Author. Artist. Mythical creature enthusiast. Banter addict. Full-time daydreamer. If you love queer romantasy, slow-burn tension, cool creatures, magick, wild technology, and the occasional emotionally-devastating plot twist…hi, I’m your new favorite caffeinated story sprite. ☺️💕 #WritingCommunity

Just my little humble workspace. 💖🌿🌲🤓 I don’t have a fancy desk or chair or computer setup lol, but I love all the natural light from the sunroom and the view. 😌 #WritingCommunity

Calling all queer sci-fi romantasy lovers! ✨ www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6FvANbq/ I wrote & illustrated a book that’s like She-Ra meets KPop Demon Hunters meets Horizon Zero Dawn, & I’m turning it into an audiobook! 💖📚🌈 #WritingCommunity #Writers #WLW #WIP #Romantasy #Sapphic #lesfic #sapphfic #LGBTQIA

What if the girl power + singing & music in #KPopDemonHunters & the queer joy, magick, tech, evil bots, Al, & alternate planets of #SheRa & #Horizon Zero Dawn met in one epic romantasy series!? 🌈✨💖🪐 gofund.me/4e9b5248 @amberdoesaudio.bsky.social #GoFundMe #WritingCommunity #WLW #Sapphic #WIP

Some lovely weather we’re having in the Rockies today… Hail, thunderstorm, and tornado warning all in one!

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈 In honor of #Pride, I wanted to draw my FMC from my #WIP, Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials, & her “it’s complicated” frenemy/crush, Ash. This is a scene from Chapter 34: Just This. #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #Sapphic #FantasyWriters #lesfic #sapphfic #ButchFemme

As often happens with full-body poses, this took at least half a dozen re-draws & several awkward reference photos of myself (more life drawing classes, please!), but I finally finished the lineart for this #WIP of a scene from my upcoming #romantasy. #Art #WritingCommunity #Pride #PrideMonth

#JuneWorldbuilders 12. Here are the two outfits Ashrah wears in Chronicles of the Realms, Bound by Flame and Balance Is a Journey (you can clearly see which drawing is mine and which is from a real artist, but anyway, it's good enough to illustrate). Bound by Flame is her first and rougher (1/9)

June pinned post! Likes and reposts appreciated Just a little info about me, important links, and posts that I'm doing this month!

#WIPSnips “synchronized” All the playful banter, emotionally-compromising adventuring, & warm/fuzzy slow-burn flirting in Star*Relic is occasionally punctuated by the minor inconvenience of…imminent death. 💥 #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #SFF #Sapphic

Just me lately 😄

On Chapter 14 of Draco Malfoy & the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love now. Wow! It’s the most brilliant blend of wit, charm, & butterfly ache of falling in love. Easily one of the BEST things I’ve ever read in my whole life. Painfully humbling. Gloriously so. Great inspiration. #WritingCommunity

#WIPSnips “match” Providing 2 screenshots for this excerpt for more context. This is an argument that ensued between Torin, the oldest sibling, & Ash, the youngest (and the frenemy/crush of the FMC). #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Romantasy #AmWriting #Sapphic

#WIPSnips “glare” Count yourself lucky if you should avoid being on the receiving end of Drax’s glares. #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #Writesky #Art

Much has changed in Star*Relic throughout my edits. This latest round, I’ve reworked the Prologue a bit. Here’s the current version of the beginning! ✨⭐️✨ #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #SciFi #SFF #Romantasy #Sapphic

My artist friend & I were talking about life drawing & how much we loved it back in college. These aren’t all that spectacular now, but I dug up my old drawings from that class in 2007/2008. We were only allowed a few minutes for each drawing, which made it extra challenging. #Art #LifeDrawing

My first batch of custom cards for Elemental Tides (the card game featured in my #WIP sci-fi slow-burn romantasy Star*Relic) just arrived & I’m obsessed! The binder’s looking amazing. 🤩 Next up: larger cards & holographic versions! 💖 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #CardGame #Art #Cards

Just wrapped up round 3 of edits on Part One & Two of my #WIP, Star*Relic: Legacy of the Primordials! Next up: a final sweep for errors, polishing scenes, refining prose, & creating more illustrations to bring it all further to life! #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #Sapphic #Authors

Pearl is obsessed with her cardboard scratcher bed. It’s her absolute favorite thing. 😄

#PrideMonth #Pride #HorizonZeroDawn

#WIPSnips “point” Another excerpt with Poof in it, my FMC’s animal familiar. This part is from the POV of the frenemy/crush, Ash. #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors

Just my cat Pearl 🐱

My rough collie (rough being his breed, not his temperament 😆) had to be on steroids for what the vet thinks is a nasty allergic reaction to stuff outside, & my gosh, let me tel you, I’ve never seen a more ravenous animal — with both food & water!! He’s a true beast now, zero bladder control & all.

@kennethoppel.bsky.social has been one of my favorite authors since childhood! I LOVED the Silverwing series (Bats? Say no more! Soaring!). Every other book? A certified banger. Just saw he dropped a new one! My inner tween is feral with excitement. 🤩 #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity

Enchanted by She-Ra’s snappy banter, wonder (magic+tech), & wild inclusivity, & already obsessed with Horizon ZD/FW/BS (haven’t played Call of the Mountain 😭), I knew something was brewing. That something became Star*Relic! ✨⭐️🧬 #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriteAThon #WritingCommunity #PrideMonth #Pride

#LGBTQWriteAThon is upon us! Next month join @amaralynn.bsky.social and @rebeccafrostwrites.com for a month of much needed writing fun! #queerwriters will be combined with this event. Feel free to participate as little or much as you're able! #writesky #writingcommunity #pridemonth

#WIPSnips “wait” In honor of #PrideMonth, allow me to share a bit of a longer excerpt for this prompt in which my #trans woman, Ryn, expresses her desire to seek further support for her transition. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💖 #Pride #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #WIP #Authors #LGBTQ

Hi! I’m Vel, & my current #WIP is Star*Relic, a sci-fi romantasy with She-Ra & Horizon Zero Dawn vibes. Think ancient tech, lost civilizations, evil AI, found family, & magick. I’m especially proud of the rich diversity throughout the story. 💖🌈🧠🐾🧬 #WritingCommunity #Writers #QueerWriters #Sapphic
