Creator day is over, but you can still support me (an indie author) by taking advantage of my Black Friday sale! I've got more project reintroductions!

This time, my sci-fi projects! Space adventure & cosmic space horror! Two very tonally different stories, both 50% off!

A book introduction graphic featuring two books, Wherever the Stars Call & You and I Are Eternal by S. Jean. Along the top is the banner describing both, Science Fiction, with the subtitle of "space adventures & cosmic horror / two very tonally different space stories!" beneath it. The covers are displayed with a line between them and on the sides of the covers are some basic tropes for the book. Wherever the Stars Call tropes read: brick of a book, ace & enby leads, SPACE VAMPIRES, found family, queer main cast, cyber cat!! You and I are Eternal's tropes read: short story, what if you wanted to end the universe?, a black hole watches, a sealed power, revenge is always sweet. Below both books are short descriptions of each as well. Wherever the Stars Call's description reads: "Wherever the Stars Call is the space adventure of two runaways from the federation who accidentally save and team up with a vampire in space to find a new life for themselves living life their way." You and I are Eternal's description reads: "You and I are Eternal is the story of an oracle searching for power in deep space for the Empire, except when he finds it, he intends to bring the cosmos back to silence."

10 days remain until BE NOT AFRAID's release Dec 9th! One of the seraphs is here checking in to see if you've pre-ordered it yet (you're gonna get real tired of him; he's very insistent). Also, have a snippet!

Countdown graphic for BE NOT AFRAID. The seraph character stands staring creepily at the viewer, holding a copy of Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. His wings spread out behind him, one eyeball showing beneath the feathers. His grin is full of sharp teeth and blood trails down his chin. A word bubble from him reads: "PREORDER MY BOOK". Along the bottom of the image is more text that reads: "10 days remain" and a URL for where to find the book: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid Writing snippet graphic for BE NOT AFRAID with a URL for preorders at the bottom (books.earlronove.com/benotafraid). The snippet reads: "Another one picked up his head and turned to look at Trent. Not by turning his body; his neck had twisted itself all the way around, past the point of breaking. Trent froze. Of course he fucking did. He had to pick his jaw off the goddamned ground. The light flickered again and then the other four were looking at him. Their eyelids had peeled back, revealing wide milky-white eyes that glowed. Their mouths slowly split into grins, lips thinned to show mouths of too many teeth."

I woke up to being only 7 sales away from my big milestone for 2025. I'm sick and my brain isn't processing it. But thank you all. I got my first ever author blurb for Opus from @tabithawrites.itch.io. Feels worth sharing again.

Itch: anotherindiewriter.itch.io/opus
Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/994d56a7cb
White text on a beige background reading "A story of self-discovery that embraces all the messiness that comes with that process, while showing that it's still 100% worth it. The protagonist's pain hits hard -- but so does their joy". The quote is then listed as being by Tabitha O'Connell, author of Structural Integrity.

Text reading "what people are saying about Opus" in a script font. There are four quote blocks beneath this, each with a picture, a name and location, and a quote. First is a frog sock puppet named Sequoia from Leipsic, OH, reading "A wonderful novella exploring gender identity and the journey to learn more about who we really are.". Next is a tiny swaddled baby named Mia from San Luis Obispo, CA, reading "I cannot read.". Next is an attractive blonde woman named Sue from Topeka, KS, reading "Before I read Opus, I felt very hopeless. But now. My business has become quite extraordinary. Love you!". Finally is a ban in a car with his hand touching his hair. His name is Kevin from Dover, DE, reading "Help me. I put too much hair gel in and now my hand is stuck. It's been three days. The Super Hold version is too super.".
