Clea Salar

I have seen two Astarion cosplays this weekend, both by people on the shorter side, posing the question of what would Astarion have been like if he were just a little guy?

I had a lovely reader interaction today that ended with me not making the sale. Because I realized quickly that the types of books I wrote were not what she was looking for. She was understanding, and we had a nice little chat. She was so sweet, and didn’t berate me for not writing what she liked.

I totally forgot to pick up lunch and I am manning this booth by myself today. Oops

The Forest Guardian, whose true name is whispered in terrified and awestruck tones, has vowed to stop her. This Christmas, can the Guardian (disguised as a shirtless lumberjack or something) bring Penny back to the Old Ways, and the pact her family once swore in ritual and blood?

Hear me out: A monster romance holiday anthology, where the plots are based on Hallmark Christmas movies. But with monsters. And 🌶️🔥.

After establishing a promising career in a real estate dev company, Penelosephone returns to her small town to oversee a new development in the Old Forest...

I need to make a spreadsheet of all the bookish events within driving distance.

Story done! Now it needs a title, cause we can’t keep calling it “We Broke A Chair.”

It's release day! Changed for Desire, the delightful sequel to Bound to Desire, has been unleashed upon the world! Enjoy a cozy-adjacent why choose fantasy romp with TTRPG vibes, found family, and a lot of f— um, feelings. Yes, feelings was totally what I was going to say. books2read.com/u/3nJ98o

Remember that urban fantasy gender flipped Snow White? The short story? Where the seven dwarves are shortstacks and fey? So it’s done but it’s 45K words. Yeah, I was surprised, too.

Everyone* fears Nahia. She won the war, but they all remember how. And what keeps her from doing it again? It tears her apart.

No one fears Octavia (except "pretty women are scary" types). They should, though. She's obviously a warlock and how do you think she safely travels alone?

*Except the MMC

Inserting f*ck as many times into the thank you as possible.
Offering to burn a lazy effigy of your enemies.
Hexing your ex with bad hair forever.
Calling you Daddy (regardless of gender).
Singing you a little song.
Dancing on the grave off your choice (mileage permitting).

We're reviewing Kickstarter's "Three Ways to Maintain Momentum" email. One of the suggestions is "Add a new reward" and all I can come up with is "Clea will send you a personal, possibly weird or inappropriate, thank you." Because I think it's funny. (We won't be adding it.) Examples include:

It's the final week for our Summoner Kickstarter! Summoner v1.0 and Summoner v2.0 are paranormal romance anthologies about a demon summoning app and the sexy chaos that follows. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I think they never left.

I have a praise kink and imposter syndrome. So I want you to tell me I'm a good girl and that I'm doing a good job, but I won't believe you.

Still editing the fluffiest 🌶️ thing Tallis and I have ever written. It'll be a nice standalone when it's done. Was talking with another author today about how it helps to have a few standalones, because not everyone's ready for a series. But it's so fluffy, not sure it's a good representation.

Went to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights last night. I had never been before, and it was so fun. I think as a former theater kid and someone who also did haunted houses, seeing that kind of event at that level of production was just magical.

You are 100% one of five reasons I am still on this platform. Good to see you too.

You are such an absolute gem.

Hey, babe! 💖

…Is this a trick question?

Summoner: Two Anthologies of Paranormal Romance Summoner and Summoner v2.0 are paranormal romance anthologies about a demonic phone app and the sexy chaos that follows.

Just a reminder that we have a really fun Kickstarter going on right now for our Summoner anthologies. One written by myself and @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social, the other by a group of our writer friends. They're fun, light-hearted, and sexy! Help spread the spooky season with some demon goodies!

Saved by Desire is done! And by that I mean written. But we wrote a complete trilogy! Time for the butt wiggling happy dance!

Charming Fetish, an imprint of Periapt Press, is running a Kickstarter for two anthologies in the Summoner universe!

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

We have an anthology with a demon summoning app coming next year. It’s part lexicon, part succubus/incubus Tinder, part infernal Yelp. A friend pointed out that we could make the different demons’ profiles, and now I am spending way too much time researching and designing this fake app.

I have sparkly sunscreen and the deodorant with aluminum. And books that would get banned in any Florida school district. Tampa, I’m coming for you.

How my editor knows my WIPs:
Warlock 2
30/70 story
“We broke a chair”

So I am super upfront about the fact that this is a pen name. And I am going to be doing an event in Florida, as this pen name. While staying with my father. And hoping he doesn’t try to attend said event, so I don’t have to tell him that I have a pen name.

Me: I think there’s too many spicy scenes in [WIP].
Editor: Well, there’s often a lot of spicy scenes in your work. What’s the ratio?
Me: Um, 70/30.
Editor: …is the 70 the story?
Me: No.
