Graphic 1: Cover Reveal: Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. The cover shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face. Above the cover, text says “Follow the project on Kickstarter; launching April 1.” Below the cover, text says “Cover Reveal; artwork by R.E. Murray.”

You didn’t fail him but I know the feeling. You’re doing the best you can. I’m so sorry. Sending hugs 🫂

they have arrived *waves arms*

tonight I rest, but tomorrow evening after work I'll begin addressing them and get as many ready to ship by Saturday. If I do at least 15 an evening I'll have more than half dropped off at the post office.

Then whatever remains a few days later lol

I'm so stoked!!

Illustrated cover of WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS by S. Jean. In the center are two men standing back to back. The short of the two, Ambrose, has fair skin, red hair, glasses, and one green eyes and one glowing hazel eye. He is wearing an open button-up with an undershirt beneath it. In his hands are an open book and a potion bottle with red liquid inside. He is glancing back at the man behind him. The taller of the two, Renwick, has fair skin, dark brown feathered hair, and green eyes. He also has pointed ears, like an elf. He is wearing a dark vest over a dark shirt. In his raised hand are a bundle of daisies. While Ambrose looks unamused, Renwick has a coy smile on his lips as he gazes as Ambrose. Behind them is an open window with a golden glow and in the foreground are more daisies. The colors are soft and give it a sort of ephemeral feel. Along the top is a tagline that reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." and below is the release date, JULY 28th, 2026.

A blurb graphic for When Yesterday Ends. The blurb reads: Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life. At least, Ambrose Howl hopes so after his life falls apart. The town’s got everything he needs: a general store carrying his favorite cigarettes, a library he could get lost in, and a hedge witch who immediately befriends him. He settles in as an herbalist, using the knowledge he’d gained from academia that he’d left behind, and for once in his life, he feels like he could be content. It’s not so bad living in some rural, far-flung town. Until he’s visited and kidnapped by the skeleton valet of Renwick Frey, a fey lord living in hiding who is cursed to eat human hearts every five summers to remain alive. As his next victim, Ambrose saves himself by making the desperate claim of knowing how to break curses. Renwick is charmed enough to let him try, but if Ambrose can’t break the curse by summer’s end, then his heart is forfeit. The problem? He’s never broken a curse in his life, and given the mysterious circumstances of this one, he might even die before summer ends. Along the bottom is where to preorder the book, which is: https://books.earlronove.com/whenyesterdayends

WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS, my queer cozyish fantasy, is releasing July 28th! Here's the cover!

🌿 a grumpy herbalist who left his life behind
🌿 a fey lord who eats human hearts to live
🌿 a curse that must be broken before summer ends

Once I can afford isbn I’ll discontinue Amazon paperback and sell solely Lulu copies. Mayyybe Ingram but I hear a lot of sour things about it.

Boxes to ship out the signed copies of law of the dragons will arrive tomorrow!

Unsigned copies have been arriving and it’s been so awesome seeing the pictures sent of them!

It’s real 🥹🫶

Amazon paperback is continuing to have quality issues lmao I have to adjust the cover again. 🙄

dragon twins a snoozing

mind if I ask how, because I want to do this too. I'm so burned out but I don't want to give up the art dream :/

when you say personal IP, do you mean making art that is licensed out for a period of time by publishers? Or like indie publishing?

Feathers of Dawn is super cute, I really enjoyed it

recent batch of sketch commissions finished 💜⚔️

all for indie authors, respectively:
@lyrahaven.bsky.social , (two busts) @livrancourt.bsky.social , and Jae Cooper (who isn't on bluesky)

Enjoyed working on all of these!

the lighting was fun to paint (full uncensored is on p*treon)

if spicy, it's gotta serve the plot in some way
if not, then it'll just be fade to black because sex still happens and there's still a center romance to it lol

Tali's story. I'm trying to get there, eventually I'll just write it bc it's better done than never. It's darker than most my work. So I'm venturing into reading dark romance to view what I'm comfortable with, and then will do some practice work to prepare for it. Not sure if I want it spicy or not.

I'm 110% buying this though lol I can't wait for the release! Hope you get a ton of ARC readers x

I should have asked - is it going to be on Amazon and does it have a preorder link if so?

if I wasn't tapped out on arc reads I'm doing - this sounds so good ;-;

A boost for the evening crowd!
ARC applications are open for The Need for Dandelions!

Look what everyone helped bring to life 🥹😭💜

I have organized them by type, signed them, and quality checked (I need to replace 2)

Just put in an order for the packaging after double checking the size.

One step closer!
