First post on Bluesky so I guess I will introduce myself!
I'm Briar Belmont. I write spicy LGBTQ+ romance, and my debut book, Demon of the Deep is out now! It's a spicy MM romance that follows two rival pirate captains as they go from obsessed with revenge to obsessed with each other.
Check out my first ever podcast appearance as an author! Give it a listen if you want to hear me talk about writing, pirates, historical (in)accuracies, and read a spicy section of Demon of the Deep (and possibly fumble reading the word 'cock' out loud).

I've become addicted to commissioning art of my characters, I fear. Someone please stage an intervention. (or buy my book so I can afford more art)

Since we're almost at the end of January I figured it's about time I gave a sales update for Demon of the Deep.
DotD came out on October 15th of 2024 so it has been about 3 and a half months since it's release date, so here are it's sales (to date 1/27/25) 🧵

Going through my manuscript and editing out as many instances of the word 'was' as possible. This is mind-numbing.

Just finished reading ‘Don’t Let the Forest In’ by C.G. Drews and let me tell you I am genuinely distraught, this book has ruined my life and sanity.
