by two INCREDIBLE artists (@rowanhlaine.bsky.social), who put so much amazing work into capturing Tyler!

It's a super gay book where almost every character is queer (& the one who isn't arguably experiences life in a kind of queer-adjacent way). I hope it speaks to queer readers, but I also hope

In one he's checking out a vampire's skull with a magnifying glass (it has "sale" on a tag), in another he's running and there are a wolf and a nightingale beside a block with text. In the third he's taking a photograph of himself with the speech bubble: "Will we find a ghost today? Nope!"

If you were reading my works on ao3, I'm currently being targeted by AI bros who are leaving defamatory comments on my stuff. So If comments are turned off, you understand why. I debate AI ethics so of course chodes love to creep in and rage at me lol.

Has anyone else noticed AI bros love cat girls?

Because it has to be said, apparently, the first two panels are satire of typical Al rage comics. 100 drawn by me !

I completely understand that publishing times may vary and auditing is something that has to be done. However, everyone was telling me it only takes a few days for the smashwords publication to go through so I sat there twiddling my thumbs until it was too late.

I wish I had received notice.

Rowan H. Laine @rowanhlaine.bsky.social · 26d

@draft2digital.bsky.social My novella is on hold for an audit, leaving me in the dark without any notice until I finally contacted support.

I signed up with draft2digital so my readers would have options. My novella is part of a event with a submission deadline of September 30th.

Rowan H. Laine @rowanhlaine.bsky.social · 27d

it's too late, I already drew myself as an androgenous wolpertinger entity protected by a giant hot beefy lamia man. I win this argument.

“I’m a real boy!” *Pinocchio voice*

I’ve come out of my hovel to introduce myself: hi! I’m Soraya E. Quinn! And i’m an AUTHOR! 👋🏾🥹

If you like Black ppl, queer ppl, & a combo of the 2 getting absolutely SHMASHED by monsters, then stick around bb! 😘

Coming soon: my debut horror comedy novella 👀🦷

About the author Soraya E. Quinn. Pink and purple Illustration of the author smiling and holding a quill and notebook by Skylar Martyn Down. Emojis for fire, lips, smiling demon, wetness, and sweating.

Who’s Soraya? She’s a Black queer gal, monster smut enthusiast, silly goose, chronically dehydrated, a library kid for life, and a cutie pie on the outside with a demented furby on the inside.

What kind of books does Soraya write? Fantasy, horror, romance, and erotica books with monsters, Black leads, LGBTQ+ representation, and queerness that rains down from the sky like hellfire. She does not write chaste and clean romance; on the contrary, her romance and erotica has monsters banging so hard that you’ll need to take a drink.

What books are coming soon? Soraya’s debut is a 10,000 word horror comedy with monster banging, lots of laughs, a Black queer lead, and transgender representation.

The sharp little teefie illustrations inside novel were done by none other than yours truly - make sure you pick up a copy of Teeth so you can appreciate them!

Soraya is a stellar author and you don't want to miss out!

guinevereAI does... THIS when I prompt "pretty mermaid princess." At this point I'm starting to think the Anti's are wrong about AI having a soul, clearly this one stole someone's.

I made this meme to mock one about traditional femininity but then the poster deleted it and now it doesn't make sense. Weh.

Due to some issues with raising funding for the Servant of the Serpent proofreading, the book is going to be pushed back to NOVEMBER 2025.

I really appreciate everyone who's been faithfully waiting, pushing it back is the best course of action to make sure I deliver the quality my readers deserve.
