• info on the coloring book
• update on the campaign's progress
• update on the trivia campaign
• various campaigns to check out
• backer-only excerpt

Laid out and designed by yours truly using artwork in Canva, this coloring book features Jonas...aka THE BEAR and Ivy...in her true form. There's also an adorable image of the two of them kissing (safe for work) at the end.

Here's a sneak peek at one of the pages.


The coloring pages are a mix of hand-drawn illustrations and vectors designed by graphic artists, with no AI, as far as I can tell, each selected from Canva, laid out by me.

I love how it turned out and I hope you will, too!

It will be delivered digitally, likely via Google Drive, once the campaign ends and funds are collected. All you have to do to get yours is back the campaign this week!



Where we stand so far:

We're so close to hitting $5500 and $6000 is in reach. I've teamed up with Blue Raven Book Covers if we hit that $6000 mark and she is amazing.



As a treat to my backers, I've got a snippet posted below. It offers a bit of insight into what is emerging as Ivy's story progresses. But it might not help much with the trivia. It might. But...it might not. Remember, I told you I was tricky.



If you haven't started participating in the trivia challenge, don't forget! Links below and look for the next question either today or tomorrow!

About the trivia contest:

 I want to give you a chance to guess at Ivy’s heritage. We’re going to play some trivia…but FYI, I’m tricky. Some answers will be tricky. Sometimes the answer won’t be there. Sometimes, multiple answers will be correct…but only one will apply to Ivy.

To make it fun, though, what I’m looking for is participation. Whether you get it right or not, backers of physical tiers who participate and answer 80% or more of the questions will receive a small bonus, handmade prize, something unique to Ivy’s heritage.

Cool Campaigns to Check Out:


Y'all, I have been reading Mercedes Lackey since I was in middle school-Tarma and Kethry were where I started learning world-building, so if you've enjoyed my paranormal books, my romantic fantasies or my UF books, you can thank Mercedes Lackey in part because she is where I first learned to really love fantasy.

This epic anthology is going to be amazing.



The cover of this one is gorgeous and I love the description of the story. It's also available to back as an ebook!

It's time for another trivia question!

Heya, folks! Time for another trivia question. By participating in 80% or more of the questions, you'll win a cool prize. And you don't even have to guess right! It's only fair, since I'm looking to be as sneaky as possible.

I'm going to over a tiny bit of insight. Don't assume I stick only to western folklore and mythology when researching and world-building. The world is a big, wide place after all and eastern mythology predates western by...well, millennia in some areas.



Just a reminder for those tuning in, here's what's happening:

I want to give you a chance to guess at Ivy’s heritage. We’re going to play some trivia…but FYI, I’m tricky. Some answers will be tricky. Sometimes the answer won’t be there. Sometimes, multiple answers will be correct…but only one will apply to Ivy.

To make it fun, though, what I’m looking for is participation. Whether you get it right or not, backers of physical tiers who participate and answer 80% or more of the questions will receive a small bonus, handmade prize, something unique to Ivy’s heritage.

Let's Play a Game...and everybody can win a prize.

And let’s go! Take a guess...first round:

Choose your team! We are going to play a game...and all of you can win a prize!
2 months ago – Sun, Sep 08, 2024 at 03:26:23 PM

And it's a game where nobody loses...unless you just don't play.

There will be a series of questions and as long as you participate in 80% of the questions, you'll get a prize, a little symbol of Ivy's heritage, to be mailed out with your rewards when it's time.

The questions will be posted in the polls...but be warned. As the poll progressed, people might figure out Ivy's secret.

If you don't want to have the secret spoiled...well, I guess you shouldn't play. However, there are layers to her secrets. Like ogres and onions. Cakes and parfaits. Yes, that's a Shrek reference. And some of that secret, you will never guess without reading the story.

Now...pick your team!

FYI, team names don't indicate *anything* at this point other than that's just the name you like, although, you will see this list again.

Wanna meet Jonas?

My artist Kmochi is amazing 🤩

This is one of the illustrations that will be in the book.

It will also be used for vellum art. If you have ordered the two or three pack, you will receive this! You don't need to do anything extra!

He's amazing, isn't he? I was thrilled! 

I'll have one or two of them together, including more intimate scenes, kissing, probably one NSFW image and maybe a couple of their friends, including Liam, Ivy's best friend, who you haven't met & their partner!
