THE DRAGON OF YNYS available for preorder!!

Minerva Cerridwen

Every time something goes missing from the village, Sir Violet makes his way to the dragon’s cave and negotiates the item’s return. It’s annoying, but at least the dragon is polite.

But when the dragon steals a person, that’s a step too far. As Sir Violet ventures out to get the missing baker back, however, he quickly realizes things are not at all what they seem…

My debut novella will be released on May 16 with LT3 Press but you can already preorder it now for only $2.54! Sir Violet, the main character, is aro/ace, other important characters are lesbian and trans, and of course there’s a dragon!

Darkling’s Cover Reveal!

Minerva Cerridwen

Darkling’s Beasts and Brews: Poetry with a Drink on the Side has a cover! And an awesome one too, in my opinion.

A larger version and the Table of Contents of this horror poetry anthology can be found on LVP Publications’ Facebook page. The book contains my Frankenspider and Haiku, and the great L.S. Reinholt, with whom I’ve written a science fiction novel which we’re currently editing, also has two poems in it. Every poem will be paired with a drinks recipe (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and I can’t wait to see those combinations! Release date to be announced later.

I’d also like to remind you that there’s only 10 days left in the Love & Bubbles Kickstarter! Go take a look if you think you might enjoy an LGBTQA underwater anthology (short stories). We can use your support!

An Interview and a Date

Minerva Cerridwen

You can find my interview for the Love & Bubbles Kickstarter campaign here! I’m talking about my story, Summoned; about what I would ask of a water demon and about gardening. And the gorgeous moodboard the Love & Bubbles team made for my story is visible there too! 😀

To make sure this book will get published, you can still back the Love & Bubbles Kickstarter here. Thank you so much if you consider doing this and/or if you’re spreading the word about this project! ❤

I’ve also got news about my debut novella, The Dragon of Ynys: I can officially announce its release date! It will be out on May 16, 2018, with LT3 Press. More news on this will follow!

Bubbly Kickstarter!

Minerva Cerridwen

The Kickstarter for Love & Bubbles has been launched!

Love & Bubbles is a collection of short stories of underwater romance. The characters range from classics like mermaids and selkies, to creative interpretations on the theme that take you to the Amazon river basin, alien water planets, and an ice-crusted lake. 

We put out a call for love stories of all gender pairings and styles, and were surprised to discover the bulk of our submissions featured lesbian couples. Of the eleven base stories featured, eight feature relationships between queer women. We considered going ahead and focusing this anthology solely on queer women, but… I think you’ll agree the three stories featuring queer men and straight couples are well worth the uneven distribution of pairings! 

This anthology contains my short story, Summoned, about a grumpy old merman who’s trying to express his feelings to the water demon living next door. There’s a pet catfish, much love for tea, and an aggressive plant.

Please check out this link for more information, and thank you so much if you consider supporting this project! You can help to make this awesome publication happen!

Happy Bubbles!

AAAAAHHHHH!!! 😀 😀 😀
==> This is the very dignified reaction of a writer receiving good news.

My short story, “Summoned”, is accepted for inclusion in Jaylee James’ “Love & Bubbles” anthology! 😀

Love & Bubbles will feature love stories centered around underwater biodomes, submarines, alien planets entirely covered by water, sea monsters, selkies, mermaids, water witches, river spirits, and more! You can find the official announcement here.

My story features an old grumpy merman trying to express his feelings for his demon neighbour.

If you want to help make this anthology happen, keep an eye on the Kickstarter! It will begin on February 5 and I’ll make another blog post to announce it.

New Year, New Website

Minerva Cerridwen

… not that I plan to go through all this trouble every year 😛

Anyway, welcome! This website tells you something about me and my writing and drawing work. If you feel anything is missing, feel free to let me know! I don’t generally bite, and if you’re still scared that I might, you can always distract me by sending a piece of cake or some other delicious treat with your message to distract me 😉

As for news, I hope I’ll be able to share the release date for Darkling’s Beasts and Brews soon. This poetry anthology from LVP Press will contain a poem and a haiku by me!
