bon appé{𝖙𝖎𝖙}

my big special boy!!! THANK YOU, he had a great time :3

He got his own treats, but he couldn't resist the cake for people either. It IS his cake though, so that's fair ❤️

He's extremely soft and plush!!!

He's been so spoiled... my birthday prince!!!

Between book release and celebrating my baby boy Pallas' 10th birthday it's been a very busy week. But look at my son... He's been spoiled with so many delights this week and he deserves every one of them... 😭💜

nodding... their boobs do make up for some of it. You're welcome to both of them (if you can catch Ansel) 😏

Calder holding Ansel by the scarf :)

They're so bad for each other for a million reasons 🥰 anyway, check out Peacock if you're interested in learning more, and thank you... for looking at my mans (only Calder wants your attention, Ansel is running away into the woods and will never be heard from again)

Ansel portrait

Ansel having a confusing nightmare...

Ansel: a deeply repressed, divorced bird man in his 40s. Really good at winning lots of money in poker, doesn't actually know what to do with it. Drives in the desert while dissociating & thinking about space.
Likes: gin, his car, thrilling card games, sublime landscapes
Dislikes: being tied down

Calder (portrait) wearing his usual ostentatious clothes

Calder lounging with his shirt open, looking smug (his near constant state)

Calder laying on a bed with his pants off smoking a cigarette (Looking at Ansel)

Calder: The bastard son of a crime boss. Honorary catboy, chaotic bisexual, thinks the world is at his fingertips because he's in his early 20s (but maybe he's actually right.)
Likes: fine wine, fine dining, obnoxious midcentury modern furniture, seducing older men
Dislikes: being told “no”

The cover of Peacock

Las Vegas, 1962:
Calder is an ambitious young man with ties to a criminal underworld, Ansel is the mysterious object of his desires, and love is nothing more than a game. ♠️
Peacock is out now!!! 🦚

Ansel and Calder holding cards (interior illustration from my book, Peacock)

text sample reads: “I'll assume family isn't your favorite topic either.” Though the tone of the man’s voice remained amiable, his expression darkened. “Why do you say that?” “Well, you’re here, aren’t you?” The man glanced vaguely at their surroundings. All around them was a sea of loners-- desperate, unblinking eyes trained on slot machines, cigarette-stained fingertips, parched lips that seemed to remain unsated, drink after drink. The season of noisy tourists and lovesick young couples had come to an end, and the crowd that remained for the casino’s quiet, autumn weeknights was lean and hungry-- for money, for distraction, for the fleeting reprieve of a stranger’s touch. Calder’s point, it seemed, had been well taken. The man sighed and gazed down at his hands, notably bare and absent of any sign of a ring, as Calder was pleasantly surprised to discover. This fact seemed to bring the man little comfort, however. When he noticed Calder’s eyes on his ringless fingers, he withdrew them quickly, adding curtly, “I'm divorced.”

Peacock... tomorrow 🦚♠️
if you're looking for a nice hefty book about some men ruining each others' lives in hotel rooms and casinos and sometimes driving around in the desert, boy do I have a book for you.

Every once in a while Osprey gets a W, but he shouldn't get too many, or he'll get cocky ;)
