A pre-order signed copy bundle graphic for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. To the left is a 3D copy of the book itself with a bookmark and a print beside it. The cover and bookmark have the same graphic on it (Seth with pink wings leaping across the page), while the print is Seth holding a standing Trent in his arms, golden wings wrapping around both of them. Next to the previous print is another one of Seth and Trent sitting in a subway car. To the right is the important text relating to the pre-order bundle. It reads: "Until NOV 3rd, pre-order a signed physical copy of BE NOT AFRAID through my ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/earlronove/shop/preorder Copies will run $20 USD (+shipping) & comes with... x1 bookmark! x2 Seth & Trent prints! (bookplate bundle also available!)

Less than a month to pre-order a signed paperback of BE NOT AFRAID! And, because I think prints are neat, I've added a second one to the goodies to entice you that this pre-order bundle is pretty cool!

(there's also a cheaper bookplate bundle with the same goodies!)

Trans People Take on The World Itch Bundle Background: trans flag Text: Eligibility & Genre: At least one Main Character is trans (yes this includes nonbinary!) Plot-central trans (and LGBTQIA+) themes are welcome, but not required. Your MC combatting transphobia is welcome, but not required. MC's who are incidentally trans solving murders, defending their kingdom, curing cancer, fighting a zombie apocalypse etc are very welcome. (So SFF, Thriller/ Mystery/ Crime/ Historical/ Drama etc.) Romance and NSWF involving a trans MC is welcome. Categories: Adult Fiction, novellas and full length novels.

November is Trans Awareness Month. But that title seems ill-fit to current politics, so I chose a better one for the Itch book bundle I'm hosting Nov 1-14.

Authors, if your MC is trans (yes including nonbinary!) and your book meets the criteria bellow, let me know and I'll DM you the sign up form!

My 2nd book of the Deity Chronicles has a trans FMC 🩷 Would love to include her

"CINDER OUT NOW!" title, with the cover of CINDER by DN BRYN and the words "If Cinderella hid a darker identity..." and "Vigilante justice, Pigeon magic, Complex & painful family dynamics, Everywhere but the bed, Aro-spec prince"

I'm so pleased to see my trans M/M Cinderella retelling out in the world! I hope ya'll enjoy this slightly darker story than my usual. (I promise it still has just as much heart 💖 )

Currently available below, but paperbacks will appear elsewhere within the week:

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 Spencer’s sweater, coming from Laurel’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 👀

An ad for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. To the right is the cover featuring Seth, an angel with pink wings, white hair, and bright eyes leaping across the cover in profile while pink smears the blue background and eyes stare at him. To the right of it is the description for the work in question, which is: "Deadbeat Trent Cain can't catch a break. Life's been one disaster after another, rent's always due, and he's always late. Even his band doesn't want anything to do with him anymore and playing the guitar was the one joy he had left in life. When he takes a shortcut home through the park at 3AM, he walks right into another disaster: five angels waiting to greet him. Unfortunately, despite their proclamations of be not afraid, they mean him harm. His only hope is another angel wielding a lead pipe, but there’s something familiar about this one..." Below it is a list of what you'll find in the work. They read: decaying seraphs, a deadbeat guitarist, a coy angel with a lead pipe, an otherworld parallel to ours, and blood & viscera everywhere. On the right side below the cover there is more text and a URL where to preorder and the release date, Dec 6th. The URL IS: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

Do you want a fast-paced novella featuring scary and violent angels after a deadbeat guitarist having the worst night of his life? Then you should check out my survival horror novella, BE NOT AFRAID, out Dec 6th!

Leim who is embracing Ash from behind is tall, pale-grey, with grey-blonde hair, and has a bony ridge running up the center of their forehead. Leim has their hand over Ash's, and Ash's hand is placed over his own heart.

A quick diagram of who can be considered "sapphic." There are two circles. One red small red one and one giant green one. The small red one says "cis men." the giant green one says LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE.

Since there seems to be some confusion on the topic i made this handy diagram when asking "is this sapphic"

why fimbulvinter's fires s my favorite of all my stories - GET TO KNOW ASH AND LEIM FROM FIMBULVINTER'S FIRES - Art description: Ash and Leim (pronounced Lime) embracing tenderly during a blizzard wearing parkas. Ash is shorter by a head with light brown skin and dark hair and beard. Leim who is embracing Ash from behind is tall, pale-grey, with grey-blonde hair, and has a bony ridge running up the center of their forehead. Leim has their hand over Ash's, and Ash's hand is placed over his own heart. They both have their eyes closed as if relieved and taking a moment to just hold one another as a blizzard rages around them.

Why "Fimbulvinter's Fires" is my favorite of all my stories:

- it was a planster project with mostly discovery writing
- its 1st person present gives a rawness new for me
- genre blending to the extreme
- I made conlang for it!
- the ending makes me cry EVERY! TIME!

Six images with rounded corners, with text that reads "Submissions open, Sept. 15th to Nov. 30th. Paranormal-aspecs.carrd.co" Images are 1. A sign with a chunk bitten out of it in a forest that reads "Beware of the -" 2. A notebook with a stylised alien head that says "A Field Guide to the Paranormal" 3. Two sheet ghosts wearing sunglasses swinging on a playground swing set 4. A man stands staring at a shadow that looks like a more wolfish human 5. A young person with fluffy hair holds a glass ball that has a prismatic light reflecting off it 6. A hand with blackened fingertips and flames like candles at the ends

I'm a sucker for a good mood board, especially with silly ghosts
