Tbh, I'm very proud of how much I managed to create aspecs who aren't like me, just in Chosen? alone. It makes me happy to be able to show different aspects of these identities and I can't wait for this story to be out there and for people to meet them all. It legit keeps me going. #AspecAuthors

Also I dunno how I forgot to describe this one as the usual snappy "queer found family road trip" but that's what it is, and it's on sale for dirt cheap on itchio right now, alongside other books!

I am…

□ single

□ taken

☑Losing my purpose because I've realized every sacrifice I've ever made for the good of the world was based on a single man's delusions and in the process I have caused substantial harm I can never undo despite my good intentions.

A large black and white tentacle oversees BAKER THIEF's cover (a caped fat woman overseeing a cityscape at night, in purple). A quote says "'I love you" would never be right for them, but they had their own words--'Je crois en toi'--better and more tailored to him. They fit him, and he hoped they'd fit her, too."

And cover by The Illustrated Page Book Design for Dirt-Stained Hands, Thorn-Pierced Skin! 🌈📚 #AspecAuthors
book cover for "Dirt-Stained Hands, Thorn-Pierced Skin" by Tabitha O'Connell. It has a border of leaves and red roses, with the title text in a decorative font taking up most of the space. The title is overlaid on a castle with a blue sky behind it. in the foreground is the back of a person with short hair in a plain shirt standing facing the castle.

There's so much about her clan Sarah still doesn't fully comprehend. And being the youngest in her family means that even her sisters often leave her frustratingly in the dark about things. But she's smart enough to see through placating lies. She knows nothing is ever as okay as they claim.
The line "It's okay to be afraid, but you should always expect the people you love will come back for you" over a grid of four images tinted with a pink filter. 1. A raven perched on a stone 2. An open sketch book showing the drawing of a lone tree in a field with charcoal pens surrounding it. 3. A hand holding two Joker cards and four aces. 4. A graveyard surrounded by trees with sunlight beaming down on the grave stones.

I am tired. I have work. But I plan to write more of my lesbians later. Very excited for that.

If you want to know what I mean, see the attached screenshot 😌

This excerpt comes from Book 2 in AFTERMATH. Release date next year ?? 😅

Did you catch the cover reveal for ☄️BORN OF SCOURGE☄️ yesterday? If not, here it is again! This time with a close-up of Sol because I really like how he came out.

☄️BORN OF SCOURGE☄️ releases February!
Find more info here: linktr.ee/bornofscourge
#SFF #AspecAuthors #queerAdultSFF
Cover of Born of Scourge against a starry background. The cover features the main character, Sol, in the center in profile as he turns his head upward with his eyes closed. His hair is long and white, falling across his shoulders. He is wearing a dark cloak with a black fur trim made noticeable by the white tears in the background behind him. Surrounding his head in the background is a black hole with white tears around it. Written along the top of the cover is BORN OF SCOURGE and the author's name, S. Jean, is along the bottom. Close up of Sol in the previous image.

Gabrielle is a good friend and a good person, but has committed to a disastrous path, knowing where it leads, and will not be dissuaded no matter the cost to herself or others. And you can read about it here, if you'd like: #authors #AspecAuthors #WebSerial www.royalroad.com/fiction/2466...
Shadows Rise
It's a common misconception that we all see ourselves as the heroes in our own stories. Sometimes, hunting down the ones who caused you harm comes with the hefty cost of becoming exactly what you hate...

Sara and Cat are just so precious 💕.
For fans of zombie stories, and sapphic relationships, this is perfect.

sad cat taking the last fry meme with the caption "me" over the cat and "found family trope and well developed platonic relationships" over the bag of fries. Variation of the Drake meme with tragic queer romance on the top square and tragic queerplatonic trio and their stupid adopted teenagers in the bottom square.

Expected to become the next Alpha, Dani has felt the crushing weight of expectations since her training began, knowing her every move will be scrutinized by her clan. The burden of leadership might be monumental, but it is hers to inevitably carry. Failure isn't an option when lives are at stake.
The line "Don't allow yourself to change so far as to become the very thing you hate" over a grid of four images tinted with a green filter. 1. A cloaked red haired woman with blood stains on her face. 2. Two sai daggers 3. A woman's face obscured by a wolf. 4. A forest mirrored by a lake Piccrew of a woman with long red hair and blue eyes wearing a cloak, labelled Daniela Preston, She/her, surrounded by several text boxes with different lines. Perpetually crumbling under the weight of expectations Mastered the art of being a nuisance Fearless but at what cost lol, lmfao *having a panic attack* Exhausted middle child I will destroy you with my goddamn sticks A fucking extrovert (derogatory) Holy shit, a ginger! Knows the forest better than most Waiting for spring Original prankster Incapable of giving herself any amount of slack The fear of failure is strong in this one Gradually losing more and more of her shit by the second The future of the Wolfpack (wish them luck) Cares way too much about everything
