Howdy!

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 a 2023 Indie Ink, Queer Indie, Pushcart Prize, and BBNYA nominee, a 2024 Indie Ink nominee, and a 2025 Thorpe Menn, BookTok Indie Author Awards, OutWrite Scary Awards, and Indie Ink 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!

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having an amazing 2026 despite the persistent horrors! I wanted to pop in and let y'all know that my very first web novel, a series called The Wayward Souls of Avalon, is being published by a small indie publisher that specializes in cozy books! It's a slice-of-sci-fi series and we've put a lot of love and care into this book, and the Kickstarter campaign only has a few days left to reach its goals! We have ebook and physical editions, so we'd love to have your support with the campaign!

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!

I’m so excited to announce that the third and final season of my cozy slice-of-sci-fi web novel series, “Lonely Planet Hotel”, premiers today over on The Lonely Planet (AKA my Patr30n)! This is shaping up to be the most romance and drama-filled season, and I am so excited to welcome readers back one last time to the halls of my Antarctic hotel! I’m also going to use this as the chance to sneak in a tease about the upcoming Kickstarter for volume one in the spring because I am DYING to do a full edit and print run of this book series. I also have a cover artist locked and loaded ✨ if you love The Night Farm, you’ll love this series!

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!

t’s going to be a busy week in the world of The Night Farm! With Halloween on its way all of the havens, from Wylder Wood to New Eden and beyond, are gearing up for the season! This is the tentative release schedule across Patreon and Tapas this week with new chapters of The Night Farm, The Funeral Friends, and Afternoons at The Acid and Apothecary - as well as a brand new Nights in New Eden novelette - on the way!

I’ve been busy working on the physical volume of season three of TNF and Kickstarter rewards, as well as the new NiNE book, and can’t wait to share all of these fun new stories with you all! Season four of TNF is officially rolling out new chapters every Friday on Patreon, too, and you can get THREE TNF stories for $1 a month over there, so we’d love to have you!

This week not only marks Vic’s birthday on the 29th but Cane’s on the 2nd AND Cas’ and Cane’s anniversary on the 30th! So wish everyone’s favorite vampire, werewolf, and grim reaper well!

Hello everyone! We are ONE WEEK away from Halloween (OMG) and I have some news and updates! The third chapter of the Night Farm AU story "The Spectral Squad" is coming in a few short moments, and next week I'm hoping to drop the rest of the story so you can have a whole chunk of ghost hunting goodness to binge read! Next Wednesday I'll also be dropping the next chapter of The Funeral Friends, which you should definitely be reading if you're craving some more Night Farm goodness! It's shaping up to be a super fun series with some of my favorite characters and a lot of cool lore!

In other Night Farm news, preorders for the physical volume of The Night Farm, vol/season three are LIVE on my website so you can nab a copy of the next season in a beautiful near 400 page print edition when I start shipping them out in late November! I also have restocks on the way of vol.1 and 2, and the third Nights in New Eden book - a Halloween murder mystery story - will arrive in ebook format on Halloween! The first two ebooks are on sale for $.99 until Halloween, too! So lots of Night Farm stuff releasing in the next few weeks, and I have physical copies of His Horns Are Mine To Hold on the way, as well! My physical shop will be going on a hiatus starting Monday, though, so don't miss out on ordering while you can! I will be re-opening on November 25th for holiday sales!

Friendly reminder that you can join me on Patreon for $1 a month and get access to The Night Farm which is now in SEASON FOUR so you have instant access to about 107 chapters for $1, as well as the adorable spin-off Afternoons at The Acid and Apothecary and early access to The Funeral Friends, which update on alternating Thursdays! And finally, keep your eyes peeled for a fun new slice of life paranormal romance web novel series dropping in November!

Hope you all have an AMAZING spooky season!

Exciting news! I finished writing season two of Lonely Planet Hotel! The entire season has been scheduled out here on Tapas and will wrap in late November, the "February" season is longer than I planned but I love how it's coming together and how it ties everything up in a nice bow! I hope you'll check the series out if you haven't yet! It's such a fun and cozy story, and seventy four total chapters across two seasons means you'll have plenty to read!
