#FantasyIndiesApril & #QueerPrompts April 4: Free Friday

🎉 Happy release day, @artcoffeecats.bsky.social! 🎊

Today's your chance to grab this heartwarming queer romantasy that celebrates found family, the power of embracing who you are, and all the magic and love that comes with that.
Background is purple feathers. The foreground is text on the right and a book cover on the left. The top text says "Out now!" Below that, the text says: "Call Forth the Moonlight: A Magíqon's Guide to Gryphon Liberation by Z.M. Celestaire is a cozy queer romantasy that's a heartwarming and fun celebration of found family, the power of embracing who you are, and all the magic and love that comes with that." The cover shows two males back to back, the one on the left smiling with glasses, frilly shirt with a bow, pale skin, and straight white hair blowing in the wind. The one on the right has a more apprehensive expression and his wavy dark brown hair is shaved down on one side to reveal a star-shaped scar and he's wearing a pink coat over a yellow shirt and has darker skin than the other. Behind them and over their heads is a gryphon, with a black feathered head and foreclaws and light gray rear body, legs, and lion tail. A white light glows behind them. A white wind swirls from the bottom left to the top center and around to the top left. Some black feathers appear on the bottom right. Below the two men is the title "Call Forth the Moonlight" written in a cursive font and "A Magíqon's Guide to Gryphon Liberation" written in a typewriter font. That same font is used for "Z.M. Celestaire" written above the two and to the right of the gryphon.

I'm getting into my sapphic MCs, but I am realizing that I may never be a dark fantasy author in my adulthood lol everything turns out emotional and heartfelt 🤷🏻

Very excited to be drafting a brand new idea! I'm forcing myself to lock in to non-male characters by writing a sapphic romantasy. I've always been so clunky and anxious about writing feminine characters, but I'm gonna do it. 🌈✒️

After deliberating about it all week, I ended up putting through the paperback of Call Forth the Moonlight to be published on Amazon still. I just can't justify paying a dollar more per copy on IngramSpark when I also trust their customer service so much less. The ebook is only on D2D though.

Hurt/comfort >>>>>>

plus a creeping gryphon
Nico stretched over me and piled an extraordinary number of pillows behind my back, propping me up against a luxurious, albeit dusty mountain. He was so close that I could see the shadows shift over his skin as a muscle rolled in his jaw. Before my body caught up to my addled brain, I threw my left arm around Nico’s shoulders and clung tightly to him. He gasped and went motionless. The warmth and solidity of his body was a lifeline extending down into the depths where I had sunk. In my chest, the flame flickered brighter. “I didn’t mean to yell,” I whimpered into his neck, which smelled of the muskier salt of sweat as well as the slightly fishy salt of the sea. “I’m just—” “I know, I know. You’re alright. Just breathe.” The ends of his hair whisked across my brow. He rubbed a whisper-soft circle on my back.
