I'd prefer not to show my face on the internet. So, I put on my favorite mask, then took a picture and proceeded to draw my face. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Now they'll never know what I look like!

If you see this do it ๐Ÿ‘ฝ Name: Al Pronouns: she/her/you can call me Al Height: 5'5" Sexuality: bi/poly Sign: Aries Piercings/tats: 40% of my body is covered in ink. No piercings I'm scared of needles Color: black & green Drink: bubbly water Food: anything my partner cooks โค๏ธ Animal: DEER ๐ŸฆŒ

Don't let my stability fool you into thinking it's all natural. *Knocks on the side of my head with a pill bottle* It's โœจ๏ธmanufacturedโœจ๏ธ and can be yours for the low price of high insurance and questionable side effects. ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ

I've watched this every year since I was little. I can't tell you the awakenings I've had and the revelations into my personality that have been triggered by that damn wolf. Yes I know it's technically a miniseries but I watch the whole thing always in one sitting.

Iโ€™ve been on a mission to find the sourest candy out there. Crybaby, Burnetts, Toxic Waste, Warheads? Please. Too sweet. I need something that makes me beg for mercy. So, I made my own, it feels like pure battery acid burning a hole in my mouth. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธ Next batch will be more! #candy #sourbitch

Sneek peek into the first book of my light-hearted funny scifi romance. ๐Ÿ›ธ๐Ÿ“š Read the first 2 chapters free on Patreon patreon.com/AlRayden #wipsnips #scifiromance

I have bought another bookshelf today now to find a place to put it.

Bought 300 Cafe Bustello K-cups for 4 bucks at the discount grocery the other day. I drink 1 cup of coffee a week, so I should be fine until the tariffs are revoked. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Kings can have term limits, too? Right???? ....???

Just a little toke to get in the zone. Too much, and I'm watching my story happen without writing anything down! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ #AskAnAuthor

Wicked makes me cry every time.๐Ÿงน East of Eden is always new to me.๐ŸŒพ Gathering Blue is that childhood diamond I thought only I knew about.๐Ÿ’™ The Vampire Lestat is a work of art and started my obsession.๐Ÿง›โ€โ™‚๏ธ The Bonds that Tie series for Nox.๐Ÿ’ฆ #booksky

Guidelines for our first ever Author Hype Event #WSPit #WIPSnips has always been about growing community. You all show up everyday (some since day one) sharing pieces of your writing. Here's the chance to go beyond snips and pitch your work! More infographics to come, but here's a start

My #wipsnips for Linked Out Book 1! ๐Ÿš€ Final edits are in progress, and my main dilemma: Would an alien even say this, even if itโ€™s the best translation? ๐Ÿค” ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ›ธ๐Ÿ“š Read the first 2 chapters for free on Patreon Patreon.com/alrayden #scifiromance #writersky

I received a year subscription as a gift from my partner. I have absolutely devoured every episode of this show and Make Some Noise. Truly makes me laugh till I cry.

If you're into the following, give my book a read ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ“š a.co/d/hbSqjHY ๐Ÿ‘€ Enemies to Obsession ๐Ÿฉธ Danger and Possesiveness โ˜ ๏ธ Dark and Unruly Why Choose ๐Ÿ—ก An FMC that fights back ๐Ÿ’ฃ Explosive devotion ๐Ÿ‡ Alice in Wonderland #Darkromance #whychoose #smutsky

I've worn 4 different hoodies today a breakdown: ๐Ÿ˜ด the one I woke up in (found in a thrift store in Italy) ๐Ÿงฎ the one I wore to work (found at a goodwill in Tucson for $1) ๐ŸŒฎ the one I went to dinner in (found on the side of the road) ๐Ÿ’ค the one I'm in now (it's always been here watching ๐Ÿ‘€ waiting)

I've been ugh....... finding creative videos to study anatomy. Lots of research to really understand. RIP my search history.๐Ÿ”โ‰๏ธ #smutsky #romancebooks #romanceauthor ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ“š

I'm having so much fun with book 2, and seeing the excitement book 1 generated has me wishing I could hide away and finish it uninterrupted. #writersky #romance #whychoose #darkromamce ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ“š

An embarrassingly large bowl of salsa and an ice cold Dos Equis, then I'm off to Wonderland. I've got an idea brewing in me that I can't wait to see come alive. #writersky

Today, the puppy will be joining me in the office. Yes, pet the puppy and do not yell at me about tax law changing. I am not the one who writes it.

Little peep into Alice pt.2 no spoilers! ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ“š #romancebooks #romantasy #booksky

No, I will not be punishing indie authors by cancelling my KU. Bezos wouldnโ€™t miss my 12 bucks but theyโ€™d sure miss the income. The magic number is around 2,700 pages, yโ€™all. At that point every penny we paid in has gone out to authors and weโ€™re costing Amazon money. Get to reading โค๏ธ #Booksky

I am thrilled the written reviews are rolling in! However, I'm worried the "it's not as smutty as I thought it would be" comments are going to make people think I wrote book 2 in response. ALL 3 BOOKS WERE FULLY DRAFTED BEFORE THE 1ST PUBLISHED. All this to say, don't worry, it'll soon be too much!

Me an hour ago "wow I really hate this one line." Me after rewriting the entire chapter "yeah that one line flows better now." #writersky

Looks like my birthday read is locked in. I'm stoked for the release!

I know I'm supposed to engage on the socials to be seen. ๐Ÿ™ƒBUT๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธI'd rather be writing. Talking to others, even through an app, it's too much for me, man! #writersky #badatsocialmedia

Waiting on the hardcover to come in, then I'll be able to take more professional looking photos for ads. ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ“š #romancebooks #darkromance #whychoose
