Three Souls Who Break: An MMM Romance (Three Ties Book 3)

by Michelle Dare is now available!

~Synopsis~

The Family Man

Xaiden Dremest was in love once and lost that love before it could become forever. His dreams shattered. His world ended. Since then, he’s been going through the motions, but not truly living. Until two men enter his life who show him it’s okay to try again.

The Wild Card

Val Bowen knows what it’s like to take a hit, figuratively and literally. That’s in the past though. He wants to move forward, except he doesn’t know how. He’s happy with his job, his apartment, and his friends. Yet something is still missing.

The Doctor

Corbin Dove loves being a doctor, just not how much it takes over his life. He’s looking for something new. To branch out on his own, and maybe enter the dating world while he’s at it. He’s always found men attractive but never had the courage to flirt, let alone ask a man out.

Three ties to bind. Three hearts on the line.

Three souls who break trying to ease their ache.

They shouldn’t fit together. They shouldn’t work. For all the uncertainty, the struggle, when they’re together, everything is as it should be. Falling in love is inevitable.

The road they travel isn’t paved. There are no signs, no directions. With their destination in sight, they have to overcome the ghosts of their pasts and the fear in their hearts.

Three Souls Who Break is an MMM steamy contemporary romance and the final book in the Three Ties series. It features a lost ex-fighter who’s afraid of settling down, a virgin mechanic who can’t see what’s right in front of him, and a sweet doctor who’s never been with one, let alone two, men before. There is bi-awakening, an age gap, hurt/comfort, and a HEA. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed when read in order.

Content warning for descriptive violence, loss of a parent, off-page physical and mental abuse, homophobia, and homophobic language.

Matched to the Minotaur (Matchmaker Monster Romance Book 1) by Luna Joya – My Review

theliteraryvixenLeave a comment


Title: Matched to the Minotaur (Matchmaker Monster Romance Book 1)

Author: Luna Joya

Release Date: March 14th 2023

Genre: Monster Romance, Fantasy

A human, a minotaur, and the contract that binds them.

The Unsuspecting Woman

My friends surprise me with a haunted house tour to get over the ghost of my last relationship. Bring on the eerie sounds and special effects.

Except magic is real.

So is the labyrinth realm below the haunted house. And the demon who tricked me into a match with a minotaur.

Now, I’m stuck in another dimension until I can find a way out of this supernatural deal.

The Minotaur King

My labyrinth is dying.

For my kingdom to survive, I must convince my fated mate to invoke the most ancient of magics—the carnal kind.

Too bad my mate’s a human who didn’t know monsters existed until she saw me.

Will their match lead to happily ever after? Or will this beauty reject her beast?

With cow shifters, a flying demon kitten, and a dicey love of tabletop games, Matched to the Minotaur is the steamy slow burn start to the Matchmaker Monster Romance series. The books promise a happily ever after for each of the four friends who walk into a haunted house, not knowing that monsters are real. Or that they’ve been matched to the monsters inside.

What do you do when one of your favorite authors writes a different kind of romance? Read and devour it of course!

From the amazing world building to the wonderful characters to the steamy scenes, this book was highly enjoyable and unputdownable. These characters quickly captured my heart and I wanted to climb inside the book and join their crusade. Or shenanigans. Both? Yes, both.

Luna Joya’s first dip into the monster romance pool is a huge success and already has me wanting more. If this is a genre you enjoy reading, don’t wait. Check it out today! I give this 5 stars.

Special Feature – Ariel Dawn: Join The Hunt!

theliteraryvixenLeave a comment

Join The Hunt!

What do you get when you take Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and mix it with a dash of Grimm and Shadow Hunters?

Why, you get The Hunter Games by Ariel Dawn, of course!

Some of you may be familiar with Malcolm Crowley and his band of misfit hunters (including his pain in the ass sister) from the Ava Crowley, Vampire Slayer Series, and some of you may be asking who the fuck is Ava?

Well, I’m glad you asked! Ava Crowley is the perfect blend of Dean Winchester & Buffy Summers, trained by her brother Mal and his partner Jake Dallas to be a badass slayer. While she has her own series that follows her and Cassius, the vampire who saved her life, Malcolm, Jake, Tito, Hunter, and Vinny are badass slayers in their own right. When they aren’t taking down vamps and other creatures of the night, they can be found performing metal and rock covers in dive bars as the band Blood Of My Enemy. 

