it's just gotta be that special something with the tension that gets brushed off at first but then they're like "oh. oh this is going to be a problem"

you might also be surprised how much of popular modern language was a product of the 19th century 😳

πŸ’š Make the Play coming April 2025 πŸ’š

Jason King is many things: a son, a brother, a state champion football coach, & a high school PE teacher. He’s also straight, or so he thinks, until a red-headed, autistic, Lord of the Rings-obsessed English teacher shakes the foundation of his world

tfw you're drafting and you just gotta use modern language temporarily despite the setting being something adjacent to the 1850s... nothing like period aesthetics surrounding an unapologetic "we listen and we don't judge" statement lol

Curious about our resident football coach Jason King and the shy English teacher he befriends? I hope so because the title and trope reveal for Kings of Heart: Book 2 is coming tomorrow.

I can’t wait to share more of Jason & Emerson with you.

Excerpt from Moonbeam on the Lake:

They stay like that for some time, Kieran's deft fingers massaging through Silas's damp hair, before Silas feels one of his fingertips drag up the back of his neck. He's halfway through making an embarrassing sound, high in his throat, before he startles and nearly chokes on it, pitching forward with a hand darting to cover his skin.

He can feel the blood rush to his face and the tips of his ears.

"Are you okay?" Kieran's voice comes soft and deep, and it does nothing to slow his racing heart.

"It's just," he starts, turning his head just enough to catch a glimpse of his dark, dark eyes. "Sensitive..."

Silence falls over them for a moment. The air is charged with something Silas doesn't know how to name. It feels like something important is about to happen. Kieran leans forward, reaching out to touch him, and Silas squeezes his eyes shut, not knowing what he's even expecting. 

He feels one of Kieran's hands land on his collarbone, the other a gentle support between his shoulderblades, and he opens his eyes as he feels himself being leaned back against the tub again. He tucks his chin and stares through the bubbles, cheeks warm as he concentrates on the feeling of porcelain on his back, trying to will his pulse to slow.

A little early for WIP Wednesday, but here's a little sneak peek at Silas and Kieran's particular brand of tension πŸ˜‡

Silas is pretty suspicious of the lake's new visitor, no matter how handsome he may be...

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly:

If you make art (any art! Not just visual), no matter how big your audience or if you think you're "successful" or "enough", you are giving people the energy to get through another day.

You're part of the reason folks have an easier time holding on.

Keep creating!! Your art matters!!!

Silas is... well, sometimes he's a swan. Sometimes he's not. It's a whole sunrise/sunset thing, and a long story. He'll spare you the details, but a shrouded past led to getting cursed by an evil wizard, and now he's here.
