Kara Moon 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️

Thanks for your immaculate work @nushdeco.bsky.social 💜 you have outdone yourself! Guess it's time for me to drop this... You've seen me posting. Maybe you're wondering when tf I'm going to get on with it and publish. Well, sign up to be the first to know here: kara-moon.kit.com/60b7ffc30a

#LGBTQWriteAThon Kallista and Geni are in a secondary world, but if they lived here, Geni would be the treater and Kallista would be the tricker. Geni would love seeing the cute costumes. Kallista would have a reputation for having a new trick every year e.g. detachable hand, floating candy bowl

#Sniptober "melt" Well if it isn't one of my favourite words... used it 5 times in a certain climactic chapter, so back to the thesaurus I guess 😂 from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

There are only 5 days left of spooky season, but the all-consuming void is eternal. Buy THE DEVOURING today for a fast-paced, cosmic horror thriller about unending hunger, the monstrosity of man, and the terrible consequences of the power of love. #BookSky 💙📚 amshilling.com/books/the-devouring

I had the pleasure of proofreading this, which I do by reading aloud. The voice is just so charming and witty, very enjoyable to read ... all while necromancy and skulduggery is afoot!

#LitHodgepodge Yes, A Prayer for the Pirate Queen has the crew of the Paxos, who are stuck together because they're all outlaws now. Their ride-or-die vibe comes from a combo of discipline from their naval training, care for each other, and dedication to the anti-imperial cause.

Omg life goal 🤩

#Octember I can't think of anything other than like, dolls like my Wicked dolls that I totally got for my children, not me, and totally didn't say "now kiss". Couldn't be me. But dolls of Kallista and Geni would slap.

#AwesomeCharacters What makes me love to hate a villain? CAMP, DARLING! If they are enjoying themselves in their own sassy way then I will eat up every moment. I give this to Heliodorus a little bit but not too much. He's too fashy and misogynistic to deserve the full camp villain treatment.

Really gonna need my family to stop following my smut account on instagram 😂😬 yet another reason to leave that shitty platform

#SapphicLineShare #WIP #queerwriter #lesfic In this short set in the same setting as my novel WIP, our protagonist is seen gaining the attention of a very insistent vampire and facing the consequences (or benefits 😉) of that.

#LGBTQWriteAThon goal share: Just enjoy this week. I'm off on a conference trip, and next week is *that month*, so this week I'm just going to write pleasurable amounts each day and dabble in planning and daydreaming 🏴‍☠️💜

So excited for people to get their hands on this. It's got cozy, it's got dark, it's got rogue and cleric shenanigans, and a delicious slowburn romance 🔥

For anyone who missed it, you can hear me talking about Dido on the Edge on Kickarts here! If you want to know more about the book and why it is what it is, this should help you out!

#LitHodgepodge Kallista doesn't like having to lie but can see the necessity of things like disguises as a fugitive. Geni doesn't beat herself up about it as much. She'll lie as a social lubricant easily. It almost goes without saying that they are constantly lying to themselves of course.

#AwesomeCharacters I never tire of looking at this first piece of character art I got from @nushdeco.bsky.social of Geni and Kallista 🫶

Note to self, fucking LOOK at terms of entry before putting in over a month's worth of work and stress, and sacrificing other things to try and meet a deadline you're not even eligible for 💀

#AwesomeCharacters I have incredible artwork from @sunriseart.bsky.social that one day I’ll have framed. The other two are my own drawings of Virgil and Levi (Serpent of Fraud/Legal Counsel of Hell Ltd.) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#AwesomeCharacters #Wrencer These are my book babies! Spencer, Wren, Bruce, and Elton.

And Ray! From the lovely @aowna.bsky.social I can't wait to get more art to share someday! 🥰

Mikiva and Av'ry (again)! My charming rogue and assassin pair! Also from the wonderful @nushdeco.bsky.social ❤️

It's Fox and Av'ry! From @nushdeco.bsky.social

Yay, art day! I'll just do a big dump of NICEF character art Luigiix has made for me! As a reminder, Luigiix does ALL my covers, too! His commission Info page: www.deviantart.com/luigiix/jour... His Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/luigiix/ Best contact via discord: Luigiix (#6037) #AwesomeCharacters

#AwesomeCharacters Already tagged some of these artists today, so to avoid tag spam, I'll just post the pictures, but the artist is *always* in the alt text. Ashrah, in her Bound by Flame outfit, then Balance is a Journey, then Balanced Form, then natural form: #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

#AwesomeCharacters Oh I guess we just throwing ALL THEM ARTS UP! Please enjoy my mix of my blorbos and their families/friends plus some critters and a godling. Credits will be in the next post since there's a lot of cool people here (but it should also be in alt text).

I usually draw my characters myself as I have some facility with illustration. Though my hand problems make me veeery slow. I would like to add some 1661 characters before the end of this year. Planned order is Anne > Lucette > Percy. Poor Klein bumped back in the queue again 🤣 #AwesomeCharacters

CN deadnaming, fear of being outed Which does NOT end up happening here, but for a second the specter is raised of what Alexander would consider the worst possible thing that could happen to him. The blacked-out name is how I present it in the text, btw; I never tell you it. #LGBTQWriteAThon

#SundaySnips "She's hot, but she's crazy." Kena is a smart boy 😅 #GodsOfAtalantis Book 2

I don't have terror in Darwin's Cliff, but I do have terrible. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon (line share day) #QueerWriters #WriteSky

#SapphicMoon - 25 October Liv sorta hunts Stella down...for a ride home 🌈✒️ #lesfic #Sapphic #Queerwriters #WritingCommunity #SapphicAuthors #SapphicWriters

Wren and Spencer are getting up to a little midnight mischief. 🌶️ From book 2 of my romantic fantasy series about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold. #SundaySnips #Wrencer #WritingPrompts

#SundaySnips "Midnight" Stars don't usually do that

#Octember (This doesn't happen except sorta in alt timeline stuff and jokes I've made to some beta readers a while ago) Kallista and Geni as vengeful spirits after being hanged for treason, going around wailing and exacting a specifically emasculating revenge on misogynists. You get the picture 😉💀

#Sniptober "celebration" Happy birthday EL! This snip is from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

#WIPSnips "insert" I'm surprised as you are that my sole use of the word is innocent. What can I say? I guess I don't find the word sexy enough 🤷‍♀️ from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

Fun times at the Dido on the Edge launch party last night with @bumblebigirl.bsky.social

For anyone who wants to tune in, I'll be chatting about Dido on the Edge on KickArts tonight at 8pm (NZ time)!

#AwesomeCharacters Ewww, Heliodorus? 🤢 I turn my screen on and find the GAYEST possible content I can watch I hope his face hurts from sneering for 12 hours

#LGBTQWriteAThon check-in: 🏴‍☠️ got back to pirate land. One more chapter revised, and drafting the accompanying chapter from Iona's POV now. So good to be back 💜 📚 Q&A'd at the Dido on the Edge book launch last night. Such fun! Will post pics later. 🚀 a little more read-aloud revision to go on my MG
