Support, Prescribed, Not Pulled Off a Shelf

Every author carries a different weight. Different deadlines. Different capacities.

The support offered through Bones and Belladonna is built around a clear, structured system designed to hold that weight not add to it.

The Bone Crown forms the core, with additional support layered where needed to match your pace, your workload, and your release cycle.

Think of this as a prescription not a collection of options, but the right level of support applied where it matters most.

Dark Romance

Stories driven by obsession, power, devotion, and morally complex love. Support here understands intense readers, high emotion, and the importance of trust.

Romantasy

Fantasy worlds where magic and romance are inseparable. These stories require consistency, immersion, and careful reader engagement, all handled with intention.

Gothic fiction

Atmospheric, haunting narratives steeped in mood and tension. Support respects pacing, aesthetic cohesion, and long term presence over loud marketing.

Genres we devour

And more

This includes adjacent genres and cross genre works that lean dark, romantic, atmospheric, or emotionally intense, especially where reader expectation and aesthetic cohesion matter.

If your stories live in the shadows or blur their edges, you’re likely in the right place.

Not Sure Where You Fit?

Honestly, if you’re looking for a clean, corporate, bullet pointed recommendation, you’re on the wrong planet. This is a standing ovation in the key of gremlin screech. This is a thank you note carved into the walls of my creative cave with a glitter pen and the last thread of my sanity. This is me, shouting into the void: I WOULD BE A PILE OF UNFINISHED GOOGLE DOCS WITHOUT HER.

Nicky at Bones and Belladonna isn’t just my admin. She’s the quiet force standing between me and artistic combustion. She knows the exact moment to step in and say, “No babe, absolutely not, you don’t need to do that. I’ve got it.” And she DOES. She grabs the work end of being an Indie author I struggle to deal with, social media scheduling, managing ARC teams, street team chaos, research wormholes I absolutely would drown in, illustrator sourcing, content ideas, sending out reader and review copies, making things look pretty when I have the aesthetic range of a potato, and she just… handles it. Calmly. Kindly. Like a magical spreadsheet witch who decided to use her powers for good.

She knows I’m an anxious little nightmare goblin. She gets it. She holds space for it. She doesn’t make me feel like I’m too much, even when I am seven cups of coffee deep, typing in all caps, asking the universe if I can set fire to a subplot. She brings this calm, grounding energy that somehow lets me keep doing what I love without falling off the rails.

She’s got taste. She’s got range. She knows when to let me spiral, when to reign me in, when to send a meme, and when to gently bully me into drinking water and getting some sleep. She is the glue. The scaffolding. The unsung hero of my entire author journey. I am not exaggerating when I say that I am more productive, more creative, and more mentally okay because of her.

If you are a creative looking for someone who gets it, who can dive into the chaos with you, help you swim through it, and also make your backend look shiny and professional while you’re over here making emotional deals with fictional characters, you want her. You need her.

Nicky, you absolute legend. Thank you for holding my hand and also my schedule.

Love always,

Tamar
