November is Indigenous Heritage Month here on Interact-IF!
This month, we recognize and celebrate native/indigenous authors, their heritage, and the love they’ve poured into their projects for this community.
Here are our featured authors for this month! Join us in supporting them by checking out their works!
J, author of The Graves of Heirs
Carmine Ehrenreich is the villainess of your favourite series, The Graves of Heirs; the Queen of Apostates, she makes a pact with the elder god Deathe and tears the titular heirs’ lives apart. When the series ends with her death, you assume that’s that in the story of the possessed sorcerer and close the book.
Only problem is after you’re murdered by… something, you wake up to a proposition offered by Carmine herself; she hates the way the series ended and needs your help to change the story. Before you know it you are trapped in the position of the young Carmine in the horrific Ehrenreich Organization to learn the magic that turned her into a villain. Alongside the first of the heirs you must now make your way through a school year beset with magical mishaps, murderous teachers, and monsters that may or may not be hunting you down in the middle of the night.
Will you save the other students, or leave them to their fate? Will you help the heir, organize his death, or take the place of protagonist yourself? Hindsight is twenty-twenty, after all. You know how events are going to happen - what will you do to change the story?

Scott, author of The Watchwood
This is a story about trauma, recovery, and what family always should have been. It’s about the ghosts that linger in your head and learning to live with them. It’s about the people who love you, and how sometimes they have ghosts, too. It’s about moving forward, even when it’s hard, and even when it feels like you’re moving backward.
You are a member of the Grey family. Once, you were a child, and as children are wont to do, you broke the rules. You went somewhere you’d been told not to go, and something very bad happened. Something that has lived in your head ever since.
Your parents took you, and the three of you moved far away from your ancestral home. 22 years later, your grandmother, the Head of the Grey Family, has passed away, and you have all returned home for the first time.
This is what happens next.
