The big reason for joining the sale was the new cover for Faux Boo. It's still being updated across all E-book sites but I'm glad to have a much more legible cover this time round. More new covers are in the works,but I will roll those out with updated books,new collections,and full on rewrites.

A positive of all this behind the scenes work has been helping find ways to allow me to keep working while still at a full time job. So before where I'd have to wait till I got home to continue writing, now I can keep working on my breaks allowing inspiration to flow when I have it.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

So got the tweets back, gonna post over there too, trying to synch these two up now. A major issue of mine is my book covers. I lost the project files so I will be starting fresh for each of them to better fit the books and hopefully entice new readers.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

So I got feedback on not just the new book I was working on but also on some older books I was looking into redoing. I have a bit to improve but I think overall, this is going to make things so much better.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

So my timeline got... skewered. I hoped to be more done, but life has a habit of getting in the way. But I absolutely am having a blast writing this end of high school story. Especially set in a magical, fantasy world, who needs resumes when you need to know first aid and gear upkeep more.

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

I've realized what sort of stories I enjoy telling in romance and it's polygamous ones. Something about people having multiple partners and it not cheating has been fun to play with when workshopping other stories.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

I have coworkers who want to read my romance novel when it's done. Trying to figure out if I warn them I also wrote erotica or that there will be gay spice scenes? Side note, this entire book was spawned by an erotic short story. I'm going to include it at the end of book 1 for a tease of book 2.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

So, first tamer romance novel has hit a new milestone. The outline is done, chapter 1 is done and there's only 20 chapters to go. You read that right, this is my first full sized novel. I have follow ups planned, one a spin off erotic short story and then a second book. No name yet, so stay tuned.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Outside the outlines and writing, I am also going to revise all my covers again. I want to relook into font based covers and going a bit more simplistic.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I have my first, much tamer, romance novel outlined spice is still to be decided, but the plot has been figured out. Now comes the hard part... writing it. Working on the outline for other new books to come out this year.

010

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

So first things first, 2026 is most likely going to be the year of shifting from purely spicy erotica, to slightly spicy romance. I've had some really fun ideas and can't wait to share more about them when they get closer to release. My goal this year is to nearly double my releases.

010

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

My full time job and then sickness said "Writing? What's that?" Good news as I heal up I spent time to sit down and hard figure out what stories I want to tell, how hard I wanna push myself each year, and how I want to use TikTok. Overall, time to gun the gas and get this back on track.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Recorded audio for a TikTok about "A Wolf's Kink", then realized TikTok may not like Kink being said. Fun times, may need to censor that in post. #gay #furry #eroticawriter #smutwriter

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

As we move into 2026 I'm sitting down and having a hard look at my advertising strategy, book covers, and more. My goal? Figure out what Books aren't selling and rectify that.

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Want a book that reads like a spicy #gay #furry #Hallmark story? "A Faux Boo for Christmas" is all about the lies that become truths. Plenty of #kinky fun to keep anyone warm this Christmas. books2read.com/u/3RMG5G

Christmas has arrived and time has flown by me. I hope you all are enjoying Christmas as much as some of my characters, in naughty, kinky ways. Merry Christmas!

Happy Halloween! May the monster of your choosing breed you full of cum!

So, looks like this place wants to get rid of fictional NC, Dub-Con and "Dangerous Kink". That sucks. Means I'll have to stop posting about some of my upcoming books if it goes into effect, but I'm not going to change what I write to appease corporations.

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Enjoyed Megaplex this year. Hopefully next year I can come as a vender with physical copies of my books. Goal for the next year it put out a physical edition of "A Faux Boo" and possibly get art made for it.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

This is a one in a million shot. I'm gonna be at #Megaplex under my fursona. If you've enjoyed my books and wanna meet up, post below. Right now, I'm mostly going on Sunday, but Saturday is possible. #eroticawriter #furry

There are things that just take the winds out of your sails. A poor release is one of them. The interest from before "Faux Boo" came out sadly didn't translate into sales. It happens and is a big part of being an independent writer. Here's hoping it finds readers as time goes on.

