Hey Fam, do you hate Amazon? Would you like to support independent queer publishers/authors? Are you in the mood to read a spicy dark fantasy where the rules-lawyer knight wants his witch captive so badly that he can't function?

Exclusive Cover Reveal: Freedom to Me by Sidney Quinn
Today on the site I’m delighted to reveal the cover of Freedom to Me by Sidney Quinn, an m/m “California Noir Romance” releasing from Ninestar Press on June 16, 2026! Here’s the story: London native Felix Brixton, rich and sheltered, leaves his old life behind on a whim to pursue his dream of running a tall ship tour boat. A mid-life crisis brings him to the small Southern California town of…

It's been a minute! But we're back, with News to report! First, I've had a couple of pieces up on Bloodletter, a gorgeously-made and written magazine for horror and the weird: a short, experimental review of the short, experimental film Barlebas, and an also-experimental story, "Such Hunger As Ours."
(How much do you love the art for that story? The whole issue's art, by Michelle Perez, is incredible!)
As it happens, "Such Hunger As Ours" is the inside-out, guts-first mirrorverse twin to "Many Hands," a story included in the third volume of Weirdpunk Books' zine series Profane Sorcery. If you're interested in a copy, act fast; these zines always sell out!
Next, I have a chapbook available for preorder with the great Bottlecap Press! haunt / ology is short and bittersweet, with a touch of the psychogeographic. Bottlecap Features are lovely handmade chapbooks, and you might find some in bookstores or coffee shops around you. Check out the book page here!
Finally: I'll have a historical sapphic novella out with NineStar Press sometime next year! The Mermaid's Purse features Joan, a mermaid performer who's forced to reconsider her stances on respectability and putting business first when her aunt gets into illicit-abortions hot water and her long-distance cowgirl flame comes back into town. This book is set in the same weird Florida as Little Nothing, but is otherwise unrelated--and centers on a different sort of weird Floridian being... one also born from water.
Cover reveal, release timeline, and ARC info to come!
New book review!
It Begins by Eule Grey (Queer romance/horror)
Cover art by Felix Sadler
“Maybe I’m dangerous.”
It Begins hooked me immediately into its mystery, which manages to be both sexy and creepy. Unreliable narrators Sid and Byron do their best to cling to the men they love in order to escape loneliness, confusion, and the horror behind it all: the ghost of an unloved man, trapped in a room deep in Oxford University. The sex is visceral and so are the scares, and the tension in the book never lets up. The author answers all questions at the end, which I found very satisfying.
Check out It Begins for an exploration of some very unhealthy relationships contrasted with some remarkably good ones: romantic, platonic, and familial. Obsession and possession in the book are both a damning influence and the escape from it, depending on who’s pulling the strings. It’s a murky, frightening, at times disturbing story where anybody who wants a happily ever after is going to have to fight like hell for it.

Like Real People Do is now published with NineStar press!
You can buy it from any of these ebook sellers.
You can get a print copy (warning, pricy) from Amazon or Barnes and Noble or whatever your favorite local bookstore is.
The cover is illustrated by fandom's own @it-is-ineffable who did an absolutely stunning job.
And here's the blurb if you missed it the first time:
Nineteen-year-old hockey phenom Alexander Price is the youngest-ever captain in the NHL. With a polarizing social media presence and a predilection for dirty play, he typifies the stereotype of young, out-of-control athlete. But away from the cameras, Alex is a kid with an anxiety disorder and the expectations of an expansion franchise on his shoulders. And maybe he tries too hard to fit the part of asshole playboy, but it’s better than the alternative; in his line of work, gay is the punchline of an insult, not something he can be.
Eighteen-year-old vlogger Elijah Rodriguez is a freshman in college recovering from an injury that derailed his Olympic figure-skating dreams. Mixed-race, disabled, and out of the closet since he was fourteen, Eli is unapologetically himself. He has no qualms about voicing his disapproval of celebrity jocks who make homophobic jokes on Twitter and park their flashy cars in the handicapped spaces outside of ice rinks.
After an antagonistic introduction, Alex and Eli’s inexplicable friendship both baffles and charms the internet. But navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It’s a lot harder when the world—much of it disapproving—is watching you fall in love with your best friend.
And here's another reminder that my (totally free) Substack is here .
Edit: I got a notice from AO3's Policy & Abuse committee that they received a complaint about LRPD promoting a commercial product. I thought as long as I didn't include direct links to a commercial product I was good, but apparently, I can't even say the word "published" without breaking the rules. Whoops. So if you came from AO3 confused, sorry for the super vagueness!
Heart on His Lead has:
Clueless Dog Sitter + Dog Trainer pairing (m/m romance)
Boutique dog food with a silly name (Chicken and Woofles!)
Cuddles on the couch
Learning his coffee order to win his heart!
An unfortunate attempt at a dog wash booth (listen, they tried!)
A teacup maltese named Sprinkles (come on, what could be cuter?)
You can preorder it here (affiliate link) on Amazon or get it here NOW from Ninestar Press.

You're going to love this book :
Ashley Kingston is a genderfluid university student with a major crush on attractive and charming Nolan. He seems just too perfect to be true. What happens when Ash meets Nolan while dressed as both a man, and a woman? And even more confusing, what happens when Nolan seems enamoured of both versions of Ash? A twisty-turny romance filled with fun and shenanigans.
And it's even #OwnVoices!

Is love the most strategic move of all? Or is it a checkmate?
