UPDATE MAY, 2020

My novel, 'Between,' will be out on Halloween, 2020! HOORAY! AGH! GAH! (this is the sound of me keeling over from excitement. Seriously, it took literally years. I was younger and 62% less caffeinated when I started this beast).

It is a comedy-fantasy. It has a feisty heroine, a leather-pant-wearing sorcerer, intoxicated witches, nefarious goats, dragons, spoiled chickens, terrible elf poetry, DOOM! and running. So. Much. Running.

To find out more about it, join me on Facebook (@llstarlingwriter) or Instagram (@llstarling). Come for the writing updates, stay for the pictures of my chihuahuas. Or the other way around (no judgment). My profile pic is a photo of red sequin devil horns, which are both shiny and pointy (which is the best description of my personality ever).

I just want to thank you all--yes, YOU, person reading this!--for reading my work and reviewing it, both on ffnet and deviantArt. Whenever my inspiration dried up, whenever my Muse knee-capped me and ran off laughing, you guys managed to review and kept me going. You guys are my heroes. HEROES! You fill me with glitter and adrenaline.

So, not to make this awkward, but I love you (in a platonic, non-adult-type fashion). And if you're having problems writing your masterpiece, let me know. We struggling art folk need to procrastinate together. So much procrastination...

Keep being you, awesome people. Keep being you... xx

My Fine Feathered Friend was initially inspired by an awesome piece of fanart by Pika-la-Cynique entitled 'Envy'. For some odd reason, this site has disabled external links (why? WHY!? Oh the betrayal), but you can see the picture in all its glory in my deviant art account (lixxle dot deviantart dot com). I took one look at those goblins and fell for their deviant ways. I decided then and there that I wanted some deviant goblins of my very own. If you look very closely, you can see Skeep...

On my deviantart page, I've bookmarked lots of brilliant pictures of Skeep by Mercuralis, Colette Lunsford, JarethsGenevieve and shii.

The Gift That Keeps Giving is a three-shot (if that's a term) inspired by Mercuralis's magnificently sexy pic of the King "You Know You Want It" (also on deviantart). Chapter 3 contains a dangerous number of crotch references. And leather. Leather crotch for all...

Of Pineapples and Kings is a Halloween tale that is pure crotch-crack (i.e., crackfic-esque with crotch elements). Jareth goes trick-or-treating. Sarah gropes him. A good time is had by all.

Christmas Pretty is a Christmas sequel to 'My Fine Feathered Friend' based on the squee-a-licious pic of the same name by Pika-la-Cynique

For those who were wondering about my icon...it comes from a pic that Pika-la-Cynique made just for me! YEAHHHYY! Check it out on my deviantart page.
