In other news, currently writing a silly little ace book—not to confuse with my main WIP, that’s also ace.

Will probably annoy the poor people who follow me here with updates about that in 2026.

Have some art of the main OCs till then.

Inspired by beauty and the beast. “You’re just….” I sighed, trying to find the word. “Spectacular? Amazing? Incredible?” Curvy plus size heroine. Disabled hero. Asexual romance.

Remember that one character I shared art of months ago? Have more pride art of her. Still working on that WIP. Will hold back from saying more about it till the first draft is (close to) done.
Anyways, this is Kyra.

I now have an itch.io page! And I am humbly recommending that you start with my book Unbury the Bones as it is free (and hella gay) <3 🌈📚

When a book claims to be trope x just for you to discover 40% in that it *gasp* lied and is - in fact - NOT trope x at all :)

11 days to go! The Stage is Set is a fun and flirty sapphic romantasy with a sprinkling of spice. Comments from ARCers are coming in and I love hearing what they think of the twists. This story is packed with excitement and romance, I can't wait for the debut on the 15th! ⭐

NEW BOOK ALERT 🥹

Happy Ace Week; here's a gift 😂

UNTIL THE LAST PETAL FALLS is my cosy, queerplatonic retelling of Beauty & the Beast, ft. two aroace protagonists, the tiniest found family, a whole lot of platonic yearning, and a queerplatonic HEA 🥹

On Kindle Unlimited! Link in bio/replies 🫶🏾
The book cover for UNTIL THE LAST PETAL FALLS by Viano Oniomoh. On a plain navy blue background with the faint pattern of golden roses, bright red roses are bursting out of an oval golden frame. Within the roses is a young Black man in an intimate embrace with a horned man with dark, scaled skin. The subtitle at the top of the image reads: A cosy queerplatonic retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The title is written in a wavy fantasy font, with the author name at the bottom. Link in bio! 💖

It's not to late for a good old Halloween/Horror rec, right? Especially since this TOTALLY isn't an excuse to recommend you books off slash by my fav author. (✿◡‿◡)

It's always nice when you pick up a book and know - just KNOW - that it's gonna be a 5 star way before you're halfway through. Cause that's how Im currently feeling about "The Crows" by C.M. Rosens 🌈📚💙
