“That’s cheating. You’re using superpowers,” Mina said. She couldn’t struggle one bit, but she wasn’t uncomfortable either.
“They aren’t superpowers. It’s just me,” Luci said. 1/3

I made an iron bar background using a brush in procreate. It fades from blue to green to red. A close of from the cover art (created by Meowlayn) is centered on the slide. Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes. She straddles him as he holds her up, his black wings spread and the stars behind them. Text reads: I thought we could play a game,” Luci said. Beelzebub rolled his eyes, “I suppose you want me to be the Minotaur and chase you all down.” “No. Definitely not. It’s my game. I’ll be the Minotaur. But you’ll all be my helpers.” He glanced around the room, making eye contact with each of his friends. “Mina will be playing our virginal sacrifice.” “Luci, I’m hardly a virgin,” Mina said in a dry tone. The cover art for The Little Death by Susan Beth Cole. Mina straddles Lucifer as he holds her. His black wings are spread, keeping them aloft above lava. The night sky is behind them. Luci is wearing all black. Mina is wearing a blue dress that flows behind her. It’s truly gorgeous artwork by the very talented Meowlayn.

This is what happens when I draw the perfect tentacle in procreate--I completely overuse it.

Did I mention that there are tentacles in The Quickening?

Cover art by @meowlayn.bsky.social

#tentacles #ParadiseOurs #ParanormalRomance #DemonRomance #SpicyRomance #Romancelandia
We have a purple and brick red nebula cloud border around a green and blue nebula cloud background. Over the top of all of that there's text that reads, "The Quickening." Then there is a block of text that reads, "It was made of tentacles. Mina could see it now, the thing holding her, Abraham, as it descended on her with yet another tentacle, tucking it down her tank top. He looked like a mass of rubber, slithering against itself with only a small center to house his mouth and a cluster of eyes. It gripped her Bleep!, winding around it like rope, then placed one of its suckers directly onto her Bleep!. She felt a pulse against her Bleep!, and her Bleep! hardened." Around the text, I've added six tentacles. They are reaching away from the paragraph. The front cover of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. There is a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blouse. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. Text above them reads, "Susan Beth Cole." Across the bottom reads, "The Quickening: A Paradises Ours Novel Book 2" I have added black tentacles randomly to the cover. The front cover of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn.

Is it October yet? I'm so excited to share this snippet with you. Til is short for Infertility and she's one of the expanded Horseman of the Apocalypse. There are 256 of them (4 to the fourth power).

#ParadiseOurs #HorsemanOfTheApocalypse #PNR #WithBetaReaders #OctoberRelease #Romancelandia
A nebula cloud background with stars and nebula clouds made with the nebula brush and the cloud brush in procreate. This time the colors are Orange and baby blue for Tabitha and Til. Text reads: “You became close with War and Famine?” “They both held the largest pieces of my heart before you came along, before you opened up the possibility of more. A new path.” “Somehow I managed to do all of that without even knowing.” “You did that by being you.” Til pressed up on her knees and kissed Tabitha’s nose.

The cover art for The Little Death by Susan Beth Cole. Mina straddles Lucifer as he holds her. His black wings are spread, keeping them aloft above lava. The night sky is behind them. Luci is wearing all black. Mina is wearing a blue dress that flows behind her. It’s truly gorgeous artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. I've added quote bubbles. Mina's reads, in blue text, "My soul has been lost to you for a long, long time." Luci's bubble, in green, says, "How can you say such a thing? I would never be so careless with your soul as to lose it." The full cover spread art of The Little Death by Susan Beth Cole. Mina straddles Lucifer, one hand on his shoulder, the other cupping the back of his head. He holds her against him. We see almost all of his right wing. Mina’s dress billows in the wind over jagged rocks and lava. The night sky is behind them. Meowlayn created this gorgeous cover.

#ParadiseOurs #ParanormalRomance #TropeArrows #BookSky #DemonRomance #SecondChanceRomance #Romancelandia
I used my nebula cloud background, half purple, half brick red as a background. The cover of The Quickening has been centered. The cover has a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blazer. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. Around the cover, arrows point to the book with a trope descriptor at the end of them. The tropes read: Multiple love stories, forgiveness, strong family bonds, second chance romance, healing thru bed sports, a haunted house, bi/pan rep, tentacles, bondage, found family, breeding, and exhibitionism. There isn't actually an arrow for the word "tentacle" but a tentacle that I drew in procreate and I'm way too proud of.

I might be angry at the patriarchy at the moment. Telling off God is cathartic.

The background art on this slide is from the cover that Meowlayn created for The Little Death. There are a few jagged rocks, mountains in the distance, and a night sky. Text reads: How do you catch the devil's eye? You tell God what you think of Him. “Yes,” God said. “As is my grand and perfect design.” “Grand and perfect?” Mina barked, a bit more sharply than was wise. Her temper rose, rivaling the hellfire around them in its heat….“More like barbaric and disgusting.” “What?” God asked, His eyes widening. The background art for this slide comes from the back cover of The Little Death. There are more jagged rocks, lava, mountains, and the night sky. Text reads: How do you win the devil's heart? You refuse to back down. “Hmph,” God said, crossing His arms and stomping His foot like a child. “I’m the creator of all. I am infallible—” “If you are infallible, then why does my heart ache at the sight of this place?” Mina interrupted, gesturing to those in pain around her.

This background was made in canva with two layers. The first layer had the nebula clouds and stars I'm so fond of. The second layer is a tree with brown bark and mostly green leaves with a splatter of blue. I used the blackwood brush to make the mark and the snow gum brush for the leaves. White text reads: The Little Death “I’m going to have you, Mina,” Despite the thick denim of his jeans, she could feel every curve and contour of him as he pushed against her. “Right here against this tree.” by Susan Beth Cole A close up of the cover art by Meowlayn of Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes, stars and a bit of Luci's wing are visible in the background.

Over my nebula cloud background of purple and brick red, I've placed the cover of The Quickening (art by Meowlayn) in a black border. It's off to the right side and extends just a little bit past the center of the slide. The front cover of The Quickening, artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. There is a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blouse. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. Text above them reads, "Susan Beth Cole." Across the bottom reads, "The Quickening: A Paradises Ours Novel Book 2" Text reads, “Naughty Word Count: Cl1t: 64 Br3@st: 48 C0ck:41 N1ppl3:29 L@bi@: 22 D1ck: 19 P&ssy: 16 F0lds: 16 V&lv@: 10 V@g1n@: 8 C&nt: 6 B@lls: 5 P3n15: 4 P3t@ls: 2.

Over a nebula cloud sky that includes five different clouds--the center is orange, magenta, light blue, silver, and brown surround it--text reads: Paradise Ours Book 3 21 Years After The Quickening "What do you want?" "I want you to set me on that counter and f**k me until we're both too weak in the knees to walk." "You want me to incapacitate us in enemy territory?" Gabriel raised one eyebrow. "Yes. Everywhere.
