I have a friend who wants let's see.. "sexy merman ornaments" for Christmas.
"Hmm... might be hard."
Nope. This is an entire thing!!! (And yes, there is a RCMP / Mountie one too.)

Bonus points to my dumb brain, I couldn't remember the lyrics in the song I commissioned.
I also forget the words for my favorite song, and I've heard it over 10,000 times. Still.
Wow, why does my brain suck with music so bad. Anyone else like this?

It's 10 pm. I just finished my exercises. I am cramming beef jerky into my mouth.

I don't need to even tell people I have a book that the Fatality (by Kaioh) song is based on. Apparently, they do it for me.
Also, I love the Eurobeat community. They're so cool.

When I have these often Nigerian book marketing and publishing scammers DM me, I get particularly peeved.
I'm LGBT. ALL my books are LGBT. 223 million people in this one country HATE LGBT people. You're not my advocate. You're not my ally. You can't rep my writing.

Twitter exposes users' country locations, violating privacy/safety. On the other hand... look at all the bots and grifters preying on writers by pretending they are a bunch of things they're not.

Still baffles me how I go from a sloppy sketch to a polished picture. Especially since this one took an outfit change. I only draw myself with what is in my wardrobe, but frankly this outfit is a little more class than some of the other things I own.

I really love (despise) book cover contest. Especially when there's AI covers in it. Especially when there's AI book covers that are bad and beating mine.
This book cover fails the dementia clock test. Somehow, 6th place with 117 votes.
(PS, vote for mine, Duality of Forces.)

I'm just glad I do art mostly for myself. Because if I did it for the views and likes I'd cry.
Artists don't get a lot of traction, and my stuff is no exception.

This picture was the first fan art I did receive of my book's main character. I know lots of writers and authors are super happy to get their first ones.
But I also can't proudly show it to anyone without prefacing it with, "Would you like to look at my character's butt?" 🤣

Some of my books may not have HEA (happily ever after) endings, but it's still 5 stars!
Maybe this writer (me) should have thrown in a space puppy.
