Luke Orion 🏳️‍⚧️♾️🥄<p>I recently made a storybook all on my own (besides my cousin designing the cover art and my partner <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/@magicalgrrrl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>magicalgrrrl</span></a></span> helping to put all the pages together into an ebook).</p><p><a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/a100cf0ae0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ko-fi.com/s/a100cf0ae0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>“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.</p><p>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 🖤 </p><p><a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/DisabilityPrideMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityPrideMonth</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/DisabledArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledArtist</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/lgbtqia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtqia</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSD</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/CPTSDSurvivor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSDSurvivor</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/ptsdrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ptsdrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/SelfPublished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPublished</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/AuthorsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/IndieAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieAuthor</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/KidsBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KidsBook</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/Storybook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Storybook</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/TransArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransArtist</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/DisabledAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledAuthor</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/TransAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransAuthor</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writer</span></a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/illustrator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illustrator</span></a></p>

I also make kids illustrations, like stickers and book covers <3 if you need something fun that kids certifiably think are fun, email me at:

Please share, I need commissions to make it through the month and would really love to get new clients to delight! (:

Hi

I'm looking for beta readers to read one or more short stories from my upcoming anthology- Unsung Women in Somerset (Junior Edition).

Aimed at ages 9+, it looks at the lives of unsung women in the county of Somerset, UK, in times gone by. It starts in pre-Roman times and ends in modern times, so you can pick which era you're most interested in.

@georgetakei

George... how can I have been following you for ages and this is the first I'm hearing that you've created a kids book? And a unique and touching sounding one at that?

Clearly I need to interwebs more.

For anyone interested, here's a (non affiliate) link to it on BookShop.org, an awesome site that's already generated >$30M for local bookshops, and the perfect counterbalance to Amazon:
