by two INCREDIBLE artists (@rowanhlaine.bsky.social), who put so much amazing work into capturing Tyler!

It's a super gay book where almost every character is queer (& the one who isn't arguably experiences life in a kind of queer-adjacent way). I hope it speaks to queer readers, but I also hope

If you were reading my works on ao3, I'm currently being targeted by AI bros who are leaving defamatory comments on my stuff. So If comments are turned off, you understand why. I debate AI ethics so of course chodes love to creep in and rage at me lol.

Has anyone else noticed AI bros love cat girls?

Because it has to be said, apparently, the first two panels are satire of typical Al rage comics. 100 drawn by me !

@draft2digital.bsky.social My novella is on hold for an audit, leaving me in the dark without any notice until I finally contacted support.

I signed up with draft2digital so my readers would have options. My novella is part of a event with a submission deadline of September 30th.

it's too late, I already drew myself as an androgenous wolpertinger entity protected by a giant hot beefy lamia man. I win this argument.

“I’m a real boy!” *Pinocchio voice*

I’ve come out of my hovel to introduce myself: hi! I’m Soraya E. Quinn! And i’m an AUTHOR! 👋🏾🥹

If you like Black ppl, queer ppl, & a combo of the 2 getting absolutely SHMASHED by monsters, then stick around bb! 😘

Coming soon: my debut horror comedy novella 👀🦷
About the author Soraya E. Quinn. Pink and purple Illustration of the author smiling and holding a quill and notebook by Skylar Martyn Down. Emojis for fire, lips, smiling demon, wetness, and sweating. Who’s Soraya? She’s a Black queer gal, monster smut enthusiast, silly goose, chronically dehydrated, a library kid for life, and a cutie pie on the outside with a demented furby on the inside. What kind of books does Soraya write? Fantasy, horror, romance, and erotica books with monsters, Black leads, LGBTQ+ representation, and queerness that rains down from the sky like hellfire. She does not write chaste and clean romance; on the contrary, her romance and erotica has monsters banging so hard that you’ll need to take a drink. What books are coming soon? Soraya’s debut is a 10,000 word horror comedy with monster banging, lots of laughs, a Black queer lead, and transgender representation.

The sharp little teefie illustrations inside novel were done by none other than yours truly - make sure you pick up a copy of Teeth so you can appreciate them!

Soraya is a stellar author and you don't want to miss out!

guinevereAI does... THIS when I prompt "pretty mermaid princess." At this point I'm starting to think the Anti's are wrong about AI having a soul, clearly this one stole someone's.

Due to some issues with raising funding for the Servant of the Serpent proofreading, the book is going to be pushed back to NOVEMBER 2025.

I really appreciate everyone who's been faithfully waiting, pushing it back is the best course of action to make sure I deliver the quality my readers deserve.

Eee! This one feels made for me 😭

The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle is set over July/August & I tried very hard to have it evoke hazy summer feel.

Not sure this graphic turned out any good, but ah well. D :

And bonus portrait of Tyler by @littleevil0ne.bsky.social !

Digital painting of a skinny white guy with curly black hair, standing in the red-lit woods. The blue beams of his cellphone light one side of his face in blue, in contrast to the red. "Hide and seek champion" is written on his shirt beneath a picture of Bigfoot! The further into the room I walk, the brighter the stars and moon glow above, till they shine an aura around the massive shape dividing the room. It’s another taxidermied animal, and from the size, it must be an elephant or a grizzly or— Lantern eyes blink on like headlights on a darkened highway, and the room thrumms with the boneshaking base of the monsters in the woods. As my eyes adjust, I get a glimpse of its full size, though the creature’s body is too dense a black to look at straight on. From clawed feet to eartips, it’s twenty feet tall. Its back bristles as though with fur, hunched or rounded like a cat’s. Its legs . . . its legs are too long, too spindly, the joints poking out like the skin is stretched cellophane-thin—like the creature in Gene’s basement. Its neck and jaws are long, swooping, so that it could hang its head to the ground if it wanted to. Even though its mouth is closed, I know in my bladder its teeth will be katana-sharp
