I didn’t do arcs with crimson knight. the time to make a decision with haunted warrior is rapidly arriving 😶 still haven’t made up my mind yet but I currently a form for sign ups in my drafts. I’m gonna think on it some more, but my feelings have gone from hard no to a coin toss

I think I’m gonna do that “January-February” trend at the end of the year with my art. I’m so happy with how much I’ve improved! Next year my goal is to focus on improving my rendering. Which means I’m going to have to build my stamina bc I always lose steam when i get to coloring/shading 🧍🏽‍♀️

White text with arrows pointing at it reads: everything’s on fire!, epic team-up, what do you mean I have to stop this volcano?!, all the dragons!, oh shit!, series finale, stronger together.

A *lot* of indies (myself included!) who are wide are part of Kobo Plus because they don't ask for exclusivity like KU. Really encourage people to try it out.

Kobo is doing a 30 day free trial promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus for new subscribers (not sure if this is US only), if you like queer indie books, small press SFF, and backlist SFF from large publishers there's a lot to choose from on this service that's not on KU!

Fractured horizons is on the back burner (again) but beta feedback on intro has been largely positive. I thought the last draft was gonna be “the one” but doing a a massive overhaul instead 🥲 I think this one is gonna execute my intentions better.

I’m drafting the third book in my fantasy trilogy. It’s going a lot slower than anticipated, but just focusing on getting the words down and will iron things out later. Currently on ch 3.

Half-angel Iustivan lives a quiet life with his girlfriend until angel eaters devolve into unhinged savagery led by a vengeful angel he knows all too well.

MARTYR! x THE NAMES but isekai

Max sees no future for himself until death reshapes him into a noble in an alternate ancient East Asia. As Yoon, he has it all: status, affection, & a prediction that his love is lethal. Is life worth living if it comes at others’ suffering?
#QuestPit #Q #A #LF #HF #F
This is a flowery graphic with post-reincarnation Yoon on the left and pre-reincarnation Max on the right, but turned at an angle with their character artworks facing each other. Above fancy robe-wearing Yoon there are lines that read: In the stillness of death, he immortalized her as his ever-loving, ever-living flower. It would be an eternity of affection. Above florist-uniformed Max are the lines: It wouldn't be so bad if this were the end, he thought... In their family, inconvenient things were silently buried. Especially death.

Have had a lot on my plate lately so didn’t get to finish ch 2, but I’m only 400 words away from my minimum word goal so still counting it as a win. Def not doing 50k this month but want to make as big a dent as I can.
