Scarlett Vandal is having a terrible day. When 2 men start harassing her, she's rescued by a petite woman pretending to be her girlfriend. What she doesn't realize is the woman is A-list actress Darby Douglass. They enter into a tentative friendship and sapphic shenanigans ensue. #W #A #R #QuestPit

A fake magazine cover for a magazine called Mecurial it's volume 56 issue 3. On the left side of the picture is text that says Award Season: The must see movies of the 2019 season. Under that is: Darby Douglass: America's new girl next door.
On the cover is Darbiashni Do'glassio (aka Darby Douglass) she is a dark skinned Togolese woman with warm brown eyes, a purple head wrap, and lavender cami. She's been voted the most beautiful woman in the world 3 times and has multiple awards for her versatile acting style.
I used a reference photo from pexels when I was drawing this.

#LGBTQWriteAThon day 14: Trans/Queer jam WIP has a lot of support options, this is the only one with 0 spoilers haha Science/Fantasy jam WIP shows support a lot but only has a person named Support haha This beat is from a disaster zone they're clearing.

Line share: Support

The support of the statement is almost enough to get Scarlett to sob her face off, no one has been that casually supportive of her. Well no onw outside the family she found at Jazzy's.
"Sorry, did I say something wrong?" she asks.
No," Scarlett takes a deep breath and blinks back tears. "No, I'm PMSing. That's the most supportive thing a relative stranger has ever said to me."

Line share: support

Stack turns towards the kids that are still stuck with a genuine smile that softens her tough features.
“Okay kids, I know this is scary but it’s my job to help you, we’re gonna help.”
“Are you really the Brigade?” a small girl with obsidian skin and a shock of curls asks.
Stack nods and winks with her good eye. “Lieutenant Colonel Stack, I am the brigade, kiddo.”
“No way! Are you the one who saved Elbaite from the blizzard?” a young boy with straw-colored hair and vibrant sapphire eyes asks.
Stack nods. “We’ll have storytime when we get back to GimmeSome, promise.”
“Storytime is the best! Pull makes cookies, and Sparrow makes cider, it’s good,” Tear offers with a timid smile, fidgeting with her shirt sleeve trying to reattach her prosthetic arm.

#LGBTQWriteAThon day 12 catch-up: Trans/Queer jam WIP: Scarlett is a trans lesbian & Darbiashni is a demisexual lesbian. There are a ton of trans side characters too. Science/Fantasy jam WIP: I feel like it's easier to say which letters of our alphabet soup aren't represented 😂 It's queernormative

Trans pride flag, lesbian pride flag, demisexual pride flag. A pink skull with spiky hair, a film camera, and a pair of boots.

There's pretty much every pride flag out there on this lol plus a wee tornado.

#LGBTQWriteAThon 7 cont: Science Fantasy jam WIP: Stack & Push have one of those healthy loving lesbian relationships that makes you 😍 But this beat w/ side characters Grip & Cut is a fave. This is from my disaster draft it hasn't been through edits or sensitivity/authenticity reads disclaimer. 2/2

Shannon (S_Massey, twitter & discord)@smassey· Jun 7

#LGBTQWriteAThon day 7: I ❤️‍🔥 line share days & reading everyone's words! Trans/queer jam WIP: I can't share my fave line bc spoilers 🤦‍♀️ Instead here's the meet cute! I'm still writing my disaster draft so its pretty rough & hasn't been through any sensitivity/authenticity readers yet disclaimer. 1/2

