Introducing myself to my new followers (and haters lol). Hello! πŸ‘‹

I’m a disabled indie writer and artist living in the East Midlands. Half British, half Spanish, and proud of both.

At 41 (this year), I decided to make the biggest gamble of my life: taking the plunge into building a writing career and online business - instead of going to university as planned. πŸ’ƒ

And after 15 years housebound with lupus, myositis, chronic migraine, ADHD and PTSD, I’m unemployed and done pretending a β€œnormal” job is possible.

So here’s where I’m at:

I’m writing a six-book dystopian romance saga - a mix of romance, politics and science, with a disabled, neurodivergent FMC.

The world behind my flagship saga has massively evolved to the point where I’ll be able to write multiple stories and series set in this world.

My writing career will be this entire world. I’m obsessed πŸ₯°

I’m also building an online business selling digital products for readers and writers - to support my writing career and keep the roof over my head.

I’m politically unfiltered. I talk about disability, politics, fascism, books, Spanish culture, climate change, the welfare system, tech and biotech…and whatever is on my mind 🧠

The hate doesn’t stop me.

Looking to connect with writers, artists and like-minded people so we can build a less hateful space online ❀️πŸ₯°

Helen Whately once again coming after disabled people.

What is her fixation with culling disabled people?
