My weekend read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Merman's Delight by @skynightshade.bsky.social

This is a sweet, sumptuous, spicy, queer romance between a merman and a human lighthouse keeper
🧜‍♂️🌊🥚🫦

Really enjoyed this. It was just the right length to devour over my weekend.
💙📚🌈 #lgbt #fantasy #books #merman #Achillean
Book trope map. Book cover is Merman's Delight by Skyler Nightshade. The cover shows a pretty blue tailed merman with dark hair holding onto a human man, face out of shot. The merman looks to camera and is reminiscent of that classical hot angel Lucifer painting. The tropes around the book say weekend read 5 stars. Fantasy. Sweet and sexy. Merman/Human. Queer.

I have some wonderful character art of the leads, Arthur and Harun, to come! Can't wait to share it very soon, and talk about their professional roles more.

Jingle Jingle K🧨LL is now available to preorder

Black and white graphic image, half and half. White top half says "the Romeo agent" showing two martini glasses, a notepad with a UK flag (but not in a weird way!) with the name Arthur Romeo. The bottom half in black says "the Sleeper agent", bullet holes scattered across, a notepad with a Turkish flag says the name Harun.

We also see more of Special Agent Dinah 💅🏾 who is one of my faves to write!

These are the wardrobe picspiration boards I made for Di.

Readers will remember her briefly from Specimen, she's the agent who met David on the airfield and handed him a welcome pack. She's always impeccably dressed!
3 panel montage showing classic 90s and modern classic inspired fashions for young Black super models, suits and businesswear, plus a leather biker inspired jacket. 4 square panel inspiration board showing more fashion for Black women super models. Business wear, boss lady, runway coats, winter coats, tailored and impeccable taste.

Q: Is it connected to Specimen?

A: No, it is a standalone book with brand new leads, but it's set in the same 'verse, with a few of the same supporting characters appearing.

In Jingle Jingle we see a younger Shepherd 💅🏻 working with a younger Arthur.

Inspiration pics for Shepherd circa 1999/2000.
Picspiration board showing pretty young blonde actresses. 3 are a Bond villain played by Rosamund Pike. The second actress is shown outside wearing a light blue headscarf to suggest she's in an Islamic country, which is how i pictured a young Shepherd going about her spy business overseas.

First time in weeks I've had a chance to write.

Opens laptop.

Laptop OS is fucked. Nothing loads.

OK fine. Close laptop. Open phone.

Write a bit on there, switch to print layout for 2 seconds to check page number.

Switch back to mobile view, text is tiny now and won't change back to normal. 😤
