For your consideration...some quotes from To Love the Stars too Fondly ✨️ Just two more days to pledge for the special edition with foil and pleather and printed edges! It's an absolute treasure of a book, so it deserves a beautiful presentation to match.
Pretty please check out my Kickstarter? www.kickstarter.com/projects/sds...
❤️Why so serious? This book is irreverent as hell and f*cking hilarious. Navigating trauma through humor is the best medicine. You’ll be rolling from laughter as you wipe away cathartic tears - and that’s an SD Simper guarantee.
❤️ It’s not internalized homophobia to admit that navigating being a lesbian in this world is a scary thing sometimes. I’m so fortunate to live where I do and am accepted, but not everyone is so lucky, and the religious trauma surrounding growing up queer and LDS remains a shadow in my life.
❤️ I’ve always been open about having bipolar disorder. Alex’s story is personal to me in that way: playing the medication game, therapy, and managing mood cycles. Bipolar can be ugly. Romanticizing it helps no one. But while it does put your life into hard mode, you CAN aspire to be something more.
❤️Terra’s story of loss, trauma, and overcoming isn’t, in the specific, something I’ve experienced, but I know people who have (and consulted them at length). But overcoming the types of trauma that can destroy you or remake you is a journey I know well.

I've turned over a new leaf ✨️ This was a difficult decision to come to, but I have to live my truth. From now on, it's all M/F, all the time 👫 Thank you all for understanding. I hope all my wonderful fans will follow me into this new chapter of my life 🙏 #christianlife Link 👇
We've cracked $11k on the special edition Kickstarter 🥳 THANK YOU so much to everyone who's pledged or shared! It seriously means so much. Even the standard editions have bonus content that won't be available for wide release, so consider checking it out at the 🔗 below 👇
It's been a good day 🩷 THANK YOU so much to everyone who has helped make launch day a success so far!
The spiritual successor to your favorite sapphic mermaid romance lives on, albeit in a different contemporary form. We launch TOMORROW. Pretty please f0ll0w my Kickstarter and make it the best launch ever? My reputation is on the line 🙏
To Love the Stars too Fondly is absolutely its own thing at this point, but there is some overlap and astute fans of both may notice minor similaries. So, Sea & Stars fans can rejoice! Art by 2inthepink2

Sea & Stars is a story about forgiveness and how no one is past redemption. It's about finding your power amid hardship and overcoming impossible odds. It's about loving another person at their worst and finding the worth in helping them heal. And it's got gay mermaids, so I think it's a winner 🧜♀️
