Rocking back and forth in the corner,,,, Nosferatu,,,oh you masterpiece

And this is why I consistently try to link to itch when shouting out indie authors! Encouraging other indie book reviewers to do the same if possible πŸ«ΆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒˆ

i really cannot stress enough how itch.io has consistently been out performing other retailers for my book. indie authors really need to give this platform a try if they aren’t already. it absolutely does require you to do more of the legwork via marketing because there is no discoverability but +

Ok today y'all are having my favourite painting, Directions For A Kiss, which is also the one I spent like 5 months doing studies for.

I've been working on some very cool #covers lately, and I'm always down to make more. If you or someone you know would like to book me (hehe) to illustrate and/or design a cover in 2025, feel free to reach out! isthiseva.carrd.co#covers

I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book listsβ€”so I decided to make my own! Introducing: βœ¨πŸŽπŸ“š The 2024 Holiday Gift Guide to Nature & Science Books βœ¨πŸŽπŸ“š Please share: Let's make this go viral in time for Black Friday / holiday shopping!

This is the LAST day you can buy this bundle of sixteen works for only ONE(1) dollar! No catch. A bunch of books and short stories, hundreds of thousands of words, for a buck. Happy holidays :) elajo.itch.io/lmaowhat

Looking at a lot of these Best Of SFF lists and it's very clear to me that a lot of book people do not read widely or diversely. If your best ofs are majority NYT Big 4 bestsellers and books by and about cishet white ppl, I feel sorry for you. Missing out on so much incredible fiction.

"There was an Aes Sedai at the White Tower when I was a novice. She was everything that I wanted to be. She was strong, controlled, precise. She... she was terrifying. " Super quick but I need to bite someone I'm so excited: this was the way to avoid that #TheWheelOfTime #WotSkies #WotShowSpoilers

Sobbing because of this AMAZING art @majornasya.bsky.social did for Mael and Leo's lunch date in UNDER THE DRAGON MOON. Look how perfect they are! 😭

Only 22 days until my literary satire novella "A Rotten Girl" is out! Exploring gender, public personas, the commodification of queernessβ€”and the reality of what it is like to be a trans woman in a hostile world. There are also some jokes. (jemmatopaz.carrd.co#rotten)