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Happy #ChristmasinJuly! (It's a tad late) "A Faux Boo for Christmas" is a #gay #SpiceyRomance novel set in a #furry world. Filled with Hallmark charm and #raunchy #kinky times, it's a fun #holiday #romance with enough spice to keep things warm this fall. t.co/6TZphY8oRv

The Visa and Mastercard situation is... frustrating. As someone who writes stories with kink it's annoying someone who isn't the reader, gets to decide what my readers can get off too. #Kink is a fact of life, and if Visa/MC is worried about selling #piss play, then people should be pissed.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

I can't believe this part is sort of happening. Now to write the script, film the video, and start posting to TikTok too. Fingers crossed that BookTok like's Furry, Gay, spicy books. www.tiktok.com/@sylvanus.pe...

Looking into a paperback or even hardback versions, but also looking at TikTok. Had this idea to make videos better explaining the stories and reaching out to audiences in new ways. Especially as the new covers and edits go live. I want to raise that $30 a year I earn currently. Here's hoping.

Been looking at updating some of my old book covers, but before I do that, I also wanna give them a full second edition makeover, spelling error, wrong names, and points where, more details could have helped. So excited to dive back into some of these stories.

14 hours of work and I'm finally at the end. Having some legible font issues but after the rest of the fights I went through, that's par for the course.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

So far I've scrapped 3 different book cover ideas because I couldn't make them work. Why is this the hardest part?

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

I've avoided making an account at Fur Affinity due to my aggressive hate for how censorship driven that site has been for years. But I can't deny it's one of the largest furry sites so not posting there is... unwise. But it's hard, to move past my own disappointment.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

Cover sketches are 6 and annoying. Playing around with fun font creations. An antler F, a cookie with a c bit out, block letters covered with Christmas lights, wreath o's for Boo. Lacking artistic skill means I have to work within my design skills to try and make the cover interesting.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

So, bought a few books on Smashwords to get an idea what other books like mine are like. It's odd to feel like maybe I do too much work. Going to kind of sit with this and think on things.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Went to submit the book for pre-orders to find out, I need a cover since it's almost 10 days to the day I wanted. So going to work on that and give myself a little bit more time. Bright side most of the work is done, so a last read through and the cover is all that's left.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Editing the book is nearly done. I wish to do one more read through after, but unless something major comes up, I am thoroughly happy with this one. It's a cute Hallmark lite, erotic adventure, and plays with the ideas of domination, open relationships, and being yourself.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

The hardest part of being both indie and broke is book covers are made by myself so I have to rely on doing something in my skill set. Looking at maybe redoing a few covers to focus more on font and less on images.

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

A Faux Boo for Christmas, Chapter 1 is up on Inkbunny as a teaser, the 7 other chapters will be included in the full book when it releases. inkbunny.net/s/3669559

Wrapping up thumbnail creation, will be posting the teaser to Inkbunny, in the next hour, pre-order links will appear in the description when they go live, and here.

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

This is my first book since Smashwords got merged and I'm learning a whole lot about the new systems with Draft 2 Digital. Bright side, my documents get a bit more streamlined. Bright side, editing has... flown. I expect a first week of August release now.

010

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Got dragged full time to work, which left little time to edit, odd note, got sick, and I'm now focusing entirely on the book. My goal is to get the preview, chapter 1, out today and then figure out how long until release. Besides the edit, the cover's not even started, so I'm expecting early August.

010

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Been going through chapter 1, reader had few notes about it and I can see why, beside some bad word choices, and a few mistakes, it's rather polished and ready for release. Now to get through the others by July.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

So, started the revisions, using a text to speech to listen back for weird verbiage and watch for pacing issues. So far, been told by the few readers I have had, it's a fun gay romp reminiscent of Hallmark movies.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

New job took away a lot of time from me, started revisions on my next novel. Looking at a July release date for my next furry adventure.

000

Sylvanus Penleaf @spenleaf.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

So, my reader finally got back to me, four months after I gave them the initial draft. We're going over what worked and didn't and revisions should start soon. "Faux Boo for Christmas" may arrive in time for Easter. So far, the reader really liked it, so I can't wait to get this in more hands.
