And we have a front cover!!! (And 😇 Saint-of-an-Editor 😇 already helping to make it shine like Taryn's earrings!) Woot! 🥳 I think it turned out pretty well!

Seven Years Love cover: oil pastel of a ship silhouetted against the sky, riding the waves. A slightly transparent written list overlays the ship and sky, tilted to the right, with only some of the words visible against the blue, including 'Thrice stolen sailor's gem, a mermaid's treasure', 'the scarecly avoided', 'grave', 'dust', 'curse', and 'a whole'. On the waves, below the ship, reads Seven Years' Love, following the shape of the waves and the bottom of the ship and, below that, Ellie Lieberman. The words are in JTC Blackadder font, black with light blue shadow

And we have the sky and ocean done! Might scan it in as it is for a potential back cover! Next up is the 2nd attempt at the ship! Wish me luck!!! 🤞🤞🤞 (I'll post another video talking a little about how I do the waves)!

Oil pastel of a sky and waves. The art piece is sitting on top of the container of my oil pastels and a blender and some paper towels I was using to blend, as well, sit around it. This is the 2nd attempt at the cover for Seven Years Love!

Happy Saturday, #PrideBookFair! Today I'm sharing another "Cover --> First Page" post. This one is for "The Elysium Proposal." Book cover by The Cover Collection (www.thecovercollection.com) #BookSky #WriteSky The StoryGraph: bit.ly/sg-TEP Goodreads: bit.ly/GR-TEP

Silhouette of a long-haired individual with a sword and tattered clothing, standing against an eerie green sky. The Elysium Proposal by A.E. Bross1. Kyle’s gut was a tangle of nerves that squirmed unpleasantly as she fixed her short, dark hair in the looking glass. With a huff, she pulled at her sleeves, hoping that straightening them would put the finishing touches on an outfit that made her look more the dashing ship’s captain and less the anxious suitor. Yes, she was both; she just didn’t want to look both. She adjusted her clothing in the mirror of her cabin, fiddling with the edges of the collar that showed beneath her fine blue coat, the one of elegant brocade. She wore new, spotless black trousers and a clean white shirt, the material pristine, the top few buttons left open to make it low and revealing. Her father had given her the captain’s coat just that past solstice. She only ever took it out on special occasions, and it looked spectacular if she did say so herself. And she did. Not that that would matter. Regardless of how poorly or well planned, what came next wasn’t up to her. When not even her signature swagger and confidence could assuage her fears, she let her shoulders drop in defeat. “I don’t know if I can do this,” she muttered. The ring box in her coat pocket was making her ensemble and her mood heavier, weighing it all down with expectations and anxiety. “Did you say something, Captain?” asked Markham. Gilbert Markham, a wiry slip of a man, was The Stargazer’s First Mate and Kyle’s most trusted friend. He sat at a small desk, Kyle’s desk, in the captain’s quarters, his long legs somehow folded comfortably beneath it as he scribbled notes on a piece of parchment. Organized and detail-

Pride month is the perfect time to share the moment when Alma meets the Daughter of Night, the mysterious woman she'll soon fall for Like what you see? Get Woman of Sorrow & Blood to explore their tragic love story On Itch: diannagunn.itch.io/wosab Or elsewhere: books2read.com/u/m0p0kW #HorrorSky

I manage three steps forward before I find myself rooted to the spot, unable to think beyond a sudden desire to memorize the Daughter of Night’s every feature. Her high cheekbones, her sharp chin, the redness of her lips, the wavy black hair curling around her shoulders. She’s too pale, like she’s on death’s doorstep, and she clings to her chair like she can’t be upright without it; all signs of the illness she endures. She’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, more beautiful even than Nightmother, though it would be blasphemous to say so.