While the Ava Crowley, Vampire Slayer Series and The Hunter Games Series can be read together as one interconnected series, they can also be read independently of one another. Buf if you love to BINGE series in order like me, I have you covered!

You’ll want to start with Blood & Bones, Ava Crowley #1
https://books2read.com/Slayer1

Then you’ll definitely want to follow Ava & Mal to TerrorCon and  binge Blood & Lust, Ava Crowley #2
https://books2read.com/Slayer2

After that, you’ll need to follow Mal, Dallas, and the boys on a hunt in the mountains of North Carolina on a hunt in Blood Of My Enemy, The Hunter Games #1 https://books2read.com/THG1

Then the fire really starts to catch in Blood & Ash, which you should read before diving into Blood Of The Lost.
https://books2read.com/Slayer3

Then enter a world unseen- where we flip the script and follow a hunter turned monster on a journey unlike no other in Blood Of The Lost.

https://books2read.com/THG2 

Now that you know the reading order, and the gist of this addicting series, let’s get to the fun stuff!

How did you come up with the series? 

I grew up fascinated with watching shows like Supernatural, Buffy, Angel, and even Grimm. When I started writing in 2020, my second book was a vampire romance that paid homage to all of the above. It was called In The Blood, and it is still available currently as part of the Forevermore Series, which is actually the parent series to both Ava and Mal’s series. When I was writing Ava, I knew she needed a snarky, pain in the ass brother. Mal and Ava aren’t close in age, they are about eleven years apart. I am an only child, so I’ve never had siblings. The relationship between Mal and Ava is one formed out of love and trauma, as they both lost their parents and have had to endure a lot in their lives. In In The Blood, Mal isn’t the nicest brother. He’s actually a bit of an ass. But as I continued writing Ava’s books, I started to dig deeper, Mal started to really reveal himself to me, and I knew I needed to share the man beneath the mask of blood.

You mentioned fan favorite Dallas as a part of the Hunter Games Series. Does he get his own book?

Yes! When I introduced Dallas to the Ava series, I really hadn’t expected readers to fall head over heels for him. But they did! Much in the way Spike was introduced the Buffy, the writers kept him because fans loved him, I knew  as I continued to write Ava’s books and uncovered Dallas’s past traumas that he needed to have his own book. That’s really how the Hunter Games was born. Mal, Dallas, and the boys needed to tell their stories of loss, love, and hope, and Dallas’s story is full of those things. Like Mal, there is a scarred man underneath all the weapons and tattoos.

Should readers read Ava’s series first?

I recommend readers check out Ava’s series first, that way they are familiar with the characters and the world they take place in, and some of the storylines do carry over into The Hunter Games series. However, with that being said, you can read the Hunter Games by itself, as the series mostly centers around the hunters and their adventures away from Ava, Cas, and the town of Chester.

How many books do you have planned for this series?

There will be 3 more books in The Hunter Games Series, and at least 1 more book in the Ava Crowley, Vampire Slayer Series. The parent series, Forevermore will have 2 more books.

You mentioned Forevermore as a “parent” series. Can you elaborate on that?

When I started writing my first book, In The Cards (which is free on all platforms), I had no idea it was going to be a series. I wrote In The Blood shortly after that, and knew then it was going to be a series. Initially, the Forevermore Series was supposed to be a 7 book series, but somewhere along the way as I wrote these characters, readers started to really respond to Ava & Cas, and I ended up giving them their own series, and through that I ended up giving Mal and the hunters their own series and it sort of became this universe all on its own. I look at these tiered series sort of like Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Marvel put out their massive storyline in “phases”, and to me, the Forevermore World is 3 Acts.

You can check out the “Acts” in their chronological order below.

What else are you working on currently? What can readers hope to see from you in the future?

I write like it’s going out of style, so currently on my schedule I have 7 or 8 more books to write and publish before the year is over! I’m currently working on some shared world projects, both paranormal. I am also working on some series continuations, such as Hell Everlasting, the second book in my Lost Souls Series, In The Night, the 6th Forevermore book, and Earth Shaker, the sequel to the first book in my Elementalist Saga, Storm Bringer. Next year I have a bit of a shorter schedule as I work on wrapping up some series and starting some new ones, so stay tuned for that! I also have more books coming in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld Series!

