Not the first guy who'd be disappointing their dad with me

My story "Demon in Heaven" is in here! After this, I don't think God or the Devil want anything to do with me.
"A priest confronts his homosexuality in a steamy encounter with a demon."
There are 30 other crazy stories in here, too, so check it out~

Trying my hand at serializing a novel on Royal Road~ It doesn't fit into the high fantasy world all my other stories take place in, so I wasn't sure what to do with it until now.

All I Ever Wanted Roll for Short Story #8- Romantasy between an assassin and a soldier. But they're both kinda dumb.

Missed a day but back with a good old psychotic breakdown~
Another #wipsnip from Destiny's Ink 🌈📚🤴

"Ignorance is no excuse for negligence." -our sweet Prince Elias upon hearing how slumy the slums are.
A #wipsnip from Destiny's Ink~ Hoping September is the month I hear back from an agent 🤞
#booksky

Best test of character: if my cat trusts you, I trust you-- according to Eli

Another #wipsnip from my completed novel that's out querying

"'Not really. Maybe a little. You are cute when you’re mad. Your nose scrunches up a little bit.'
Quin threw a leatherbound journal in response, now overly aware of his nose."

Some cute flirty banter from my pirate project. (Quin flirts through violence and threats- according to Emil.)

Casualties of Progress Roll for Short Story #7- Steampunk fantasy about an explorer captured by a soldier in a country torn by civil war between the mechanically advanced society and anti-tech tribes.

New episode of Roll for short story~ I seem to roll steampunk a lot but I know nothing about steampunk :/

Another fun line from Destiny's Ink~
"Papers and weapons scattered the floor, and a large, partially scrubbed bloodstain dyed one corner a reddish brown."

What's a reunion without some trauma dumping?

Thanks! 💕 I haven't gotten any rejections yet so there's hope!

Ooo this sounds good! I hope they find each other 🥺

Now today's snip! Back to my completed novel that's out querying.

Snip for yesterday that I forgot to post.
A bit of context, Quin is the fearsome pirate and Emil is just a little explorer
"Death can be an adventure, too!"

The prince, but only because he's at least not fighting it

I'm querying to agents so I can traditionally publish

Wipsnip of the day!
This time, a snip from a different WIP
#wipsnips
Unsurprisingly, Emil will have a bad time because he touched it.

This is from the novel I'm querying right now. The MC is searching for answers for what that pirate did, but accidentally wins the prince's marriage game

The pitch for my MM fantasy novel, Destiny's Ink~ ❤️📚🌈⚔️
A thief haunted by his past unwittingly wins the prince's marriage contest, thrusting them both into a treasonous plot that will tear them apart.
