They/them, forty-something, southeastern U.S.
I've been writing since I was a child and posting stories on various free fiction websites since 2007. Since 2013, I've been selling ebooks; Smashwords pays its authors better than Amazon, and itch.io is hard to compare, but seems to be in the same ballpark as Amazon.

Could you add a link here to "Scouts" on the other sites? I don't use the other sites because they don't format well for phones.
My new novella, "Fortune-Told," is available in epub, pdf and mobi formats from itch.io, either by itself or as part of the Secret Trans Writing Lair's Spring Cleaning Bundle.

The final chapter of "The Wakened Princess" is up, in case you've been wating to read it all in one go. Next week "Nine Months and Counting," a far-future post-apocalyptic story, will begin serializing on Saturdays.
Sorry to bother you but I was curious to know something about one of the worlds that some of your books share. In the divergence world what species are there in the states of Utah and Oklahoma?
I haven't set any stories there, so they could be anything. If you want to write a story in the setting, you can make up whatever neospecies you want for that part of the country.
Also, see this writer's guide to the setting. It's a bit out of date, as I never updated it for the neospecies in "You Could Go Home Again", but you'll find a list of those in a comment on one of the chapters of that novel (I forget which one).

Do you have other age regression stories asides from The Mural and the Cabinet? Like on your smashwords or something, always interesting to see trans people get a second chance at life.
I occasionally use age regression as a spice, not a main ingredient. Major age regression without a chance to change back, for me, is psychological horror. But temporary age regression can be fun or instructive.
The main character of "Wings," and several supporting characters, change into little kids temporarily a few times. The main character of "Homesick" (in "False Positives and Other Stories") gets a little younger, but not hugely. The main characters of "Scouts" (on BigCloset and TGStorytime), mostly middle-aged men, temporarily swap bodies with younger (college-age) women.
One of the supporting characters in "Wentworth and the Mind-Body Problem" (in "Unforgotten and Other Stories") swaps bodies for most of the story with a baby girl. Several characters in "When Wasps Make Honey" change or get changed into little girls, most of them temporarily. (Caveat about that series: lots of comphet and gender essentialism.)
I've posted a new El Goonish Shive fanfic to AO3.
"A Post-Scarcity Christmas" has been posted to *False Positives and Other Stories*. For some reason, Scribblehub sorts authors' lists of stories by the date the *first* chapter was posted, not the latest, so it's buried on the second page, thus the profile post to promote it.

I have a new metafictional novelette, "Umpteen Characters in Search of a Self-Insert," in a new bundle anthology, Santa's Secret Transfic Stash vol 4.

I finally got around to adding Shared Universe links to all the Valentine Divergence and Trust Machines stories.
Thanks
My short story, “The Accidental Detective,” is part of the Secret Trans Writing Lair One Prompt, Many Paths Bundle, with ten highly divergent stories by trans authors based on the same simple prompt. (Full disclosure: “The Accidental Detective” is also in Gender Panic and Other Stories, published a few weeks ago.)

My new short fiction collection, _Gender Panic and Other Stories_ contains 253,777 words of transgender fiction: seven short stories, seven novelettes, one novella, and two short novels. Six of the stories (including both novels), 163,290 words, have never appeared online before.

Here is the schedule for the next few months:
Wings is finishing 2023 September 21 [Wednesday evenings]
By Strange Ways, 2023 September 16 to October 21 [Saturdays]
Listening to Jekyllase, 2023 September 28 to 2024 January 18 [Thursdays]
The Wakened Princess, 2023 October 28 to 2024 February 24 [Saturdays]
Cataloguing, Casting and Cracking, 2024 January 25 to July 4 [Thursdays]
The Translator in Spite of Themself, 2024 July 11 to November 28 [Thursdays]
I've finally gotten around to adding a cover for "The Mural and the Cabinet", a couple of years after it was posted. Maybe sometime in the next couple of years I'll make a cover for "Pioneers," who knows?
"A Girl, a House and a Secret" is finished. "Gender Panic," a story about a child choosing their gender and body type in a future where there are many possible choices, will start serializing on the evening of July 10 (EDT) and run for five weeks. "Wings" will continue to post on Wednesday evenings until September 20.
I have four other stories scheduled to serialize after "Wings", plus four stories completed in first, or second draft that need one or more additional drafts before I can schedule them to appear on Scribblehub.
Originally there was a "vore" content warning on "Wings." That referred to a brief scene in chapter 61, which won't be posted until September 14. (And didn't involve Lauren directly, but anyway.) After some discussion with a friend, I decided to edit that out, and I've edited the content warnings on "Wings" accordingly. If that was the only thing stopping you from reading it, enjoy.
