Some observations on book covers

[lou-wilham]

"this book was confusing"

have you considered thinking harder, or rereading it with a corkboard, string and a wall of annotated maps?

It's the first day of Pride!

While I and my books are queer all year 'round, from now until the end of the month you can grab all of my books on Itchio for 15$.

This includes my novellas (apart from Black Cat which is perma-free on there), and all my series.

It's book festival season!

That means I'm a little more quiet on social media than is my norm what with my juggling events and writing work. But never fear, I'm still here. I'll probably be doing a post sometime this week to catch everyone up on my new releases, and what's upcoming.

Til then, here are some pictures from my first two events of the season!

Cover reveal! Book 4 in The Witches of Moondale series!

Everybody’s favorite sapphic witches are back (AND GETTING ENGAGED?!!?)

There is no rest for the wicked.

If Azure Elwood thought getting their new coven members settled would free up a moment for her to propose to the woman she loves, and spend time with her new family, she was very much mistaken. Moondale, as always, has other plans, and they come in the shape of a centennial celebration full of issues. Missing tables. Stolen scissors. And ghosts? Well, it’s just another day in Moondale, Maryland.

The first rule of necromancy is simple, spirits lie. Icarus “Rus” Ashthorne is intimately familiar with this fact, so when Az’s ancestor appears again with a warning about the Soul Jumper making a return, she knows there’s more to this story. She just isn’t sure what it is. And with Az determined to propose, Rus will have to unearth all the skeletons she thought she’d buried.

There’s a prophecy still hanging above their heads, the centennial is falling apart, and ghosts are literally walking among them. The Coven of the Forgotten is up to its eyeballs in problems. What else could possibly go wrong?

This book was SO good!

The characters are so well written, and the story does such an amazing job of pulling me in to this world and refusing to let me go!

Books one and two(Overkill and Fresh Kill) both had me tearing through them in one sitting and Kill Your Darlings isn't any different, it was impossible to put down.

I hadn't read anything by Lou Wilham before, but as soon as I finished KYD, let me tell you I RAN to find more from this talented author!

I won't lie, I can see myself rereading this series over and over again!

synopsis:

It’s a nice day for a . . . closed coffin.

Down a Venator and up a boyfriend, Eric Marcelino’s life has just gotten more interesting (derogatory). His town is overrun with rabid vampires, his boyfriends aren’t getting along, and the Council of Creatures is intent on getting Eric’s kids out into the field.

All Tony McMahon has ever known is change, and as he struggles to accept his werewolf nature, and his new position as one of Eric’s boyfriends, he doesn’t really recognize himself or his life anymore.

Science and Eric are the two things Hunter’s been sure of since he was a teen. But with his growing feelings for Tony making things at home. . . complicated, and his refuge—the lab—being invaded by the Council, Hunter’s only option is to fight. The trouble? He’s never been much of a fighter.

Ironport is sitting on a stake’s point, and one wrong move could tip it over. All that’s left for Eric and his team to do? Hang on for the ride, and hope they come out on the right side of things. Oh and, don’t die in the process.

when the story is just not working, but you keep writing anyway

Addams family member concept:

A tree-hugging, nature-loving, hippie aunt. But she loves specifically all of the most disgusting and horrifying things in nature.

She admires the way predators eviscerate their prey. She finds the lethal mating habits of insects romantic. She always offers people fruits and snacks, forgetting that they're poisonous and most people haven't developed immunity.
