A tarot card illustration with an art nouveau frame, ornate silver filigree. A person from the mouth, down to about mid chest is depicted, holding a rose and pressing a finger into a thorn. Their hair is thrown over one shoulder. The bottom of the card says "Ace of Thorns" A black and white title page that has a line drawing of an open garden gate, covered with ornate swooping leaves. The top of the gat has a bat and moon motif in curled filigree. In a blank space in the middle, it says "Tales From The Night Garden, Vol. 1, Lemon Balm, Artemis Quinn and Auden Eris-Everen" A book on a dark green background with silver filigree bats. It says: Lemon Balm. In a purple square it says, Synopsis: Cypress Borne is 22 years old, a dashing young non-binary lad with a fairly easy life in New York City. That is-- fairly easy until their routine is interrupted by a vicious dog attack on the way home from the gym. Their life turns upside down after that one singular event-- blackouts, unexplained fits of rage and lost time plague him. Two years of medical tests, therapy, and a life that's spiraling down the toilet later, they navigate their way through the panic attacks and the hopelessness to an old, derelict, and a seemingly abandoned church in the woods, away from the noise and the people. Little do they know, the church isn't abandoned but rather occupied by a vampire hoping to die and rotting in a coffin. Acanthus Sylene believes that a fine wine should never have an age attached, and neither should a fine being. Nonbinary in such a way that gender is completely irrelevant, Acanthus has lived a very long life and is frankly exhausted by it. Embroiled deeply into the politics of the World of Shadows, they have abandoned their duties to The Night Garden, a refugee path that they forged. But, something changes when a lost, scared, ignorant werewolf shows up on their door step. Both of these preternatural beings are looking for answers. Somehow, instead of finding their place in the world, they find each other. However, in the process of finding and growing with each other, they may have put their entire lives-- and The Night Garden-- at risk. A painting of a pale woman vampire standing in front of a window and a red curtain. She has long, pointy ears and curved fangs, glaring out of the window. It has a bright light coming through the darkness, illuminating her face. There's a crack in the lower right pane.

Still looking to raise some funds so I can get back to work. Been a thin few years, and this is happening just as I’m trying to finish a big personal project, and also means, I can’t take on any jobs in the meantime.

Any help, even sharing, is appreciated.

Thanks!

#QueerWriters It was a pretty good week! I took a break, and this morning I was able to bang out 500 words before a book signing! Despite bad weather, we've sold 3 books, which is really good for a debut author at a small book store ♡

Got about 50 minutes left to the event, too :)

Audio - I can listen while I work.
E-Book - Portability/ease.
Physical - smell, weight, comforting.

Lately I find myself checking out e-book or audiobooks from the library, and if I enjoy it, purchasing a physical copy. (Low spending moneys, tight budget.)

Into The Woods by Tana French. The ending leaves some aspects unresolved (MC's past is involved with an unsolved mystery) and you're left wondering what happened in the original case. I personally liked it because it was both satisfying and unsatisfying. Kept me thinking.

Much like my characters, I come up with a vibe and then look up quotes or things that fit that theme.

The Night Garden started with witchy, floral connotations, so all of the individual book titles are herbs.

Such Sweet Sorrow started with the vibe — grief horror — (1/2)
