minimalist cover with a sketch of a coyote that has an owl head. it says DAMN YOUR LIES in white cursive overlaying the sketch

2025 has been no good but sometimes you find tiny snake friends in your yard and that’s not bad

I keep seeing this passed around as an example of people on the far right being fundamentally different as humans. This is not true.

The fascist movement just has a generations-long apparatus creating sustained pressure toward violence in outlier members.

Quote how you draw women

A simple rough sketch of a naked woman with a headband sitting around A cartoony inked digital drawing of a woman who is very bruised and wearing a shirt that says “ouch,” though she’s still smiling a bit A blonde girl sitting with a huge golden wolf beside a pond A blonde chubby woman viewed in two poses. In one, she bends to talk to a wagging dog. In the other, she walks away with a beach ball

💙📘 GIVEAWAY 📘💙

I'm giving out three free copies (via BookFunnel) of The Liar's Throne, my brand new fantasy book. All you gotta do is QRP answering this question:

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ELF EVER? (Astarion? Legolas? Keebler?)

I'll pick three replies at random tomorrow (Monday). #booksky

I am slowly picking at a drawing. What gender do you think is the person on the bottom?
Two portraits of people next to each other. One is definitely a guy with short hair and the other one has jaw length hair

I think if I have an author brand, it's deadly women, golden retriever men, and mysterious nonbinary entities - the three genders. (kiddingggg) (mostly)

“I’m weeks behind the search for the assassin. I can’t wait another moment,” said Lor. “The paladins are searching,” said Idan. “But I’m the only one who will be able to find her. Ah, my servants! Dress me!” He made the demand grandly, arms wide, as if he were not being held steady by the captain of the Drakalban. The servants hurried over to do as demanded. “What makes you think you’ll be able to find her?” asked Idan. “Fate, my friend. Fate! It’s not every day your future wife tries to assassinate you!” said Lor. “I’d love to know why.” And Idan said, “Your future what?” A sparkly blue cover for The Liar's Throne by SM Reine, featuring a crown sitting on a chest.

I call that universe Upon Her Divine Body because the world is literally and figuratively on the flesh of a goddess! I really can’t pick a favorite character though. Everyone except Xeta is my favorite, lol
a) what is the name of your universe for atop the trees/liar's throne b) who's your favorite character in that universe

Help! EVIL SARA from an alternate universe REPLACED MY COVER FILES with a worse version of The Liar's Throne. She ran back across the dimensions twirling her mustache and cackling. Now I have to fix my original cover (left) by undoing all her fuckery (right).

Can you spot all the differences?
A spot-the-difference game made out of the book cover for The Liar's Throne by SM Reine. Normally it's blue and sparkly with a crown sitting on a chest. The evil universe version is cluttered and discolored.

Nina’s amusement grew at his nervousness, and her full lips thinned to show her teeth. “I’m not here to kill you. I’m going to let you hire me.” “Pardon?” asked Lor. “Someone hired me to kill you, then treated me as a loose end. They sought to remove me from this life. I always kill a traitorous client. I imagine you want him dead too, so you should hire me.” “If you’re going to kill him anyway,” he said slowly as he thought it out, “then why should I pay you to do it?” “I’ll make it as messy as the murders at Liverwort Manor. It’s more fun when it’s personal.”

I got the proof for the paperback. It's got a nice heft to it! It needs some minor adjustments but looks fabulous.

Four more days! books2read.com/b/theliarsth...
A paperback copy of The Liar's Throne by SM Reine. It has a "not for resale" band across the cover, which is gross, but you can still see the crown on the hest.
