It feels like The Paradise Ours series is the thing my whole life was building to.

And now that the main story is complete, I’m so thankful. I’ve figured out my process. I want to keep doing this forever. 2/2

Book three! Tabitha gets kidnapped twice in the same weekend by God's favored angel? And then she meets some really hot Horsemen of the Apocalypse who are all kind of into her and might be a little bit morality-chained?

Book Two! Dahlia is confronted by the man who fathered her child thirteen years ago & disappeared. Can she forgive him & let him back into her life? Even if he's actually a demon? Spirit boards are a weird way to meet your soulmate.

Cover art by @meowlayn.bsky.social
I used my nebula cloud background, half purple, half brick red as a background. The cover of The Quickening has been centered. The cover has a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. Around the cover, arrows point to the book with a trope descriptor. The tropes read: Multiple love stories, forgiveness, strong family bonds, second chance romance, healing thru bed sports, a haunted house, bi/pan rep, tentacles, bondage, found family, breeding, and exhibitionism. There isn't actually an arrow for the word "tentacle" but a tentacle that I drew in procreate and I'm way too proud of.

Book One! Mina has a near-death experience that lands her in Hell. Lucifer declares they're soulmates, but she has to decide if she's finally willing to give up her family and life on earth and spend the rest of eternity with him. But maybe there's a 3rd option?

Cover art by @meowlayn.bsky.social
Centered is the cover of The Little Death—Mina straddles Lucifer as he carries her above lava. They stare into one another’s eyes. The artist, Meowlayn, did a wonderful job of capturing that loving look in Lucifer’s gaze. His wings are spread, the night sky behind them. Trope arrows point to the cover. The tropes are: She Saves Him; Multiple Lifetimes; He Falls First; Soulmates; He’ll Stop the End of the World for Her; Magical Os; Okay, He Saves Her Too; We Need a Bigger Bed; Bi/Pan Pairing; Bondage. This is all over my signature blue and green nebula cloud background.

The rest of the cover is revealed. It's at an angle over a larger version of itself. Mina straddles Lucifer as he holds her. His black wings are spread, keeping them aloft above lava. The night sky is behind them. Luci is wearing all black. Mina is wearing a blue dress that flows behind her. The corner of The Quickening is peeking over. The rest of the cover of The Quickening is revealed. Also over a larger version of itself. There is a purple sky that fades into a reddish tint closer to the horizon. Mountains line the background, with jagged rocks and lava. There are spirits being released into the sky and all around where Dahlia, with auburn hair, blue eyes, and freckles, stands above Oscar, one leg up and bent, her hip cocked at an angle. She holds his cowboy hat, her other hand cups the back of his head. He’s on his knees before her, one had clasped on her thigh, the other holding her waist. She’s in a blazer and matching skirt with a light purple blouse. He’s wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. His feet are bare. The back corner of The Cataclysm is teasing us this time. The rest of the cover of The Cataclysm appears on this slide over a larger version of itself. Tabitha stands on tip-toe to press a kiss to Gabriel's cheek. The angel grips her in return, their gold and magenta wings flung wide. Lava and rock lay at their feet. The night sky is beyond them. Suspended above them are the portraits of War, Death, and Infertility. All three covers are shown. They lay on top of each other at odd angles. Text reads, "Read All Three Now"

A close up of Dahlia and Oscar from the cover of The Quickening, artwork by the talented Meowlayn. Dahlia has auburn hair, freckles, and blue eyes. She is peering down at her love interest and is wearing a blouse and blazer. Oscar has red eyes and brown hair. Dahlia cups the back of his head. His hand is around her waist, the other on her thigh. She loosely holds his cowboy hat. He is wearing a black shirt. There is a rock formation behind him and a few scattered stars in the purple and reddish sky behind him. Text reads, "Irredeemable Demons." Then an excerpt reads: “Why does that terrify me? They can’t kill him, Oscar.” “They absolutely can kill him,” he replied. Anger laced his words. “Well, for one thing, our daughter is watching. Secondly, I don’t fucking know, but I feel like he’s ours.” She used the window ledge to pull herself up. “To kill?” Oscar followed her to standing. “I can get behind that.” “No. Ours,” Dahlia said, “our responsibility. His pain is ours to soothe.” It's been redacted in the text, but I've given you the non-redacted version here. A close up of the cover of Cataclysm. It highlights Tabitha and her lovers, Gabriel, War, Death, and Infertility. Gabriel’s eyes glow, popping against her black skin. They wear a halo that shines, complementing their magenta hair. Their armor is covered in glowing circles reminiscent of eyes. Tabitha is wearing fishnet stocks, boots, a skirt, and top that shows off her midriff. Her clothing is lined with purple. War’s hair has been pulled back into a ponytail. He has warm brown skin, a strong nose and jawline. Death has fangs and pale skin. His black hair appears bluish here. Infertility’s hair transitions from baby pink to baby blue. Text reads, "Closed Door." Then an excerpt reads: “That was amazing,” Tabitha said when she could speak again. “You can thank me,” Gabriel said while placing her back on her feet, “by squatting over the toe of Death’s shoe. I want you to ruin the perfect shine of it with your pussy juices. Keep yourself primed for me, but do not come.” The picture is redacted, but I've given you the non-redacted version here.
