New pfp drop

For all the authors out there needing character art, I may or may not be opening commissions soon while Im still on the job hunt. So keep an eye out! Ill be opening a few slots of general commissions, as well as some YCH commissions!

🌳🚙💨🌳 WE'RE MOVING TO PORTLAND!!! Please be patient with me during all this! Moving across the country is stressful, so socials will be updated slowly and sporadically. 💛💛💛

If you see this skeet you have to name a trans book more people should read. Under the Dragon Moon by @mawcehanlin.bsky.social A grumpy transmasc warlock in New Orleans solving a murder mystery while falling in love with a literal ball of sunshine—this book has ✨EVERYTHING✨

I just want to finish WallpaperWIP because there are two specific people I want to ask to ARC read it, and I am impatient to know if they'll like it... Is that a healthy motivation to finish? Probably not. But the world is falling apart, and I need that end goal lol

🌛Indie Ink Awards🌜 I am still in complete and utter shock at not only winning an Indie Ink Award for my debut novel, but winning FOUR of them! Like, what??? Seriously though, I could not have done it without all my amazing readers, my beloved friends, and this incredible community. I love you! 💛

In this original Urban Fantasy there’s tension, there’s suspense, there’s action, and there is a hell of a lot of tenderness bled throughout this one. Absolutely worth checking out. #FanFiAddict @mawcehanlin.bsky.social @writehive.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-under...

Big fan of @eldritchflower.bsky.social especially Ikarys The Damned!! And Under The Dragon Moon by @mawcehanlin.bsky.social and A Sharper, More Lasting Pain by @authoralexharvey.bsky.social and Mercy by @cometkins.bsky.social and and and

Me: I have a Catholic question about priest hierarchy for my book. The Bestie: Oh god, okay, phew. Better buckle up, because this shit is complicated. Moral of the story, I appreciate my bestie so much for putting up with my dumbass. @eldritchflower.bsky.social

When you set out to make a simple little story Bible notebook for your new tablet and accidentally go overboard and now just the TEMPLATE is already 30 pages and you just now got to the character portion... Anyway, if anyone is interested in a story Bible template... 🫣

That moment when you really want to do research on a very specific thing, but you cant for the life of you figure out how to word it in Google to actually do the research... 😤

I love this dumbass with my whole fucking heart, into. @eldritchflower.bsky.social

I just want to make my art. I just want to be creative. I don't want to have to fight a war every day against the people who want me and mine dead.

FYI - Due to itchio removing content with 'nsfw', 'adult', and 'lgbtq' tags, I have restricted all my work on Itchio until they either correct the mistake, or provide some kind of guidance. (1/2)

Hey, guys. In light of itchio's shadowbanning of adult and LGBT content, my short stories "His Sacred Heart" and "Warm Comforts" can now be downloaded from my site, morgandante.com.

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.

Okay so I paid for the Date Everything DLC so I could get the extras, and Lucinda Lavish was fun the first time or two she popped up, but now shes pissing me off bc she keeps popping up randomly and using one of my slots when im trying to talk to someone specific 😤😤😤

I swear, I LOVE editing. Its so much fun, and I love being able to help authors be the best they can be and help them make their books exactly what they want out of them. But GODS I wish my stupid mentally ill brain would get with the picture and actually let me *work*. Please. Im begging.

I recently started a Commonplace Journal, and this is absolutely my favorite page so far! My Superman (2025) tickets, next to my favorite superhero quotes! I love it so much! 😭💛

SUPERMAN WAS AMAZING!!! I was hesitant about it at first, because DC doesnt have the greatest track record with Superman movies, but I had hope with James Gunn directing. And let me tell you, he did an AMAZING job. I cannot wait to watch it again.

Everyone, please say hello to mine and @eldritchflower.bsky.social s new son, Westley Virginius von Scarberry Keel III, but we just call him Headlight. What proud new parents we are!

This is absolutely the best, most beautiful, take on AI that I've ever seen. Take notes people.

People out here really about to make me go on a twenty page rant about nerd culture and how Superman, and comic books as a whole, have always been "woke". Fuck off with your ignorance, Janet.

