Yaretzi, child of the forest who destroyed a city. She’s the mc of my wip sapphic fantasy novel, The Sound of Marigolds. When the hero who defeated and imprisoned her comes asking for her help, she agrees in hopes of escaping. Also, she’s haunted by visions of her dead gf

Sketch of a young woman sitting on a tree, with hooves and a long tail. She holds her head up with her hand, looking down at everyone with a smile. She wears a ten inspired clothing, covering her shoulders and chest, and around her waist. At the bottom grows a single marigold

What better way to spend summer than emotionally tearing out your heart because your love turned into roses right before you could confess anything? Check out my short story, summertime blossoms!! I still really like it, even almost a year later! 🌹 earlronove.itch.io/summertime-b...

trope map for summertime blossoms. In the center is an image from the cover of a young man kissing a rose while other roses take up the rest of the frame. The colors are mostly browns and bright reds for the roses. The tropes around the image reads: body horror with flowers, lasting regret of words unsaid, taking care of roses as affection, yearning love, dreams of what could have been, weird & unexplained.

I think I found the last piece of the puzzle that is my worldbuilding.

Sketch on a stikie of psilocybe aztecorum, a bell cap mushroom that grows in bundles as is sketched on the right. Notes on the left read “may have been used in ceremonies, ‘sacred mushroom,’ ‘flesh of gods’ teonanacatl, lives in and decays dead wood, leaves, sticks” The notes around the mushroom read “cap colors range from yellowish brown to golden” “grow in bundles” “bell shaped caps” “white stems”

A dark graphic with book cover and the words "Out Now" repeated over and over from top to bottom behind it. The cover depicts a black and green illustrated scene of a dark forest clearing with a mossy tree stump sitting in a patch of filtered light in the middle. On top of the stump is a small village, and leaning against the side of the stump is an axe. The title of the book floats above the stump in white text that reads “Lamb, Stag and Wolf,” while on the ground below the stump is text that reads, “Airic Fenn.”

Indie authors asking people to stop stealing their books should NOT be ‘controversial’ - a thread. 🧵⬇️ 1) If you want to read our books, if they add value to your life and entertain you, please read them officially. You are not entitled to stealing our books. We cannot live off ‘exposure’.

COMMENTS
I RECEIVED AS A TRANS DISABLED
INDIE AUTHOR ASKING PEOPLE TO STOP STEALING MY BOOKS, AS I'VE LOST 30% OF MY INCOME...

THESE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA...

A screenshot showing various comments direct towards the author:

Commentor 1: Way to go guys, let's shoot for 40!

Commentor 2: You sound like every one of those privileged white people that can't FATHOM that others might want to enjoy their lives. It's an entirely human thing to seek out things we want and yes unethically. I wish people supported artists like this one but it is not a battle anyone can win. Piracy has been around since before the internet was invented. Like black markets and whatnot. Get off your high horse because you and I both know that you indulge in unethical things when it suits YOU. You are a few bad days from doing the same thing.

Commentor 3: As
much as it sucks pirating is at least allowing more people to access your books and discover you, which will lead to more money. It's also a little inevitable nowadays, so it's weird to act as if you're specifically targeted.
Mentioning you're disabled and trans and need the income just comes off as guilt tripping. Your personal circumstances shouldn't matter to the consumer, they pay for quality books, not to fund your lifestyle. This post comes off as accusatory and a little entitled, so it's likely to have the opposite effect you intend.

I posted my trailer yesterday for The Devil in the Woods' updated ebook and soon to be paperbacks, but I really wanted to show the coverspread without text bc I'm very happy with it. The old one was old, and while it has a special place in my heart, I was glad to have the chance to remake the cover.

a cover spread illustration from The Devil in the Woods without the text. Felix stands toward the right side, lit match in his hand, and worriedly looks at the camera. Looming behind him is a figure with a not quite right elk skull and fingers made of roots touching Felix's chin and shoulder. In the figure's cloak are opened, bulbous eyes looking at Felix. Around them are fire embers, floating through the image.
