This weekend's creative project is to adjust this map of the city of Volgstadt so it's more print ready.

Volgstadt is the largest city in Old Volgvarra, situated on the rivers Edda and the Volge; the people who founded the city came from our world, originally, and settling here only when they realized there was no way home. The river Volga is so named because they did not realize for many years that it was not the famed river they were looking for.

Politics in Volgstadt are dominated by powerful labor unions, collectively known as bluecoats, a paramilitary style city watch (greycoats), fading aristocratic families who worship the stars (asterites), and bourgeois merchant guilds who control trade throughout the region with an iron grip.

A map of the city of Volgstadt, built in Inkarnate. My favorite spot is Shitwater Watch - so named because the fecal runoff from High Hill and Five Coins has a tendency to pool and stagnate.where the Edda and the Volge come together.

Hey so as I’m moving back here there’s two Mastodon communities I’ve not been able to find too many of, so asking for help finding my people:

Magic the gathering players and queer authors, where are you all?

(Also just always looking for more general flavors of freaks)

The setting known as HDG (Human Domestication Guide) managed to irritate me enough that I got inspired to write a short story:

"To teach others is what it means to be human. The first human act was not fire, but showing someone how to make it."

...

Feed people before you teach them. Feed them after, too. Empty stomachs don’t learn truth. The future remembers who shared their fire."

-- Seeding the Interregnum --
Mutual Aid as Collapse Infrastructure

**This isn’t about saving the world. It’s too late for that. It’s about making sure something usable survives the burn around you and your community.**

Collapse doesn’t announce itself with fireworks. It shows up as peeling paint, missed deliveries, and a flickering municipal website. The termites eat the floorboards while everyone debates curtain colors. Most people won’t notice until the ceiling drips, the lights stutter, and the pharmacy shelves stay empty too long. Then one morning, the floor gives out.

Mutual aid networks, structured horizontally and rooted locally, aren’t just acts of compassion. They function as infrastructure for continuity through collapse. While governments fail, markets fragment, and institutions hollow out, these networks maintain the basic patterns of care and connection that humans require for survival.

We’re building what comes next, not stockpiling against the apocalypse.

Since I’m getting back into #AuthorLife after being incógnitas for about 6 years. Goodness, but I’m coming back to it, and one of the first things I’m going to accomplish is releasing the paperback version of Murderous Profession, which was released in August 2019. Better late than never. I got proofs from the printer, and other than a couple of tweaks, it will be good to go and available for purchase on my website. It’ll have a matte cover bc I like the feel and look of it.

Two paperback copies of my book Murderous Profession. Top half is a nighttime picture of the Brooklyn Bridge (I think). There’s a black bar and the lower picture is a bed with yellow police tap over it that reads Police Line Do Not Cross. The title is in red and white lettering, and in the lower left hand corner is DJ Small. At the top reads: Detective Eliza Miller In…

I recently made a storybook all on my own (besides my cousin designing the cover art and my partner @magicalgrrrl helping to put all the pages together into an ebook).

ko-fi.com/s/a100cf0ae0

“Lost Kitten Finds a Way” is an illustrated book, about my experiences with homelessness and DV trauma, from the perspective of a cat (so it’s more palatable to a wider audience). It’s currently only available in ebook, on my Ko-Fi and Patreon. Hopefully sooner than later I’ll be in a position to order physical copies to send out.

For now, though, I’m just trying to meet my family’s basic needs (shelter, food, and meds) so I’d appreciate if anyone decides to get the book or simply buy me a coffee (on Ko-Fi). My partner talks more about our current situation on her page, too 🖤

This photo and the second photo contain the same items, they are just arranged on the table in differently. From largest to smallest, there is a quarter page size zine titled, "what they don't tell you about testosterone." There is a mini zine titled, "we call her dr. worm," and it features a photo of Kira, a black cat. There is a sticker with black text in various hand drawn fonts that says, "therapy is not enough, I need Trump to die." There is a shooting star sticker whose tail is the trans pride flag with text that says, "a trans person peed here." There is also a thank you note and a couple random freebie stickers with each order.

#WritersCoffeeClub 26. Did your childhood affect the way you write / what you write?

Had to have. First, I came from a highly literate family. Words were very important. I would have lengthy talks with my mother about the finer means of words and we loved looking things up in the Partridge Entomological dictionary.

Second, my experience as a trans person growing up in a hostile world had colored my vision of the world. My characters reflect this, none of them reach adulthood without scars. They are not ashamed of who they are, but they paid a price. #Trans #Transgender #TransAuthor #transauthors

I am sure in many other ways as well. But those are the first two that come to mind.

hi pixelfed! i'm excited to find a photo-sharing platform that is an alternative to met@. i really hope it takes off here.

i'm Al Hess, author of WORLD RUNNING DOWN, KEY LIME SKY & a handful of indie books. i write cozy & weird sff with queer/trans romance.

my next book, SHAKE OUT THE GHOSTS, has morbid-humored artists, a crush on a ghost, and donnie darko vibes.

Six covers of science fiction books by author Al Hess: World Running Down, Key Lime Sky, Yours Celestially, Shake Out the Ghosts, Mazarin Blues, and Sable Dark. All of them are painted by Al Hess.

Out now on Amazon - a bloody little number about a pirate crew trapped under the wrong stars, desperate to find a way home--even if it means crossing a witch, cutting a deal with the fae, and facing off against a monster slumbering in the depths of the sea.

A devil's blend of dark fantasy and cosmic horror, with a dash of Moby Dick for good measure.

$5 print, $1 on Kindle (free with KDP Select)

I would be endlessly grateful for honest reviews!

Since today is #TransgenderDayOfVisibility, I thought I'd give out my book Murderous Profession where my main character's love interest is a dashing, trans man who is also black. No, this isn't a self-insert story. I'm genderqueer and black lol. You can get a #FreeEbook copy at the link below, and don't forget to opt-in to my newsletter, so you can stay up to date on what I'm putting out books wise and other stories.

I posted this on my personal Mastodon account but thought I'd share here too...

I don't know if created is the right word, but I'm hoping to start using the hashtags #TransMascAuthor and the gup.pe group @transmascauthors to help get us some visibility. Also the more general #TransAuthor to include the broader trans community.
2024-02-27

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who commented on my poll about #transmasc authors. It looks like the majority would like a hashtag which is easier for me to handle at the moment. (very happy to explore Friendica or Discourse when I can afford to spool up another droplet or if I get admining help)...

Also making a gup.pe group for @TransMascAuthors@gup.pe or use the hashtag #TransMascAuthor or #TransAuthor so we can also boost the entirety of the #TransWritingCommunity

Please boost #bookstodon
