Consider adding HALLOWED BE HER FLESH to your #SapphicSeptember TBR if the following interests you:

✝︎ ineffable visions of the cosmos
✝︎ the divine calling out Catholic guilt
✝︎ weird worms & cannibalism
✝︎ tender yet terrifying love interests
✝︎ literal monsterfucking

Having very normal feelings while writing book two 🫶🏻

A happy merry #SapphicSeptember to all the yearners out there
Artwork of Kye and Jude from the book Name Her Holy. Jude is sitting with Kye leaning into her, hand cupping Jude’s jaw to bring her in for a kiss. Kye’s other hand is draped over Jude’s shoulder, holding a golden sword limply against her back. Kye has short dark wavy hair, tan skin covered with scars that have an eery blue smoke ghosting off from them into a billowing glow behind her. She is wearing a dark, high collared sleeveless dress. Her eyes are white as she looks down at Jude. Jude is looking at her with want, on hand on Kye’s hip. Jude is white and has freckles, long auburn hair in a very messy braid with a blue ribbon woven through it and golden flowers in a crown. She is in simple brown clothes, but wearing a gilded pauldron and armor down the rest of her arm and hand, decorated in flowers. Behind her is a twilight setting sun over a meadow field. A night sky with stars looms over Kye’s shoulders. A vine covered frame loops around the corners of the artwork.

It's the best time of the year! #SapphicSeptember is here and one of this year's themes is sapphic knights, which is one of my favorite things to both write and read about.

You can get this lesbian-centered, trans-inclusive, high heat Arthuriana series direct at my shop: riengray.shop ⚔️
Several women in the forest reach out to a knight with a heart on their tabard. It is the illustration The Fairy of the Dawn (1906) by Henry Justice Ford. Overlaid in orange text is Sapphic Knights for Sapphic September. Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Valerin the Fair overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes. Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Martis the Brazen overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes. Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Seure the Tempered overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes.

Why not have a glorious end to #SapphicSeptember with a double feature of undead and godly lesbianism? Follow Proserpina in her doomed quest to leave the Underworld and attempt to conquer it. Follow Hekate as she weaves a spell of vengeance and regeneration across the aftermath.

Sapphic Sword & Sorcery? Have a listen.

My girl Goatskin has split from her companion in adventures, and goes through 'a binge of self-change' as you do. In the yak herders' tents she meets Aigana, lush and flirty and sister to a were-beast in a local cult ...
