MESSAGE FROM THE CURATOR OF THE VAULT

You ever wonder what life within the Zombie Apocalypse looks like? Do you ever wonder what Romance looks like during said apocalypse?

Raven M Roberts has been working on some Artifacts about exactly that, with what we're tentatively calling The World We Build. It's a series of connected stand-alones that are all connected. We know that the first, Apex Equals is finished, and a new Artifact is underway. We're told that Apex Equals may be the first reading that Raven does on our new YouTube!

MESSAGE FROM THE CURATOR OF THE VAULT:

We now have a YouTube channel!! Vincent Van Ghool gave us his, and let us renovate it into a Ruins & Relics channel!

Here's what we're thinking:

We're looking at having Raven M Roberts do readings, a chapter at a time, of some of his books, continuing Vincent Van Ghool's song videos, and, if we can, some BTS of Plaguebearer or The Creepers doing what they do. Damien X has agreed to record himself doing a verse or two when he makes new music.

We also want to start doing Shorts, and those will be whomever gets on and does them.

We're still in the planning phases for most of our plan, but we're making progress.

END CURATOR MESSAGE.

Raven M Roberts Has a new book going up on Wattpad serially starting on August 17th!

The neon pink unicorn Band-Aid that started it all. 🦄🖤

The Unlikely Sanctuary is officially COMPLETE and fully uploaded on Wattpad!

If you love a romance where opposites don't just attract—they completely crash into each other—this one is for you.

It all starts outside a local punk venue called The Crypt. Amy is a cheerfully prepared bookstore employee who wears mismatched socks, and she ends up offering a neon pink Band-Aid to Parker, an intimidating guy with a red mohawk and bleeding knuckles.

What follows is a banter-filled slow burn about a guy who looks like a human noise complaint and the sunshine girl who refuses to be intimidated by him.

Tropes & Vibes to Expect:
Grumpy x Sunshine dynamic
A punk rocker and a bookstore worker
Opposites Attract
He remembers the little details

Head over to Wattpad to binge the complete story starting Monay, August 17th !

☕🖤 ANNOUNCEMENT: This isn't your average coffee shop romance. 🖤☕

If you’ve been following the Perfect Blends Romance series, you know the morning rush at The Alchemist's Grind is usually filled with sweet pastries and easy-sugar fluff.
But Book Four is stepping completely into the midnight shadows.
Meet Track Four—a dark, smoldering, psychological slow-burn that swaps the cozy vibes for heavy velvet, darkwave music, and deep, unvarnished vulnerability.

The Hook:
By day, Lenore is the icy, untouchable "Goth Queen" barista who lets absolutely no one past her armor. By night, she’s Cara Vela, the anonymous author behind a viral web serial. When a chaotic, sharp-eyed artist named Riley starts working the register, he's determined to decode her. When their secrets collide on a shared breakroom whiteboard through a coded language of music, the masks start to burn away.
No more hiding places. Just the heavy intensity of a midnight confession.

🎧 THE SONIC BLUEPRINT:
Because music is the literal heartbeat of how Lenore and Riley communicate, Track Four comes with a fully curated, 100% streamable darkwave and gothic-rock playlist featured right in the book. You can hit play on Spotify and listen to the exact tracks that drive the tension, featuring:
The Sisters of Mercy
Clan of Xymox
The Crüxshadows
Bella Morte ... and more.

If you’re ready for a romance with a lot more edge, a massive psychological push-and-pull, and a killer soundtrack, your next obsession is officially dropping soon.
