One of the reasons I'm so amped for my romance to come out: not only am I another fat author in the genre writing about fat women being positively worshipped, but hopefully readers who need that positive rep will find it, like I did. I'm so excited to potentially BE that author for other readers. 😭

That moment when your besties ask how going gluten free for a week has been going since you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and you tell them it's totally fine only to break down sobbing halfway through your video message 💀

My computer is continuing to crash and if I have to buy a new one on top of all the money I've spent on healthcare this year AND having to suddenly switch to an entirely gluten free diet I am going to lose it. My god someone who is bored with their generational wealth let me have some I beg 🫠

THANK YOU ALL for these recs!! I'm going to start pricing them and see how many I can afford to get to send a surprise box to lift her spirits and provide a distraction from the medical stuff she's going through. I'm so excited and I couldn't've done it without y'all. Thank you. 🫂 #BookSky

Today, Dovah and I went to the wetlands for a few hours and now I'm editing a banger book by one of my authors for the next few hours before trying gluten free pizza for the first time tonight while watching Blues hockey with my partner and I gotta say, pretty fucking rad way to spend a Saturday 🥰

Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Who says you can't be cheeky and tell tech bros to fuck off with your upcoming book dedication 😌 📖: The Beckoned and the Bound by Nicole Evans (out Nov 10th!) #BookSky #Romancelandia #QueerBooks #QueerWriters 🌈📚

A dedication reveal graphic for The Beckoned and the Bound by Nicole Evans, featuring character artwork by Žana Arnautović. The dedication reads: "To anyone who’s convinced themselves they are unworthy of love—you deserve it all.

And to em-dashes. I didn’t choose you as my favorite punctuation since the 8th grade only for a resource-draining, planet-destroying, tech bro theft machine to claim you.

Fuck generative AI."

I've had a streak of selling at least one book a month all year and this month I just realized that might break. So if an epic fantasy exploring eldest daughter trauma, period stigma, and battling survival against the gods with Nordic vibes in a queernorm world sounds like your jam... #BookSky

hey #BookSky, anyone want to read a book where this is the romance arc’s whole vibe?? 🌊 BLOOD OF THE GODS by Wren L. Rivers 🌊 linktr.ee/corvidarcana

A close-up illustration of two male characters kissing. The focus is Jonah, who has ginger hair and is wearing a red coat. The second character is Crow, who has curly black hair an is wearing a blue shirt and dark blue coat.

There is a poem overlaid on the image:

I am afraid
I will love you forever
& we will never be
in the same room again.

- Clementine Von Radics, from In A Dream You Saw A Way To Survive; "The Fear" (via lunamonchtuna)

Bi Visibility Day reminder that biphobia is toxic and boring. If someone asks you to pick a side, pick up your keys and leave. If someone says you're greedy, steal their car. If someone says it's just a stop on the way to being gay, steal all their pets and give them better lives.

(Oh and if bi4bi M/F queer romance is your jam, my romance debut THE BECKONED AND THE BOUND mayyyyy be coming out this November 10th and was purposefully written to give space to bi4bi M/F queer relationships to BE inherently queer. Because they are. Just saying. 👀)

Cover of an epic fantasy queer romance novel The Beckoned and the Bound by Nicole Evans, featuring two people on the cover (on the left, a fat elven woman with gray skin and black and red hair; on the right, a muscular man with sun-tanned white skin and muscular forearms with black and white hair while roses decorate a dark forest in the background). Gorgeous cover artwork by Žana Arnautović!

Hey it's bi visibility day! Much love to all of my fellow bi babes, especially those who accepted this about themselves later in life and have only ever been in (what appears as) a cishet relationship like me. Our queerness is valid and cannot be taken away from us, no matter who tries. 💜🩷💙

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.
