My WIP! NEW FARMERS ALMANAC FOR EXOPLANETS | SF with romance. A future where Earth is barren and scientists are welcomed onto another planet to study its soil. Only Izzy finds herself caught up in Tzio’s labor fight. Aliens, chickens, geckos, ace-rep romance, unions, farms, and dirt. #DVParty

Meet Bea from my upmarket contemporary w/ romantic arc SHAMELESSLY WANTING. She’s a librarian moonlighting as a camgirl, trying her best not to fall apart when her online persona is exposed—complicated by a board member’s censorship campaign and a too cute for his own good boss. #DVParty

Collage for a character intro. 

SHAMELESSLY WANTING, Upmarket Contemporary w/ Romantic Arc (87k) by Frankie Joy

BEA: gummy bear fueled, anxious avoidant, narrating her life in lipgloss. 

SOME GIRLS WOULD SAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE WORTH-SHE DID. MOVIE NIGHT AND LINGERIE $25. MORNING O $10. BOUNCING IN SHEER$20.

HELP! I'VE FALLEN INTO A REASONABLY FORESEEABLE CRISIS OF MY OWN MAKING ..AND I CAN'T GET UP!

AND WHY SHOULDN'T HE WITH WHAT SHE WAS: MELTED ICE CREAM. BURNT TOAST. SOMETHING SOURED ON THE COUNTER.

Background is graph paper and cutout pink paper with sparkles and doodles. Character art of Bea. She is white with brown hair and eyes. She’s in front of a window with light behind her. She’s wearing a dark purple lacy bra.

SHAMELESSLY WANTING (87k) Upmarket contemporary w/ romantic arc. A librarian with a secret, a boss keeping his distance, and a board member on a censorship campaign. Emotional spirals, totally healthy coping, bad jokes, dick jokes, an undervalued bff, and a FMC trying her best (mostly). #DVParty

Background is graph paper with doodles of stars and circles. The words SHAMELESSLY WANTING are at the center in cutout magazine letters--various colors and styles. Images surround the text: strawberry shake, leopard print lingerie, art of the FMC and the LI, camera on tripod, microphone in a crowded room, text message, library cart, pen cap, gummy bears. 

Other text on the image:
- Strawberry = new fave / I don't even like him like that. He's my boss.
