Bountiful Harvest Pinups! πŸ¦ƒ

It's Thanksgiving time, and our girls are celebrating in their own special ways!

Jill, Sandy, Kris, and Taylor are all making something they love for the holiday - whether it's a family recipe or a new tradition they're starting. There's something so heartwarming about seeing them in the kitchen, creating meals that bring people together.

And then there's Nikki... who you absolutely do NOT want anywhere near the kitchen. πŸ˜‚ Instead, she's enjoying her usual Thanksgiving activity...

Taylor Made - Chapter 14 - Two more illustrations (Spoilers!)

A few of you in the comments were sad we didn't get to see art of Maya's costume. Me too! I simply ran out of time. Well, tonight I decided to fix that! Hope you like these two additional illustrations of one of the most fun nights of Taylor's life - so far. 😊

These will be included in the chapter when I eventually publish this monster. We're now past 90,000 words if you can believe it! Thank you all for loving Taylor's story as much as I do. πŸ’•

Taylor Made - Chapter 14

Four confessions. One Halloween costume. And a decision that could end everything.

So, funny story - this was supposed to be the final chapter. I sat down to wrap everything up and realized Taylor had other plans. Turns out there was way more ground to cover than I'd anticipated, and Chapter 14 clocked in at nearly 12,000 words. Oops.

The good news: you're getting a meaty chapter with 10 new images. The bad news (or good news, depending on how you look at it): we're not d...

Half Sisters: The Ritz of Passage, Part 1

NIKKI AND SANDY ARE BACK!

After months away from Texas, our favorite reluctant roommates-to-be are finally reuniting... but not before sharing some very personal emails about their latest adventures...

Two girls. Two weeks until college. One obscenely expensive credit card. And the uncomfortable realization that sometimes "adapting" feels suspiciously like... living.

Welcome to the last days of summer before St. Christopher's. Welcome to The...

Jack & Jill - Phase 9, Part 29

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." β€” Carl Jung

Phew! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this episode, everyone! πŸ’– Part of me can't believe we're at the Coming Out dinner.... it's really happening!

Thank you so much for your support, letting me tell this epic story... It's truly a dream come true! πŸ’•

Swap - Bonus Pinup

Just when Rhett thought he was out - they pulled her back in!

Happy Friday night! You all inspired me with all your amazing comments on Swap, so I cooked up this pinup of "Mira" in... perhaps... a future situation! πŸ’•

Swap

When Rhett Wallace testifies against the Russian mob, he gets a $20 million bounty on his head and an offer he can't refuse: Deep Shelter, a witness protection program so extreme it doesn't just give you a new identity - it gives you a new body.

Look, I know I have a problem. I can't just write a simple transition story - I have to add betrayal, organized crime, and morally dubious medical professionals. It's like I'm allergic to straightforward plots. πŸ˜…

November's Pinup + Schedule

November is here! πŸ‚

Our monthly pinup features the lovely Sandy! She hasn't been a monthly pinup all year, which is frankly a sin. She deserves the spotlight!

This month brings something new!

  • Introducing "Snapshots" - short stories with art, similar to the old caption format. Sometimes they'll be one-shots like "Party Crasher" last month, other times they'll focus on known characters and show events that happened "off-screen" in the main stories. We'll have three...

Jack & Jill - Phase 9, Part 28

To save her father's life, Jill must convince him that the greatest lie she’s ever told was the truth she always wanted.

Having Jill lie to her father using pieces of her real trauma may be the cruelest thing I've done to her. But that's the true horror of Second Dawn: not just what they take, but what they force you to become to survive it.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts! πŸ’–

Echoes of Eve: Pink Slip

Hey everyone!

Remember "Echoes of Eve," that sci-fi comic I posted a few months back? The one about Jaxon's transformation during a 30-year journey to a new planet?

Well, my incredibly talented friend Helena Grace read it and apparently thought, "You know what this universe needs? A story about a guy who ABSOLUTELY DESERVES what's coming to him."

And then she went and wrote 11,000 words of brilliance...

Homecoming - Episode 33

Kris begins her hunt for Bella's replacement - and finds the perfect candidate walking through the doors of the Full Rack. But turning from prey to predator means crossing a line she can never uncross.

We've watched Kris survive. Now we watch her hunt. I really enjoyed writing this one, even if last episode was more "fun" with Alan and the new life Kris is building. This episode shows how trauma doesn't just break people - it can forge them into something entirely new. Sometime...

Taylor Made - Chapter 13

The morning after changes everything...or maybe nothing at all. After spending the night with Maya, Taylor is beginning to understand that identity might be more complicated (and more freeing) than a simple binary.

Hey everyone! Fair warning: Chapter 13 clocks in at over 9,800 words - I know, I know, it's a beast. But there was so much emotional ground to cover, and I couldn't find a good place to split it. Also threw in 10 images instead of the usual 8 because this chapter ear...

A Little Something Extra... and a Poll!

Hey everyone!

I was blown away by the amazing reaction to Party Crasher last week. It was just a little "snackable" story I put together for fun, but it seems like a lot of you really enjoyed having a short, complete piece to dig into!

That has gotten me thinking about the mix of content on my Patreon. Right now, we have the big, epic comic series that take years to unfold, and the longer illustrated novels that take 6+ months. But I realized we don't usually have...

Jack & Jill - Catch up & Pinup

We're 27 episodes deep into Phase 9, and it felt like the perfect time to compile everything into one place!

This PDF contains all 760 pages of Parts 1-27. It's been quite a journey to the Coming Out dinner. I've also included the Dramatis Personae, though I'll admit it needs updating with some of the new characters we've met along the way. 😊

We're getting close to the end of this sprawling phase. And if you can believe it... Phase 10 is planned to be the final phase of Jack &a...

Homecoming - Episode 31

Kris makes a shocking demand that forces Ben to question everything he thought he knew about helping his old friend. When tensions boil over, she reveals a disturbing theory about who might be protecting Bella's operation from within.

Another big one at 37 panels! Kris is so fun to write, and I really like how the art turned out. Hope you enjoy the episode, and I can't wait to hear what you think. πŸ’• Thank you so much for your support!

Taylor Made - Chapter 12

When the weight of his lies becomes unbearable, Taylor makes a choice that could destroy the first real romantic connection he's ever had.

Thank you for your patience, everyone! This one ended up extra long and has 11 images instead of the usual 8 because there was just so much ground to cover. I hope you enjoy the new chapter! πŸ’–

P.S. Since there may be some question, this is NOT the end.

Jack & Jill - Phase 9, Part 27

Jill continues to search for her father while also battling some old demons...

I'm sorry this episode is late - but hopefully you'll forgive me since it is a triple episode at 56 pages! I think it is my longest episode of any comic so far?

But honestly, I needed to take my time with this one.

Taylor Made - Chapter 11

Taylor's carefully constructed life at MIT shatters when past meets present, leading to revelations that change everything he thought he knew.

The cruelest thing about finding yourself is realizing you might lose everyone who loved the person you were pretending to be.
