First photoshoot in over two years! I was inspired to create a submission for an upcoming online gala event about opulent masks. I crafted the mask out of polymer clay & tack nails, & painted it gold. I cannot stress enough how much I love creating props for my photoshoots!
My very beautiful fiancée Iris, who has never modeled before, absolutely nailed it (tack nail pun intended lol) and I could not be prouder of her!

I love when I learn a new word through reading - or better yet, through editing, as with this one, and isn't it a beauty?

coquelicot: French for "poppy"; also used in English as a color name, the shade of red of wild corn poppies. In French it derives from "cry of the rooster," and is pronounced "KOHK-li-koh" - the sound a rooster makes. It was so named because the flower and the rooster's comb are a similar color.

Me: Ahh, spoken like someone who wants me to name a backstabbing jackass character after them in my next novel.

New: audiobook edition of Sage and King, my #merthur-with-the-serial-numbers-filed-off m/m romance!

Downside: it's AI-narrated. That's because we did not get a sweet rights-buying offer from any proper audio narration company, and we're small-press and have no budget. But it is probably better than not having an audiobook edition at all, esp. for readers with vision impairment.

And to judge from the sample, it's better than I expected from AI. See what you think.
