So the ending of Hymn of Memory by @earlronove.bsky.social hit me like a freight train and I need to lay down and scream and dance and cry and eat ice cream about it.

Yeah, I write for myself. But I also write because I want to hopefully one day give someone the same feeling I have when reading Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, Berserk, One Piece. Things that give me life. Even just giving a fraction of that feeling to someone else would be worth it.

Last but not least in my reintroductions of my work that's on sale this weekend, is my horror books!

One is more of a teen horror movie feel, the other a contemplative tale around body horror and flowers. Both with trauma!

50% off until Dec 3rd! Pick them up today!
itch.io/s/162704/bla...
A book introduction graphic featuring two books, The Devil in the Woods & summertime blossoms by S. Jean. Along the top is the banner describing both, Horror, with the subtitle of "teen movie inspired horror & slow contemplative body horror" beneath it. The covers are displayed with a line between them and on the sides of the covers are some basic tropes for the book. The Devil in the Woods' tropes read: multiple povs, small town cult, cryptid-core, disaster teens, friendships forged through trauma. summertime blossoms' tropes read: short story, flower body horror, lost dreams & what could have been, bisexual mc, regret of words unsaid. Below both books are short descriptions of each as well. The Devil in the Woods' description reads: "The Devil in the Woods is the story of disaster teens trying to debunk an urban legend of the woods in their sleepy town only to find out it might be real when one of them disappears in the dark." summertime blossoms' description reads: "summertime blossoms is the contemplative story of a young man whose best friend (and the one that got away) turns suddenly into roses."

this guy insisted again I remind you how many days are left before BE NOT AFRAID comes out. He's a little scary... he might even be back tomorrow! 👁️

Countdown graphic for BE NOT AFRAID. The seraph character stands staring creepily at the viewer, holding a copy of Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. His wings spread out behind him, one eyeball showing beneath the feathers. His grin is full of sharp teeth and blood trails down his chin. A word bubble from him reads: "PREORDER MY BOOK". Along the bottom of the image is more text that reads: "9 days remain" and a URL for where to find the book: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid Writing snippet graphic for BE NOT AFRAID with a URL for preorders at the bottom (books.earlronove.com/benotafraid). The snippet reads: "An angel screeched and grabbed his legs, but as he turned to kick them off, the lead pipe broke through both of the angel’s arms. Another spray of blood doused Trent’s would-be savior. A pair of glowing eyes, glittering bright with too many colors to name, met Trent’s. Except fuck if he was going to trust them. Those were wings. Fuck trusting angels."

Of course he fucking did. He had to pick his jaw off the goddamned ground. The light flickered again and then the other four were looking at him. Their eyelids had peeled back, revealing wide milky-white eyes that glowed. Their mouths slowly split into grins, lips thinned to show mouths of too many teeth."

Since I write a few different genres, I'm re-introducing my books w/ their genre buddies. First up is my contemporary fantasy.

Morgan & Asher are complete opposites, but their stories share the same "it's my life and I'm making it mine" theme.

On sale at itchio, 50% off!

A book introduction graphic featuring two books, Hymn of Memory and Errant Wings by S. Jean. Along the top is the banner describing both, Contemporary Fantasy, with the subtitle of "contemporary stories with fantasy flavors" beneath it. The covers are displayed with a line between them and on the sides of the covers are some basic tropes for the book. Hymn of Memory tropes read: soft m/m romance, road trip, summer fairs, finding yourself, magic & the dead, remembering someone you used to know. Errant Wings' tropes read: reigniting a m/m romance, angel & devil wings, disaster punk, reclaiming yourself, finding catharsis in destruction. Below both books are short descriptions of each as well. Hymn of Memory's description reads: "HYMN OF MEMORY is the story of Morgan whose sacred duty eats away his memory. When someone he used to know reenters his life, he decides to run away from it all and to try and remember what all he's forgotten." Errant Wings' description reads: "ERRANT WINGS is the story of Asher who grows angel wings instead of the devil wings he expects, and now has to contend with his entire life in disarray and a city who wants to decide how his life is going to be from then on."

Did you know I do book reviews that anyone can read on my Patreon? Did you know that sometimes, I don't like these books at all??

And did you know that even though these book reviews are free to access, if you join for even $3/month, you get more...and I get chemo!

The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue

Don’t want to pay for a book? Ask your local library to get a copy.

Can’t do that? Many indie authors would probably send you a pdf if you were chill and asked them nicely.

I live paycheck to paycheck and I’ve never pirated a book. It’s pretty easy.
