LUKE JAMES MILTON and his cousin CASEY ELIZABETH MILTON-PETERS from BODYSHARE depicted by @crystalline-sanders!!

Luke Milton made a deal with the devil. Now, he's getting everything he ever wanted: musical opportunities, charting albums, world tours, and a thriving fanbase. The only cost? His body, which he now shares with the devil itself as it goes about its mysterious business. All in all, the tradeoff isn't too bad. He's also always wanted an intimate connection.

BODYSHARE is OUT NOW!!

[ID: Two images, each depicting a character in a variety of poses. The first shows Luke Milton, a white man with hazel eyes and blond hair, wearing dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, converse-style sneakers, and either a blue or orange flannel, as well as a gold pendant on a thin chain. He is singing, strumming a dark wood guitar, or scowling. The second shows Casey Milton-Peters, a Black woman with hazel eyes and curly dark brown hair, wearing dark jeans, a red t-shirt, white and red sneakers, and a belt with a gold buckle. She is leaning on her cane, waving over her shoulder, smirking, or looking out with concern. END ID.]

BODYSHARE is OUT NOW!!!

BODYSHARE is a queer fantasy novella that follows Luke Milton, a recent college graduate and divorcee who, in exchange for success in his music career, agrees to share his body with the devil.

You can purchase the novella HERE!!!

Luke Milton made a deal with the devil. Now, he's getting everything he ever wanted: musical opportunities, charting albums, world tours, and a thriving fanbase. The only cost? His body, which he now shares with the devil itself as it goes about its mysterious business. All in all, the tradeoff isn't too bad. He's also always wanted an intimate connection.

After both his college diploma and his divorce papers are signed, twenty-two-year-old Luke Milton is approached by the devil—an energetic force that's been present in one way or another for his whole life—who lauds him with praise for his musical skill and insists that it could help him further his career. When initial reviews of his EP are shaky, it doesn't take long before Luke is agreeing, even though the terms of the deal require him making space in his body for the devil the share.

Luke's career develops rapidly, and so does his relationship with the devil. As they work together through album releases and world tours, they become further and further intertwined, and Luke has to wonder if it's worth it.

Explore fame, self-worth, and sacrifice in this queer fantasy thriller.

[ID: six drawings of Luke Milton, a white man with blond hair and hazel eyes, against a grey background. In the first drawing, on the left hand side, he is depicted in his full body, wearing a blue flannel, a white t-shirt, black jeans, and converse. He has his hands in his pockets and is looking to the side with a small smile. In the last drawing, on the right hand side, he is shown from knees up in the same outfit, holding a guitar made of dark wood with gold tuning pegs and strings. He is strumming a chord with a neutral expression. Between these two drawings are one half-body and three headshots. In the half-body, he’s singing into a microphone with a smile and closed eyes. In the first headshot, he’s in an orange flannel, resting his chin on his hand and scowling. In the second, again in the orange flannel, he’s snarling with his eyes narrowed. Behind him, his shadow is drawn with devil horns, white eyes, and a sharp grin. In the final headshot, he’s back in his blue flannel with a neutral, if somewhat blank, expression. END ID]

The problem w writing fiction is that you'll be like tee-hee I'm going to write a story about a fucked up little scenario that's got nothing to do with anything in real life, just some pure messed up nonsense, and then you finish it and take a step back and go aw rats I made a metaphor again
