Congrats! Itβs always a good feeling to see the number go up.
Culinary class wars fucking rules
Cover of Glorious Dawn by Dorothy Garlock. The font is big swooping golden letters.
I was really inspired by the font of Dorothy Garlockβs Glorious Dawn. Which is a book that I wouldnβt even categorize as a romance. It is trigger heavy and full of suffering and misery and I think there are more non-con scenes than consenting ones. But god the cover!
Cover of The Bruteβs Embrace by Marianna Forge. A Highlander Wedding Night Short
Iβm going to out another pen name, but Iβm proud of my cheesy erotica cover! It looks like something your grandma read in the late 80s!! It looks like itβs full of problematic scenes and an antiquated idea of sex
Iβve never made a significant amount of money on Amazon but I do love fucking around in Canva to make covers for shorts
Romance is one of the greatest fiction genres and it literally keeps the publishing world going. If it's not your bag, that's fine, but it's not a lesser-than genre and some of the best writers around work in it. Human connection is always worth telling stories about.
My revamp of Male with Arms Up-Stretched by William Etty , 1828
Iβm kind of in love with how this one turned out
Also getting close to finishing Vol.3 of my Dark Vintage books! Iβm hoping to have it done by January

put them to bed, cover them up with a comfy blanket, give them some hot cocoa, let them live in Deleted-Scenes-I-Might-Use.docx
Also whatβs the name of the book youβre reading? It sounds interesting!
Yes, fanfic is always very chunky and very wordy. I kind of thought theyβd edited it down to publish it but guess not
I read it when it was a Fanfiction and itβs interesting but really dragged out and not very fun. Listen we all love a dead dove do not eat, but more words does not mean better story (which fanfic falls into a lot)
It does not lol that story doesnβt have an ounce of sapphic energy in it
imo if all the richest ppl on the planet are at once begging you to lower your standards for art and media consumption you can bet that it benefits them more than whatever they selling your ass on and should consider the opposite of what's suggested
We are really living in the prime time of monster fucking
an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood. the book reads 'It's alright to say No. You will always be a villain in someone's story...'

I wish the prerequisite for being a creative wasnβt a rich family
& this nonsense that whomever has βthe most ideas the fastestβ is βthe most creativeβ is ridic. Thereβs ppl with 1,000 ideas for paintings yet will never paint The Starry Night. An idea and $2.90 will get you a ride on the subway in NYC.
Artistry isnβt solely manufacturing ideas. Itβs the process.
I wish work actually slowed down enough that I could put all my effort into writing. Iβm proud of what I did this year but I could be doing so much more
A secret santa art for @tacticiankate.bsky.social !

Just a friendly reminder to surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, theatre, bakery, bookstore, and cafΓ©.
Imagine hating on readers for being pretentious and I'm just over here reading my Christmas monster smut.
Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.
