IT'S OUT!

A tale of a pair of desperate lovers hurting one another and letting themselves be hurt just to feel something.

It is the tale of Roy, and his dangerous obsession. It is the tale of Sam and his self-destructive desire.

This is Thorns! Pick it up now!

The cover of a book. It is a scene in a space station's dock where two men are sitting on blankets, a bear in a blue jumpsuit and a trucker cap and a rabbit wearing a suit with the jacket draped over his shoulder. They are looking out through a force field at the planet Jupiter. The title of the book is "Thorns" by "Roscoe G. Beetle." A space ship flies by in the background. The two men are sharing a cigarette back and forth.

I'd like to see more Native American stories, on the condition that they're being told by the people who actually own them.

Which, yeah, that's probably easier to say than make happen, but nonetheless.

Honestly, you should request your library buy my books, not cause I think it's particularly likely that they will, but because if they did order gay furry smut that'd be hilarious.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

An explainer image for a character from thorns. It shows a pen and pencil drawing of an old rabbit leaning on a wall wearing a white suit with an undone tie and his shirt unbuttoned to his chest. He wears loafers. His ears are swept back in a way that suggests he's balding. He has a cigarette in his mouth which he is lighting with an old-fashioned lighter. Text: "Meet the cast of Thorns." Sam Thorn Age: Fuck you Planetary Imports Bullet list: Item 1: Insecure, manipulative, emotionally stunted. Item 2: Smells like a scented candle in an ashtray. Item 3: Divorced, doesn't like to talk about it. (Talks about it anyway) Item 4: Bored enough to make some bad decisions.

What do you mean a train from Eberron was swallowed by some death mists and got turned into one of Ravenloft's Domains of Dread as a wandering ghost train 😭

That's actually pretty cool lol

Desperation. Obsession. Self-destruction. Roy and Sam veer between tenderness, fear, joy, and violence as obsession and unexpected feelings drive into the other's paths again and again. Get your copy of "Thorns" by @roscoegbeetle.bsky.social at bewere.net/product.php?...

Pirates sail the high seas. Revolutionaries fan the flames of their causes through the streets. The world, once so close, now grows wide as new lands are conquered.

The Wideness of the World will release 13/12/2025 and is now available for pre-order.

Cover art of The Wideness of the World, with artwork by @sovka.bsky.social. The artwork depicts several anthropomorphic characters in a tavern, with one (a cat) gesticulating wildly as he tells a story. Several flagons of beer are on a candelit table and several of the people are playing a card game.

Thorns is coming soon from @bewerebooks.bsky.social and I thought It would be good to post a little explainer about something very near and dear to my heart.

Pick up this book if you want to see the relationship equivalent of a slow motion train crash, coming soon!
The cover of Thorns, featuring two figures, a bear and a rabbit, sharing a cigarette. Alongside the cover is text about the two characters. Everything it titled "Anatomy of TOXIC OLD MAN YAOI." Pointing at the bear the text says: Violent obsessive, Bad at sex, Low self-esteem, Eats nothing but junk food, Closet case. Pointing at the rabbit the text says: Most divorced man in the galaxy, Bad knees, Dick barely works, Chain Smoker... Also a closet case. At the bottom there are exclamations of "So cool" and "Wow"

If only Roy was on the internet enough to know how much ass "closeted trucker with belly peek and capable of great violence" would have gotten him...

I hope you're all excited for Thorns! I know I am!

#furry #Thorns #furrylit #furrywriting #belly
An explainer for one of the characters from Thorns. It depicts a black and white drawing of a bear wearing a trucker hat and an undershirt. He is fat, with his belly peeking out under his shirt. He wears a jumpsuit stripped down to his legs, with the arms tied around his waist, and thick work boots. He is holding a cigarette in his thumb and forefinger like he's not an experienced smoker. His face has a look of wide-eyed terror on it. Text: "Meet the cast of Thorns" Roy Archer Age: 45 FREIGHTER Bullet point list: Point 1: Lonely, desperate, touch-starved. Point 2: Enjoys pro-wrestling, swears its not a "Gay thing." (it is) Point 3: Big Paws. (The better to punch drywall with) Point 4: In love? Or dangerous obsessive? Why choose?
