A Self-Love Mallard-Festo: Sir Mallard Jones’s Self-Love Secrets Plus Fave Movies & Reads
Ah! Well, for MEEE, your everyday aristocratic plush duck, I’d say self-love is a way of life. (Not a whey of life, because my system is anti-milk, you know.) Every morning, I rise like Hercules and head straight for the bathroom. I then stand upon the sink and, raising myself daintily upon my flipper-tips, look… Continue reading

About US
Welcome! I’m Star Tavares. I am queer and nonbinary, and my hubby Jake is trans. Our plush duck is called Duck and is super-ducking awesome too. He likes to call himself an award-winning duck because Jake and I wrote a screenplay about him that won some awards, and who are we to argue?
The thing is, we used to publish in the romance genres, but after we came out about our genders, we thought romance didn’t want us anymore. But you know what, toots? We were wrong.
Now we’ve rebuilt our confidence and are back to living our Romancey Pants life, writing, reviewing romance movies, reading romance novels, and doing a whole lot of stretching. (Did I mention we’re getting older?)
Want to know more about Star’s writing credits? Under another name, Star has published romance novels and novellas with presses like Harper Collins and Cleis, and has won awards for their shorter works from places like Glimmer Train, Screencraft, and Narrative, where they also worked as an editor. More recently, Star’s nonfiction about gender identity has appeared in The New York Times and at Huffington Post Personal.
Since Jake, who is also a romance author, is starting to add more reviews here (along with Duck’s best frenemy Sir Mallard Jones) watch this space for more about him and his career.
