I hate to say that sex workers tried to warn y'all this wasn't going to stop at just porn sites, but...

The Roselin Rants read & react series on Grey has begun...gods help us! youtu.be/H08h5JATugI

I am not doing #FantasyIndiesDecember Day 4 because I have no recipe to share, sorry!! Maybe next year when I will have figured out how to make the gingerbread cookies I'm baking THIS year, lol.

I can't do math. Today is actually the 5 days until BE NOT AFRAID's release. Have a trope map instead of another seraph (he's coming back tomorrow, I promise, he's just degrading his quality further). books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

In case you missed it, I have a new video up about everything I read during the fall season! My thoughts on indie books like Hymn of Memory by @earlronove.bsky.social and classics like Carmilla are included in the wrap-up~!

My fall reading wrap-up video is now public! Here are my thoughts on all the books I read this season~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDMN...

#FantasyIndiesDecember Day 3: Would it be horrible of me to recommend my book, Like Falling Stars? It's a cozy fantasy, set around the holidays, with a frost faerie male lead! A Christmas Carol is a short holiday classic obvs. I also like holiday-themed cozy mysteries. Beyond that, I need your recs!

This cover is so fucking good, and if you sign up to join the reveal you get to see it early 👀👀👀

I've received five paperback copies of The Alliance Saga: Clouded Moon #1 - Shifting Roots! Bookmarks are becoming limited in stock so please give me a second option in case your first choice runs out! Orders are packed Friday, shipped Saturday. ko-fi.com/s/31f1076d28

#FantasyIndiesDecember Day 2! There are many different holidays in the world of Stellar Eclipse, but the one of highest concern in WTS Cloudless Rain is the winter solstice. As the longest night of the year, and the only night a particularly ominous constellation comes into view, it is bad news!

#FantasyIndiesDecember Day 1! Let's see if I can keep up! I am Avalon Roselin, a 30-something queer Horror and Fantasy author. I'm currently working on a new edition of my Dark Fantasy/Thriller, Cloudless Rain. Really hoping I can finish and post Act One this year, lol.

Do you have enough fantasy in your life? Even if you said yes, you should still check out this bundle of 60+ books! BORN OF SCOURGE (perfect for snowy winters), my fallen star out for revenge against humanity, is included! Pick them all up for $45 at itchio! 📚 itch.io/b/3409/end-o...

It would be remiss of me not to continue BE NOT AFRAID's countdown to release day. The seraph's getting a little distorted though, huh. What's with those guys anyway... Also, have another snippet! Still time to pre-order! Find it at itchio, amz, b&n, & more! books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

Reminder thar you can also "gift" subscriptions! If you already have one or don't want one but would like to do something good, it's a great option!

So the ending of Hymn of Memory by @earlronove.bsky.social hit me like a freight train and I need to lay down and scream and dance and cry and eat ice cream about it.

🕯️🥀🍂 SHORT STORY 🍂🥀🕯️ One night, Jace finds a runaway in his barn. A boy with a horrifying story. ❌ no romance 🕸️ gothic-horror 📔 26 pages 🔖 universal link: mybook.to/b4aB7L 💌 itch.io link: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/someone-else... 📖 goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Yeah, I write for myself. But I also write because I want to hopefully one day give someone the same feeling I have when reading Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, Berserk, One Piece. Things that give me life. Even just giving a fraction of that feeling to someone else would be worth it.

Dedicating this to all my Bluesky followers.

Finally done with this piece, and so pleased (for now) with how it turned out! Supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi get the full tarot card version~!

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving

Don’t want to pay for a book? Ask your local library to get a copy. Can’t do that? Many indie authors would probably send you a pdf if you were chill and asked them nicely. I live paycheck to paycheck and I’ve never pirated a book. It’s pretty easy.

Next up on my TBR is Dragon Blind by Iman Christians. She's an indie author I found on TikTok, and after hearing her talk about this book, I am beyond excited to read it. It's on KU if you want to join my reading journey! Follow the author on TikTok @drimanauthor #booksky #fantasy

There's a lot going on, and I think it's a cool time to remind anyone who wants to read my books and can't financially get them, I have a form for free copies! I also have free copies on itchio if someone tips! Just don't use piracy sites for my books. 🌻 forms.gle/Dvw1xMoQgXup... earlronove.itch.io

Happy Holidays! You can get a cat commissioned with a Holiday Collar for $7.50 at my Ko-Fi shop! Consider helping an indie author and get a nice gift for yourself or a friend~ ko-fi.com/roselinbooks

Without downloading any new pics, what's it like dating you? (I asked my husband to pick!)

As we continue to approach BE NOT AFRAID's release on December 9th, I thought I could share some fun facts about my horror novella. I think they're fun, anyway. Preorder my horror novella feat. a guitarist's very bad night & some violent angels today! ➡️ books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

Good morning. Write the unhinged thing. It's always the right decision.

You fell into an enchanted sleep only to awaken to a guy kissing you 100 years later? Problematic age nap.

Very proud to work with @vincentlore.bsky.social on my first attempt at professional voiceover work! Check out the audiobook preview of Friend of the Damned here: youtu.be/jxe8I94Zpqs

I do a lot of detailed lesson in the Self-Editing Series, but I also dropped a quick, easy checklist to read, print, and refer to as needed during edits! I prefer that people don't have to suffer through the revision process, and I think this helps! www.patreon.com/posts/self-e...

Stay safe, stay strong, stay beautiful 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #illustration #transawarenessmonth

What's a movie you never tire of?

Less than 25 days until BE NOT AFRAID releases on Dec 9th! A deadbeat guitarist's bad night only gets worse when he's thrust into hell, seraphs demanding his sacrifice hot on his heels. His only hope is another angel, one with eyes he used to know. Pre-order today! books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

What a great prompt! Baltan gets results. He won't feel GREAT about breaking his word if it was a promise he made to someone he cares about, but he will if he feels he has to. As for rules? Fuck 'em. Eureka still hasn't forgiven himself for breaking his oath, although it was out of his hands...

You know what book is GREAT to curl up with for cozy season? Like Falling Stars! Cozy Fantasy focusing on friendship between an autistic faerie prince and an amnesiac human woman~

I finished my last batch of commissions, so I'm open again! If you're wondering what to get someone for the holidays, maybe some art...? ko-fi.com/roselinbooks...

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence! Share yours too, if you want! Just Trent causing problems at a bar. You know how it is. BE NOT AFRAID is out Dec 9th! 👁️
