The first time Matthew sees Cory, he thinks he’s a recreational drug-induced hallucination. 🤠 #SundaySnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WriteSky #HQPress #QueerWriters

Excerpt from SmokeWIP, a sage Owen romance novel wip. Text as follows:

Fuck, he'd overdone it. He'd timed it perfectly-the pills he'd taken before leaving the house were kicking in just as he hit the Macon Ranch driveway-but must've fucked up the dosage because crossing from a sleek timber green Ford toward the main farmhouse was another version of Billy. Tall, lean muscle, like Billy halfway between high school and grown. Shaggy hair two shades blonder, like he lived in the sun. A t-shirt with the sleeves cut off and cropped to his belt, and boot cut jeans, and wire-rimmed boxy sunglasses like he'd just stepped out of a 70s cigarette ad.

He shifted the Bronco into park beside Billy's precious Sierra, leaned back, and closed his eyes. Counted to five. Opened them. The vision was gone, and he breathed easier. He checked his pockets for everything he'd need to survive the night, and went to play happy.

Billy greeted him with enthusiasm he didn't deserve, an arm around his shoulder to steer him around and introduce him to the parts of his life Matthew had jealously avoided. Dance hall friends, a couple rodeo and ranch acquaintances, then-"This is one of my cousins, from Montana."

I got this finished up! :) It was done with watercolors, gouache, acrylic ink and walnut ink.

A watercolor painting of a skeleton wearing very thick and flowing and draping robes with a hood. It is very gently embracing a human figure, who presses their head against the skeleton's chest and shoulder area as though seeking comfort.

Did you know baby platypuses are called "puggles"? I did not. I ran here to tell you.

A cropped photo from "www.zoo.org.au via Roderick Eime", of two platypuses. Their matte black beaks and claws, their shiny looking otter fur. They give birth to blind and hairless "puggles", who can't even swim for 3-4 months old.

This isn’t the first time Matthew wakes up with no memory of what happened last night, but it’s about to be the worst! 😬 #WIPSnips "fresh" from SmokeWIP #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #LGBTQWriters

Excerpt from SmokeWIP, a sage Owen romance novel wip. Text as follows:

His throat was too raw to clear, so he helped himself to a glass of water, half interested and half freshly revolted by the smell of coffee.
"What happened?"
"Your keys are by the door."
"What happened last night?" he pressed. A fresh wave of bile—no, that was panic. The longer Cory resisted telling him, the worse it must be.
Cory pivoted to face him, leaning back on the counter, arms crossed defensively. The coldness in his eyes, the antipathy on such familiar features, jarred. His voice was aloof, carefully level. "Go. I've got work."
"You can spare five fucking minutes—"
"Spared you more than you deserve already. Get the fuck out." That hurt, shouldn't have, and he couldn't figure out why it did.
He studied Cory for cracks, found no evidence he'd break. In a few
short weeks he'd proven himself Matthew's natural match for stubbornness and argument. If he didn't want to speak, he wouldn't, and apparently he didn't have the time for Matthew to force it with a roundabout argument. He left his glass on the counter.

Lark is at rock bottom. Betrayed, career in ruins, lying to everyone she loves, and running into town’s top bachelor. Literally. Sweet, optimistic loverboy vs miserable, worst time of her life skeptic 😒 meet uncute 🤫 secrets 🏘 small town, big rumor mill 🌶🌶🌶 reluctant chemistry #BluePit #w #a #R

Mood board for Song and Dance, Sage Owen’s small town romance novel WIP. Includes a dark haired woman, a man in a cowboy hat, small town countryside scenes, a piano and acoustic guitar, a woman cuddling a golden retriever, and a close up of a man and a woman’s hands loosely entwined.

Post reads: My (26f) boyfriend (27m) discovered my biggest secret and sold it to a tabloid, and now I’m unemployed, getting sued, dragged on the internet, and hiding from it all in my childhood bedroom in my small hometown

Screenshot of an AITA-style post. User image is an anonymous photo of a man in a black Stetson cowboy hat, and the user’s account name is “Billy @runmercerrun”

Post reads: I (23m) have a comfortable, quiet life in my smal hometown. I work hard, love reading, and go dancing with friends.

2 years ago I got my heart broken by my childhood crush (worth it). Now I’m ready to fall in love for real, and I can’t find the right woman. Am I just unlucky in love?

Excerpt from Song and Dance, a sage owen romance novel WIP. Text as follows:
A screech of metal on metal. Lark stomped instinctively on the brakes. "Fuck!" she hissed, correcting the wheel, and jammed her ancient Toyota into park to get out and see what she'd done.
The pickup was old but other than the nasty streak of brick red paint she'd left on its chrome fender it appeared to be in good condition.
How had she been so clumsy? Oh right. A Carrie Wrangler hit had come on the radio and she'd been distracted trying to turn it off. She just couldn't escape her ruined life, and now she'd caused a car accident in a fucking parking lot.
The slam of a heavy door. A big man came around the truck. "You alright?" He didn't even pause to assess the damage. As he closed in, he nudged back his hood and knuckled up the brim of a baseball cap.
Lark bolstered herself for confrontation. "I'm so sorry, jesus I took
the turn too tight and—"
"Hey now." He soothed, smiling. He was looking her over. His brown
eyes were soft with concern. "But you're alright? Not injured?"
God was he serious? She frowned. "No, I'm fine."
"Well alright." He said, relieved.
"Again, I'm sorry-"
"It's just a little paint. Nothing worth crying over." He made an
offhand gesture, dismissing it.

Original Art by the oh-so-talented Andrea Corstini of snow-covered thatched roof buildings on a cold night. The text reads: “Torian is free at last. After four years trapped with the insidious Guild of Mages, he returns to the village he despises to reclaim the lover he left behind. But when a devastating curse leaves Lochlan transformed, broken, and fighting for his life, Torian is forced to rely on Colm: former bard, single father, and rival for Lochlan’s affections. Stuck at Hollyhawke in the dead of winter, they must find a way to save the man they both love... before the tension ignites into something far more dangerous.”

Original Art by the oh-so talented Andrea Corstini, the image is of the main character, Torian, in front of a bright moon on a snowy night. Torian wears a green cloak, black runes marked down his cheek from one eye, and a glower expression. The full moon illuminates a sparrowhawk in flight. Behind the mage, a cozy cottage glows warmly in the cold night air. A figure stands in the doorway, wood in hand. The overall vibe is glowy and even cozy, but the grave expression on the mage’s face tells a different story.

I once had a fickle work printer, so one night I circled the office supplies around to witness its shame. Stapler, scanner gun, etc. All pointed at it like some kind of humiliation seance. It worked. Tried it again the next night. Worked again. It became our lil ritual before clicking the button.

He just loves to be bossed around a little. Wife guy behavior all the way down. #WIPSnips "shimmy" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #romance

Excerpt from a sage owen romance novel WIP, text as follows:

"No. You come here." She savored the pent-up longing in his eyes,
and the way he registered her words with glinting delight.
"Yes ma'am."
She imagined she wasn't much less hungry in the way she watched him draw his shirt off overhead, then shimmy out of his jeans to reveal a feast of bulky, beautiful muscle. He crawled in under the blankets with her and she pushed him onto his back. His grin was gleeful. "Yes ma'am." He repeated as she climbed on top of him, pressed him into his pillows, and kissed him.
It was so easy to be with him, maybe too easy; she was inclined to hurry through it, eager at every point to have more of him. But he resisted her rush enough to be a tease, to set her whining and squirming at being denied, even when the reality was Billy would clearly never deny her a single thing.
