In a forest at night, a blonde half-elf woman and a woman lion stand facing a giant, floating manta ray that glows with starlight

I have to show off this new art by Killerlaurent on Instagram from my book, You Left Me the Stars. These are THE vibes

A man with rope tied around him. The other end of the rope is held by a blonde half-elf woman.

This new art of Atariel and Scorpio by @valeriokkai from my book You Left Me the Stars is making me laugh so hard

This new art of Xana and Atariel from my book You Left Me the Stars done by @valeriokkai feels like it should be illegal.

A weird thing I've noticed is that in books, MCs almost always fall into the "stress makes them unable to eat" camp, and as a professional stress eater, I'm tired of it. Anyway my MC raids the pantry for anything sweet the night before the final confrontation.

I'm am begging, BEGGING bisexual women in relationships with men to not center themselves in every conversation about queer representation. We know you're queer, but not everything has to be about you. (I say this as a bisexual woman)

Ahhh look at this new art of Xana and Atariel from You Left Me the Stars! Can't you just feel the gay panic? (Thank you sosososo much to killerlaurent on IG for making this incredible art)

Can authors STOP using "male" and "female" excessively?? No one is confused if you refer to an elf/fae/whatever as a man or woman, or, better yet, not with gendered terms at all!

This is my hot take: "Let people read what they want" should apply to GENRES, NOT specific authors/books. I'll never say anything about someone reading a genre I don't enjoy, but if you keep reading books written by racists/queerphobes/etc I'm going to assume you're also racist/queerphobic/etc

Two girls in their early teens, standing in a forest with their foreheads pressed together, and a text post over which reads "did you ever have an intense homoerotic years-long friendship in your early to mid teens that culminated in a dramatic friend breakup or are you straight"

I feel like this is the closest thing to a universal sapphic experience. If you feel personally attacked, you might be interested in my book, You Left Me the Stars. (Artist credit to killerlaurent on IG) #Sapphicfantasy #Queerfantasy #Author #Writing #Sapphic #Queer

A drawing of two women dancing. One is a black human woman wearing a blue suit, the other is a blonde half-elf woman wearing a green dress.

This is probably my favorite art that ProlixPat did for my book, You Left Me the Stars. My poor dumb gay babies. If you want to know more about them, check out the link in my bio. #SapphicFantasy #QueerFantasy #Queer #Sapphic #Author #Writing

The cover of tempered in ash. A teal blue/green background that has an art deco style border that looks like it’s been engraved into the book. The center features scenery of a small fantasy village nestled up against the mountains with a man falling from the sky. The bottom of the cover features the symbol of Mersari: a pair of wings pierced with swords, with a pair of crying eyes and a starburst.

I'm hoping to get more honest reviews for Tempered in Ash, so I'm opening up a review copy request form at the link below ⚔️✨ if you've had your eye on it, now's your chance to snag a free copy in exchange for an honest review on the platforms of your choice 💖

Continuing with my character art, here's Achelganor! He's the MC's adopted uncle(Adopted by her maternal grandmother) who raised her. (Art by ProlixPat on IG) #Author #SapphicFantasy #QueerFantasy #Ecofantasy

Thank you!!!

I've yet to read an M/F scene that doesn't have an ick or something cringey in it. But F/F always hits right.

A Chinese woman with shoulder-length dark hair swept to one side of her head, wearing a V-neck red dress, and holding a glass of red wine. Her face and arms are covered with burn scars that look like flames.

Time to post the character art of one of my favorite characters from You Left Me the Stars, Valrissa. Aka, everyone's favorite high femme top. (Art by ProlixPat on IG)

My WIP is like if a spicy romantasy and a workplace romcom had a child and that child was neurodivergent 🌶️📚

Time for character art of Lyla and Rolgar from You Left Me the Stars! Also done by ProlixPat on Instagram. #Fantasybook #Author #Writing #Queer

It's called You Left Me the Stars! My little intro and blurb for it is my pinned post

They're characters from my book!

Three characters in front of a light green background. The leftmost is a white man with red hair dressed like a ranger. His arm is around a blonde half-girl. She is looking back towards a black woman in plate armor.

Should I start posting my character art here #Queerbooksthreads? This was done by ProlixPat on IG!

Hey friends! I’m organizing a #queer #stuffyourkindle day to celebrate queer representation in the coming new year!

I ned to start challenging myself to start messages with something other than "Honestly," "Also," and "I'm just like." 😅

What's the worst thing to handwash and why is it colanders?

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
