Surprise Re-Release

Months ago I decided to revisit my short story By Your Side, because I wanted to add content but also edit and expand some of the scenes that were already there. After months of work, we finally have a new edition!

Pillow Forts and Hurricanes is out now!

Since the story changed a bit I decided to change the title (not the cover, because I loved it too much), and I also made it the first book of a series of interconnected standalones, all of which will be with queer rep (obviously) and disability rep!

I will leave the book on Kindle Unlimited for a few months to make it accessible for “free” for all the people who have the subscription, who already read the previous version and want to read the new one without having to pay.

I might leave it for longer depending on how well it does.

Once this period of time is over, the ebook will be published wide like all of my other books are, which means that it will later appear on other platforms as well, like Kobo, Apple books, etc. I will make sure to announce on my socials when the book goes wide so that you don’t miss it

The paperback, however, will have wide distribution right away, which means it'll eventually also show up on other online shops likes Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, etc... It'll take a couple of weeks for the book to load there as well, but I'll make sure to update the masterlink of shops any time it loads somewhere new.

If in the past you’ve bought my book bundle from Ko-Fi, you don’t need to buy this book. I managed to switch books in the bundle, so if you access the link again you’ll be able to download Pillow Forts and Hurricanes instead of By Your Side now.

The kindle edition of By Your Side is not available to buy anymore, but I’ll leave the paperback up on amazon for one more week at least, in case people want to buy it to keep in their collections.

The two main characters of my Monster Romance Kickstarter are the audiobook and the spicy special edition of Rescuing Krampus.

The special edition is a limited time offer, only available via this campaign until September 6th. It has a NSFW cover, a bonus epilogue, signature, and prettier chapter formatting.

There's lots of other rewards too (both digital and physical), like art prints, a sapphic audiobook, signed paperbacks and an ebook bundle.

And if we go over the base goal, we can also unlock some cool stretch goals (adding the bonus epilogue to the audiobook, making the entire audiobook duet instead of dual, and commissioning more NSFW art).

You can get yourself an early present now, and you'll receive it just in time for the holidays!

Check out the kickstarter for full info.

Let's get this funded!

[robinjomargaret]

My Kickstarter is finally live!

You should look at the KS page for all the specific info and prices but here’s a quick overview in the slides.

Get this now so you can receive the rewards in time for the winter holidays!

If you aren’t interested in pledging my Kickstarter (or currently can’t afford to), it would mean the world to make if you could help me by sharing my posts on socials. It only takes a second and even just one more post shared can make a huge difference! It’s very important to get as many eyes on this as possible because it needs to get funded before the time is over.

If we go over the base goal, we can unlock some cool stretch goals as well (adding the bonus epilogue to the audiobook, making the entire audiobook duet instead of dual, and commissioning more NSFW art).

Let’s get this funded! 🔥

Surprise!

I've been working behind the scenes to organize an audiobook for Rescuing Krampus, and I finally have news to share!

I'll be running a Kickstarter to fund it, with Charlie L Wood and Patrick Brawn as my narrators!

Subscribe to the pre-launch page and you'll be notified when it goes live!

Sharing helps so much, so if you're not directly interested in buying but can still reblog this post, that would mean the world to me!

About the book:

Naomi takes a holiday to explore her newly-inherited chalet in the mountains, only to find a beast unconscious in the snowy woods. The krampus becomes her guest as Naomi nurses him back to health, and as they stay in the chalet together, they form an unlikely relationship that begins to get steamy and... complicated.

Aro Books For Pride

Something I've noticed through the years, is that straight and queer people alike often have a tendency to forget about a specific queer identity: aromanticism.

Sometimes it's misunderstood, sometimes it's confused with asexuality, and sometimes it's ignored and/or erased.

This pride month, 23 authors have come together to gather their works and offer them at a discounted price to celebrate aromantic representation from all over the spectrum.

Whether it's to read them during pride month or the rest of the year, by buying this bundle you can get yourself tons of books while also  supporting indie authors directly during a time when every little bit of support and community counts more than anything.

Get 23 books for $15, or get all 36 books for $20.

NOTE: this is a bundle that also incudes 18+ content intended for an adult audience.

If this is your first time hearing of the term aromanticism, or if you've heard about it before but are confused about what exactly it is and/or how it differs from asexuality, here's lots of cool resources (and also, my own beginner guide I made some time ago).

[robinjomargaret]

Rescuing Krampus is out now!

Resciung Krampus is out now in ebook and paperback on multiple retailers (including my own website)!

It's also my birthday, so today is definitely the best day to support me in whatever way you can!

Cover by @halfdeadsketches

NSFW art by @wulvercazz

CONTENT WARNINGS: Blood, violence, injuries, ableism, blankets of animal furs (sorry animal lovers), brief mention of smoking cigarettes (side character), explicit sexual content, a great amount of body fluids, cum play, orgasm denial/edging, knotting, abnormally long tongue used during sex, (brief) bondage, rough-ish sex, profanities, happy but still kind of bittersweet ending.

[robinjomargaret]

It’s that time of the year again! 🎉

If you’re looking for trans author to support during the trans rights readathon, I have something perfect for you!

I have gathered 40+ trans authors to create a huge sale bundle where you can get 46 books & comics for $20, or 73 books & comics for $30!!! 👀

With short stories, novels and comics, from monster romance to historical, to erotica, to horror, and much more, in this bundle you can find something for every taste.

The bundle is being hosted on itch.io, which means that all your money will go directly into the pockets of indie authors without supporting companies like Amazon! 

You can take advantage of this amazing offer and support trans creators in the process 🫶🏻

This is a bundle with 18+ content intended for an adult audience.

Note: while many of these books feature trans characters, not all of them do. The aim of this bundle is not to focus on the identities of the characters, but to support trans authors directly.

"A village being torn apart becomes the powerful break of a vicious cycle of lifelong abuse. Through the tragedy, Sister Marielle finds a safe place in one of God's Orders. That is, until she starts to question the entity she's sworn herself to."

You can read this story now on my Patreon, or you can pre-order it and wait for the public release (December 25th).

The full list of content warnings includes: religious trauma, religious fanaticism, death, brief description of corpses, destruction of village by fire, s*xual content, s*x-cult adjacent religion, blasphemy, description of past abuse (from parents and other family members), allusion to starving oneself/intermittent fasting, group s*x/0rgy, ritualistic s*x, r*pe, non-con, blood, forced pregnancy, degrading talk, talk of torture by fire and ending of the world, frequent use of the saying “children of God” but everyone involved is an adult.

Have you ever wanted to be in control of the choices of a story, without the extra effort of writing it?

Have you ever wished you could design characters and make them do what you want?

Good news, I have the perfect thing for you...

I’m planning on writing an interactive story.

What part of it will be interactive, you ask? Well, to start, you will have the chance to vote for the genre, the couple, the dynamics, the tropes, etc... Then, once I start writing the story according to the most voted choices, at the end of every chapter you will be able to comment or vote to decide where the story will go in the following chapter (and so on until the story is complete).

While the story will be written for Patreon, the first part of this process will be public to everyone, so anyone can join in sharing what they would like to see. You can vote for your choices in this form.
