I think the most frustrating thing is that even when you do e v e r y t h i n g right, you can still fail. My collection of horror stories, Nightmare Fuel, comes out in 2 weeks. My next novel, A Call of the Sidhe, comes out on November 18th. I've shared, I've posted about it EVERYWHERE, I've actually paid for ads, and yet, I'm still still stuck at 3 and 1 preordered copies, respectively.

And I'm pretty confident that it's not because they're bad, they're just not reaching the right people. Nightmare Fuel is a collection of horror stories featuring predominately queer, poc, and qpoc characters, while A Call of the Sidhe is a queer fantasy/romance about the Fae. So, if you could share this, I'd be ever so grateful. Pre-Order Nightmare Fuel here

Last night at bedtime, I took my bedtime meds, went to bed, then at 3AM, began to wonder why I wasn't sleeping.

I got up to check my pill box because I had a bad feeling, and...someone, not gonna say who, accidentally took their daytime wake up meds instead of their sleepytime meds, and taking them together would be the kind of technicolour acid trip I am not prepared for, so I attempted to sleep until about 11AM when I gave up, and I've been in a haze ever since.

Suffice it to say, not getting much writing done today.

Do You Believe In Fairies? First novel. Fantasy, medieval type landscape. A fairy is in love with a human, and wants to show him that he exists, except he doesn't believe in fairies. Gay drama ensues.

Whispers in the Dark: Twelve Chilling Tales Second book. 12 horror stories, mostly with queer characters. Okiku's Curse--shinto beliefs and a ghost that has attached itself to a new mother. Rest Stop, a man needs to stop in a blizzard and is accosted by something mysterious. I See You, a non-binary person is relentlessly stalked. Nightmare Fuel: Twelve More Tales Nani's Attic, Samir's grandmother dies unexpectedly, and leaves him with a terrible weight to bear. That story was also featured on the podcast Scare You To Sleep, and you can listen to Part 1 Here and Part 2 Here. Other stories include Road Trip, where a trans girl goes on a road trip across Canada, Dylan's Ghost, where something is haunting young Dylan in his new home, and Anna's Cat, where Anna's new cat is causing the kind of mischief that leaves people dead... A Call of the Sidhe Second novel. Romance and Fantasy. Gay fairies, but buff gay fairies. Cedric Knight lands in a new town with a lot of trauma and status as an amputee. Gay drama ensues.

All my books are available on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover. All my books except Do You Believe in Fairies? are available for free on Kindle Unlimited. Sales mean I can pay for extravagant things like food and shelter.

On a platform like tumblr, I have to wonder if blazing my (gay) books would make more people read it, or because ew advertising they'd be less inclined to do so.

I can't afford to blaze my own bowel movements, so maybe it's better that I don't? Idk Anyway, here's my (gay) books: I have 4 out as of this posting and they're all queer, the romance ones are HEA, and they're gooey.

Please Buy My Shit I Am Poor

(It's also available to read for free on Kindle Unlimited)

Do You Believe in Fairies?

Arion of the Orchid House is a Fae of the High Court; a royal, and shares his place with the Kings of the Fae, Cronos and Nyx. He could have anything or anyone he wanted, but what he finds himself drawn to instead is a human who comes to the edge of the woods every day, and reads. The Reading Man, Arion calls him. Arion wants him, but unfortunately, the Reading Man does not believe in Fairies or magic. Because of their laws, the Reading Man is deemed unworthy to bask in the gifts of the Fae, and Arion is unable to show himself to the object of his desires. Determination and Unrequited Love outmatch his common sense Arion ignores tradition in favour of shifting the Reading Man's beliefs and earning his love, instead of stealing it.

Whispers in the Dark: Twelve Chilling Tales

We all know of those whispers in the dark, at night when we think we're alone... Join James Boden as they guide you through haunted houses, into the deep sea, on the roadside where something watches you from the woods, and more. Whispers in the Dark is a collection of twelve chilling tales, including "Don't Look" and "Toby", as featured on the Spotify Exclusive Podcast, Scare You To Sleep!

Nightmare Fuel: Twelve More Tales

In “Nani’s Attic”, Samir inherits a terrifying entity from his late grandmother… In “Larry”, young Sophie learns the hard way why it’s best not to go wandering around a campsite at night… And in “Dylan’s Ghost”, Byron discovers that not all ghosts are, in fact, dead. Join James Boden as they guide you through terror after terror in their latest collection—Nightmare Fuel.

A Call of the Sidhe

When ex-cop and amputee Cedric Knight moved to Dóchas, Québec, the plan was peace, quiet, and solitude to cope with his PTSD following a domestic terrorism attack on the job. Before he could even finish unpacking however, the noises began. Cedric anticipated an intruder, or even a haunted house. What he hadn't expected however was to be thrust into another world filled with magic, wonder...and true love.

And then someone slides in beside me.   “Can I sit here?“ he asks, and my eyes snap open.   It’s Cute Bram Greenfeld, of the soft eyes and soccer calves.       I loosen the seat belt to let him in. And I smile at him. It’s impossible not to.

the foxes → andrew minyard

andrew was the foxes’ freshman goalkeeper and their deadliest investment. most of the foxes were self destructive, whereas andrew seemed keen on collateral damage. 

[willskempen]

He will be dead soon, and his honor is all that will remain.  It is his child, his dearest self. Should I reproach him for it? I have saved Briseis. I cannot save them all.
