Oh shit, hi everybody!! I'm Bri, a self-published author/digital artist. I've published two duologies (space opera and anime-inspired urban fantasy), and am currently working on a standalone post-apoc SFF about fugitive werewolf brothers!

linktr.ee/brittanymwillows #writingcommunity

A promotional graphic featuring THE HOWLING DARK's concept cover against a blurry photo of mountains, surrounded by a list of some tropes/themes that appear in the book. Text reads: Eclipse-born werewolf (i.e, special in fucked-up and beautiful ways); post-nuclear Earth-like setting; were-caracal bounty hunter; fugitive werewolf brother; a dash of M/M spice and romance; messy, messy relationships; corrupt space government; Brother Bear x Wolf's Rain; doomed siblings; ragtag rebels; elements of botanical horror. Cover depicts a young man with soft features in a fur-lined hooded jacket holding a spear, peering through leafless tree branches. He has long slightly wavy hair, white on one side and black on the other. His right eye is blue, left is brown. He has a scar over his left eye.

A promotional graphic featuring 3D mock-ups of Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart's, surrounded by a list of tropes/themes that appear in the Cardplay Duology. Text reads: Abundant hurt/comfort, inky body horror, hot-tempered fire wielder, bird girl with plant magic, a celestial deity with a penchant for murder, a budding QPR, returned magic, slow-burn romantic subplot, asexual panic, monsters born from malice, softhearted scythe-wielding girl, snarky cat-eared thief. Bloody Spade's cover depicts a black silhouette of a short-haired cat-eared boy with a glowing purple spade in front of him. Bleeding Heart's depicts a white silhouette of a girl with deer antlers and long flowing hair with a glowing heart in front of her.

First of all, apologies for the relative silence from this account as we have been dealing with Certain Matters, although the Rumours of a Goblin Rebellion are at best Exaggerated and Scurrilous.

It's wild that it's just around the corner after waiting for it for a whole year (after finding out it actually existed last year haha). I can't wait to see what it's all about and finally meet some more online friends in person!! 👀

Cara Nox 🖤🩸 FAMILIAR OCT.28 @cara.ink · 4d

🖤🩸 Reminder that FAMILIAR, my achillean vampire book, is releasing Oct 28!

If you want to grab an ebook at a discount, you can purchase from my PayHip!

🛍️ caranox.com/familiar

🌈🚀💫 🌃📚 🌈📚🪐 💙📚👀 📢📚 #queerAdultSFF

A picture of FAMILIAR, a book with a red cover and while text with a black droplet that reads "An Occult Misadventure" along the top by the spilled coffee cup.

The background features a black tray on a black blanket with star lights, a fake plant, and a stack of books along the wall.

Familiar (An Occult Misadventure) by Cara Nox—a book with a spilled coffee cup on a small black portion, pouring out red and filling the red of the cover with the title that looks like vampire teeth, complete with a black blood drop—sits in the center of the image. It’s surrounded by tropes, rep, and teasers on a black background. Clockwise, it reads: errand boy for vampire hunters, awkward gay mc x goth bi li, coffee shop meet-cute turned disaster, mistakes™ were made, hunters with ulterior motives, don't be suspicious, chaotic first person narration, vampires, werewolves, & witches. At the bottom, it reads: Familiar, Urban Fantasy, caranox.com/familiar

Re-sketched a sketch from 2020 ✨

An old sketch of my character Iori (a 17-year-old boy with cat ears) bunching his shirtfront in his fist, yelling in anguish. Black ink smears stain his face below his right eye. Rain drips off his hair. He wears a sweatshirt with the hood up.

Same concept as the previous image, except in this new version, I've drawn his hood down

Can I interest anyone in some doomed yuri ♥️♠️

My characters Ophelia and Vy from the BLOODY SPADE prequel story, foreheads touching, somber expressions on their faces. Ophelia is a fair-skinned woman with white deer antlers and crimson hair tied back in a long, thick braid. Vy is a tan woman with short, straight purple-black hair, and cat ears angled downward. Ophelia wears a white cream-colored dress, Vy wears a dark purple-gray bodysuit with black fur draped over the shoulders.
