Here we go!!
Revealing the new cover for 'Crossings' - art by krma and text design by Christina P :)
I'm thrilled with both! This cover is what I had in mind for the book way back when I first released it 10 years ago - it just took me a while to reach this moment :)

Well 😂 it depends. Traditionally I’ve done a drawing of Ohkai and Loba in costumes for about five years now? They always go for ‘low effort but matching/complimenting’.
Here’s a few of the past ones!
You may have to wait till next week to see what outfits they picked for this year 🤭 #LateNightWrite

Yes! But I tend to incorporate more horror-adjacent elements to larger stories rather than strictly horror, as I find that more interesting to write. I mean, my main genre of interest is dark fantasy 🤷♀️ I like the spooks #LateNightWrite
#LateNightWrite Alright. It’s getting to be around that time... Do you or have you ever written horror? If not, do you sometimes inject any spoopy vibes into you non-horror work?

Hey #LateNightWrite I’m Juniper. I write mostly dark fantasy/gothic things. My WIP is supposed to be an absurdist romp about a vampire warlock throuple but it’s actually more about overcoming your past, finding healing through safe love, and learning to change… or time travel or whatever 🤷♀️
Happy Saturday and welcome to another #LateNightWrite! Let's start with Introductions, tell us about yourself and your WIP(s) in any way you like.

Giving Midnight Mass a rewatch, having hot soup, workin on the Ohkoba Halloween art under a pile of blankets, it’s raining and overcast outside, the leaves are red and orange and falling, it’s 42 degrees. Autumn is truly unmatched 😌🍂

The perceived neutrality of whiteness has been sitting in my mind and bugging me a lot lately. It’s so pervasive, isn’t it? The way we’re made to think that pale skin is the blueprint and everything else is a deviation loaded with meaning.
