Okay, I just had to stop and message you… I started reading this story Crown and a lighthouse)  and I’m honestly hooked!
          The way you write has that gift where your characters feel alive it’s so vivid I could picture it playing out like a scene in my head.
          
          I’m actually an illustrator & designer (mostly character art, book covers, comic panels, banners, that sort of thing)  and your story instantly sparked so many visual ideas. Your world feels real.
          Just thought I’d say: you’ve got something special here!
          
          And if you ever think about turning parts into a mini comic, a dramatic new cover, character sheets, promo banners for Publish / social, or even visuals for your next book I’d genuinely love to collab or show you what I imagine.
          
          Either way, keep writing! You’ve definitely got a new fan now. ^^

Just some backstory to The Crown and the Lighthouse. This started as a way for me the clear my head. I was working 60-70 hours a week in a job that was draining me. So I started typing, I completed this story in December of last year and I had a few friends and family read it. They loved it and said I should let others read this. So I began revising it and posting it here. Where did it come from? Well this is kind of based on my family, and when I typed it out it had all my families names in it. There are still some subtle nods to my family ties on the story. Not characters but locations. I grew up in a strict Christian household and it was hard to come out to my family. My mom has always been supportive as well as my grandmother. Why royalty?  Well, there's not many books or stories about gay royals so why not. I do have an idea for a second story and I will be posting a clue in the next couple of chapters next week. I hope that yall are enjoying this as much I liked writing this. I have gotten back into posting and will be posting new chapters every day at 7:30 EST until the end of May and beginning of June. I have a lot of family stuff going on so I will try to schedule ahead but I do not want to make any promises I can not keep. Bless you all and thank you for reading.

Hi
          
          I hope you're doing well! I'm Clementine  an artist and graphic designer with a love for character illustration. I've been following your work for a while and really admire your storytelling and the creativity you bring to everything you do  it's genuinely inspiring.
          
          I’d love to explore the idea of a paid collaboration where we could blend our skills and create something unique together. I truly believe that combining our strengths could lead to something meaningful and impactful for both our audiences.
          
          If you're open to it, I’d be super excited to chat more and bounce around some ideas.
          
          Looking forward to hearing from you!

@arthub767  That would be cool but I am not looking to put money into this project at this time. I have completed this story, just fine tuning everything before I post. I have an idea for the second "book" (I say it like that because I view it more as a story) so maybe then will I want to expand on it and bring in artist. Next week, I will be posting a hint at what the next one will involve.

Hey everyone I appreciate the offer to help, but this is just a fun side project for me to clear my head. Not really looking for any money out of this nor do I really want to put money into it. I'm open to suggestions if you have them and I will always welcome feedback.
