Happy book day to Ansel and Calder, they're celebrating appropriately of course 🍾🥂
and if you give Peacock a read, thank you!! It means so much to me! 💕

Las Vegas, 1962:
Calder is an ambitious young man with ties to a criminal underworld, Ansel is the mysterious object of his desires, and love is nothing more than a game. ♠️
Peacock is out now!!! 🦚

Peacock... tomorrow 🦚♠️
if you're looking for a nice hefty book about some men ruining each others' lives in hotel rooms and casinos and sometimes driving around in the desert, boy do I have a book for you.
Ansel and Calder holding cards (interior illustration from my book, Peacock) text sample reads: “I'll assume family isn't your favorite topic either.” Though the tone of the man’s voice remained amiable, his expression darkened. “Why do you say that?” “Well, you’re here, aren’t you?” The man glanced vaguely at their surroundings. All around them was a sea of loners-- desperate, unblinking eyes trained on slot machines, cigarette-stained fingertips, parched lips that seemed to remain unsated, drink after drink. The season of noisy tourists and lovesick young couples had come to an end, and the crowd that remained for the casino’s quiet, autumn weeknights was lean and hungry-- for money, for distraction, for the fleeting reprieve of a stranger’s touch. Calder’s point, it seemed, had been well taken. The man sighed and gazed down at his hands, notably bare and absent of any sign of a ring, as Calder was pleasantly surprised to discover. This fact seemed to bring the man little comfort, however. When he noticed Calder’s eyes on his ringless fingers, he withdrew them quickly, adding curtly, “I'm divorced.”

bad dog part 2.
THAT was too far.
Osprey: ...but you liked it, didn't you? Betony: (definitely into it) What?! Osprey: don't lie. I can feel you. (Betony slaps Osprey, who looks smug about it) Betony: Get out. Now.

You can also read the prologue + chapter 1 of Peacock free on my site for a bigger sample! 😘
come get your tragic 1960s age gap gays. Watch this divorced bird dad and horrible little catboy (badger boy) ruin each others' lives.

bad dog :)
(knights aren't allowed to top, but Osprey gets a little lost in the moment.)
part 1...
Betony starts kissing Osprey, and Osprey gets a little too forceful with him, a liiiitttle too toppy... Betony is surprised but kinda into it (but that's also embarrassing) but this definitely can't go on. "Osprey..." Osprey does not let up and kisses him forcefully again, tipping Betony back against him. Betony: (definitely into it, needs to abort this immediately, grabs Osprey by his collar) ALRIGHT Osprey. That's enough.

does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your [knight collar]

Reposting some art of Calder and Ansel as I prepare to release Peacock into the world next week...
please look forward to meeting these men with problems. (their problem is mostly each other)

one more belated halloween couples costume for the road, this time Mylos & Betony ❤️ honestly they could probably just wear these any time and go to the club.

Their other “costumes” (this is what Lilian gets for not dressing up)
👨‍🍳🔥🦐
Osprey (in chef costume, holding pan of fried rice): Alright. Get in. Lilian (shrimpy): ha ha. Very funny.

Honestly unfair of Lilian to make Osprey wear this and not dress up himself :/
Osprey (annoyed, in a sexy nurse costume) : why am I the only one who dressed up? Lilian (in his usual clothes) : we’re nurse and patient, aren’t we? Since I’m already unwell, I thought I wouldn’t need a costume…

In this world, bats have eggs... and they're a delicacy 🦇
#saturdark
“My uncle is always proud to flaunt his bounty,” Lilian explained, flashing Orris a cloying smile as he reached for the gilded cup at his place setting. Osprey watched curiously as he opened the slotted top to reveal what appeared to be some sort of steamed egg. “Jellied bat egg,” Lilian informed him in a whisper. “They’re better than they sound.”

this is my secret self-indulgent late game bullshit that will not have context for the longest time but just trust me when I say none of my characters are immune to this. It's one of my greatest joys in storytelling to figure out specifically how it happens.

Kinktober - Collar/leash
the secret role reversal Betony and Osprey... someday they'll learn to switch... someday.
(Betony chained up to the bed while Osprey holds his collar/leash) Betony: You really don't need to chain me up, y'know... I'm not going anywhere.
