Support queer pornographers and erotic artists now because the number of remaining avenues for them (us) to get paid are shrinking

And keep hassling payment processors and government

A digital illustration of a character on a flat black background. The character is an early-twenties, masculine human. He has warm pale skin, light brown short hair and green eyes. He wears a deep olive green and gold blouse, brown cropped pants, and brown lace up boots. He carries a brown leather messenger bag, and a barn owl is landing on his shoulder.

Want a little short story snack? Might I offer you some Salvadoran folklore inspired religious ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ?

This is as good an excuse as any to really tap into my Salvadoran heritage and bring y'all a tale of Catholic folklore based in El Salvador. There may be more to come ๐Ÿ’œ

The cover of Learning to Bleed by Cat Rector, the sequel to Coal Gets In Your Veins. The cover is in the style of a classical painting, with a blush-grey background. In the foreground are two characters locked in a dipping embrace. Spencer, a pale man in a dark blue turtleneck sweater and jeans, with blonde bed-head hair, is holding up another character as she loses control and seems to be falling. His expression is lost and loving as he looks down at her. Laurel is leaning back in his arms, her long brown hair in waves over her back, her face up to the sky as her expression of uncontrolled rage stares upward. Her eyes are red and her mouth is wide open, showing her vampire fangs. A pool of blood soaks into the shoulder of Spencerโ€™s sweater, coming from Laurelโ€™s hand as it hangs above his shoulder. Laurel wears a tank top and red and black plaid. A red mist obscures their legs, making room for the title and author text. The cover artist is Scherville.

Learning to Bleed comes out March 18th and artist @scherville.com is so deeply talented I can hardly believe it!

This book is the 2nd in a trilogy that explores queerness and trauma through vampire lore, all against the backdrop of an impoverished rural community that has its own monsters ๐Ÿ‘€
