Recently, my local library system added 80+ digital copies of my NewsPrints series (both books!) to their libby catalogue! IDK what caused the sudden order, but it's exciting to know people can access my books hi-res so easily from their libraries now! :3

Libraries! there's so much media available for free at libraries!
Did you know that you can read my publisher books for free if your local library carries it? if they don't, you can request them, and that helps me as the author, too! 🥰

If you have the Libby library app, you can request books from all the libraries you have access to with the click of a button! :3
If your library uses this feature and sees a bunch of Notify Me 🔔 's from their readers, they may look into purchasing the ebook or audiobook!

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

i started watching buffy the vampire slayer bc i never saw it! it sure is!! very 90s!!
something i do miss about the 90s is the lighting for tv, especially for natural light scenes! there's something very warm and comforting about those specific tones. i used to see it all the time in commercials.

saw an artist knock out that frieren angle meme like it was nothing bc they were so used to drawing it in nsfw fanart, proving that once again, obsessively drawing nsfw of your favorite ships will make you improve leaps and bounds as an artist 😂

For anyone wondering, YES, I did in fact draw more Black Jack and post them on my Patreon. I'll probably draw more of him and then my FAVORITE Tezuka boy, Rock. ❤️😎

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

This sucks but the psychic damage I sustained the first time a younger person looked me dead in the eye and asked “what was it like to be alive when emo was cool” was also a tough burden to shoulder lmao
One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Casimir from Saint for Rent?! Wow, that's definitely a character I wasn't expecting! Human scientist turned into a vessel for something inexplicably supernatural. Here's some Before art of him and his (morally gray) politician wife.

✨The LIMITED EDITION of Saint for Rent: Volume 1! ✨
This special edition still sparks joy for me! The slipcase's design was unusual enough to warrant an "Are you sure?" when I described how I wanted the foil and gloss to look, but it turned out exactly right!❤️
