#AwesomeCharacters #writingcommunity Looking at all of my characters (Jackson, Max, & Nico from UHN, and Damien & Cal from my taboo WIP), I'd probably have to say Nico. He's predictable in his unpredictableness, so like no one is surprised when Nico does some whack shit, but what exactly it is

Oh HELL no, #Audible. So you're going to not only steal my characters, infringing my copyright and IP, but you're also going to steal the voices of my brilliant audiobook narrators for your utterly crap AI chatbot? Get - and I say this with my whole heart - IN THE SEA! #NoAI

Old art posting🌿✨

Artwork of Kye and Jude from Name Her Holy. They are framed by an arch and dark purple flowers with stars nestled in them. Kye has Jude’s jaw in her hand, is kissing her on the nose. Jude is leaned into her with arms around her waist. Jude is white, has freckles and a long scar over her nose, an auburn braid with blue ribbon and flowers in her hair. Kye has tan skin covered with scars and short brown wavy hair. She has a dark flower crown in her hair with a ribbon.

Romance authors, do consider bisexual male/female couples. It's tremendously funny when your wife keeps sending you gay thirst trap videos while at work. Especially unfair to a Demisexual from someone who has a free pass through all the defenses. It's like orbital bombardment. 🤣 #WriteSky

Get to know Aud! Find my books here: www.amazon.com/stores/Aud-C...

Meet the author Aud Connelly! One of those damn scribbling women, strange to behold, even worse to behear! Writes fantasy with extra whump. Anti-AI. Friend to spiders and pollinators.

The graphic is white text on a purplish mountain/forest scene, and pink flowers along the bottom of the page.

The author is white, 30s, with short brown hair and glasses. There is a cartoon frog on her head.

My books:

Wings in the Valley is a high fantasy in which two fauns and a harpy must save their homeland from a dragon. It features a non-human, polyamory, low heat, enemies-to-parents romance, and cover art by Arden Powell. (The cover is the silhouettes of 2 fauns and a harpy against ancient ruins, flamed by squash vines and grapevines, with the shadow of a dragon behind the title.)

The Consort and I is a m/m court romance with a slash of treason! (And some explicit sex scenes.) The cover is by The Author Buddy.

My work-in-progress is the Dogwood Chronicles, a 4 book series that asks "In a modern-day fairytale where all the worst villains are human, who's going to save the big bad wolf?" The series begins with Hound Fatale, with an estimated release for Spring 2027, with pre-orders becoming available (hopefully!) this winter.

The graphic is pink text on a purplish mountain/forest scene, and pink flowers along the bottom of the page. There is a rabbit, paws raised as if in prayer.

These are a few of my favorite things!

My favorite authors:
-Ann Leckie.
-Sarah Monette.
-Ray Nayler.
-CG Drews.
-Jane Austen.
-CS Pacat.

My favorite books and fics:
-Pride & Prejudice.
-The Goblin Emperor.
-The Little Prince.
-The Europa University series by DiscreteQuanta, on AO3.

Favorite movies:
-Jumanji.
-Jurassic Park.
-Megamind.

Bonus faves:
-Sunny days.
-Steamed buns.
-Box turtles.

Your worth as an artist is not tied to lack of sales. Your lack of sales is, however, tied to the fact absolutely none of us have any money. You're NOT a shit artist. We are ALL broke, my dude.
