After LITERALLY YEARS of very slow progress due to my health problems, Aspects of the Divinity, Book One: Glory in the Thunder revised edition and Aspects of the Divinity, Book Two: Resplendent in the Sky are finished, done, and OUT. Right now they are only available as direct download from my cloud storage, because if I wait until I have the energy to upload to other distribution services then it will just never happen. Yes, they’re free! More on why they’re free down below.

(The PDF is formatted as a printed book. .mobi format is for Kindle. .epub format is for iBooks and most other readers that aren’t Kindle.)

Aspects of the Divinity is my life project, a story about queerness and mental illness set in a fantasy version of the Silk Road. The road’s cultures worship a handful of people who are bound to powers cleaved from the Will of the World. The combined length of the first two books is well over a thousand pages, and I still have more books to write.

As you might guess, I myself am both queer and mentally ill. I finished the first edition of Glory in the Thunder in 2013 when I was still barely healthy enough to hold down a job, but since 2015 I have been on disability. Disability payments have kept me alive and I have worked on my writing when I am able; I often go weeks or months at a time unable to write a single word. I’m in no shape to hold down an aggressive schedule and I don’t know how long the third book will take, but if I got through this then I can get through the next book. This is all to say that the books are free because they’re something I’ve done for myself at my own pace while I am healing. 

Anyway, if you like the idea of a gay princess and her lady knight, or a sweet rural boy being entangled in the affairs of a beautiful but distrusting nobleman, or old people that are really explicitly canonically queer, or angry women in general, have I got the story for you!

Content warnings: The age rating is teen. There are no sex scenes. There are violent scenes. The narrative occasionally touches on the subject of suicide, especially in the second book. The font used in the PDF is IM Fell Great Primer. I think that’s everything.

Oh yeah, the rest of the pages on this tumblr site need to be updated, but it can wait. Only use links in this post for now.
