you want our books for free? join our ARC program, you can claim anything we've published at no cost, all we ask in return is a 100 word minimum honest review.

yet when we put out calls for ARC readers, we get mostly crickets...

...and I know some of our books have been pirated.

Freeing the Spirits of the Sea
This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

This is the first thing I painted in Procreate! I had to switch to digital for a book I was illustrating. I’ve decided not to take on more illustration projects. I’m kinda trying to figure out my style again.

COVER REVEAL! Delighted to share the gorgeous artwork by @siaobell.bsky.social for our next erotica anthology MONSTEROTICA: TALES OF UNUSUAL COURTSHIP AND COUPLING.

It's queer monsterfucking.
🌈📚

Kickstarter launches later this month! Follow our pre-launch here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...
The book cover for "Monsterotica: Tales of Unusual Courtship and Coupling." It depicts an ambiguously gendered creature with a human-esque face and torso, but huge white, gray, and brown wings and bird-like legs ending in talons. They are looking toward something out of sight to their left, and are naked except for a necklace with blue stones which covers their breasts. They perch on a rock, blue sky behind them and blue water beneath them. FRom the water, several pink-purple tentacles emerge to carress them, one along their leg and torso, one brushing their cheek, and one between their legs.

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt
