I just heard about this loss to the trans writing community. They will be missed.

Sending my love, just heard the news. 

Thank you for all youve done Shandy.

We'll miss you deeply, Tris. The mark you left on this community and its readers won't be forgotten, and I hope you rest well <3

I'm sorry to have to announce that, earlier this week, Trismegistus Shandy passed away from us. They had been struggling with a terminal illness for years, and their sister reached out to me to tell me the time inevitably came. It is fortunate that they were able to pass without too much pain.

thanks for the follow haha

I've posted PDF and epub versions of "The Puzzle-Box Girl" to my DeviantArt gallery.

Also, I just finished the first draft of a 26k word novella tentatively titled "Decatted."  I'll probably do a second draft next month sometime, then get beta-reader feedback and do a final draft a month or two later.  Let me know via DM if you want to beta-read it.

My new short story, "Imaginary Friend," is in the Secret Trans Writing Lair's Spring bundle, "Hope for Today."  It contains ten stories by trans authors, 61,500 words.

It will remain exclusive there for a while, then appear on fluff4.me, and then on Scribblehub a while after that.

This coming Thursday, another new short story, "The Half-God's Mother," will be added to that collection, followed by a reprint of "Wentworth and the Mind-Body Problem" from *The Weight of Silence and Other Stories*, the following two Thursdays (i.e. through January 30).

Check out my friend Jess's short superhero story "A Hero's Wish," which she wrote as a gift for me in 2022 and which has been a Patreon exlcusive until now.

The Secret Trans Writing Lair's fifth holiday bundle is out now.  I don't have a story in it this year, but go check it out -- there are eight short stories, seven novelettes, and three novellas totalling 176K words.

The novelette version of "Permission Slip" has begun serializing, but for some reason isn't showing up on my author page or a search for recently updated stories by tag.  So here is a link.

Depending on how much of Project 2025 gets implemented, and how, we could be facing mass censorship of trans or generally LGBT+ content.  I recommend that everyone who cares about trans fiction read this essay by Bethany Karsten.
