[Fan Art: Elena Ravence & Yassen Knight from The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma]
This was the first piece I finished in January and back then, the one thing I didn’t really like about it back then was the skin. So, I decided to touch up this piece, especially the skin, the other day!

It's pride season in Wellington, New Zealand and my local library has published its second "Teen Staff Picks" zine! In that spirit, I bring you, a collection of lesser-known queer books featured in the two that have been released so far! I've narrowed the lists down to books that have 1000 or fewer reviews on Goodreads as of posting (though I actually use Storygraph personally).

Let's begin!
We've decided to add Tumblr as one of our social media spots given it's so handy for sharing and cataloging vampire inspiration as well as spreading the word and connecting with fellow BIPOC vampire fans.
As we get closer to our annual September event expect to see interactive things like polls, moodboards, video, interviews and more!
And we'll be sharing a LOT of BIPOC vampire projects (cosplay, original art, fan art, movie/TV content, TTRPG, podcasts and more) year round to keep the hype going. Plus we always need more BIPOC vampires in the world.
Hope you'll join us!
