"To my dearest international readers — I cannot express how huge of a part you guys played in making my dreams come true. Thank you so much for being here and loving Mitsuki & Aya for a whole entire year, they’re going to be printed 💚" x x @agu_knzm
Preorder: Amazon Japan | Kadokawa | Honto
Publisher ‏ : ‎ KADOKAWA (April 19, 2023) Publication date ‏ : ‎ April 19, 2023 Language ‏ : ‎ Japanese Tankobon Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 180 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 4046817321
And an ebook too which might be a good way for non-Japanese readers to support while waiting for official translations.
The USD is so strong I just pre-ordered it WITH shipping for only $24 total. Which is likely around what Kinokuniya would sell it for if they ever got it in stock. I don't want to leave anything up to chance.
Update:
Tumblr media
Woah. It was ranked #760 something for graphic novels when I first looked last night. #1 for all books?

Published!
One of my poems was accepted by the amazing (TM) @improbablepress for inclusion in the upcoming anthology Anna Karenina Isn't Dead, and @atlinmerrick sent me a symbolic dollar for my first paid publication!
I'm so excited to be part of this project, and will share details of how you can get your own copy of this fascinating collection.

Sketch → Final!
Cover & spread illustration by Olena Shmahalo for Scientific American, 2022: Black Hole Information Paradox
Related article: Black Hole Mysteries Solved - Clara Moskowitz
In the issue, George Musser covers the black hole information paradox — that information cannot be destroyed, and yet black holes appear to swallow it, leaving no trace when they evaporate. But new research confirms that black holes are reversible after all, conserving information. (the principle of reversibility). Thus the cover concept: a black hole encased in an hourglass. When you turn to the interior spread, the black hole's reversibility is revealed: what goes in comes back out.

Please check it out! And say nice things! Because it is crazy exciting and also kind of scary! That's a little piece of my soul I let out into the world and I hope people treat it tenderly; I hope it can speak to people who these words might help; I hope people understand and are kind.

Writeblr intro
Last Updated: Mar 2024 So, I realised I hadn't actually written one of these, and I had to fix it!
Name: Magpie, or Shelle, or Michelle.
Pronouns: she/her or xe/xer/xis.

The Writing: I’ve been publishing since 2011, and I have a bunch of free and paid anthologies I’ve organized, but these are my most important/favourite works.
Tumblr media
Except for The Meaning Wars series, all of my books are set in Canada!  
The Meaning Wars (complete; And The Stars Will Sing, The Stolen: Two Short Stories, The Meaning Wars, Poe’s Outlaws, A Jade’s Trick, The Meaning Wars Complete Omnibus)

Vibes: Space opera! Found family! Mature (30s) protagonists! Best friends! Sapphic and queer m/f romance elements! Friendly space raptors! Space pirates! A beach episode! Antifascism! Colonization (and inequality issues)! Fighting stuff with democracy and direct action!  
The Underlighters (Book 1 of The Nightmare Cycle; Book 2, Monsters and Fools, is complete and in edits. Book 3, The Foundling City, is a current WIP!)
Similar to: Jean DuPrau’s The City of Ember, Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, the Fallout series
Vibes: Coming of age/new adult themes. Spooky monsters. Post-apocalyptic. The importance and warmth of community. Friendship. Struggling with teen problems. Polyamory. Nightmares. Mental health issues. Trauma. Hope. Recycling.

Bad Things That Happen To Girls (Book 1 of the Memory Bearers Saga; Book 2, Within the Tempest, is also one of my WIPs) Possibly my most underrated work, this New Adultish story is a standalone novella about trauma and what happens when life breaks down.

The Editing: I've been a professional freelance editor since 2013, with Top-Rated status on Upwork (a freelancing website) and several hundred books under my belt. (I don't know how many things I've worked on at this point. I've lost count!) Primarily into sci fi, fantasy, horror, and literature (and associated subgenres); enthusiastic about #ownvoices and all kinds of diversity/marginalised representation in fiction.
You don’t have to go through Upwork unless you want to; DM me if you’re looking for an editor who’s knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and gentle. I’m also budget-friendly!

The Devil You Know- Out Now!
My short story is out through D&T Publishing. You can get your copy here.
Tumblr media
Anya is a witch, serving as the village healer and midwife. She’s fiercely independent, but she isn’t a loner. She cares deeply for her community. I had so much fun writing those moments of friendship and camaraderie.
When women have meaningful work and friendships, I feel it makes their romantic relationships that much stronger.
Enjoy a haunting original fairytale for your next Halloween read! You can find my story here.

Writing my debut novel, ‘Corpus Christi, Texas,’ changed my life in many ways. It allowed me to discover my strengths and talents while unearthing my flaws and weaknesses. At a time when I was recovering from Anorexia nervosa and lacked love and affection in most of my friendships and relationships, writing kept me on my feet. It was the lifeline that saved me. I no longer cared about my body's appearance or weight; I stopped purging and started eating. The characters in my book occupied most of my mental space. Tony, the protagonist of this story, became someone I deeply loved and appreciated through the writing process. When I finished writing the last page of the book, I realized I hadn't created an entirely new character; I had been writing about myself. I then concluded that Tony was a hyperbolic representation of my own self. Creating Tony made me fall in love with myself once again. He healed my broken wings and allowed me to discover my self-worth in a new way.
‘Corpus Christi, Texas’ delves deep into the human psyche, exposing raw facets of sexual desire, corruption, and the blurred lines between morality and immorality. It aims to explore the intricate relationship between good and evil, the dichotomy of God and Satan, while skillfully weaving Catholic imagery into the tapestry of a recessionary America. The book meticulously examines the complex relationship between American and Mexican culture, unearthing hidden connections and disparities that challenge conventional perspectives. As a whole, the novel fearlessly portrays the darker aspects of human nature, intertwining themes of culture, religion, and authority.
That being said, I am pleased to announce that my book is officially available now, worldwide on Amazon, in both paperback and ebook versions. Just as writing this book changed my life, I hope that when you read it, it changes yours.
See you in hell,
Cruz Del Castillo ✞
Available to purchase now in the link in my bio.

I'm so very excited to announce that my novel Melded has been picked up by ink and quill press for publication! (Short summary of book at bottom!)
Dark fantasy, queer romance, and cosmic horror
Tumblr media
The book will include eight full page black and white illustrations by me, cover art by me as well, and bonus half page illustrations throughout!
Tumblr media
I'm so extremely excited to, well, meld together my artistic and creative writing skills on this project, and I'm very happy the publication will be going through such a wonderful publishing team.
I'll be announcing more as time goes on. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far! This is a great achievement after a long, hard journey, and I couldn't have done it without you!
(Especially my friend Jan for their tireless assistance with editing, moral support, and dedication, thank you so much!)

Summary:
The power of Haliz Fundir can combine two people into one body and mind. The possibilities of its uses are endless, but the power comes at a terrifying cost.
Jorel covets it without understanding it, hoping to use it as a weapon of war.
Gen fears it, knowing the cost all too well, and has tried desperately to never use it again.
Simon has only met it, and it's up to him to discover what lengths he's willing to go to protect it, and if his secrets are worth the lives of thousands.
When the power of Haliz switches hands, no one was expecting Gen to meld with a human and run with the key to controlling the dark power.
Now inside one body and mind, Gen and Simon are forced to face their pasts, their inner demons, and the feelings they've hidden from each other.
There's nowhere to run inside your own mind, and with a war hungry cult leader, a psychotic scientist, unspeakable monsters, and the whole island hunting them down, their options are running out
