Since I have no idea when my next book is going to be, here's a nice reminder that I my cozyish fantasy book came out in July, & I have a wonderful backlist of 4 novels, 3 novellas, and 3 short stories! So much to read while I do other stuff for a bit! sjean.earlronove.com#books

When Yesterday Ends by S. Jean Out Now graphic. To the left is a 3D version of the book, and in front of it is a phone with the cover on it. There is a short description to the right, and where to find it at the bottom. The text reads:
An herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends...
Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life.
At least, until Ambrose learns the town’s secret: Renwick, the hidden fey lord cursed to eat human hearts. Ambrose is his next victim, unless he can break a fifty-year curse before summer ends.
The problem? He’s never broken a curse in his life and trying to solve this one might just kill him anyway...
Ebook & Paperback available now!

A graphic detailing S. Jean's, queer sci & fantasy author, books. The covers are lined up and are: when yesterday ends, be not afraid, the devil in the woods, born of scourge, wherever the stars call, errant wings, and hymn of memory. Below them is a description of all of them and it reads: An herbalist running out of time to fix a curse, a deadbeat guitarist on the run from angelic horrors, a lost punk with angel wings, an urban legend that's real, space runaways and their vampire, a fallen star's journey for revenge, & a young man's memories eaten away by divinity... read these stories and more at sjean.earlronove.com

First batch of custom opossums: a vampire and a witch! For all your spooky ‘possum needs. These lil guys were done for @ steviehosler_writes on Instagram 💖 #artsky #opossum

Two opossums sitting in a patch of grass. One is a vampire opossum with fangs, red eyes, and a big collared cape. The other is a witch opossum wearing a wide-brimmed witch’s hat, stirring a cauldron of witch’s brew, which is green.

Convincing you to like Jonah in one dialogue line!! This is literally one of my fave dialogue lines in the entire book. It sets the stage for exactly who Jonah is, and exactly where his heart’s at. He’s a good guy, but he’s also a major grump 😂 #booksky #sffwriterchallenge

Convincing you to like Captain Jonah Morgan in just one dialogue line

An image of the cover for the book Blood of the Gods by Wren L. Rivers sits below the text, as well as an illustration of Jonah, who has pale skin, ginger hair, and brown eyes. He is wearing a gray shirt and has a red coat slung over his shoulder.

A million possible words swam through Jonah's head.
Karina was right. You can join our crew. If you put in the work, I'll give you a chance.

"You look stupid sitting there," was what came out of Jonah's mouth. "You'll embarrass yourself."

I have a spinoff half-planned for Elaine, the goddess of fire. Her story is one that endlessly fascinates me. The spinoff, probably a novella, would follow her mortal life as she journeys into the Underworld to collect the components necessary to kill the old god of fire, Blight. 🔥
