Prince Asta, from my NA romantasy, A SEA SO CRUEL, suffers from #OCD and is written by my #OwnVoice to bring more rep in the fantasy genre. She doesn't use magic to "fix" it or "cure" herself to save the day. It's just a part of who she is #amquerying #booksky #ocdawarenessmonth

Goodnight to everyone except people who smut shame 🖤✨️

STARLIGHT'S PROMISE Day 5 for #dvparty song. You know what they say about healers: if they know how to put you together, they know how to take you apart. Cassandra chooses to be a healer, but at the end of the night, she's the third strongest witch. And she'll do anything to stop the upcoming war.

What I've noticed from sharing memes/gifs to describe my story: Kaid is an absolute diva #DVparty
