I had the opportunity to visit with lovely human and author, @catrinabell.bsky.social a few weeks ago at the #bookdragonfestival in Houston. I gifted her a bookmark, and picked up a copy of her book, "Beastly & Bookish," for my personal reading collection.

And now to start a needlepoint project for a friend.

A pattern on an embroidery hoop. It features 7 different knives with the words "no spoons left only knives " written around them. The pattern is drawn in blue washable pencil.

seeing a lot of folks talking about how conservative "pornography" bans are a pretense/prelude to targeting any & all queer or trans art, which is absolutely true also: banning & criminalizing actual honest-to-god porn is fascist in itself. say that too!

Maybe it's just the circles I hang out in on the Internet, but the guys who garner the "Yes, obviously everybody knows he is a good man" response? Bob Ross. Mr. Rogers. Steve Irwin. LeVar Burton. All of them kind, gentle, educated, soft-spoken, and love(d) learning and art and science.

sometimes I think about the microeconomy of commissions and get emotional if only for the fact there are many artists who are able to make a living based on the interest and good will of fellow working class folks who want to indulge in art. I hold onto that when I start to despair.

I started drawing fanart from @catrinabell.bsky.social ‘s book A Frenemy in Need before I even finished it. I just had to draw sexy Rexy! Seriously, a demon with bad boy vibes and a heart of gold, AND he does manual labor?! Where's mine? Love. #catrinabell #afrenemyinneed #demonromance #bookfanart

I’ve been working on UNTETHERING DARK since 2021 (where have the years gone?!), I can hardly believe it’s now available to preorder. - Witchy hygge settings - Lady villains - Scary monsters - “Couples who slay together, stay together” energy 📚: www.harlequin.com/shop/books/9...

A dark monster romance.
Untethering Dark.
Now available for preorder.

In the shadows of the forest, he waits…
A bloody and bewitching monster romance.

A winter hag in training, Astrid spends her days in the Black Forest sharpening her spell craft and flinging axes at tourists, and her nights leaving offerings to the ancient eldritch monster that guards the woods. She’s one sex ritual away from leaving the last trace of her unwanted humanity behind and stepping into her full power.

It’s the perfect life. Until a group of unruly humans brings that same deadly monster to her doorstep. Now, her only hope for survival is a plate of poisoned cookies.

Gudarīks has roamed the Black Forest since it sprouted its first trees, consuming any who violate his beloved land. Lured to the witch’s gate, he is amused at her attempt to poison him with sweets…but spending time with her awakens millennia of repressed desire. Astrid doesn’t shy away from the gentle caress of his claws or his most ravenous attentions.

As witch and monster find long-buried heat in the wintery landscape they call home, signs of a dark, lost magic begin to appear. When a rising supernatural threat has them questioning not only their ability to protect the forest, but Gudarīks’s own immortality, their only solution may be to share their strength and create a union beyond mortal comprehension.

Quick overview of my first published book, a pro-choice romance that makes me almost no money but hopefully lets new readers know where I'll always stand when it comes to basic human rights. The story itself is very light-hearted and steamy...hopefully a good time.
