Digital pencil sketch. Henry and Hans are both  horseback. And they touch each other's palms facing each other as if they are dancing along with  their horses.

Well, I saw that horse dance on Luke's stream, and here I go.
Drawing horses in weird poses.
I have a tiny bit of #Hansry #fanart time since I finished one project, and will start the next one on Monday.
Probably will ink that and call it a day.

This is a black box with green/blue text surrounding an image of the book, "All the Wrong Reasons" by Sebastian Hansen (hi!). The cover depicts a hand telekinetically holding up a pair of handcuffs with the tagling "Surrender makes you stronger" at the top. The background is a seaside city skyline, intended to be Kinsley City, where the book takes place.

Now for the surrounding text (I hope you enjoy how little patience I have for this sort of thing):

At the top: "Here's the boring list of tropes that don't tell you anything about the story but are (APPARENTLY ((apparently is in all caps because emphasis)) now required for Book Marketing Purposes Trademark Symbol."

Tropes on the left from top to bottom:
#Gay Romance
#MMRomance
There are Three (3) Trans Characters
#SUPERHEROES (also all caps for emphasis) (Are those still popular? Shi--)
A billionaire with a heart of gold (no really!)
Uhh...kink? There's some kink!
Someone gets flogged off if you're into that (he is).

Tropes on the right from top to bottom:
We 've got Trans road rage!
Don't worry, the other billionaire is a bad guy
It's Vitally Important That You Know About The Car Sex.
Forgotten Friends to Lovers
He's the NICE (all caps) Supervillain!
Dangernoodle
Oh! We've got a #Meetcute in the City Morgue!!

And the text accross the bottom reads:

"Anyway, if you want to know what the story is ABOUT (all caps) please see the next image"

There is a small symbol of a hand pointing to the right.

The Blurb

The day after telekinetic supervillain (and billionaire philanthropist), Stetson Nadenheimer dies, he wakes up on the autopsy table and falls in lust with the man hired to cut his cold, dead corpse open. The problem is that the forensic pathologist is Doctor Julian Dandridge, the part-time superhero, Scatter. 

It’s probably a bad idea for a supervillain to get into bed with a superhero. Probably.

Not that it stops him, but trying to start a relationship with a reluctant hero without getting caught turns out to be easier said than done. Between midnight meetings over games of checkers and kinky secrets, Stetson and Julian begin a tremulous romance. Unfortunately for them, there’s an actual villain watching from the shadows, waiting for Stetson to stumble.

How To Fake It In Society cover. Background is a swirly-flowers wallpaper pattern. Image is hand drawn in a sophisticated style which is vaguely Eastern European. Two men in Regency clothes. Titus is tall, in a bright royal blue coat, glancing over his shoulder with a shy look. Nico is shorter, dark-haired, wearing a lurid green coat, bronze waistcoat, ruffled cuffs and tight pantaloons, and striking a Byronic pose with a handkerchief that matches his wasitcoat. They are standing back to back but holding hands. The tagline is Step 1: Don't fall in love. The title is in simple but elegantly flourished capitals.
