It's okay to not be okay. You don't need to hide your pain from the people who love you.

Nathen is Jack’s little brother. He’s the golden child but that comes with its own struggles. The idea of the 7th son got to his head and made him do a lot of stupid things. He’s not a bad kid, but ignorance can be a dangerous thing. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #westernfantasy

“Folks always said I was the spitting image of him. Now, here I am doing what he did too. You proud of me, Dad?” #booksky #writersky #art #sketch #westernfantasy

A couple years ago, I lost my job do to severe health issues. I've been hesitant to self publish because of my dyslexia and the cost of an editor. I don't feel right asking for help, but I have a couple old shops. Any sales would help.

Howard is Jack's father. When he discovered Jack's magic, he used Jack to look like an upstanding man by shilling him out as a free doctor. It didn't matter that it hurt Jack as long as he seemed to be a caring man to the community. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #westernfantacy #antagonist

I've been struggling with my health issues a little more then normal lately so I decided to draw something just for fun. I think my snake oil sales skeleton would be best friends with Undertale's Temmie. The best shop in all the western underground. #art #undertale #skeleton #fanart #westernfantasy

I have a writing question. It my next book, one of my side characters have be giving me he/they vibes. With my dyslexia I can have a hard time keeping things straight. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can write a character with multiple pronouns without getting mixed up? #writesky

Caroline is Jack's mother. Being a young Mexican woman during westward expansion, she felt forced to marry a rich white man to keep her home. Now she feels helpless to protect her children from there father. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #westerfantacy

I'm 3. I make a timeline and my characters say no.

Another scene a did some art of. It was fun but there's a reason I did it as a book and not a web comic. 😅 #westernfantasy #writersky #booksky #T4T #art

Cyrus is the dragon adopted by the Eden family. He's in that teen phase where he's trying to hard to be the man of the house while still being a kid himself. He has a charm to let him look human. #booksky #writersky #dragon #westernfantasy #characterdesign

Esther is a side characters who demanded more attention. One of her ancestors adopted a baby dragon and now the family guard this dragon or the dragon is guarding them depending on how you see it. I plan on doing more with her descendants in other books. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign

I drew a moment from my book. The first time Chester is introduced to Jack. Chester loves Clay but Clay wishes he didn't. #art #characterart #skeleton #westernfantasy #booksky #writersky

Ellis is Nick's lover. He's not built for the life of on the road, but he didn't have much of a choice. He might not be good with a gun, but he's an expert with tools, and smarter then most would think. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #westernfantasy #gaycowboys #lgbtq+

Nick is a normal guy who didn't even know magic existed. By chance, he was hired to guard the mermaid child. He noticed the bond Clay and Jack shares and took it upon himself assure Clay that that love is real. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #westernfantasy #gaycowboys #lgbtq+ #eldergay

Jack can't use too much magic without draining himself. Clay makes sure to take care of him when that happens. #art #T4T #lgbtq+ #booksky #writersky #characterart #gaycowboys

Thank you. Hopefully my writing will do her justice.

River is a mermaid child. She was taken from her family so the gang work to get her back. River was a stand in name but it grew on me too much to change. I molded her design after a rainbow trout. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #westernfantasy #mermaid

Alic is basically an over worked middle manager. I always show my boyfriend my art. He said Alic was hot, so I had to make him pan for him. #booksky #writersky #characterdesign #pansexual #lgbtq+ #westernfantasy #satyr

Zoe is a nymph who works for a secret group that protects cryptids. She's sent out on field missions often because she can blend in well. She's dedicated to protect those who can't protect themselves. #booktok #writertok #characterdesign #ace #sapphic #westernfantasy #nymph

I spent the last few days writing a short story about two side characters instead of editing or writing my next book. These two barely had names in the first draft and now I wanna write more with them. It's probably because I made them the elder gay couple. #booksky #writersky #LGBTQ+ #gaycowboys

My mom read your books to me when I was a kid. I'm grateful that you were the author I was introduced to. I know Alanna wasn't trans but her story meant a lot to me as a closeted transman. Thank you for giving me books that were a safe place for me to explore my identity.

Finally did full art of my boys together. Something a little spicy for the end of pride month. The month might be over but pride is all year round. #pride #pridemonth #T4T #lgbtq+ #characterart

Just your average skeletal magic salesman. No snake oil or anything that could explode in your face. No refunds either. #skeleton #lgbtq+ #aroace #characterdesgin #booksky #writersky #westernfantasy

Pastor Green is a very personal character. He's based of my first pastors, an old married couple. They taught me that queer Christians aren't a contradiction, hateful Christians are. #queerchristians #lgbtq+ #booksky #writersky #characterdesgin

Toby Joyce is Dahlia's husband and the bars cook. He spends most of his time in the back cooking and so people don't worry why he's over 8 feet tall. Favorite food to cook is soup. #western #characterdisgn #writersky #booksky #lgbtq+ #stillbi #soup #giant

Dahlia Joyce is an old friend of Clay's father. She's busy running her bar but makes sure to keep an eye of her old friend's son. Like any good Aunt, she immediately sees the spark between Clay and Jack and helps make sure they see it too. #western #characterdisgn #writersky #booksky #lgbtq+

Quick update on my book. I've gone through a couple edits so I've started looking at publishers. In the meantime, I'll continue to make smaller edits where I can and I'll be working on my next book. #writesky #booksky #publishing

I understand that feeling. Even one paragraph is proses. You got this.

When I wasn't ready to publicly come out I privately tolled people I trusted in person. My dad, who already knew, was around one time I was doing this. He stood behind me softly pretend crying, "I haven't lost a daughter, I've gained a son." #happyfathersday #allyparents #dadjokes #straightsbeingok
