this guy's back to ask if you've preordered BE NOT AFRAID yet. He's getting a little crunchy. I can't imagine that's good for his skin (not that he and the other seraphs would care...)

4 more days remain until my survival horror, BE NOT AFRAID is released! 👁️

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: "4 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: "“I WANT HIS SKULL CRACKED OPEN!” the Leader screeched. “Open! Open!” “CRACK HIS RIBS OPEN!” “To his heart, to his heart!” “I WANT HIS HEART IN MY HANDS!”"

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

Those were wings. Fuck trusting angels."

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."
