"Caulborn" is a term used in the world of my WIP Making Monsters for those who are born wrapped in the amniotic sac. It's a direct reference to real life Benandanti and Italian folklore.

Stay turned for Part III.

A Grimdark SFF novel. NOT a romance.

The picture includes the artwork depicting the MC of Making Monsters by Freddie A. Clark, Niko Grigg, a beefy, heavily tattooed man in his thirties, wearing leather clothes and spikes. He has short blond hair, light blue eyes, and a cigarette in his mouth. He joins his hands in prayer in a mocking way as he stands against a wall full of graffiti. Angel wings are painted on the wall behind him. The artwork is by the Italian artist Martina Belli. Text: ART BY MARTINA BELLI A rusty background with hexagonal shapes. Text: Like all Benandanti, Niko is a caulborn. Being born wrapped in his amniotic sac gave him innate shamanic powers and the ability to see the dead. DNA manipulation made him a Nephilim while still in the womb. Explaining this further would be a massive spoiler. A rusty background with hexagonal shapes.

I usually don't write romantic stuff, but I published this steampunk short story under another pen name and it might be perfect for Valentine's Day.
While the premise is sad and dark, it has a happy ending.

It's short, sapphic, and you can grab a copy here:

This character has me in a chokehold. He's very '90s-coded and he's giving me Charmed nostalgia for some reason. His brief appearance in Making Monsters makes me wonder if I should write a whole ass spin-off about him because I'll miss him for sure when his storyline is done

If anyone tries to paint you a villain, make sure to pose in your best Final Boss self.
The kind that would require them to spend hundreds of hours leveling up all characters and materias to LVL99, get a Golden Chocobo, Knights of the Round, fight all the Weapons, etc…

You’re helping them grow.
