Meet the grumpiest gargoyle... (and see some new art!)

Hi !
First up: if you've been curious about my current Patreon serial, Intro to Beastly Behaviors, I have a treat for you today!
Artist Impyeu created an absolutely adorable one-page comic inspired by the story, and I'm sharing it for FREE as a special bonus. If you've ever wondered what it’d be like to have a minotaur study-buddy-with-benefits…
Intro to Beastly Behaviors is currently running as a Patreon-exclusive serial, and patrons get new chapters every week, along with bonus art, behind-the-scenes content, and other extras. It will launch on Amazon in 2027.
COMING SOON!
The Gargoyle & the Lady launches on June 26, so I thought it was time to properly introduce one of its main characters!
Meet Rikard.
At the beginning of his story, he is…
👿 grumpy
⚔️ scarred
🖤 bitter
👉👈 lonely
🤭 horny
According to moth gossip, Rikard is an infamous degenerate who prefers human women to his own kind. In reality, that’s less to do with any fetish and more to do with his inability to fly. His wings were ruined in the goblin wars, which is a dealbreaker for most gargoyle females.
What the moths don’t know is that other parts of him were damaged, too. Parts that make it impossible for him to father a child.
So when a beautiful ✅ pregnant ✅ human ✅ walks into his office and proposes a marriage of convenience, he has no reservations about accepting her deal! It’s everything he wants and needs… except that one tiny rule about no biting and no bedding.
If you enjoy grumpy heroes, quiet devotion, protective instincts, and the moment when a seemingly unshakable warrior realizes he's fallen completely in love and will do anything to exact revenge on her enemies, I think you're going to love Rikard!

NEW FROM OTHER AUTHORS
Fake Dating the Grumpy Werewolf Next Door by Ami Wright just released this week, and if you enjoy cozy monster omegaverse, this one so much fun. It features a very grumpy werewolf hero, a half-succubus who doesn’t know she’s an omega, fake dating your dad’s best friend, small-town shenanigans, and sooo much chemistry!
As a half-succubus, I attract trouble, even when I don’t mean to. My parents whisked me away from our small-town home when I hit puberty and the problems began. Now I’m back, temporarily, and I’m fake-dating my dad’s best friend to keep the rest of the monsters of Mosswood off my doorstep.
But everyone in town is talking about the fact that he's too old for me, too grumpy, too damaged... Too bad Gryff is the only guy I’ve ever had real feelings for. But why would anyone want anything real with the girl who causes trouble wherever she goes? And what happens when my father finds out his best friend helped me through my first heat?
Have a great weekend full of great books.
Love,
Sara
