Jaw-dropping. Nothing has brought me back to my younger self as accurately as the beginning of this book. I saw myself here so clearly throughout, and I can only hope I'm half as brave

The seventy-second free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click here to read from the beginning).

Salt winds between Waylon's feet like a snow-covered mountain range. Stride steady, his heart pounds against his rib cage. Over and over. Footstep, crash, footstep, crash. The sound is inside his head. Deep, quaking, and painful. Veins bulge at his temples: thin, wiry things that pulse in tandem with his heart's thunder.

It'll work out. This job didn't, but I have plenty of time to work through something else. Plenty.

Following the trail of salt, he whips around a corner. Light pierces through the darkness ahead. Two doors sit ajar in-line, one leading to the other: the tank maintenance area from earlier and the Hall of Discovery beyond it.

Striding past tables laden with spare tanks, air pumps, and whatever else, Waylon yanks at his hair band. Strips of black unfurl from the bun atop his head and fall to his shoulders. Heavy — damp with sweat. I'll get to the truck, get home, then I'll figure out what's next. She'll manage until then.

She has to.

instagram algorithm sucks, so I decided to try tumblr. This is one of my ocs in this really adorable outfit i found on Pinterest I thought would suit her (I ended changing it a bit tho to suit her more). Anyhow have this tumblr, throw it into your algorithm. notes I will be posting what I have on my insta little by little (it’s not too much anyways) because I need the algorithm to work with me here.

Hear me out.

Imagine a typical book with a female lead and two love interests, the childhood best friend and the tall dark and handsome guy. And she can typically not choose between them etc.

But.

It turns out the boys been in love with each other for years in a relationship happily, and didn't want to say they knew each other bc, she was under a lot of stress or something.

They didn't even try to hide it she was just oblivious af.

Strider fans better wishlist this! Especially if you love the PS1 sequel!

HEY EVERYONE! The game that I worked on as Lead Artist/Art Director (And even wrote some of!) finally has a release date revealed - and it's my birthday, the 21st of February 2024! It'll be coming out for Steam, Switch, Xbox and PS4/5!

It's a biopunk character action/brawler with the mechanical depth of a fighting game where you murder millions of merciless militarized cops as a rogue swordsman seeking his missing boyfriend, merged with a living suit of armour who shares his ultimate goal of beheading the godlike "Sovereign Khan"ruler of a city built on suffering.

We filled it with living bioweapons, dubious cyborg priests, nightmarish monsters and it's ALL fully voice acted and lavished with the love of our whole team at PoppyWorks and our publisher Ziggurat.

I've been working on this for 3 years now, and it's surreal to think that it's this close to reality. Please check out our trailers, our demo and wishlist us on Steam! If you've already wishlisted - thank you so, so much.

Download the Steam demo and check out the other trailers here (My favourite is the one that teases some of the bosses~!)

This is the MOST SAPPHIC book ever

It suffers from having to be about (for?) high school children instead of college students.

I think it's a *little* hackey to have your characters literally write about the themes you want in your book

5/10

✨️Cover reveal for SUGAR PEOPLE by Oliver Ferrie✨️

Thanks to @shea-parfait for the HEAVENLY artwork!

The book releases on April 4th 🎊

(the blurb reads: Kestrel has a lot to be worried about.

His best friend Tala has been struck by a severe mental illness, attempting suicide over the winter break. She has developed an obsession with making little sculptures she will not let anyone touch.

Meanwhile, Kestrel is struggling at university. His artwork has his teachers concerned, and he can’t explain any of it. But it’s not just him — all his friends are feeling strange this term, although none of them can place why.

After a chance meeting with the university’s charismatic religious counsellor, Daran Bailey, Kestrel becomes drawn back in to a world he had once left behind. As the term marches on, his dreams grow more uncomfortable, and he feels like he’s going crazy, until at long last, Tala lets Kestrel in on her secret…

This book contains depictions of abuse. Read at your own discretion. Treat yourself kindly.)
