New Beauty and the Beast Novel!

It’s almost finished! So if you’re still looking for a new read and want some adorable merch, this is the time!

Some nifty stuff about the project:

The Henlo Press is a women-owned and operated independent publishing company that operates out of the Kentucky/ West Virginia/ Ohio tri-state area.

Valtinen Erik Karille (he/him) is an intersex, genderfluid, transgender artist and performer who unashamedly runs around in horns and 1780s-inspired fashion.

Thief of Roses is a (romantic fantasy? We call it “fluffy dark”) Beauty and the Beast retelling that features a limited but all-PoC cast of characters, intersex and genderfluid representation, and an LGBT+ inclusive world

EIGHT MORE DAYS TO GO!

My debut novel, a Beauty and the Beast retelling, is happening (thank you, Henlo Press)! Right now, the publisher is running a Kickstarter for awesome Beasty merch and there are ONLY 8 days left. Plushies, pins, metal rose bookmarks, and their first HARDCOVER option ever.

Go help a beast out.

Everyone, I want to show off this super cute baby by NerdileArt. This baby is my beastly protagonist (rendered in cuteness, of course).

Right now, you can get this baby in pin and/or plush form with the publisher’s Kickstarter for my book. Its release is set for Feb 7, 2023 (National Rose Day).

I wrote a novel - a Beauty and the Beast retelling - that The Henlo Press liked enough to publish!

They’re running a Kickstarter for pins, plushies, and format options that’s live NOW. And, omgs, the designs are the cutest.

We did it! We hit it in under 24hrs! We’re going to add stretch goals now because all additional pledges still sells books, continues to show the publisher that I’m profitable, and will allow me to do events.

One of the sketch requests, this time for @graveglamour​ ! He requested a drawing of himself in his “Beastie mode” (he has some amazing outfits and the Beast one is one among many)! I figured I’d continue the pattern of floating words, so this time it’s a quote from the original fairytale by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. :’D
