To Love Like Venus is a literary novel in a near-future cyberpunk setting that’s all about love, relationships and how we cope with its heights and disappointments, whether partner, ideals or the symbols that become our children.

2 days left!

This book requires a trip to Venus, which means risk of immense heat, crushing pressure, and the risk of getting burned. Did we mention this is the planet of love?

A canceled pledge, so you know that means: room for someone new to join!

To Love Like Venus picks up from a few stories, photography and canvas work from Event Horizon: Stories of No Turning Back. Which you can also pick up discounted while backing!

Day 3 of New York Comic Con, and 3 Days left to back To Love Like Venus!

If you see artists with a live Kickstarter campaign at #NYCC, do consider giving them a back like I did at Writer's Block. You need Warrior energy to market a non-visible-yet book.

Thank you for taking the time to share that :)

PPS I am the writer, editor-curator and publisher!

Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos @theninagalaxy.bsky.social · 3d

PS THANK YOU librarians who go out of the way/have ability to shop from indie publishing events. I hope roles expand for this important job, as distribution systems shrink. Not a solution, but would love to c scouts who look for books like this, like I did when I was a not-librarian renegade.

Cousin Aaron Guzman knocked it out of the park with graphic design to make the original canvas work as book cover. Textured, for the feel of canvas. I had a strong vision with Bluster, and Aaron's own graffiti background fueled it even more. Shop janus-point-press.square.site/shop/event-h...

Latinx Heritage Month: The BlusterOne (James Alicea) Limited Cover of Event Horizon is now part of the library collection of The School of Visual Arts in NYC . This is especially meaningful.

Puerto Rican artist meets Puerto Rican designer and his PuertoGreekan cousin.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
