Greetings dear readers!

First off, I hope all of you are having a most joyous Pride this month. Especially for those of you who are queer, whether you’re out and open, quiet and closeted, questioning, or anything in between. We’re here to celebrate you, and your existence is a powerful thing! As the title says, be Proud of who you are, for you are the only you there is.

As with every year, there are many wonderful charity drives this month, but this year has something special. My good pal Gregg, also known as Cafe3G of the Nerdy Cafe, is teaming up with a couple other streamers for a week-long video game charity stream. All proceeds go to the Trevor Project, and to help out as much as possible, there are a number of wonderful stretch goals…

…including a live reading of Bones and Bourbon! That’s right; if Cafe3G can meet a goal of $500, he will read the opening chapters of Bones and Bourbon live during a stream! As he is not only a professional streamer, but a radio personality and voice actor, I am beyond thrilled to hear him bring the Gallows Brothers to life.

So check out the stream here, and let’s help out our fellow LGBTQIA+ folks while also having a fun time with games, shenanigans, and more! (And don’t be surprised if you see me hanging out in the chat; in fact, feel free to say hello!)

In the meantime, I’ve been busy with a handful of online conventions (check out my chats at Rainbow Space Magic and IqarusCon), working on my new WIPs, and also creating some more artwork. In fact, I’ve recently joined deviantArt to share illustrations, concept art, and sketches you won’t find anywhere else. Feel free to stop by here and peruse the art!

That’s all for now, my friends. Stay cool, stay safe, and stay proud of who you are!
