Betraying myself a bit here but...
His lips brush over the delicate shell of her ear, and he doesn't have to force the gravel in his tone. āYou see, I have no intention of being quiet and every intention of hearing that lovely voice of yoursā¦screamā¦my name.ā
āAstarion,ā she mutters, half in obedience, half in protest.
āOh, Iām positive you can do better than that, little songbird.ā Gods, but heās hungry for her all of a sudden, a sharp ache in his teeth to tear her open in the same spot he had her before.
The mark is but a shadow on her skin, but he knows it like his own scars. Invisible, indelible.Ā If she parts ways with him tomorrow, a hundred years from now heād know it just the same.
Itās dangerous, knowing what this feels like, knowing itās almost like being alive. How he could almost fool himself into wanting more from her than what he can take. Heās not sure he ever felt that way, even before he died.
Life is wasted on the living. Or at least it was on him.
āAre you ready for me, darling? Nod, please.ā
DM me for the link if you want it I guess ok byeeeee!

Time to share some snippets from the past week š Tagging @scuttlingcrab @chaosteddybear @mslanna @karneo + you!
āLife is not a fairy tale, my dear.ā
āYet mine already has the main antagonist on stage.ā
āOh? I didnāt realise I was the villain in your narrative,ā he replied, clearly amused. If the line was meant to taunt you, you held back any retorts.
Raphael didnāt let the silence sit for long, eager as he was to continue painting the analogy. āAnd what does that make you, little raven? The hero? The sage? The victim?ā
You leaned back on the chair. āIsnāt it a bit too late to choose a role? I am clearly the underdog.ā
Raphael laughed.
āEverybody loves an underdog, donāt they?ā
You hated the blush that crept over your cheeks. āI should hope so.ā

"I may have been a whole damn mess, but I was a whole damn mess on a mission."
Half-succubus attorney Lily Knight has blood on her hands.
Haunted by guilt, broke, and professionally disgraced, she's run out of options. Now, a secret government agency makes her an offer she can't refuse: put down another demon gone rogue in exchange for a sizable bounty. It's enough to cover her multitude of sins, including her steamy affair with Sebastian Ritter, a senator's son with taboo desires of his own.
As the supernatural threat stokes human prejudice and fear, Lily rescues a teenage succubus on the run from the authorities. But taking young Eve under her wing means facing new responsibilities, new risks, and the ghost of an old enemy.
As she hunts an assassin possessed by the spirit of bloody vengeance, Lily must reckon with her worst fear: the truth about what went down with Eve's father in the desert--and its consequences.

In this post, I dig in to the story of what really went wrong at City Owl Press, from my personal perspective.
Of course, I cannot speak for other authors. The facts here are backed up by extensive documentation. The rest is my opinion, and you may judge that as you please.
From the outside, the turmoil at City Owl Press in the first weeks of 2024 probably seemed to boil up out of nowhere. It left a lot of onlookers wondering what the hell happenedāincluding some of the pressās less engaged authors, editors, and readers.
In my opinion, the events of what some of us have taken to calling āRush Weekā were quietly brewing for a long time before the situation exploded. The publisher knew that many writers had concerns and had for a while. In fact, the owner said as much to me in writing when she offered my rights back on January 4, minutes after I asked to exercise my contractās records clause.
Read the whole sordid story on my blogā¦

One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that youāre very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I donāt particularly care. Therefore Iām perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I donāt need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.

Rashida Tlaib has set up a petition to send to the White House to recognize and stop the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement happening in Gaza. If youāre a US citizen please sign. I have no illusions that this will change policy, but the public outcry against their actions must continue. We will not be distracted or discouraged from continuing to object to these humans rights violations.

I am holding myself to this: I do not get to write a brief essay on the most infamous and frequently misused craft advice in writing until I've drafted the next 10k words
we are currently at "bribing myself with the promise of future navel-gazing"

On Jan. 12, my rights were reverted from my publisher after I asked about viewing their records related to my book.
It turns out they only ever ran one ad for my series, in June 2022. They sent me screenshots for the ad, a single A/B Facebook test, in response to my records request. It looked like AI trash, and they noted in my expense report that it had bad ROI, not to be repeated. š«
So my little book never really had a fair chance. Now itās back with me, Iām determined to do right by it.
āØWEāRE LIVE BABY!!āØ
Half-human. Half-succubus. All work and no play. Ambitious prosecutor Lily Knight fights like a demon in the courtroom, but sheās as dangerous to herself as others. Touch-starved by choice, she refuses to live beholden to any lover.
āInnocentā doesnāt describe Sebastian Ritterās craving for dominance in bedroom and boardroom. But one brush of his fingers over her skin tells Lily that he didnāt commit the murder heās charged with.
With her life and secrets on the line, Lily races to find the real culprit. From the infuriating incubus who taught her to tempt and take, to intrigues and indiscretions at a masked cabaret, each unraveling thread entangles her further in a perilous game of seduction and lies.
To survive, she must embrace her power, unleash her hunger, and surrender controlā¦at the risk of losing herself to the demon inside.
CAMBIONāS LAW offers trope-flipping paranormal suspense, modern noir fantasy, and dark romantic tension with a slow burn, subversive power dynamic grounded in mutual consent. Perfect for fans of Book of Azrael, Ninth House, and TVās Jessica Jones or Lucifer.