“Hello darling!” a genuinely stunning black woman w/ a cool accent, beautiful hair wrap, & effortless style comes up & kisses her. Her plump full lips are as soft as velvet, delicate obsidian hands rest on Scarlett’s round freckled cheeks. She smiles warmly as if they’ve known each other a lifetime. Then turns to the men that were assaulting Scarlett & lifts her sunglasses. “You boys aren’t giving my girl a hard time are you?” she asks.
How odd that a petite stunning woman has them backing off so fast. “Whoa, no way… Sorry, Miss Douglass, we good, we were just fuckin’ around w/ her. Can I get a selfie w/ you?”
The woman snakes her arm around Scarlett’s hips, face scrunching in a rather endearing glower.
“You were just being rather shitty to my girlfriend—” she hedges.
Asshole #1 looks at Scarlett & actually appears apologetic. “Sorry, we were just fucking around, you good?”
Scarlett’s finally found her punk power. She puts her arm around the other woman’s shoulders leaning into her. “Apology accepted,” she says to him before turning her attention to her knight. “Sorry, I don’t think there’s time. I need to get to my studio, I have those massive deadlines this week for my exhibition & I’m already running late.”
The other woman shakes her head & facepalms, as if she’d forgotten. “That’s right, I’m so sorry I forgot, darling.” She smiles apologetically at the assholes as their bus pulls up. “Looks like your ride is here anyways. Have a good rest of your day, try to be kinder.”
She turns as if she knows exactly where they’re going & walks away. The other woman readjusts her fancy sunglasses slipping them back down over her rich brown eyes.
“Oh shit, thanks for the save—” she pauses waiting for the other woman to give her name. The shock on the woman’s face at Scarlett's pause seems strange.
Scarlett smirks. “I know I’m wearing my psychic lesbian witch shirt but I’m not actually psychic, I’m sorry I don’t know your name?”
The other woman recovers w/ a warm smile.

I removed my books from Amazon/KU after they refused to respond to requests to remove Ask This Book. Hopefully, if enough people jump ship we can get them to at the very least add a toggle so we can choose if we take part. That's my biggest issue; they didnt ask for our consent just rolled it out.

The background looks like a standard cardboard box. In each of the upper corners are hands with their middle fingers raised. The bottom corners are No AI graphics. The center says Bye amazon.

Z is a fantastic artist and friend ❤️‍🔥 They did the cover art for Remy Bake It Up To You :)

Book cover for Remy Bake It Up To You. The title is in dark red cursive towards the top of the picture with my name on the bottom. A black woman (Amelia) with natural hair smiles warmly lifting a red mug of coffee. A multiracial woman (Remy) with curly hair sits next to her with a contemplative look on her face casually holding her own mug. They're both wearing comfortable clothes and have a blanket wrapped around their shoulders.

I'm taking part in @monstermanorbooks.bsky.social #HotWetQueerSummerJam. Today's the #HotWetPitStop we're halfway through the jam🤗 I'm reworking the third act now, then moving into edits/revisions/sensitivity reads. I'd love to adapt this eventually bc this dreamcast would be a blast to work with 😍

The background of the image is a cement slab with a pretty mug of coffee. White text reads: Two Latinx people in wheelchairs roll into the shop taking in the space like a couple of sapphic heart eye emojis. Jay gets it, she felt the same way her first time here. “Oh my god it’s like we fell into a Lily Seabrooke novel, I’m never leaving.”
The other laughs with a cute sigh. “I know, right? There are so many hot queer people.”

Towards the bottom of the background is the text: Easter Egg from my Hot Wet Queer Summer Jam project" followed by a lesbian pride heart.

Snippet from Remy Bake It Up To You. Ebook & paperback available now.

There are two radio stations to choose from: one that rages on hellfire and brimstone, the other obnoxiously twangy with grown men crying about their trucks and dogs. With no phone service, she can’t play Tidal, she should have upgraded to premium. She’s building a new playlist that’s almost as good as her ‘fancy a shag?’ list. American women love it and think she’s so clever. If only she could meet someone, anyone, that sees through her nonsense and calls her on it.

The snow grows heavier, causing the road to become increasingly difficult to see and stay on. Remy wrestles with the steering wheel of the car as it careens along the road. Snow piles up, trying to push the car back and hold it where it rolls.

When a blizzard strands Remy, the Bad Girl of British Baking, with Dr. Amelia Haskins, a well respected Psychiatrist, it looks like a recipe for disaster. But as the snow piles up and Remy lets her guard down they may find they have the right ingredients after all. Hitting shelves Friday (29/11) 😊🧁

A book trope map with cloud shapes in the color of the lesbian pride flag. Tropes include: Sapphic Shenanigans, forced proximity, opposites attract, platonic love, only one flour fort, and coffee, pie, and cuddling. Centered is the books cover which has Remy and Amelia sitting at a diner counter with coffee mugs. Amelia is black with corkscrew curls and is grinning. Remy is multiracial (Black, Indian, and white) with a slight smirk and wavy hair.
