“Luci? You’ve given him a nickname?” Beelzebub snarled at her, and before she could process that he had moved, his hands were wrapped around her arms in a death grip.
Mina’s bottom lip trembled. Despite her trepidation, she met his gaze. #ParanormalRomance #Romance

I got some artwork commissioned by @debanneart.bsky.social, & it is beyond perfect. Should I tie the reveal to a milestone? I've currently sold 60 copies of The Little Death. Art reveal at 69 copies??? Can I wait that long??!?

My classic Blue and Green nebula cloud art that I created in procreate. It covers the top 3/4ths of a grayscale drawing, only revealing the lower legs and feet of several people. I can tell you Mina and Lucifer are featured in the group, and the artist is @debanne_art.

Beelzebub’s face reddened and his eyes dilated as he leaned down and sniffed her hair.
“What are you doing?” Mina asked.
“Maybe I should remind you of what we are,” Beelzebub said.

Luci and Bellz have an interesting dynamic. They are so very similar that most of the time they're great friends, but sometimes that means their competing for the same things.

Here they are putting their similarities to good use. Art by @debanneart.bsky.social

I used a crop of the cuddle character art that @Debanne_art created for me to just show Luci and Mina and placed it over a nebula cloud background of blue and green. This one is a little darker than some of my others. Text reads: Lucifer & Mina in The Little Death. There's an excerpt below the artwork that reads: “What should I expect from your friends?” “Well, they’re demons, obviously.” “Obviously.” “And as such, they are all definitely going to want to f**k you. I mean, they would want to f**k you if you were just a regular old human. But you’re Mina, so they’ll probably want to f**k you more than once.” The cover art for The Little Death by Susan Beth Cole. 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. It’s truly gorgeous artwork by the very talented Meowlayn.

The Little Death, The Quickening, & The Cataclysm are available now in eBook and Paperback or on Kobo Plus. Lilith and Alastor's novella coming soon. Leadville zombie romance in 2027, maybe?

Over a black sky with stars and a grey nebula cloud, text reads, “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I Demolished Your Office Cuz I have the Hots for You.” A portion of the cuddle artwork debanne_art created for me is shown. Lilith rests her head on Alastor’s chest. His arm is tucked behind his head. Lilith is holding Mina’s hand, but Mina has been cut out of this picture. The full pic is gorgeous and up on my profile. Over a photograph of Mount Massive outside of Leadville, Colorado (taken by my parents), a bunch of hearts sit and text reads, “Violets are Blue, Zombies are Dead, I’m so Glad that We Found Love in this City of Lead.” The hearts disappear and the text shifts to “MMF Horror Romance Coming Next Year? Maybe?” This trend of writing bad Valentine’s day poetry takes me back to my high school newspaper days and all the bad horoscopes we wrote. A close up of the cover art by Meowlayn of Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes. She straddles him as he holds her up, his black wings spread and the stars behind them. A close up of Dahlia with Oscar on his knees before her. A close up of Tabitha pressing a kiss to Gabriel’s cheek as the portraits of War, Death, and Infertility hang in the sky above them. Text reads, “Roses are red. Violets are blue. Come play in our world. You’ll love it here too.” The reel ends with the full covers of TLD, TQ, and TC appearing along with a blue and green heart snuggled together.

The night sky hovers over a field of lava as the cover of The Little Death sits at a jaunty angle, the corner of it clipping onto the next slide. 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. It’s truly gorgeous artwork by the very talented Meowlayn. Text reads, "Explore The Paradise Ours World" The night sky hovers over a field of lava. A green and blue planchette is only partially on this slide, attaching it to the next. The synopsis for TLD is shared. Mina never expected that appeasing her mother by attending a singles cruise would upend her almost perfect life so completely, but after a somewhat-fatal tumble over the railing of a yacht, she finds herself in Hell confronted by none other than Satan himself, who claims to be her soulmate. Lucifer is happy enough to prove his love for her–body, heart, and soul. The flashbacks of their past lifetimes together are also pretty convincing. He’s nothing like she expected of the Prince of Hell. He’s kind and considerate, and he puts her wishes first. Now, she faces an impossible choice. To stay in Hell, she must leave her loving family behind. If she chooses to return to her family, she’ll have to live the rest of her life without Lucifer. But Mina has never been one to walk the path most trodden. She’s more than willing to carve out the future she desires most. She’ll have to challenge the will of God, face off against demons, and accept all of her darkest longings to seize her happily ever after. The night sky hovers over a field of lava. A black and white art piece of Beelzebub, Lucifer, Mina, Sindy, Alastor, and Lilith in a naked cuddle by @debanne_art. Bellz, Luci, and Mina spoon. You can catch a glimpse of Luci’s tail and one of Bellz’ horns. Mina and Lilith are holding hands while Lilith’s head rests on Alastor’s chest. Sindy is settled between his legs, her head on Mina’s hip. An excerpt is shared. Mina felt content, safe, and warm, and she knew she’d never feel quite this way again. She clutched the arm Luci had draped over her. “I love you, Luci. I love you all,” she mumbled as sleepiness took her. The steady rise and fall of Alastor’s chest and Luci’s breath on her shoulder lulled her into deep sleep.

Bookish art appreciation post! @meowlayn.bsky.social and @debanneart.bsky.social have done such a fantastic job of brining my characters to life!

I've also included some cartoon art that I drew just for fun.

I want to see your #BookArt, too!

An excerpt is shared. “If you are infallible, then why does my heart ache at the sight of this place?” Mina interrupted, gesturing to those in pain around her. “Excuse me?” God said, eyes wild. “Well, if that’s how you feel about it, you can just stay down here until you see the wisdom in my design.” “What?” Mina asked. “My family—” “I don’t care,” God said. “Lucifer, you just got another soul.” “Her? She doesn’t belong down here, God, and you know it,” Lucifer said. A black and white art piece of Beelzebub, Lucifer, Mina, Sindy, Alastor, and Lilith in a naked cuddle by @debanne_art.

A blue and green nebula cloud background, but with extra green for Alastor, acts as a background. The close up of black and white art by Debanne_Art highlights Luci, Mina, and Alastor, although you can see glimpses of Bellz and Lilith too. Text reads: "Lucifer, Mina, and Alastor in The Little Death. “Isn’t there some rule about not eating food in the underworld?” Mina asked as Luci offered her a strawberry. “I’m pretty sure that’s how Hades tricked Persephone.” “I would never trick you,” Luci said. “That’s a laugh,” Alastor said. “You trick her all the time.” “Not about something as important as this,” Luci said. “Wherever you decide to stay, I’m behind you.” Mina used her lips to take the strawberry from Luci’s fingers, flicking her tongue out against him briefly as she did. She saw his eyes spark, and he growled just loud enough for her to hear.