Genre: Gay Erotica

What happens when two longtime friends decide to take things a little further than planned?

When acrophobic Meg ends up suspended at the top of a Ferris wheel with her sassy friend Ava Hawks, she gets much more than she bargained for.

However, the bi-curious girls also have boyfriends. Leo and Owen will soon be joining them at the county fair. And in the bedroom.

Will this be a night to remember? Or a tryst the four of them would rather soon forget?

Perfect Circle is a 5,600-word short story. Part of The Physical Collection: a series of sexy standalones written by A.R. Hadley.

This is a cute, steamy, and quick read. Best friends who explore what could be between them. Although this is a short read, I did get the sense that these two cared a lot about each other and I think that adds to their story. Makes their exploration special. I give this 4 stars.

Good Girl by M. Violet was everything my little black heart desired. Dark and steamy? Yes please! I was quickly consumed by this story and its characters. Did I mention it was steamy? Those steamy scenes were *chefs kiss* I loved the overall dark vibe of the story and felt such a loss once I was finished. I had fast become attached to these characters and felt their loss as the story ended.

If you enjoy dark and steamy books, I highly recommend this one! Just skip adding it to your TBR and dive right in. You won’t be disappointed. I give this 5 stars.

Fireflies: An LGBTQ Novel (The Physical Collection) by A.R. Hadley – My Review

theliteraryvixenLeave a comment


Title: Fireflies: An LGBTQ Novel (The Physical Collection)

Author: A.R. Hadley

Release Date: May 15th 2023

Genre: Gay Erotica

Three’s company, but is four a crowd?

Mike and Dane are a bisexual couple living the good life in a tucked-away Florida beach town.

But things start to shift when Dane announces he’d like to add a third to their seven-year relationship. A woman.

What ensues is a journey neither man expected. And after a few rather interesting hookups, two women enter the picture, forever changing the course of their lives.

Will the men get everything they’ve always wanted? Or will their polyamorous relationship prove to be more than they can abide?

Author Note: Fireflies is a 45,000-word novel. Part of The Physical Collection: a series of sexy standalones by A.R. Hadley. More literary fiction, less romance. The characters and their intense and realistic actions drive the plot. Contains graphic content that may trigger some readers.

I enjoyed this story. The characters were different and also relatable in some ways. Do we choose who we love or does our heart choose for us? The story was both emotionally deep, thought provoking, and steamy. The intimate scenes were pretty smoking. This was a really unique story. Not a traditional love story but one nonetheless.

If you’re looking for something new and different to read, I highly suggest this one. I give this 4 stars.

Author Spotlight – Addison Moore

theliteraryvixenLeave a comment

Addison Moore is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

~Synopsis~

Humor with a side of homicide.
A baker who sees the dead. One too many suitors. And a killer. Living in Honey Hollow can be murder.

My name is Lottie Lemon and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety. And for some reason those sweet, fluffy albeit paranormal cuties always seem to act as a not-so-great harbinger of deadly things to come for their previous owner. So when I saw that sweet orange tabby twirling around my landlord’s ankles, I figured Merilee was in for trouble. Personally, I was hoping for a skinned knee—what I got was a top spot in an open homicide investigation. Throw in a hot judge and an ornery detective that oozes testosterone and that pretty much sums up my life right about now. Have I mentioned how cute that detective is?

Lottie Lemon has a bakery to tend to, a budding romance with perhaps one too many suitors and she has the supernatural ability to see the dead—which are always harbingers for ominous things to come. Throw in a string of murders and her insatiable thirst for justice and you’ll have more chaos than you know what to do with.

Living in the small town of Honey Hollow can be murder.

Humor with a side of homicide. Addison’s mysteries are criminally cozy.
Addison Moore is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author who writes mystery, psychological thrillers and romance. Her work has been featured in Cosmopolitan magazine. Previously she worked as a therapist on a locked psychiatric unit for nearly a decade.

Interview with an Author featuring C. Anne

theliteraryvixenLeave a comment

The Literary Vixen presents…

Joining us today is C. Anne! Her book, A Home Called Haven Book 1: The Lower World released on December 1st 2022.

