I cut my hair! (And bought a pirate shirt!) That's my big October news. I also made some art! I bought Rebelle 5 Pro because it was on sale for $20 (normally $150) and mimics traditional media like watercolor and oil paint. I can't use traditional media because it takes energy, money, and space that I don't have, so this has been fun to play with! I love the idea of controlled randomness like...

Gay ghost books! Well, the books are gay, not necessarily the ghosts, though there are quite a few of those too. These are mostly m/m romance, some are not necessarily romance but are about mlm characters. One has a ghost love interest, most have ghosts who are a problem, and the rest have ghosts that have some other role in the story. (Sorry if you're disappointed by only one ghost love...
