Callow hearts, hollow bones is a historical dark urban fantasy (I think it's fair to say) comic.

It follows Joseph Crow (he/she) – hunter, lover, fighter, joker – and I've posted the prologue before here on bs without context. I'm going to provide some context and repost the 26 pages 🪶

If the cover art for The Traitor & The Wretch drew you in, the amazing artist, Amy, could use a little extra support! There's a tip jar and some wishlists to help her get settled into her new place!
my pride and my funds have never been lower, so if you wanna pick something up off of my housewarming list or toss me a few bucks, i'd think you're real cool

A catch-all for the wishlists I have going so people can actually see them.

It's my birthday week, and if I could ask for something selfish, it would be that folks spread the word about our new book, The Traitor & The Wretch.

Tell a friend if you liked it, use the #traitorandthewretch tag, request it at your libraries✨

This is extremely accurate, and it's why I wish editors got a credit on books. Sometimes you learn who edited a bunch of your favorite books and you're like ah. I see. It's a job that requires a keen literary eye AND people skills, which is a tough mix!
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Not only have editors prevented me from showing my ass in public, so has hiring sensitivity readers. I’m a big fan of both. Having someone be honest with you while also keeping your best interests at heart is something to be valued not dismissed

Other things I didn't have space for:

Henry's codependent relationship with Liz aka Birdie, her boss and one-time savior

Nicky's cool car that she tunes up herself

Dickie, Birdie's mc, Henry's mentor, and Tumblr's old man favorite

and did i mention they work at a drag revue....

And LONGSHOT's deuteragonist, Nicolasia "Nicky" Flores.
(or as Henry calls her... Flowers 🌼)

Saved from a vice raid only by the grace of Henry's connections, Nicky's newly single and starry-eyed at what she's seen Henry get away with. What would it cost, to grab some of that for herself?

Henrietta "Henry" Roth is the mc of LONGSHOT!

Since cutting a deal with mob wife Birdie to save her life, Henry's built a reputation as a go-fer for the mob. It doesn't earn her many friends in the gay bar scene - but who needs them? She's got protection. That's enough, right..?

Aw thank you, that's really nice of you 🤩
😍😍😍 there's some years worth of nightmares there for Jo
Mine too! I feel like that's what really makes the design (so I also didn't want to add a ton of other stuff beyond the basics (what I perceive to be the basics))
What do we think of this ✨werewolf design✨
