Hey everybody! Time to check back in.

I'm K Arsenault Rivera.

I write original work, like my sapphic Eros and Psyche book OATH OF FIRE and my debut THE TIGER'S DAUGHTER, as well as IP stuff. I've written for Magic, DC, Star Wars, and Pathfinder.

Bisexual and Biracial.

Need a @lairdbarron.bsky.social primer? Even if you don't, you can read about his work. @gemmafiles.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @victorlavalle.bsky.social and me sing his praises in the piece as well.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

66 You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid.... You refuse to do it because you want to live longer.... You're afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you're afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dionysus, The Revelry 🌟 (they/them)

Reposting one of my absolute favorite D&D Illustration I ever made for awesome @thehobgoblin.bsky.social 😍
Fullbody digital illustration of d&d character Dionysus. They're a feminine looking slender humanoid with tan, tattoed skin, brown wavy hair and pink bright eyes. They're holding a staff with a glowing pinecone at the top, running in a grass field under a starry sky, wearing a two piece set of blue and purple top and trousers, a pair of boots/sandals and a veil on their head. Various pieces of jewerly adorn their frame. A tiny constellation shines in their palm.

oh miss ivy 🥀

#art
an illustration of poison ivy; every part of her being seems to be amalgamated into the tree bark, its roots, the vines and the leaves. in the distance are gothic looking structures that seem overtaken by nature.

Here’s more about my next book, DAUGHTER OF THE HUNT!
Promo image for Daughter of the Hunt, K’s new novel. It says “the hunt begins. Be one of the first to read daughter of the hunt, available as a read now on net galley 16-19” A plot summary of Daughter of the Hunt. When a goddess falls for her sacrifice, can their love survive? Iphigenia Pelops lives only to serve her family. As the eldest child, it is her responsibility and privilege—as well as the only safeguard against the family curse. So when Artemis, Queen of the Court of the Wild, demands a sacrifice in exchange for a blessing during a power struggle, Iphigenia seems the natural choice. However, Artemis is horrified when she learns that Iphigenia’s family offered her without her consent. As recompense, she takes Iphigenia as her disciple and teaches her the ways of the hunt—and soon the ways of the body as love blossoms between them. Only Iphigenia cannot escape her precious siblings, doomed to misfortune by the Pelops curse—and freeing them will require a terrible cost. Daughter of the Hunt is available in all formats 3/17/26 In most cases, we would start the story on the day I died. Greek gods mixed with fae courts, Iliad retelling, breaking family curse, Sapphic and ace representarion, mental health representation, bondage 👀

A new book from one of my favorite authors? You bet your ASS I am pre-ordering.

Also, if you haven't already, go read Their Bright Ascendency. I cannot say enough about how good that series is.