How long have you been writing?

I have been writing pretty much my whole life. When I was nine years old I received a Brother Word Processor for my Birthday and would spend hours creating different worlds and characters. By middle school I had a notebook with me at all times and wrote poetry and song lyrics any free time I had. I’ve always had a fascination with words and have always loved reading as well. So it just came naturally to write and create my own stories.

Describe a typical writing day.

I homeschool my kids and have a mini zoo of pets so my time to write is pretty limited. Usually on week days I start writing after finishing morning lessons with my kids. I make a cup of coffee and write for about 90 minutes. Then after lunch and afternoon lessons I write some more. On the weekends when I am in the middle of writing a book I start first thing after breakfast and will write for 3-4 hours before taking a break. Once I get going on a book I have a pretty consistent routine of writing and usually finish the rough draft in about 2-3 weeks.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

My main characters are inspired by my children, myself as a child, and the people who had a profound impact on me growing up. As for the story line, my middle grade series A Home Called Haven is inspired by the different worlds in Shamanism (lower, middle, upper.) Earth based beliefs and spirituality are a big inspiration for me as are mindfulness, taking care of the planet, healing journeys, and finding magic in everyday moments.

What do you hope your readers take away from this book?

I hope children and young adults will find hope and a bigger world view of life in general. As a child I struggled to fit in and find acceptance from others. Books were my refuge. But I never found a book with a character like myself or with the kind of story line that I could really relate to. My editor made the comment that this book (the second in the series) would have helped her so much as a child and that if every child was taught what the book aims to teach our world would be a much different and better place. That explains perfectly what I hope readers will take away from A Home Called Haven series.

What is the significance of the title?

Book one, The Lower World, is about the Shamanic lower world. It’s the realm of ancestors, spirits, and the deepest aspects of our soul. When someone is being initiated into the practice it’s the first place they travel to and will spend a lot of time there healing traumas. The first book in the series is the initiation for Fox and Otter, the main characters, and their introduction to this fantastical world where they will heal any traumas that are preventing them from becoming their highest selves.

What was the highlight of writing this book?

The book features mythological beings from various cultures. The research was so interesting, and I learned about mythological beings I had never heard of before. It opened up a whole new world of writing possibilities for me.

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

Compassionate, imaginative, dreamer

Are you working on anything at the present you would like to share with me?

The second book in A Home Called Haven series is currently being illustrated by the amazingly talented Alessandra Liane, and will be coming out this fall. Right now I am plotting the third book in the series and also have a new series I have been doing research on. Kind of going down a rabbit hole with that one but it’s been really fun.

What advice would you give to other authors?

Write what you feel passionate about. Be authentic and have your own voice and style. And never, ever give up on your dream.

What is the one thing you want people to know about you and your books?

I’ve always been a dreamer and want to save the world. My writing is my way of doing that in the best way I know how. I feel like if I can reach children and young adults through my books, help them to be open-minded, accepting of others, and learn to be patient and kind with themselves and others, I can impact the world in a big way. I want to help young people who are struggling, who feel like they don’t belong, and who are hurting to see that the world really can be an incredible, magical place. You just have to learn how to change the way you see things and the way you react. If I can change just one life for the better I will be happy. If I can change many lives I will be fulfilled.

Thank you C. Anne for chatting with me! I will include her information down below. Check out her book, A Home Called Haven today!

~Synopsis~

What happens when two misfit children are sent to live with a mischievous and mysterious woman in her magical cabin in the woods?

Fox and Otter have only just met when they are whisked away on an adventure of a lifetime in a mystical place called the Lower World. Together they must face their fears and overcome treacherous obstacles to find their way back to the cabin named Haven. On their transformative journey they meet magical creatures that help them to heal and grow. They learn to lean on each other, trust their instincts, and the true meaning of finding their way back home.

A magical fairy tale that fuses both fantasy and adventure into one book. Are you ready for a spellbinding journey? The first in A Home Called Haven series, this is an incredible adventure you don’t want to miss.

