(100% NoAI, photocopy paper, colored pens, colored pencils and a bit of marker)

An image is worth a thousand words they say. Okay, okay, not really. Though 2024 wasn't a great year for me, it was still much better than others. Out of the top of my head, 2022 was much worse for me. Yet I still thought it funny to make the characters of my steamy paranormal romance saga Forbidden: A Steamy Paranormal Romance do this.

Today the last book of my steamy paranormal romance saga Forbidden's first arc, is coming out!
You can read this whole epic romance with lots of sweetness and steam in Kindle Unlimited!

Writing this epic, epic, epic romance was amazing. I loved every minute of it. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Only two days until the last novel of Lei and Sween's Legend is released! This is some future Amazon A+ Content for my sixth paranormal romance novel, Forbidden: Reincarnation Days , and illustration for the prologue of the most dangerous sex scene in the whole story.

Sween is getting cuddly after an intense day and wants to make love... But after a vigorous make out, what do hungry vampires do?

100% NoAI, I made this on drawing paper with colored pencils and pens. I used the cheapie stuff in here, except Pablos for Sween's skin and difumination.

A future Amazon A+ Content for my last paranormal romance novel, Forbidden: Apocalypse Days. It's Sween and Astaroth being silly and carefree, the way they like it when they can.

I created this when I saw the prompt, "Two very chaotic people creating more chaos". Will not say much more because of spoilers.

100% NoAi, I drew this on common photocopy paper with colored pencils.

Only 12 days until the last novel of Lei and Sween's Legend comes out! Forbidden: Apocalypse Days Another pretty pin-up of Lei Synge-Sturmmond made by AI in Vaporwave.

Only 20 days until the last novel of Lei and Sween's Legend comes out! Forbidden: Apocalypse Days And here's a pretty pin-up pic of Lei Synge-Sturmmond made by AI. I actually retouched his face and skin color so he looks more like my original design (still too dark though).

Romantic Scene 1: Take It All Off

My first try at drawing Roald, Sween's archnemesis from , and .

I have thought long and hard whether to make Roald one of the heroes in the next Forbidden arcs, and since I haven't decided yet, I'm not going to work farther in his details at the moment. This picture didn't quite come out the way I wanted, especially the eyes. I have thought of light blue eyes at first, but then I thought eerie, lavender eyes would make him more otherworldly. You can also see he has a faint white aura. He looks humanoid but not fully human, which is what I wanted. He also dresses in white all the time, making him even more disturbing.

The cover for the last book of Lei and Sween's Legend from my Forbidden series... It's Lei and the angels. Even though I created it, I am impressed at the sight.

And it's done. I wrote a 700,000 words saga of paranormal romance! Ohmigod! I am so, so, SO proud of this work that took me ten years to write! And this book came out splendidly--a fitting climax for such a crazily passionate story...! And a bit more kinky than I thought at first. Or a lot.

I waited some time from the release of my fifth novel Revelation Days to post this picture that is a bit of a small spoiler. Yes, Lei was one of the Heaven Knights in a past life. He was taken in at age 17, so this is the way he might have looked at the beginning. There is a lot more to that past life in my new novel Forbidden: Reincarnation Days, so stay tuned!


I'm never going to use AI for my pics, but since deviantArt is giving away some tries, I thought I would have some fun with it.
