It's disability pride month, so here are my characters with disabilities. As someone who has struggled with severe social anxiety as well as autism, I wish there had been more information out there when I was a kid. So, let's bring light to the disabilities out there 🙌 💙📚 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ 🌈📚

K.V. Wilson 📚🐉@kvwilsonauthor· Apr 24

Thyme and Pel are a sapphic couple. Thyme is also non-binary. These two are mentors to the main protagonists, but share just about equal screen time with them. The book doesn't contain spice. Romance is a subplot, but there are definitely some sweet scenes between these two! 🥰 See autism post too!

An image of Thyme in the centre with arrows and words pointing away from them. Thyme. They / them. The most powerful mortal telepath. Has an ybex (goat) sidekick. Non-binary and lesbian. Married to the volcano goddess, Pel. Anxiety due to the constant flow of people's thoughts into their mind. Ground down their horns to masquerade as an elven spy; horns reform while in volcano. 1000+ years old. Constant migraines due to telepathy.

An image of Pel in the centre with arrows and words pointing away from her. Pel. She / her. Goddess of the volcano. Has a lava whale sidekick. Loves magma surfing. 1000+ years old. Omnisexual; married to the faun telepath, Thyme. Cannot see, hear, or speak due to losing her body and rebuilding it from magma. Relies on telepathy to "see" and communicate. ADHD traits.

K.V. Wilson 📚🐉@kvwilsonauthor· Apr 24

It's lesbian visibility week, autism month, and indie April! ✨️ To celebrate, To Speak with the Stars is on sale (30% off the ebook version) until the end of the month! books2read.com/1tswts More detail in comments. Character art and book cover art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social 😍😍😍 🌈📚 💙📚 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

A drawing of a faun and a volcano goddess. Images of a mermaid and a sun. A map showing a volcano. The text reads: Thyme could sense the warmth and vitality of Pel's soul. They knew it better than they knew their own. (Map says: Pel's rest volcano. Also known as the Heart of Penumbra.)

A volcano goddess gently caresses the face of a pale-skinned faun with long white hair and glowing golden horns. The text reads: I'll always come back to you.

The book cover is in the centre. It has a volcano goddess on it with dark skin with orange magma rivulets flowing through it. She's holding a glowing golden orb with the images of two elves inside it. The book title is To Speak with the Stars by K.V. Wilson. Words are around the cover with arrows pointing at it: dark high fantasy; multi point of view; dragons and magma merfolk; romance without spice; telepathy; found family; disability, racial diversity, and neurodivergence rep; queer-normative world; magic gifted by the gods.

More here because it only let me share 4 slides 😅

The story behind the characters (with art of Clover and of the author at a younger (perhaps 10) age). I wrote Rysa and Clover as versions of myself from different periods in my life. Clover—a secondary character—represents a younger version of me, before I knew anything about autism. She is shy and awkward, still finding her place in the world.

Images of the author at age 32 and of Rysa. Rysa—one of the protagonists—represents an older version of me. She has found safe people to be around and has become more comfortable with who she is and what she requires to live fully. Rysa takes on the role of an older sister to Clover, advocating for her and helping her to understand that the way she is is enough.

Have you picked up a book by an autistic indie author for Autism Month and Indie April? Mine is currently discounted! 👀 books2read.com/1tswts I also highly recommend N.R.G. Selove's (n.r.g.seloveauthor on Insta) The Assassín and the Sorceress: linktr.ee/nrgselove 🌈📚 💙📚 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ #writingcommunity

In honour of Autism Month, here's the autism rep in To Speak with the Stars. 30% off until the end of April! The book cover has a volcano goddess on it with dark skin with orange magma rivulets flowing through it. She's holding a glowing golden orb with the images of two elves inside it. The book title is To Speak with the Stars and author is K.V. Wilson. It's a dark high fantasy with a dash of no-spice romance.

Rysa (with art of a young half-elf with braided dark hair with strands of teal in it. Art by @gagakumadraws). Autistic traits of Rysa: stimming (fidgeting with her braid); meltdowns and shutdowns (irritability, fatigue, loss of function if she endures too much without a recovery period); cannot think properly while making eye contact; difficulty recognizing sarcasm (thinks it is but isn't certain).

Clover (with art of a young faun with ginger hair, large droopy ears, and small horns on her head. Art is by the book's author). Autistic traits of Clover: stimming (stroking her horns); lack of eye contact; special interests / infodumping (lpves magic and creatures); difficulty understanding social cues and fitting in; selective mutism (going silent at certain times; similar to stage fright).

The parallels between autism and my magic system. Clover’s people—the fauns—have innate telepathic abilities, but Clover was born without them. The other fauns converse amongst themselves, and she has no idea what's going on most of the time, always feeling like she’s on the outside looking in. This was meant to mirror my experiences with undiagnosed autism.

Just a quick fyi about my change of username to make it consistent. Thanks to everyone for following along and to the indie authors who've been creating amazing stories for me to get lost in! 📚✨️ These accounts will continue to share my own work and other authors' work 🙌