C. Anne lives in North Carolina with her partner, two boys, cats, dogs, chickens, and a leopard gecko. She loves animals, nature, and finding magic in everyday moments. She enjoys weaving fantasy, adventure, and elements of shamanism and love for the planet in her stories. She believes books have the power to change lives and all children deserve to see themselves represented in them in a positive way. When she isn’t writing she enjoys creating art, spending time with family, connecting with nature, biking, hiking, reading, and going on adventures.

Interview with an Author featuring Tony Reyes

The Literary Vixen presents…

Joining us today is Tony Reyes! Author of the Waiting for Darkness series.

How long have you been writing?

I was into writing stories as a kid, junior high and high school, but it was just something I did in my room when an idea popped into my head. They were horrible stories, but it was a beginning.  I started writing more seriously in my 20s, mainly short films and screenplays. I wrote and shot several short films, but found myself bound by budget, so I decided to concentrate on one of my screenplays and turn it into a novel. That is what finally became Waiting for Darkness.

Describe a typical writing day.

I haven’t been writing lately (neck deep in research) but when I do, I usually start writing when everyone in the house has gone to sleep, I kill all the lights, turn off the TV, airplane mode and the only music I will listen to is classical, no lyrics allowed. I found I will sing along if I play pop music, so I found I basically listen to what the soundtrack would be if the story was a movie. With my particular style of writing, the music of choice is usually Holsts The Planets,  or maybe Barber: Adagio for Strings.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

The classics. I just always wanted to be able to paint pictures with words the way my favorite writers did. Twain, Poe, Lovecraft, Orwell, etc…

What are some challenges that have come up during your writing and publishing journey?

The amount of rejections you get, both with screenplays and novels can be devastating.  You have to just keep plugging away, that is what they say. You can’t take it personal, but after a while it does feel that way. Since I was never able to find an open door to walk through, I decided to just self publish so at least I would have a copy on my bookshelf.

When you’re writing an emotionally draining (or sexy, or sad, etc) scene, how do you get in the mood?

By the time I get to writing I have probably talked the scene out in my head over and over again. I work it out like a movie scene. Have to be alone for this or people will look at your strangely J So by the time I get to writing I just go back to that place I was when I was feeling the scene and I run with it.

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

Stubborn, creative, and MacGyverish (I can pretty much fix anything)

What do you hope your readers take away from this book?

My biggest hope is that when the close the book, just for a second, they thing “Could Darklings really exist?”

Are you working on anything at the present you would like to share with me?

I am researching book 3, which will end this cycle of the story. But I have plans in the world, one offs, spin offs, prequels, etc.

What advice would you give to other aspiring authors?

Make time to write, the best thing for me is NaNoWriMo, where you committed to writing at least 1000 words a day. That is really a great discipline to have. I wish I could say I was able to continue that pace. Life seems to get in the way.

What is the one thing you want people to know about you and your books?

That I am a fan of story, especially with a dark twist to it. I love the craft of piecing together scenes that take the reader on a journey. I love the idea that I write the story and every time someone reads it, they have a different movie in their mind’s eye that someone else may have had. No matter when someone cracks the book open they travel in time to the point I was writing the story, probably in the middle of the night in my underwear, it is like I am the screenwriter and the reader is the director with carte blanche. No two readers ever have the same vision, they all have their own spin on it. From characters to locale, I can give them the bones and they flesh the visual out. I love that idea.

Thank you Tony Reyes for chatting with me! I will include his information down below. Check out his Waiting for Darkness series today!

~Synopsis~

Cruz Espinoza, a brilliant young surgeon, has his life ripped from him as he is pulled into the supernatural world of the Darkling. Cruz looks for answers to millennia old questions. Where did the Vampire myth come from? Who gave them these powers? And why? He finds the answers, answers that shake his faith.

~Synopsis~

Cruz Espinoza – A Darkling seeking redemption for the sins of his past, vows to rid the world of the Firstborns. The Brotherhood – A secret organization formed centuries ago to eliminate these creatures of darkness. Firstborns – The most powerful of the Darkling bloodline and the most dangerous. From the underground closes of Edinburgh, Scotland to the Gothic churches of Cologne, Germany, Cruz searches for the cryptic lost relic of the Fallen. But he isn’t alone in his quest, a mysterious Firstborn, known only as Lilith, lurks in the shadows seeking the same artifact that, in her hands, would certainly put the future of humanity in jeopardy. From the knights of the Middle Ages to modern day soldiers, warriors have secretly battled against the Darkling, protecting mankind. Now the war comes to its inevitable climax. Will Cruz stop Lilith’s reign of Darkness?

