Almost missed this! Thank you so much @monstermanor.org for running the Hot Wet Queer Summer dash/jam 💚

I need to make a post for #WaterMe. There's progress, but also some obstacles I might need help around to get this story out. Will update when I can 🙌🏽🐉

An illustrated book cover of a brown-skinned hobgoblin woman lifting a blue-skinned elf that is much larger and more muscular than she is. Several figures float in the background on chunks of concrete looking towards them.

An update on my #hwqs book that I've *really* been looking forward to: here's the cover reveal for Lifting Waits! 💚 It feels real

A blue line sketch of a demon woman with her face contorted, mid-conversation with the viewer. She is gesturing behind her with her thumb, pointing to a towering hyena woman, glaring down at the viewer with obvious distaste.

17,947 words means this is now the longest solo work I've ever created.

Friends of mine won't be surprised that I managed to pack a big cast into that word count. Have an old sketch of Gygy & Rike, owners of the best damn noodle takeout in town.

Here’s a silly gif thread that sums up the latest scene I’ve written in #LiftingWaits #hwqs

A promotional piece for #HotWetPitch displaying a painted beach and ocean, overlaid with a pixelated book cover. De La Mar, Con Amor sits beside it, and a box overlaid on the beach portion states the following: Xionel's grandmother is dead. In her will she leaves him everything from her home, her wealth, and makes a final plea to him: return to Nicaragua. The one place, in all his travels as a nature photographer, he never had the heart to return to. Xionel makes the decision to go, called by the ache of missing a home and culture he's never known but always loved, and finds the roots his grandmother buried go deeper than he could ever have imagined."

The same beach and sea painting overlaid with the same book with its pixelated cover saying Work In Progress, now centered, with tropes surrounding it. It includes, from left top and counter clockwise to the right, BIPOC trans MC x Cis(?) mermain LI, latin inspired witchcraft & mythos, mermaids & shapeshifters, hot ritual sex, finding your place & identity, family magic, queer rep, and finally: m/m romance.

🌊 DE LA MAR, CON AMOR 🌊

Presenting my project for the #HWQS Jam! This is very close to my heart: a mix of Nicaraguan culture with low fantasy and magic, with mermaids and more! An adult romance erotica low fantasy novel(?) coming soon!

graphic reads “I’m participating in the Hot Wet Queer Summer Jam”

graphic containing a collection of images: dice, card players at a casino, a rosary hanging from a car mirror, bats flying through the air, a faceless man covered in blood, and a clipping from a newspaper that reads “supposed dead man asks for a smoke”

i’ve never done an itchio event so i’m kinda intimidated buttt i wanna give it a shot! for the jam i’m gonna be working on an untitled project i’m really excited about: GROSS VAMPIRE MOBSTERS IN THE ‘80S

While I write digitally, I've found that I plan and outline best in a physical space to start with. This is the back of my iPad case, and the story beats for my #hwqs novella
