Hi, I'm an as-of-yet unpublished YA author and high school math teacher who just joined Mastodon. I'm looking out for suggestions of who to follow in the writing/teaching community!

What's worse than being ignored by your god?
Worse is having your god owe you a favor. Particularly when he's a trickster.
Anari has won his god's undivided attention. If he can survive it, he will have one chance to save them all. Fortunately, Anari has a few tricks up his own sleeve.
Time to talk about my latest release! #PompeiiFire is a #dualtimeline#HistoricalFiction#novella of which I am very proud. Researched in person just before the pandemic and released in August of this year, the book has already garnered three awards.
Do you like grumpy/sunshine stories and historical romances with unusual settings? Then check out my latest novel, The Gladiator's Passion, an m/m romance set in Roman antiquity.
What happens when a kindhearted military doctor meets a prickly gladiator? Sparks fly, passion ignites, and there's lots of kissing against doors! (LOTS!!!)
(Plus a very grumpy cat)
Thanks for letting us know about this one! I just bought it and look forward to reading it. I think I've read almost every #mmromance set in Roman times, so it's good to find a new one. I'm really enjoying the #FedibookFair !

Happy to say that The Battle of Victoria Crater Part I and Part II are now online! The novella takes place in the desolate Martian frontier of Victoriaville, a brave community of settlers faces relentless threats from mercenary bandits working for a powerful Earth corporation, WTO. At the same time, life as a Martian teenager comes with some interesting challenges. This time, the light at the end of the tunnel comes with grim news – not only are the bad guys on their way, so are desperate refugees and a monstrous dust storm. Pete and Martin risk everything to rescue the plucky pioneers from certain doom. Martin learns in the grinding dust and darkness that victory is something you win, one step at a time.
#WordWeavers Do films or theatre play a role in your story?
Absolutely. In #PompeiiFire, Drusilla and Suetonius attend a production of Plautus' "Pseudolas." It gave me an opportunity to talk about social mores in ancient Roman society; men and women were not seated together at most entertainments.