The spouse finds it endlessly entertaining that I cannot talk about my favorite Cinderella movie without staying "you know, the 1997 Roger's and Hammersteins Cinderella featuring Brandy" every time 🤣

How many times do I have to rewrite the second half of Wallpaper before it's *right*???

🌻 Short Story Surprise 🌻 Good Morning everyone!!! As promised, to celebrate the one year anniversary of my debut novel, UNDER THE DRAGON MOON, please enjoy this smutty little short. FREE to read on itch. io! 🌛💛🌜

I may or may not be dropping a smutty little MaeLeo short on itch io tomorrow! Keep an eye out! 🤭🤭🤭

You know what the most terrifying part about writing a series is? Its the idea that book 1 was your peak, and readers who loved it so much aren't going to like book 2 or 3 or 4. Anyway, book 2 of UtDM is making me sob, so you all better like it, or else. 😤👍

Me: Hey, so I have this new idea Taylor: No. Me: but- Taylor: you have NO time for this. Write it down for later. Me: UGH fine! *two days later* Me: so I did what you said and have shelved the new idea. Taylor: good! Me: but hear me out about this other idea— Taylor:

I need people to not give me bad news on days where I'm trying to be productive. Because now I'm just going to sit here spiraling and stressing, instead of doing anything I'm supposed to be doing.

🌛 Book Fair Alert! 🌜 It's time for the Monster Manor Book Fair!!! For the next few days, the ebook for UNDER THE DRAGON MOON will be on sale for only $0.99! Grab it now while you have the chance! Shoutout to @monstermanorbooks for making this happen!

Ughh my Superhero WIP is consuming my brain again and I DO NOT have time for it 😭 Why do the muses hate me so?

It's absolutely CRIMINAL that Bob isn't on any of the Thunderbolts tshirts and merch at Hot Topic. Like, he's the most important member of the team!

Are you even besties if you don't lovingly scream good night to them before going to bed? @eldritchflower.bsky.social

I love my best friend so much, send help 🤣🤣🤣 (For context, we're talking about Captain America) @eldritchflower.bsky.social

#SFFChat Hmm lets see, Under the Dragon Moon by @mawcehanlin.bsky.social was one of my favorite reads last year I just read Sweet and Wild by @applesncinnamon.bsky.social and it was fantastic And I'm hoping to read some of @danifinnwrites.bsky.social books this year

Made the mistake of falling into Doctor/River edits on TikTok and now I'm sobbing at 10am in the morning.

Why no, I will not stop making lovable side characters that absolutely steal the show whenever they're on page. Why ever would I do that?

I was blessed this day with two whole fortune cookies in a single packet. The gods shine down upon me.

Shoutout to the one beta reader working on WallpaperWIP who I didn't know was French until today and is lovingly fixing all my terrible French spelling throughout the draft. I am working with memories of high school French over a decade ago. I am SO sorry lol 🤣

🌛Crusty Man Hair🌜 We chaos post today because I've been too stressed and busy to do much else. So, have some silly art I drew of Mael a year or so ago for a hairstyles challenge! Which one is your favorite style? 🌻🌻🌻 UNDER THE DRAGON MOON is available in Paperback, eBook, KU, and on Audible!

I just need everyone to know that the EPIC: the Musical has been *devastating* for the the future of the UtDM series. Just FYI. So many of these songs are on my playlists for specific scenes/characters, and you should be afraid.

@eldritchflower.bsky.social asking the real questions.

I just love my fantasy space wives so much, your honor! 😤😤😤

The worst part about being a writer (especially with audhd) is not how hard writing is, or marketing, or editing. It's the fact that I have projects I am currently working on (with deadlines!), and yet my brain won't shut up about 20 other cool new ideas it wants to write RIGHT NOW.

Gentle reminder that the vast majority of indie authors are not wealthy and rely on income from KDP. Further, the majority of indie book shops will not stock most indie authors. Many of us have alternative places you can buy our books, but many do not. Something to keep in mind 📚💙

Every crusty old man deserves a blonde idiot to keep him company.

YALL THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVE BOOKS! YOU NEED TO READ IT!

Mael 🫶🏻
