A spread of six cover images that form one continuous canvas. The scenery goes from a red-sand desert (Awakenings) to a lush river valley (Flooded Secret), to a sea-side city (The Sea Spirit Festival), to a whirlpool in the water surrounded by a golden kraken (Stories from the Deep), to a beautifully carved stone corridor with etchings on the wall (Motes of Inspiration), and finally to ruins of stone bathed in deep pink moonlight (Ruined History).

Hello, yes, this is the project. We're working on taking our power back and creating a way creatives can maintain discoverability without being left at the whims of a couple prudish payment processors 🥰 check it out!

Dogs Don't Break Hearts Check out Dogs Don't Break Hearts - <p> <strong>After being gaslit by his ex-boyfriend and losing his friends' trust, Beck volunteers at a pet shelter, where he finds canine comfort and a new romance....

Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction.
