The front cover of a book entitled The Salt in the Sea by J. D. Rivers. Stylized artwork shows two men in a loose embrace, one shorter, light-skinned, and pale-haired, the taller one dark haired and darker skinned, both in casual modern-esque clothes. The taller one kisses the shorter one on the forehead, his hand clasping the shorter one's cheek. They stand before a blood-red circle with a star on it, and a brilliant blue wave surges behind them.
๐บ A downtrodden ex-soldier.
๐ฆญ A lost inn-owner.
๐ก๏ธ A dead body in a post office.
๐๏ธ An island in the sea.

Candles shaped like voluptuous bodies in a rainbow of colors
A blue candle in a tin. The label says "enemies to lovers" and the scent is plum, amber, and rosemary.
A candle in a tin. The label says Astarion and has a picture of vampire teeth. The scent is rosemary, bergamot, black currants, and absinthe.
Happy black friday to all indie creators on here! I'm a writer, but I also make candles inspired by fandom. ๐ฏ๏ธ๐
I've added romance tropes (enemies to lovers, PWP, hurt/comfort, and more) and Baldur's Gate 3.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.
Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! ๐๐ปโจ

I've got a story in this anthology! I can't spoil much, but it's a story about connection, about the power of the free flow of information, and about two nonbinary folks trying to preserve this power.
If this or the general premise sounds interesting to you, please give our Kickstarter a visit!
