Welcome to Our Novelry!

Hello, hello. We’re Gail, a queer author and book designer who moved to Neocities in the summer of 2023. Making a usable website from scratch has been a fun way to test the limits of our CSS and design skills; over time, we plan to add all sorts of fun goodies here. Expect a lot of pages about our stories and some book design shenanigans.


Recent Updates & Additions: October 7th, 2025:

  • Starlit Prince’s release date has been moved back to 2027.
  • Slowly adding all chapters of the Heralds of Rhimn series to the site for free!
  • Planning an overhaul to this Home page and possibly the About page.
  • May overhaul or remove some of the bonus lore pages for HoR.
  • May add a HoR page for fanart.

We’re currently in the process of crafting some scrappy little guides for book design. More specifically, we're laying out ways to create ebooks for free. We’re going have opinions on glyphs and to teach you how to use freeware like Sigil & Scribus to make ebooks with your own two hands! The EPUB guide will probably happen quicker, but the PDF guide may be more thorough.

It might be obvious from the highly-customized website, but we also do dabble in digital art every now-and-again. Feel free to browse our little galleries while you’re here. We might put up some free-to-use assets later.

And here is where we’ll chat about writing, the editing process, and publishing. A lot of it is just gentle advice for getting unstuck, thoughts on worldbuilding, or ways to vary your sentence structure so that you don’t get stuck with basic meh text. Nothing too advanced.

Having trouble writing in general? Long-term writer’s block is often rooted in higher needs going unmet. Consider walking yourself through this self-care guide and see if that helps.

The publishing talk will specifically be about self-publishing, because that’s what we know. This isn’t an instant guide to megamillions success; it’s just a place where we explain practicalities like “here’s what an ISBN is” and “for the love of the gods don’t buy into these dumb publishing myths.”

We do a lot of writing. When we get this page fixed up a little more, here is where links to some of our ongoing projects will go! You can also check some of these out through the ‘Our Stories’ link in the navbar, and through various other links sprinkled around the site.

Heralds of Rhimn — Sapphic dark fantasy.

Mindhive — Technocapitalist dystopia.
