SupportHowdy!
My name is A.L. Davidson (also known as MaybeMockingbird), I'm a queer and disabled, multi-award nominated indie author that loves writing genre-blending stories, tales of heartwarming and horrifying romance, and the coziest sci-fi and urban fantasies you’ll find this side of the galaxy. I specialize in narratives filled with ghosts, grief, isolation, queerness, life with disabilities, ecohorror, space exploration, slow burn romance, and the human condition.
I am best known for my multi-award nominated web novel series "The Night Farm" - which was a 2025 Inkies Finalist here on Tapas for Favorite Community Novel, as well as my collection of horrormance novellas and cozy web novels such as "Lonely Planet Hotel" and "His Horns Are Mine To Hold".
I am an Indie Ink, Queer Indie, Pushcart Prize, BBNYA, Thorpe Menn, BookTok Indie Author Awards, OutWrite Scary Awards, and IndieVerse nominee, as well as a 2025 Small Spec Book Awards Semifinalist.
I currently live with way too many plants and my cat, Jukebox The Ghost. When I'm not writing, you can find me at the haunted museum I work at, playing cozy video games, or diving into my ever-growing manga pile.
I am always writing something new, so I hope you'll stop by to say hello!

If you’ve had fun reading a novel or comic on Tapas, you should definitely show some love to your favorite titles since nominations are now open until the 2nd of July! Any comic or novel that was updated in 2025 is eligible, and you can nominate one story in each category!
And, if you’ve enjoyed “The Night Farm” or “Lonely Planet Hotel” (which is still ongoing on Tapas with new updates every Saturday!), I would be honored to be a part of your considered titles for favorite community novel! Your support means more than you know for creators like myself, and it helps highlight all of the magic, artistry, and passion in the community. The Inkies changed my life last year, so hyping up the titles you love is an awesome way to share the love!

Also just a heads up, a brand new paranormal romance web serial is coming in April exclusively to Tapas from yours truly!
It features two strangers who find themselves trapped aboard a space station bound for Mars and tells a story of love, loss, and life in deep space! Please consider helping us reach our goals! I'll also be back around in a few weeks with some other exciting updates!

Now is a great time to dive in, because not only do you have a huge backlog of over 70 chapters to curl up with, but you can use code HOLIYAY for 10% off your first month at The Lonely Planet! I really would love to grow The Planet with more Cosmonauts, it’s single-handedly the best way to support me as an author! Without my Patr30n, I’m unable to write my stories, and it’s the only source of income I actually get from writing - none of my book sales or Kickstarters or events bring in money - so if you love what I do and can spare a dollar a month please do consider joining me and my Cosmonauts over there! My personal monthly goal is so close, and not only do you get TONS of books to curl up with but you get lots of freebies, art shares, and more! So please head on over to The Planet and dive into these cozy reads this weekend! 💙 I can’t wait to welcome everyone back to The Lonely Planet Hotel one final time!
