It’s Aromantic Awareness Week, so move over, Valentine’s Day, romance is dead. As an aromantic, it’s officially my time to shine, and I’m putting my aromantic vampire novel, Blood On A Yellow Rose, in the spotlight! To celebrate Aromantic Awareness Week, Blood On A Yellow Rose will be going on sale for 99¢ from now until February 22nd! Blood On A Yellow Rose is a story about aroace vampires, 2000s nostalgia, punk rock, and relationships demonised by society, such as queerplatonic and polyamorous relationships. On sale now on Amazon, and free to read on Kindle Unlimited!

I Got Abducted By Aliens And Now I’m Trapped In A Rom-Com was one of the most unhinged and hilarious things I’ve read in a while. It had me giggling and laughing like a mad woman the entire time I was reading! I loved the absolute absurdity that seemed to follow Dory around on this alien planet. All she wanted was to get back home to her research, but instead she found aliens, dinosaurs, talking lion, and not one but two mates who can shoot fireballs from their tails. And I have to give kudos for the (mostly) good natured competitiveness between Lok and Sol (Dory’s mates). They were hilarious with trying to one up each other every chance they got. They had me giggling so much! This was such a fun read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one. I Got Abducted By Aliens And Now I’m Trapped In A Rom-Com is getting a solid four stars from me!
2026 Reading Challenges:
Romance Readathon: “romance” in the title, at least 5 colors on the cover
PS: if you like Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series or Jurassic Park, you’ll probably love this! 😊
Thank you so much to Allen & Unwin for sending me a copy of this one. All thoughts are my own.
This was an INCREDIBLE end to this trilogy. I was absolutely hooked the entire time, desperate to find out what would happen next.
I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to spoil the whole series. But this is an absolute masterpiece and I highly recommend you read it.
Every ending is so rewarding, every battle, every loss, all of it lead to that incredible ending and I feel so satisfied. I especially love where the romance plot ended up - what a gift!
This recommendations post for Trans Rights Readathon is brought to you by books we already had in our library and it got a little out of hand! We decided first to break things down by other rep in case that was helpful for folks. We have another post planned breaking things down by genre as well, so stay tuned! With series, we only include the first book in the series to keep our stacks slightly more manageable!
As far as we know, the authors here are out as trans / nonbinary / genderqueer. Please don't be a dick and try to force authors who happen to write trans characters to out themselves! We did our best on rep breakdowns, but please let us know if we misfiled anything since we haven't read everything yet.
Trans, Nonbinary & Genderqueer Rep
Pet by Akwaeke Emezi
The Sacrifice by Rin Chupeco
An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows
Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White
Thicker Than Blood by Sera Quim
Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender
A Bone in His Teeth by Kellen Graves
The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
Junker Seven by Olive J. Kelley
Godly Heathens by H.E. Edgmon
The Flowered Blade by Taylor Hubbard
You can find more recs for Polyamory Rep, Sapphic / wlw Rep, and Achillean / mlm Rep all written by trans authors under the cut!
Polyamory Rep
An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows (Poly-normative world build, though I'm not 100% sure if there are any major polyamorous relationships)
Thicker Than Blood by Sera Quim (MMM with a trans masc protagonist)
Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender (M/M/genderfluid? Trans masc main character and a love interest who regularly uses alchemy to change their gender)
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao (MMF)
SPECTR by Jordan L. Hawk (Whole series is M/M/genderless demon sharing a body with the main character. Volume 1 is being rebound which is why Volume 2 is pictured)
Mistress of Lies by K. M. Enright (From what I can tell MMF, but this is one of the few we haven't read yet)
Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco (MMF but Gabe would like me to convey that the most important part of the dynamic is that it's dom/sub/dom)
Please feel free to ask for more info on these especially, at least one of us have read most of these (and the few we don't are high up on our reading list for the week.)
Sapphic / wlw Rep
We have been building our sapphic library but apparently need to focus on more sapphic romance written by trans authors specifically! Here's what we do have (with some real gems we love). We tried to aim for all of these having the main romance be sapphic!
Gwen & Art are Not in Love by Lex Croucher
The Dead Take the A Train by Cassandra Khaw & Richard Kadrey (Book 1 in a duology)
Providence Girls by Morgan Dante
The Fall That Saved Us by Tamara Jerée
Time and Time Again by Chatham Greenfield
An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows (I think this is a completed duology!)
Junker Seven by Olive J. Kelley (This is getting a sequel!)
Achillean / mlm Rep
This category ended up being...quite large. It really goes to show you just how many more gay books by trans authors have come out in the last few years! Okay, strap in, here we go:
Captive Prince & Dark Rise by CS Pacat (Captive Prince is a completed triology and Dark Rise will be a trilogy)
Thicker Than Blood by Sera Quim
How to Bite Your Neighbor & Win a Wager by D. N. Bryn
Prince of Sorrows by Kellen Graves (Book 1 of the Rowan Blood series, which currently has 4/8 books out)
A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows (Book 1 of the completed Tithenai Chronicles duology)
Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender (Book 1 of the Infinity Alchemist series)
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao (Book 1 of a triology with 2/3 books currently out)
SPECTR by Jordan L. Hawk (18 connected novella length stories collected into what should soon be 6 volumes if you want them physically! Each novella is one case!)
So This Is Ever After, Spell Bound, Otherworldly, & In Deeper Waters by FT Lukens (Each is a complete stand alone romance!)
Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco (Book 1 of the completed Reaper duology)
“Then we died trying, and the only regret I’ll have is that I didn’t find you sooner.”
“I don’t want to lose you. You’re the only thing I’ve ever wanted."

@gagakumadraws struck again! She's offering 'your character here' commissions, and there was a certain pose that immediately had me thinking of *them.* You can read about the T4T chaos in The Rebel Foxes, and meet the rest of the shifter family.
Happy 4 year Anniversary @bashfulbutcher !! Living with you the past two years has been amazing. I love the way you love me and Scott and always know how to make me feel better when I'm going through it. I'm so lucky to get to love and be loved by you!
Our anniversary also marks the anniversary of our triad with @deadpoolology !!
I'm so grateful to know you both and my life completely changed for the better the day(s) you both walked into my life. I love how safe and secure I feel in this relationship and that we can talk about and get through anything together. You've both taught me so much about love and communication! Love you nerds!!
Seven deadly sins was so cool!👌❤🌟 I love your guys lighting and tones for the scene! Can't wait for more! Also are those 3 characters in a relationship? Just curious cause im oblivious to things sometimes :,)
Boy, howdy, I’ve kept you all waiting for my aroace vampire novel for a lot more than a hot minute, haven’t I? But, I am thrilled to share that Blood On A Yellow Rose is finally available on Amazon! Oh, and it’s on Kindle Unlimited, so if you have that, you can read it for free! But enough of my yapping, if you’re in the market for a book about aroace vampires, and 2000s punk rock nostalgia, get your copy of Blood On A Yellow Rose now!
