Patreon is most of my monthly income, and I've been hit by cancellations that leave me about $300 short on utilities. In order to keep up, I'm aiming for a total of $1500/month-- now about $400 away. If you've enjoyed my work in #japanesehistory and #cyberpunk, subscribe! http://komaneko.gay
Balance of Seven Press, whose social media has been effectively abandoned since 2024 and whose website security certificate lapsed, is again late issuing royalty payments and now 5 days behind acknowledging my email giving 30 day notice of termination of contract.
Answer your email, Mr. Tinker. #WritingCommunity #indiepublishing

@NyxKai@ieji.de Same to you-- and thank you.
There are 4 days left in July, and I am still short on monthly income thanks to Patreon cancellations. To keep up with living costs, I'm trying to get to a total of $1500/month-- about $380 away. If you enjoy my work in #japanesehistory and #cyberpunk, subscribe! http://komaneko.gay
40 (forty!) days remain until I need to pay for my top surgery! Insurance and credit bureau fuckery has left me without coverage or other options. You can help close the rest of the gap via the link below from 21% to 100%.

My surgeon wants a payment in two months, just before my top surgery date, and because insurance won't cover it and I can't get a loan for it, I can't do it without you. Consider helping a gal out via the link below.

"Fate had brought them together as platoon commander and platoon sergeant, but those days were long gone now. Now and forever, they were sisters." #amwriting
A short while ago I gave 30 days' notice to Balance of Seven to terminate my contracts, in light of their repeated delays in royalty payments, but also my frustration at their lack of investment in marketing and their inability to communicate in timely fashion.
If you want my books, now's the time.
I will have more to say in the near future about where my books will be rehomed. For now, I urge Mr. Tinker to sunset this press and focus on personal matters.
I also call on all authors who feel they are being wronged by their presses, for things like late royalty payments or other questionable business practices, to contact Victoria Strauss at Writer Beware so all our colleagues can know. Forewarned is forearmed.
To support my work while I go through the process of rehoming my books, the best way is to subscribe at http://komaneko.gay
Thank you all for your support.
I will have more to report soon.

"Once-- had it been so many years?-- Tokiwa had held the young slip of a girl wearing an awkwardly lanky, testosterone-poisoned frame, and let her weep in relief after her first estrogen shot. Helping Ayako’s daughter slowly, inexorably become herself had redeemed some of Tokiwa's grief." #amwriting

one of the stylistic things about this manuscript I'm happiest with is my choice to translate the Western Armenian for "good morning, dear" (as said between spouses) more literally as "Good Light, soul-of-mine."
Two trans women face the worst kind of news. One of them has a plan for how to help her wife cheat death.
Both will have to take a leap of faith.
