My latest queer historical fiction book is out in the world! WHERE CANNONS ROAR is the story of an aro-ace privateer captain and his adventures with a stolen British frigate. All retailers linked at https://t.co/wmbPGvBSLP

The main character of my next Revolution book is a gender-fluid character who gets to build a found family in the midst of a siege. #LGBTQWriMo #NaNoPrep

It's a little late in the day, but I'm Rev and #IAmNonbinary. I write queer historical fiction, including my most recent release, Where Cannons Roar. I'm a bit of a nerd about history, especially queer history.

Guess it's time for me to get back on Twitter. This year I'll be working on writing the story of a gender-fluid soldier in the midst of a siege. #NaNoPrep #LGBTQWriMo

I don't know why I see Goodreads trending for me but I want to shout out @thestorygraph for being vastly superior and to thank them for existing.

@prosebforebros I also remind myself that what I'm writing is inherently fiction and doesn't need to be perfect. Even though I do my best to be as historically accurate as possible, I still give myself some room to be imperfect if it seems probable and keeps things moving along.

[R.W. Winton @WriterRev]

@prosebforebros I usually do enough research that I can get started pretty comfortably. As I'm writing I make notes to myself about things to fact-check, and I keep doing research throughout the process so I can make changes/corrections as I'm editing.

I've been doing a lot of worldbuilding (rebuilding?) lately and I'm finding this site to be kind of an obsession now. https://t.co/u8e8Cqxuom

Hey everyone! If you have ever asked "what can I do to help trans rights," I have something for you.

Biden's title IX change protecting trans people in schools is open comment.

It is getting FLOODED by TERF comments.

GO MAKE A COMMENT IN SUPPORT!

My 6th great-grandfather, whose surname I stole for my pen name, was involved in this attack.

#OnThisDay, Patriot Gen. “Mad” Anthony Wayne captured the British garrison at Stony Point during a risky nighttime assault. This patriot victory provided a much-needed morale boost and showed the bravery of American men. https://t.co/cWBMCxJlzJ

I'm not feeling very festive this July 4th for some reason... can't really put my finger on why...

I’m sick of living in unprecedented times.

I am currently in the process of moving, TODAY, to a new town and my only priority is updating my address and voter registration so I can vote in November because I'm terrified of what will happen if these monsters have unchecked control.

What do we do now? What CAN we do now?

Since it's pride month and I am a gay, transgender man, I would like the stage for a moment.

LGBTQ men have historically been erased, including from our own history. This is especially so for trans men.

So, I want to showcase some trans men throughout history.

@AmaraJLynn The last 2 weeks have not gone to plan at all for me. My job has become more stressful, leaving me with no energy to work on writing. I will still get it done by release day, though! #PriWriMo

[R.W. Winton @WriterRev]

@AmaraJLynn Sure do! My MC is asexual and so am I! #PriWriMo

[R.W. Winton @WriterRev]

@AmaraJLynn I would love more ace rep. Even though I'm seeing more of it in general, I'd specifically love more of it in historical fiction. That and more poly and queer platonic arrangements in histfic. #PriWriMo

[R.W. Winton @WriterRev]

@AmaraJLynn My goal this week is to get more editing done and finally update my website and social medias about my next book. #PriWriMo

[R.W. Winton @WriterRev]

@AmaraJLynn I got some editing done the last couple days, so positive progress has been made! #PriWriMo
