated group-mates, told in increments by a semi-reliable narrator over the span of only the one fateful day where a life in service of being looked at finally translates into clawing out eyes.

If that sounds like your ๐Ÿซต kinda thing, you can grab a copy of AMBROSIA from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Blackwells, or wherever else you get your books from! Bonus points if you ask your local bookstore to order it for you!

You can also add AMBROSIA on Goodreads and/or read the first couple chapters for free right here!

Thank you for your support and thank you, as always, @shalida for the incredible cover. Artwork of the Moxxy girls by me!

please welcome movie conessuier and illustrator @shalida as page artist for Vampire's Vestige!

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

I'm also gonna stop listing the reasons why I recognize something is a scam. It's becoming more and more clear there is 1 person behind this STRING of scams and they're leaving less trails behind but it still reeks of them and their MO.

DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN'T VERIFIED.

At this point I'm fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!

People are exploiting our situation.

Reblog this post.

Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.

REBLOG IT.

The person this was about deleted the 4th or 5th scam account they made and are definitely gonna make a new one soon. I don't want anybody falling for this anymore.

AMBROSIA - pseudo-dystopian girlgroup novel - COMING FEBRUARY 2025

At fourteen, Katya signs her life over to entertainment monopolist W-Media to be broken down and reshaped into the perfect superstar. At twenty-one, now under the name Ambrosia, she is the centerpiece of wildly popular girl-group Moxxy, female lead in hit-block-buster S.L.Y., and firmly cemented as one of W-Mediaโ€™s most lucrative creations ever. She, also, hides a mental-breakdown-induced shaved head under her wig, keeps bleeding out of her nose due to experimental performance-enhancing drugs, and is about to turn the most prestigious award ceremony of the year into a whirlwind of shattered glass and bloodshed.ย 

AMBROSIA is a non-chronological story with a frame narrative that spans only a single day, while the story-within draws from anywhere within the past seven years of management-dictated shower times, content-factory dorms, and a life made for consumption that slowly but surely turns the pleasure of being looked at by everybody into the overwhelming urge to claw out eyes.

Itโ€™s also quite very gay. Significantly gay. This is lesbians. Thank you.

Holy shit, lads. AMBROSIA will be out in February and go on pre-order somewhere within the next 2-3 months.

The INCREDIBLE cover has been made by the equally incredible @shalida ! Charlie has been an absolute delight to work with and I've been chomping at the bit to finally show their creation to everybody for the past couple months!!
