Hello everyone!
          	
          	I just posted some more art on my instagram: author_d.sparx
          	It's featuring Damon, Ricky, Thomas and Hector from "And Then There Were More". Some of them are a bit risky but not NSFW because instagram is lame and doesn't allow that. (Might do a patreon if I get confident enough)
          	
          	And again, thank you to everyone who added a review to my Amazon books! I'm up to 5 for "Working for the Prince" and 24 for "Bonding with the Enemy"!

@pompeiia76 Oh, wow, that's awful. Admittedly, I never really used Twitter before the change, so I didn't know much about it aside from them changing it to "X."

@DarkSparx yeah, I closed my Twitter account after twat "X" decided people's feed preferences no longer needed to be personalized to... IDK... this crazy things called their preferences and some conservative hateful shit started showing up in my feed every time I opened the app. I didn't even follow politics or politicians. I followed photographers, painters, nature conservation, you know things like that.

@unoriginal97531 I have zero interaction on Twitter though. The last time I asked which platform to use, everyone basically said they hated Twitter with a passion and preferred Instagram.

I've just finished working for the prince, bonding with the enemy and stuck in the middle and obsessed doesn't begin to describe how I feel about your work!! I just want to let you know that you are truly a fabulous author and I am about to read worlds collide, and then probably come back to rave about that one lol. I can't wait to read more of your work, please don't ever stop writing <3

DarkSparx

@Ratzilla17 Awe TYSM! Admittedly I haven't gone back to update "When Worlds Collide" since I'm still working on the paperback for "And Then There Were More". It's a first draft so expect mistakes and potential plot holes!
            
            And I definitely will keep writing! I've got too many stories backed up. XD

This is exactly how I feel! Thank you so much Sparx <3

Enemies to lovers who are worlds apart with a grumpy top who's mostly sunshine to the totally grumpy and snarky bottom who gets whiny and needy and starts to rely on the top as the relationship progresses. Like this book on Wattpad "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" it's a bxb and it pictures this nicely except the worlds apart part.... Id love to read a book written by you on this trope... I have CONSUMED AND RE-CONSUMED A LOT

DarkSparx

@Alphadame Just looked that one up and holy cow that's a long one! I'll put it in my library for when I have more time. XD

Aight ya'll. What's your favorite book tropes? Don't be shy! (I like Possessive MLs)
          
          I also like Enemies to Lovers, Sunshine and Grump, and Worlds Apart.

@DarkSparx beauty and the beast definitely gets close, but i feel like something is lacking and isn’t fully fleshed out in that department you get me? and beastars gets the feeling right, cop x criminal and assassin x target is also very yummy too, but honestly beastars pretty much hits the nail on the head tbh, idk why i didnt think to list that as an example too, but all of those that you listed definitely fit into the category one way or another ❤️ also just gonna use this moment to thank you for your work, your stories are ones i can read without issue, love it, reread it and love it again, even if i dont typically go for that type of plot i’ll hop on in and love the journey, idk what it is man you just make your writing so hypnotic it’s got me addicted

@Alphadame Yes! I don't see enough of those. It's always a love triangle where one has to be chosen or neither love interest gets enough time with MC. I prefer it if they're all in a relationship together too, not just two pining after the MC.

@LittleMsLesewurm Some of my funnest challenges are stories featuring Ex Bully/Enemies to lovers with the toxic ML morphing into a green flag. So many stories just slap them together in the end with no resolution or character growth. DX

          Hi! New writer here. I have currently published  my ongoing story about werewolf bxb titled Between Doubts and Destiny. I am hoping for your kind consideration to somehow read my story. If you like it, please do leave a vote and comment. Thank you very much ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ
          ------ 
          
          I've recently read your story Bonding with the Enemy, it has been ages since I found a good story to read especially werewolves. I love the character development of Jasper, and I also love Darren so much. I love how you write, writing the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the character while the events also happen. I also love the rising tension both of them in each chapter, it also made me on edge. It was really a roller coaster of emotion for me (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

@madmaxnotmad hope you have consumed their other books too... You would not be disappointed

For anyone who has seen the new cover design for “And Then There Were More”, do you think it’d be better glossy or Matte?
          
          The design is on my Instagram, and includes gold lettering and lines. So I feel like glossy would be more fitting, but most readers said they prefer matte. 
          
          Thoughts?

@LunaLillie This is actually a really good point!

Matte is my go to for books as it feels better! Glossy is flimsy and will fold very easily compared to matte so that's another reason.

@DarkSparx I think glossy would make it lighter. Matte makes me feel that the topic is sombre.

I just finished the Kindle release of the Working for the Prince rewrite. Nicely done. I really enjoyed it and didn't mind at all gifting it to other people.  Hopefully my review will go up sometime soon and they will review as well.
          
          Take care and Happy New Year.

@pompeiia76 Your review for "Working for the Prince" just came through and I really appreciate the amount of thought you put into it!

@pompeiia76 Tysm! That was so sweet of you! <3
            I read through your review and appreciate everything you pointed out! (I thought I caught all the spelling issues with Gerrit's name) but I knew there was bound to be something. I'm working on updating the manuscript. 
            
            I did consider adding a trigger warning for the beginning like I did with "Working for the Prince". However, I felt like one of the warnings would be a major spoiler for the second arc so I'm trying to figure out how to work around it.

Thank you to everyone who left a review on Amazon! 
          
          Also, for anyone who wants to see, I posted some old concept art of Damon and Ricky from “And Then There Were More”.
