A Gaze So Longing would smell like pine trees after a storm, honey, and roasted sunflower seeds

What would *your* book smell like if you engaged in a mega weirdo scented pages promotional campaign?

Here's an in-depth exploration of information you might wish to include in your Accessibility info for your venue or event, written by a disabled man!

Free to read.

johannestevans.co.uk/2025/10/15/d...
Some things to consider adding to your Accessibility section for your event and/or your venue, from a disabled man. "The venue is semi-wheelchair accessible" is a good place to start, but then planning a night out, more information is better than less! Accessibility is the most basic thing I look for in a venue, especially for events.

A very squishy chibi version of a character. Imagine the head as a big soft plushie head and the body a squishy bean bag. The character is brown skinned, brown hair in a bun, blue eyed, with a yellow headband. The character wears an oversized faded red sweater and grey skirt with a grey tank top peaking beneath the sweater.

✝︎ ineffable visions of the cosmos
✝︎ the divine calling out Catholic guilt
✝︎ weird worms & cannibalism
✝︎ tender yet terrifying love interests
✝︎ literal monsterfucking

Part of Catscratch's anniversary is also the release of Catscratch's bonus issue, made for @monstermanor.org's #hotwetqueersummer dash! Ruby and Paris have some sweet summer fun at the local pool and get a little naughty in the process! #catscratch
A cover reading 'Catscratch. A trans erotica comic, Bonus issue, Hot Wet Queer Summer.' There is a unicorn and a cat boy floating in a pool. The unicorn wears a big sunhat, and is sucking on a lollipop, while the cay boy is between their legs looking utterly pleased. Four panels. There is an establishing shot of a local pool, the group in the foreground of a cat girl, a cat boy hiding behind her, a hamster girl on her phone, and a frog girl looking pleased. The cat girl exclaims 'Damn! I know how to schedule a pool day!' The next three panels show off women, their breasts, their butt, their lips sucking on a lollipop as the cat girls yells 'Goddamn I know how to schedule, look at all these babes!'

It's the best time of the year! #SapphicSeptember is here and one of this year's themes is sapphic knights, which is one of my favorite things to both write and read about.

You can get this lesbian-centered, trans-inclusive, high heat Arthuriana series direct at my shop: riengray.shop ⚔️
Several women in the forest reach out to a knight with a heart on their tabard. It is the illustration The Fairy of the Dawn (1906) by Henry Justice Ford. Overlaid in orange text is Sapphic Knights for Sapphic September. Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Valerin the Fair overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes. Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Martis the Brazen overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes. Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Seure the Tempered overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes.

Available on Smashwords (where I get the highest royalties), Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Amazon/Kindle.

Beautiful character art by the incredibly talented @paintedpages.zt on insta
Slide 1: Text, a book cover, and character art on a foggy forest background. The book cover for "A Gaze So Longing" by River Flynn is centered. Above it: "14 days until release." Below it: "Sept 5 2025". On the left side of the slide, a side profile of Leonardo looking to the right, at Favian. We see Leonardo upwards from his upper arm. Leonardo has flowy brown curls that are a little longer than his shoulders. His eyes are brown, his skin a bronze brown, and he has freckles and dimples. Leonardo wears a ruffled blouse and a green jacket with golden embroidery, earrings, and a golden crown with red gemstones on his head. His chin is slightly tilted up at Favian, who is taller than him, and he looks flirtatious, a little sultry, and like he's challenging Favian. On the right side of the slide, a side profile of Favian looking to the left, at Leonardo. We see Favian upwards from his upper arm. Favian has beige skin, his hair is ashy blonde and a little shaggy, and his eyes blue. Favian wears a beige tunic that is tied together in the front. His chin is slightly turned town, his eyebrows drawn together. Favian looks soft and sorrowful. Slide 3: On the same foggy forest image background, the book cover and its surrounding trope map. The following tropes and themes are listed around the cover: servant x prince, forbidden romance, an entire bottle of angst, ptsd, slow-ish burn, lots of queers, opposites attract (introvert x extrovert), yearning, couples that dismantle the monarchy together stay together, lots of gazing, hurt/comfort, trauma bonding, 1st book in a duology. Slide 4: On the same foggy forest image background, a bigger version of the book cover and text. The text above the cover reads: "ebook release." the text below it reads: "smashwords, barnes & noble, kobo, amazon/kindle. A larger version of the character art on the same foggy forest background.