With over 30 years of television/film experience, Tony Reyes has had the opportunity of working almost every job the industry offers. All of these positions have pointed in one direction, Storytelling. Several completed screenplays later, he decided to turn one into a novel. “Waiting for Darkness” became that first novel.

When Tony isn’t writing scripts or working on a novel, free time is spent dedicated to his kids, reading anything in sight and, playing and building guitars.

Interview with an Author featuring Adam Stark

theliteraryvixenLeave a comment

The Literary Vixen presents…

Joining us today is Adam Stark! Author of World’s Worst Murder Detective 2: Laws Stand Found!

My name is Adam Stark. I have been in the Rap game since 2007, and I take the craft of writing very seriously. I’ve worked extremely hard to perfect my talent of creating figurative language, wordplay mechanics, and expression through words to be able to break down the barriers of the English language. I was offered a record deal as well. Since 2015, I was inspired to take a break from Rap. I love stories, in all formats, from books, to audiobooks, to movies. I don’t truly know why it took me so long to decide to write books, but I’m so glad that I did! Just like my music, my freestyles, and my rap battles; my books are always free. I never cared about money, I just want to be remembered for my talent in this realm. Another motivation came when I announced that I would write my first book, my own family and friends thought that I was writing a book about Rap… I was annoyed, I wanted to write stories that have absolutely nothing to do with Rap. I have one advantage of having read so many books, stories, and seen so many films in my life (way too many) that I knew how to engage a reader/lister without reminding them of some other story. Because of this, it takes me a long time to write. I have standards that put a lot of pressure onto myself to make sure that my stories have solid and interesting motifs, intriguing characters, visual imagery for action sequences, and great plot twists. My twists are always within the realm of possibility, I will never take the easy way out and use a plot twist that seems more like a convenient excuse.
My most successful book is ‘World’s Worst Murder Detective 2: Laws Stand Found!’
This book absolutely exploded my expectations, I couldn’t possibly fathom how well it would do, and I was euphoric when the success came to fruition! My first comedy book was short, and based strongly on my amateur livestream comedy performances online. When I finished 2 unrelated books since then, something really inspired me. I love court cases, and courtroom drama. I had a realization, that my story didn’t have to end with one book, and why in the world was I limiting myself?! This book, far surpasses the first in it’s series. I wrote it so carefully that the first book isn’t required to understand this story. I write out complex sophisticated dialogue that is done in the same manor of how I craft my Rap metaphors, although without rhyming. I perfectly molded a perfect hybrid character who is equally as intelligent, as he is a complete fool! Book smart, and yet, socially disturbed, despite his high I.Q. This book did something I never thought was possible for me, first, it was featured on a website in a compilation called ‘Humor In The Time Of Covid’ and I thought that was such a nice surprise! But had I known… in just a few months later, on a major ebook website online, this book was ranked number one! And it remained ranked number one for over 20 weeks in a row! That is a personal accomplishment that I am very proud of! My goal was just to publish my books, I now know better, never let their be a ceiling! I hope many other authors do the same.

 

Thank you Adam Stark for chatting with me! I will include his information down below. Check out his book, World’s Worst Murder Detective 2 today!

My true passion is Hip Hop. I’ve been writing my whole life, rhymes, raps, songs, poetry, parodies ect. I decided after all these years of writing, to try to test myself to write an entire book that has nothing to do with me or Hip Hop. As far as Rap goes, I have done it all with my very talented writing and my very talented freestyling (improvisational performances). I have wrote in many different rhyme patterns; I have created the most complex metaphors similes punchlines entendre’s alliterations homophones hyperbole’s onomatopoeia’s ect. I broke down barriers in the English language, for example I wrote the very first quintuple implied meaning line, you say it one way and it means 5 different things! And I’m also one of the worlds fastest rappers (or talkers) where I have proof of it where I hold up a stopwatch while I perform to prove legitimacy. I really enjoy writing and I take all of my work seriously, I do everything for free because I want to be remembered rather than be rich (potentially)
