When I learned Bloodwrit would be doing the NSFW art for the Monster's Duet bookbox with Beastly Tales Book Box, I couldn't have been more thrilled! Who better than the artist who had done stickers the year before?

Hope you enjoy Hollowstalk and Delilah ❤

When I learned Bloodwrit would be doing the NSFW art for the Beastly Tales Bookbox, I couldn't have been more excited! Who better than the same artist who had done stickers the year before?

So, I simply had to put these pieces side by side. Enjoy!

I wish it was a full comic! The comic is just on the back cover of this beauty, but there will be two normal books inside ❤️

The first omnibus of Monster's Duet is coming soon! Check out the amazing SFW dust jacket that hides the naughty interior cover.

Seeing the Elmstitch crew together in their fall glory... The comic on the back...

Every detail wrecks me.

Endlessly thankful Secrets and Starlight is in your hands 🥰

Book 3 is now in draft two. At this point, I know the story and am tidying the plot and improving prose. After the ending of book two, Ayla and Zayne are in *places* and... ohhhh, it's delicious.

When she makes a new scarecrow after trashing the first one🤭

“Sticks, cloth, glue, nails, wood, and plastic,” he mutters. “You think you can replace Hollowstalk with this?”

“What else would I use?”

“You’ve got me.”

“You’re not a scarecrow, Jack.”

When she first sees that the gargoyle from the museum has come to life...

"The gargoyle crouches on the railing, cast in the moonlight. He straightens, becoming a towering, gothic sight, his webbed wings spanning out from his body, surround by a cloud of bats."

Today, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has reviewed Secrets and Starlight. Your love for this story, for Ayla and Zayne, inspires me so much. I can't wait to bring you book 3.

When Ayla needs to dress up for the fae party they’re trying to infiltrate 🥵

From Secrets and Starlight, where he’s a necromancer in denial and she has no control over her powers. Their passion might just ruin everything.
