Two figures ride in a saddle on the back of a smirking golden dragon, a terrified human being held securely in place by a larger orc with a long braid. The edges are rough and it says "Hello from His Orc Lord's Accidental Accountant" in the style of a holiday destination postcard.

WE'RE LIVE! Get my healthpunk #mmfantasy adventure on BackerKit 🐲 mmdragons.com Been dealing with health stuff lately, but still hoping we reach the 🎧📚 goal #🌈📚 #mmromance #GayRomance #MMReaders #gaybooksky #mmromancebooks #mmbooksky #cozybooks #Romantasy 🌍📚 🎨 MCs + Cover @samiligia.bsky.social

A tall, scrawny human male wearing fussy pince-nez and a book slung on his hip (Tal) is standing in front of a taller and broader orc male with a long black braid, fur cloak, gold jewelry, and thick riding boots. His right hand is holding on the butt of a massive crossbow resting on the ground, his left comfortably resting on Tal's hip.
||
Around them are words with arrows pointing to each figure. Tal's are: needs a lift, 32, never been kissed, repressed af, book nerd, hidden disability, fear of heights.. Surak's are: needs a guide, 29, dragon rider, queer normative culture, big found family crew. Both together are: warrior x clerk, lost in translation.
||
The background is white with a border somewhere between an asian and nord influenced style that graduates from ocean blue to sunny gold. A tablet displaying the eBook is shown on the left, while the Collector's Edition hardcover (with sprayed edging) is shown on the right. The cover is of a laughing Surak and terrified Tal riding on the back of a grinning golden dragon (Atago) as he flies over a beach, and the title: His Orc Lord's Accidental Accountant (by CJ Pines).
||
On BackerKit! is displayed on a gold banner in the upper left corner.

Just letting everyone know, I'm making my abuelita proud. I just checked the VapoRub I used and it expired in 2019. My nieces don't know it yet but I'm leaving it to them in my will. That's generational VapoRub. Plus its the lavender scented one and that feels limited edition, you know?

You know how the most intriguing a man can have is Something Wrong With Him? Guy starting work with a new partner and the two of them drive around - shipping or special deliveries, maybe repair work, where they're like. Fairly low tier in their workplaces and with a decent amount of urgency

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass. It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots. This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

The son of a fisherman, HOLAA opens in Tal's terraced fishing village, perched on cliffs overlooking a natural beach harbor. Leaving only semi-willingly, he's often homesick even as he explores the wider world 🐉 mmdragons.com #SeptemberWorldbuilders #🌈📚 #mmfantasy #mmromance #cozybooks #romantasy

The hardcover of 'His Orc Lord's Accidental Accountant' by CJ Pines, sits in the upper right corner above a snippet of text:
||
For a moment, my heart leaps as I spy a sparkle on the horizon. A familiar smudge of white that —
But no. No, it is not the cliffs above my harbor, nor any other waters that I know. I am adrift on currents utterly foreign to me, and I begin to fear Pjers may have been right after all; that this is a mistake, and I have chosen my own ruin.
So be it. At least I have made a choice, instead of allowing it to be made for me.
The air is crisp up here, the daylight bright. My lungs are finally starting to settle. Perhaps there are finally as exhausted as I. We fly in silence but for the wind and Atago's wingbeats marking the time. He does not fly steady, there is a rise and fall to each new surge. It's oddly peaceful, really — provided I do not allow myself a look below us to the ground.
If I close my eyes, it's almost as if I am on my father's little fishing boat again; anchored in the bay under a skyful of stars as he coaxes glimmerfish and the odd aetherfin into his nets. Bobbing on waves of ink as it rises and falls, rises and…
(To Be Continued…)

A banner reading 'On BackerKit' sits in the lower left corner over the image of Tal, a tan-skinned human male with short wild hair and fussy pince-nez glasses, who is standing in front of a taller and broader green-skinned orc male with a long black braid, fur cloak, gold jewelry.
