Hi it's #portfolioday and I want to share these book covers I've done✨

Femme Fatales! Omnibus by @djrussoauthor.bsky.social
The Dragos Assistant by @lizziestrongauthor.bsky.social
MothManager by @lunacantrip.bsky.social
Book cover for the Femme Fatales omnibus by DJ Russo, art features a demon woman, a female creature from the black lagoon, and a bee woman Book cover for The Dragos Assistant by Lizzie Strong. The front cover features a plus sized elf in a red dress being held by a red dragon humanoid man against a desk with bookshelves in the background. Back cover features the blurb surrounded by a gold filigree frame that matches the text on the front cover and spine. Book cover for Moth Manager by Luna Cantrip. The front cover shows a freckled redhead woman in a yellow dress and high top canvas shoes being held in a clinch pose by a mothman in a suit and Tetris-pattered tie that matches his socks. The background is a sunset and they appear to be standing on a cloud. The back cover features the blurb in instant message-style text bubbles, overlaying a background with a PC gaming setup and an orange tabby cat asleep on the chair.

Reposting in a more readable format:

It's my birthday! Full recs and links in thread! Alt text also contains the full recs.
I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming This book is just a joy. I don't normally gravitate toward alien romance, but this book made a believer of me. Dory is such a FUN character and she's constantly like NOTHING MAKES BIOLOGICAL SENSE HERE. Add in two sexy aliens, a talking lion, and a research assistant owl creature, and you have a book I'll return to again and again. Feast While You Can by Mikaella Clements & Onjuli Datta Listen, if I have to shove this book into the hands of every person even remotely interested in horror romance, I'm going to do it. Moody and atmospheric, this one had some truly scary moments. The character work was phenomenal. And sexy sapphics! The Blood Trials by NE Davenport This is the book I recommend people try if they enjoyed Fourth Wing and don't know where to go next. Ikenna is such an amazing character and her grief and rage are so relatable, considering her circumstances. Sure, everyone is trying to kill her and her instructor is kind of hot, but she's the best of the best for a reason... The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemisin I love all of NK Jemisin's books, but this series holds a special place in my heart. The story and world are lush and terrible and perfect. While I wouldn't say it necessarily has a romantic subplot, I WILL say it contains one of my favorite sub-tropes of "We're going to have sex, but also you might very well kill me in the process..." I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones I LOVE the Jade Daniels series, but this book offers a different perspective on slashers. It hurts in the best way possible, an ache in your chest that you can't quite reach. He's really at the top of his slasher game with this book, and his love for the genre shines through with every word.

I really want to become an Author PA, but I don’t know where to begin.

Should I take a course?
Should I offer my services on a trial basis to build rapport?
What should I be charging if anything?
Should I put any $ into further education?

There’s just so much I do not know!!
#booksky pls help 😭

I was so so fortunate to snag all these goodies!! I am collecting these wax melts like Pokémon cards, with the same intention. Never to use them as I could lose them 😂. I just occasionally walk by and stare/sniff them 🙈.
