You can call me August, but I will also be summoned by cool pond bugs and/or pictures of cats.
I'm a queer spec fic writer with a fondness for chucking characters into things they think they aren't prepared for. Most of my work is Dark Fantasy or Horror, but I cross paths with Sci-Fi, Paranormal, and Romance more often than not.
If my books have anything in common, it's wild settings, happy endings, casual rep, and kickass disaster queers being disasters but also kickass!
In the normal world, I'm a biology-trained engineering grad student (it's complicated) who plays with words and keeps Carassius and Corixidae in outdoor aquaria. I am five years old inside.
I wasn't kidding about the pond bugs.

For administrative news and general chaos, see the profile-updates book in my first reading list.
If you still have questions, my DMs are open, or you can drop a post on my wall. I don't bite :)
