EVEN SEINTS FALL: a monster-hunting exploration of identity, religious corruption & believing in something greater than yourself.

💀Seven deadly sins as monsters
🩸Chronic illness rep
🥀Religious corruption
🖤Found family

#W #YA #F #H #posterpit
Image shows a dark, moody photo of a cathedral with the title, "Even Seints Fall" with red splattered across the final word. Subtitle at the top of the poster reads, "A gothic horror fantasy." Underneath, two sets of accolade-style laurels accompany text reading, "One last adventure" and "One last chance." A mock five star review reads, "ID LITERALLY DIE FOR HIM" - my best friend. The bottom of the photo reads, "Kara Siert" in a smaller subtitle.

Finding out you're sick as a 9-year-old is so inconvenient. Now as a boring grownup I just schedule my checkups into impromptu shopping trips. It gets better(ish)👍

Apparently I've fallen into enough holes in the backyard that my toddler finds it necessary to warn me about them...

We are almost at 50 written reviews for Artifice & Access! 😍

If you're a #reader of fantasy #books 👀 you may have a good time with this one!

And if you've already read it, writing a short review will help me continue uplifting disabled & chronically ill writers 😁💖
An image of shrek running, facing toward the bottom right corner, with a bright green wavy pathway beneath him. Above him is the green text "we're on the way to...". The path stops in the lower right corner where a wooden sign reads "50 written reviews". in the bottom left is magazine cutout letters that read "help" above small green text that says "graphic design is my passion". on the right side of the image is a screen shot of the 4.64 rating and orange stars from Goodreads. Two images of the blue book cover for ARTIFICE & ACCESS sit on the left and right of the image.

I want your empowering/supportive/disability justice messages, poems, and sentiments for the Disability in Dystopia Anthology!

I'm going to make them into art for the collection.

Submit a picture or typed message to [email protected] 💌 from now until November 1st!
#books #disability
This image contains text on a two-toned green background. Header text in white reads "Handwritten message submissions wanted". Below that, a ripped piece of paper has brown handwriting that reads "We will survive. Together!". In the bottom left there is a slightly askew neon green mail sticker with the image of a green gas cloud and a skull. To the right of that is light pink text that reads "Write an empowering and supportive disability justice message, poem, or sentiment. Take a picture & submit to dis-anthology@outlook.com It will be included in a collage inside the upcoming anthology!" At the very bottom, centred, in bright green text, is the message "if you cannot hand write it.I can do that for you! Simply submit it as a typed message."

Toddler wants to know who's coming over today. The answer is NO ONE. No one is coming over today. I am not prepared to raise an extrovert help-

I've been dreaming about the day I'd see my own name on a book cover. A massive thanks to JV Artists for making the cover of my dreams! Child of the Dragon is releasing March 10, 2026 from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social and preorders are available now on their website!
A purple background with the cover for Child of the Dragon (A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley). Fire and ice surround the cover in a way that gives it a somewhat 3D effect. The text reads Cover Reveal at the top and across the bottom it says Coming March 10, 2026

Me: Oh, okay, baby wants to do it. So you just needed some moral support?
Toddler: Uh-uh.

NOBODY WANTS THIS x YOU, AGAIN

She sees love as a balance sheet.
He gets paid to read romance novels out loud.
Dating isn't working for either of them, so what are best friends to do?
Start a podcast to figure out what they're doing wrong, of course.
