#KamuroShippingWeek Day 6 Prompt: Photograph #rgg #kazumaji #yuri #kiryu #majima "Look, nee-san! It's a double rainbow!" "Damn, yer right..." "Hey! What are you doing?" "Oh me? Nothin'. Go on, take a pic."

Majima has a short black bob/bowl cut, a brown eye, and an eye patch with a silver snake on it and light skin.

#LateNightWrite #WriteSky #BookSky #IndieAuthor #QueerAuthor Thank you for hosting! Tomorrow I'm going to reveal the cover and release date of my debut novella Blood Sisters in my newsletter (subscribers get updates early, and signing up and reading it is free): jayvertauthor.com/landers/sign...

Sanguinaria, 1985. In a world partially based on our own, will one down-on-her-luck 30-year-old human manage to rebuild a vampire mafia empire?

When Morgan Holt’s grandmother passes away and she inherits her debt, Morgan has no choice but to join the vampire mafia, called the Syndicate, to pay off the exorbitant amount.

However, earning the approval of her ornery boss, Lys de Beauvau, is more difficult than she could have ever imagined, especially once sparks start flying between them. At the same time, underlying political conflicts between the de Beauvau Family and their rival, the de Sade Family, rise to a boiling point. Will Lys and Morgan make it out unscathed, or will the leader of the de Sade Family, Mauve de Sade, be their downfall?

#unhingedpit #F #R #LGBT #CS Why was making this craptacular comic actually really fun LOL?

An 8 panel comic that consists of stick figures with colored hair and eyes that depicts a bastardized version of a scene in my upcoming novella, Blood Sisters. The top reads "Blood Sisters The Crappy Comic." The first panel is the character Mauve (blond hair) introducing himself by kissing character Pavot's (red hair) hand, which makes her cringe and makes her partner, Lys (purple hair) get angry. The second panel has Lys grabbing Pavot's hand to move her away from him. The third panel has Mauve apologizing by saying he was "just being a gentleman." Forth panel has Lys telling him to keep his hands off "her Pavot." Fifth has Lys holding Pavot close and saying "she's mine." Sixth has Mauve effing off. Seventh has Pavot swooning over Lys. Last has Lys in a seductive pose saying "Anything for you, babe". The bottom says "lol by Jay Vert"

Lys and de Sade’s claws clashed. Their fight was rough and messy, with blood having already lost a lot of blood. I wondered how Lys managed to free herself, and felt proud that she didn’t stop fighting.

However, earning the approval of her ornery boss, Lys de Beauvau, is more difficult than she could have ever imagined, especially once sparks start flying between them.

An anime style drawing of the protagonist of Blood Sisters, Pavot. She is white with dark red hair in a bob cut, red eyes, and has a double chin. She’s slightly smiling. The background is a black/grey/white gradient. Her name is in red, black, and white in the bottom right corner.
