Illustrated cover of WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS by S. Jean. In the center are two men standing back to back. The short of the two, Ambrose, has fair skin, red hair, glasses, and one green eyes and one glowing hazel eye. He is wearing an open button-up with an undershirt beneath it. In his hands are an open book and a potion bottle with red liquid inside. He is glancing back at the man behind him. The taller of the two, Renwick, has fair skin, dark brown feathered hair, and green eyes. He also has pointed ears, like an elf. He is wearing a dark vest over a dark shirt. In his raised hand are a bundle of daisies. While Ambrose looks unamused, Renwick has a coy smile on his lips as he gazes as Ambrose. Behind them is an open window with a golden glow and in the foreground are more daisies. The colors are soft and give it a sort of ephemeral feel. Along the top is a tagline that reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." and below is the release date, JULY 28th, 2026.
A blurb graphic for When Yesterday Ends. The blurb reads: Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life. At least, Ambrose Howl hopes so after his life falls apart. The townβs got everything he needs: a general store carrying his favorite cigarettes, a library he could get lost in, and a hedge witch who immediately befriends him. He settles in as an herbalist, using the knowledge heβd gained from academia that heβd left behind, and for once in his life, he feels like he could be content. Itβs not so bad living in some rural, far-flung town. Until heβs visited and kidnapped by the skeleton valet of Renwick Frey, a fey lord living in hiding who is cursed to eat human hearts every five summers to remain alive. As his next victim, Ambrose saves himself by making the desperate claim of knowing how to break curses. Renwick is charmed enough to let him try, but if Ambrose canβt break the curse by summerβs end, then his heart is forfeit. The problem? Heβs never broken a curse in his life, and given the mysterious circumstances of this one, he might even die before summer ends.

same! I feel like in part itβs because if I do a terrible job I could theoretically go βsorry about that, and also I have no relation whatsoever to Nolita Villanuevaβ and then peace out of there immediately
At some point I hope to have both
a) enough poems about fae to make a collection of them
and
b) the courage to share them
I recently released a poem game about a changeling and the home she refuses to leave for #48WordRPGJam!

a graphic for Wherever the Stars Call. The main focus is the two leads, Laurel and Juniper, as they stand back to back looking skyward against a backdrop of stars. The short description of the book beside them reads: Sometimes, you have to go on a space adventure with your BFF in a stolen cruiser, befriend a revenge seeking vampire on the way, and become an absolute problem for the federation... That's what best friends do, right?" Below the text is a small graphic of the book in paperback form and in ebook form on a small phone. Below that is a URL where to find your copy: books.earlronove.com/whereverthestarscall
When I wrote WHEREVER THE STARS CALL, my main focus was the friendship between Laurel & Juniper. At the time, it felt like there wasn't enough friendship stories, & I wanted to change that.
But now they're in a bundle with a bunch of friendship stories! π 37 books for $35!

This is art from 2023 of Morgan from Hymn of Memory, but I have it as a little pin stuck to my bulletin board at work and it always makes me smile.
