#QueerPrompts I don't believe so. There's not much of a focus on outer beauty for any of my stories.

A little.
Caly struggles to connect inner and outer beauty because of her ability to become someone else. And dealing direct with the H.E.L. members means she has to rethink how she perceives people.
Definitely can't judge the "book by the cover."

I think it does, but in an indirect way. I don't think I ever have an actual monologue about what constitutes beauty, but I think the protagonist represents both surface beauty (as he's quite cute), and inner beauty (as he's an 🧵
Sort of! Cole is very focused on his own outer appearance, and making sure he looks good at all times and is polite and charming. But it's because he doesn't want anyone to know what a mess he is underneath.
Ezra, though, really wants Cole to be comfortable and happy on the inside.
#QueerPrompts 7/Oct/26: Does your story discuss inner vs outer beauty?
Not as a main theme. But in the romantic subplot, Yaetherim considers himself unlovable due to the scars on his body and soul. Naeliya, however, sees the kind man inside, who's always looked out for her.

Very much so! Despite it being a paranormal thriller. Katie struggles to see her self worth. It's both a deeply seated ego wound and something that's made her incredibly vulnerable in the past. She wants to feel loved and not feel like an creature around others. #QueerPrompts
That's not quite exactly how I'd describe it. #QueerPrompts
#QueerPrompts October 7: National Inner Beauty Day: Does your story discuss inner vs outer beauty?
Day 6. Any coaches in your story?
You meet Vivian's swim coach.
Only if you consider a best friend that is called once in the entire novel, a coach.
#QueerPrompts
Not in this current crime WIP, but I have an ice skating WIP with an arrogant skating prodigy and his new loner coach.
Zayne Has Toberon Hale/Proctor, his new CO, who takes him under his wing.
Cole's mother Stadi coaches him somewhat, a role that will be expanding in book 2.

Melody: she was pressured into a phys ed degree for college by her parents but as her shifter abilities took greater strain on her body she actually developed a love for (1/?)
No coaches in A Reaper’s Kiss, though Azrael is guided through hell by spirits he meets along his journey. #QueerPrompts
#QueerPrompts: Evadne was coached by producers during her time on the show she met Callum through. Though, in hindsight, I think she wishes she hadn't done everything they wanted her to do.
Leo is coached by his cute animal mascot, and the spirit of his great-great-great-great-great grandfather (the original phantom thief) in his powers but I wouldn't call them Coaches™, y'know?
No actual coaches in my stories yet, but Ill take the day to say Thank You to my Dad, Coach Art, who was a cycle and triathlete coach and was my favorite coach.
Love you, Dad!❤️❤️❤️
#QueerPrompts Coaches?
Yes. In Handled (planning stage), sex work is a regulated industry covered by insurance. The staff who are in direct contact with the clients are sometimes and quite jokingly called "sex coaches." Funny as the male lead is a former shortstop who could have been pro.
I think the closest that I have to that in Raven & Bear is the Master to Page/Squire dynamics we see in each ofthe stories. Sir Myrddin coaches all of the knights in the order of Branwen as their grandmaster.
Though it's more of a mentorship?
