Thanks to trans men donating their tissue, we know the exact number of nerve fibers in the clitoris. Read about it here.

Thank you to everyone who has backed the Kickstarter, it is now fully funded !

We have one week left to hit stretch goals, which would be amazing, but I am so grateful and happy to have gotten this far. The amount of support this story has received is overwhelming, and refuels my creative gas tank like nothing else.

I can't wait to order prints, bookmarks, stickers, and wield my new highlighter and pens to go full historical nerd mode for annotating time. Not to mention signing and/or painting the books themselves.

"why did you stop writing your story!!! never stop writing!!!!!!!!!!!" well you see the character had to drive one mile to a new location and the sentence "she got into the car" was quite simply my undoing

“Where would we go?” Watt whispered, entertaining the idea of them against the world, if only for a moment.

Cornelius couldn’t help but smile, eyes closing and wind upon his cheeks. “Where wouldn’t we?”

Have you signed up for adventure yet?

The Voice of Wild Places is my upcoming queer historical fiction following two former childhood friends as they search for lost legend Percy Fawcett, and the city he was looking for.

Screaming at this gorgeous @bencalico piece, it is so warm and cozy and wholesome. I just want to lay in the grass with the gay explorers and their fur baby.

[noahhawthorneauthor]

It began, as most things do, with a Tumblr post.

Firstly, this is my official announcement! The Kickstarter for The Voice of Wild Places opens on August 1st.

There is a formal explanation for the origins of this story, but before that I'd like to introduce the seed that began this story, planted by my good friend and talented author Luna Daye.

And so began the quickly snowballing project of 'finding the gay along the way.'

The Voice of Wild Places was also borne from my love for history and a need for more queer historical fiction. What was originally supposed to be a fun and quick archaeological story in an urban fantasy world swiftly evolved to a story far beyond anything I imagined, and definitely not urban fantasy.

Yes, there is romance, but this is also a story of adventure, fighting to be who you are in a world that begs you to be anything but yourself, finding the truth, and discovering your value.

The early 20th century has always called to me, but when I first dove into this era I had no idea the feelings that would surface. As I wrote, I discovered many of the issues my characters faced are similar to the ones people face now. It provided me with a way to cope with the changes our world is enduring, and it is my hope that others can find the same comfort in it that I found writing it.

Travel with Cornelius and Watt as they journey from Philadelphia to New York City, to Brazil's coast and her interior. Visit the places of their past such as Michigan, France, Egypt, Columbia, and more as they two untangle the threads of their lives, and what made them into the people they are now.

With years of research devoted to this project, you can find reality in the details. Listen to the music in the queer speakeasy Maxine's, which lay in the heart of what would become the Gayborhood. Cruise on the S.S. Eastern Prince, which ran from New York City to Rio de Janeiro, and witness the construction of Christ the Redeemer.

And we cannot dismiss the less savory parts of history, such as the production of antivenin, the threat of civil war, colonialism, and discrimination.

Are you ready for adventure? Preview the pre-launch Kickstarter page here, and give it a follow if you'd like! All the bells and whistles will be there on the actual launch.

(The book referenced is The Rivers Ran East by Leonard Clark. Yes, I have it.)

For all that time, his life had been nothing but shadows and madness and pain. And the pain was very far from being the worst of those things. Sometimes he even welcomed it. At least pain anchored him in the here and now. When it faded, there was nothing. Endless, immeasurable nothing, and no way of counting the hours or days or weeks.

I’m currently working on some new pieces for @noahhawthorneauthor 's K1ckstrter project and I’m just absolutely in love with these two. I mean, who doesn’t love adventure queers finding more than just treasure? ✨ If you haven’t already, I highly recommend checking out the book and the project. it’s running until the end of the month!

while I don’t agree with that referring to men in their 30s-early 40s as “old man yaoi”, I UNDERSTAND why many people who primarily consume honest-to-goodness BL manga are quicker to call it that, because there is just such poor representation for men that aren’t hairless dehydrated 20-something twunks. They’re wrong, but I get why it happens.

I also understand that “middle-aged yaoi” isn’t as fun to say as “old man yaoi”, even when it’s more technically accurate.

So I would like to propose new vocabulary: Grown Ass Yaoi. yaoi that’s grown ass men. they’re not old but they’re not young adults either. you get me? Grown Ass Yaoi

Tomorrow is Kickstarter Day! To celebrate, I thought I'd show off some paraphernalia I've acquired over the years to connect with these characters and the world they lived in.

The matchbook is the first item I collected, and the brochure is the second. The newspaper clipping is one I obtained later on, but all three have to do with the Furness Prince Line.

A postcard from the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, where antivenin was developed and our characters witness the process, and its effects.

Cornelius' camera, a Kodak Eastman No. 2C Autographic edition. Mine is awfully rough shape, but when I stumbled upon it in a local thrift store I knew it was meant to be. Cornelius' is a little bit different, his has the red bellows.

For books most are for research, but others were for vibes or setting. Not pictured is Into the Amazon: The Life of Cândido Rondon by Larry Rohter, which I have in ebook.

Lastly, a Camillus pocket knife. Watt carries a Camillus TL-29, which is an electrician's knife. This is not a TL-29, but it is a well aged electrician's knife like the one he would've used, and from the same company.
