An out of context spoiler for my next book Jingle Jingle Kill...
A still from the film Dragnet (1980s) of Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks about to don disguises of fluffy goat trousers to infiltrate a secret order.

Happy book birthday to @eulegrey.bsky.social and this achingly sweet gangster star crossed lovers story! 😍

Really enjoyed this one, Oli and Fionn are a Romeo and Romeo love story set against a mafia family backdrop. If you need a sweet pick me up, this is it!!

My weekend read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Merman's Delight by @skynightshade.bsky.social

This is a sweet, sumptuous, spicy, queer romance between a merman and a human lighthouse keeper
🧜‍♂️🌊🥚🫦

Really enjoyed this. It was just the right length to devour over my weekend.
💙📚🌈 #lgbt #fantasy #books #merman #Achillean
Book trope map. Book cover is Merman's Delight by Skyler Nightshade. The cover shows a pretty blue tailed merman with dark hair holding onto a human man, face out of shot. The merman looks to camera and is reminiscent of that classical hot angel Lucifer painting. The tropes around the book say weekend read 5 stars. Fantasy. Sweet and sexy. Merman/Human. Queer.

I have some wonderful character art of the leads, Arthur and Harun, to come! Can't wait to share it very soon, and talk about their professional roles more.

Black and white graphic image, half and half. White top half says "the Romeo agent" showing two martini glasses, a notepad with a UK flag (but not in a weird way!) with the name Arthur Romeo. The bottom half in black says "the Sleeper agent", bullet holes scattered across, a notepad with a Turkish flag says the name Harun.

We also see more of Special Agent Dinah 💅🏾 who is one of my faves to write!

These are the wardrobe picspiration boards I made for Di.

Readers will remember her briefly from Specimen, she's the agent who met David on the airfield and handed him a welcome pack. She's always impeccably dressed!
3 panel montage showing classic 90s and modern classic inspired fashions for young Black super models, suits and businesswear, plus a leather biker inspired jacket. 4 square panel inspiration board showing more fashion for Black women super models. Business wear, boss lady, runway coats, winter coats, tailored and impeccable taste.

Q: Is it connected to Specimen?

A: No, it is a standalone book with brand new leads, but it's set in the same 'verse, with a few of the same supporting characters appearing.

In Jingle Jingle we see a younger Shepherd 💅🏻 working with a younger Arthur.

Inspiration pics for Shepherd circa 1999/2000.
Picspiration board showing pretty young blonde actresses. 3 are a Bond villain played by Rosamund Pike. The second actress is shown outside wearing a light blue headscarf to suggest she's in an Islamic country, which is how i pictured a young Shepherd going about her spy business overseas.
