award-winning author of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST duology ✨ bio.link/wickedjamison they/them

the official cover for my next book, ROAR OF THE LAMBS. the text reads: "Unlock the box. Unleash the apocalypse. Roar of the Lambs. From the author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me, Jamison Shea." The illustration depicts a decorative carved box that is pale white, made of bone, with a sharp stick in the lock to keep it shut. The box is guarded by a large green snake that curls around it. Its mouth is open, fangs drawn. The background is dark. The foreground is gritty, a little grainy, with light purple scratches in the image.

ROAR OF THE LAMBS, August 26 "There was something in the flush of her cheeks, her hand in their throat, that warmed Apollo from the inside and rewired their brain so that they looked forward to helping her. To seeing the mystery written on her face, breathing in the wind as it fluttered through her hair. Apollo was remaking themself into a hero just for her, and they couldn't stop now."

A screenshot from the mobile version of YouTube of a video titled, "Is Our Obsession with Girlhood Infantilizing Us?" by user Shanspeare. Posted 4 days ago, 210,000 views. The thumbnail shows a Black person with dark hair in braids and a soft pink bow. They wear a corset and flowy white shirt. And they're surrounded by a pink calculator that says "girl math" a cutout of Taylor Swift, a pink teddy bear, the Barbie movie logo, a sign that says girl power, lipstick, cash, and another cut out of Sabrina Carpenter.
a small Hello Kitty sculpture that has corpse paint (so white face, black eyes and black veins), a black crescent moon on the forehead, and a pentagram above it in red. the bow is black. the overalls are black, with Hello Kitty written in the stereotypical metal font, the shirt underneath is grey. The kitty has been splattered with red paint to look like blood.

a photo of me, the author, a Black person of medium brown tone, with short locs that are golden in the front, black in back. I wear glasses and dark lipstick. I have gold rings in each nostril and a stack through my septum. I stretch my ears. I swear a black velvet top and hold a stack of books: four different editions of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST as well as its sequel, I AM THE DARK. I stand beside a bookshelf cluttered with books.

a portrait of a fluffy black cat. she is upside down, lying on her back, legs in the air, ears perky, green eyes wide. there are the little pricks of fangs sticking out of her mouth. not a single thought in her tiny, fluffy head.
