for the kiss prompt! maybe a scarian and a good morning kiss 👉👈

Grian woke up with a sneeze. Now normally this wouldn’t be too strange. Living in a household with a cat has led to many mornings where he woke up with Jellie’s tail all up in his face. She had started to make it a habit to rest on his chest while he slept, though this time around he didn’t sense her familiar presence. He curiously cracked open an eye, half expecting to see her peering down at him but instead a translucent, feathery wing was what met his sight.

“Scar, what did we say about personal space.” Scar startled at his voice, his wings fluttering in surprise earning Grian another faceful of feathers. “Oh my gosh Gri, I’m so sorry-, but look! My wings are growing bigger! Soon we’ll be able to fly together like old times, it’ll be absolutely amazin’.” 

Grian let out a huff as he batted Scar’s wing away though a soft smile graced his lips seeing his earnestness. “I think we can make a date out of it. But first, I think you’re forgetting something.” Scar let out a confused hum, shuffling around their bed to face Grian. “Forgetting something? I don’t have anything planned for the day and I already fed Jellie. Plus none of the other hermits asked for a favor…” He glanced over at Grian. “Maybe you can give me a reminder?”

Grian grinned as he leaned forward, capturing Scar’s lips in a kiss. Scar let out a noise between a squeak and a surprised hum though he eventually sank into the kiss.

Grian’s the first to pull away, a mischievous grin still on his face as Scar recovered. “Was that enough of a reminder that you didn’t give me my morning kiss?” Grian teased and Scar let out a breathless laugh. “More than enough,” he said, pressing an apologetic kiss to Grian’s cheek.

I'm a neurosparkly single mom with Hashimoto's as well as an author, web designer, and digital marketing and publishing specialist.

I am beyond excited to announce that after a half year’s worth of work, the CryptoZoo audiobook is now live on Audible, Amazon, and Itunes/Apple Store! The voice actresses Jaynee and Pam did a PHENOMENAL job! It is so surreal to hear your characters fall out of someone else’s mouth, and Jaynee and Pam not only delivered in the diverse range of characters, they put emotional punch behind every line and killer comedic timing. Please, give these guys a listen, even if it’s just the sample—and if you do listen to the full audiobook, please consider leaving feedback on their performance! Reviews really help us indie authors and book narrators get our work enjoyed by more audiences.

As a #writer, have you ever started writing a #book that you meant to be a standalone and then realize that there's too much going on with the plot to wrap it all up in one book? That's where I'm at. As hard as I try to make standalone stories, I happen to find a way to turn it into a #sequel, #trilogy, or even a #series. #writing #writingcommunity #bookseries #writingtips

Rage is power. Fury is creation.

We’re FREAKIN EXCITED to introduce Your Body, My Rage: A Feminine Rage Horror Anthology centered on feminine rage, empowerment, and reclamation. This is your chance to take the anger—the raw, visceral, transformative kind—and turn it into action.

We’re looking for horror short stories and artwork that push boundaries, twist genres, and scream truth. Whether it’s blood-soaked body horror, spine-chilling ghost stories, or something we’ve never seen before, your rage has a place here. The checklist on slide 2 covers all kinds of sub-genres to pick from, so pick your poison and go wild.

Proceeds from this anthology will be donated to advocacy organizations championing women’s rights and marginalized communities, with a focus on Black and Indigenous women. We want this to be a group effort all around, so those who preorder get to vote on where the proceeds go!

💡 head to BDA Publishing Instagram page and comment RAGE on this video to have the link to the full document of details DMed to you.

📅 Submissions are open now and close December 20.

Use the hashtag #YourBodyMyRage when sharing or posting!

This is more than horror—it’s defiance, reclamation, and most of all, ACTION. Let’s make them listen. Let’s make them scared. Let’s make them feel it

P.S. If any of my posts or works are too upsetting for you, you're within your right to click away. The book drops on July 21st, 06:00 (GMT+8).

[Huh?! Amandi has taken over the MSG Sphere in Vegas, too?]

I’m neck deep in con prep, but having a lot of hotel time this summer is also conducive to working on CryptoCity. ;)
