I'm really excited for this book - It dives deeper into the machinations of Heaven and Hell, including WHY Satan fell...or was pushed out?

Following is the blurb: Lost and separated from his guardian angel, Nate’s succumbing to the dragging weight and drowning noise of his declining mental health once more. And now, a new, yet loveless, relationship threatens to rapidly destroy the happiness and progress Nate made with Raziel at his side. When a Valentine’s Day celebration with his new partner Rael turns into an eye-opening disaster, Nate is reunited with Raziel–his guardian angel, his love. But despite their joyful reunion, Nate is not the sole reason Raziel returned. A dark plan has been brewing in Heaven, and Raziel needs allies to thwart it. Navigating old and new relationships, Raziel and Nate have to rebuild their trust and forge unlikely alliances, while making up for all the time they spent forced apart. Will they stop Judgment Day, or is the world doomed? To the left lower corner is a mock-up covered of the yet untitled Angelverse 2 book

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

A trope map graphic for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. In the center 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. Along the top is a tagline and it reads: "a fast-paced blaze through Hell..." To the sides are the tropes. They are: coy angel wielding a lead pipe, deadbeat guitarist having a bad night, survival horror, m/m, silent hill x sorry we're closed, rotting seraphs hellbent on your death, finding a reason to live, and a pair of eyes you used to know. Along the bottom is a call to action for pre-orders and gives the url, books.earlronove.com/benotafraid.

Chasing the White Rabbit is now live!

It's a character driven space opera with a Farscape/Firefly feel and a nod to Alice in Wonderland. Fall in love with this chaotic band of misfits!

Find it on the Zon, and it will be available soon at other sources as well!

all right this cover (and back cover!!) are as done as I can get right now... can't do the spine yet since I kinda need a formatted and edited book. Barring little adjustments, at least it's done!!

I just can't show it off yet. :(

So, I hate to be coming here for stuff like this, especially when I haven't been very active like I used to... but I am very stressed about this in particular and I don't have much recourse right now. More info below, if you'd like👇

I really, really wanted Trent to use his guitar as a bludgeon at the end of Be Not Afraid. Except I couldn't think of how he'd safely get it to the end to be able to use it (much less not destroy the guitar in the process...). The scene still exists in my head, at least! #WritingPrompt
