The eccentric, soul touching music had turned the area before him into religious ground. He wanted to kneel, and watch. To listen. How could anyone dance, or do anything but listen?

Chapter One of the Gay Pirates is up on the Patreon! I have been having so much fun back with my emotional support characters.
*glances at them covered in trauma and blood*
So much fun. But hey, the found family is kicking off, so there’s that.

Pain had never frightened Novak, a fleeting sensation that only proved the existence of life. So long as there was pain, there was life. He believed there was a saying which echoed this belief. As it was above, so it was below.

Yes, there are at least three other things I could, and should, be working on. However, the serotonin muses call for my Iverbourne loves, and so I have been deep within the reworked manuscript for a couple of days now.
But Noah, isn’t this being rereleased *next* year? Yes, and?
For those of you not familiar, my first book (and series) was a dark steampunk fantasy with queer fae, airship pirates, meddling gods, and a whole lot of found family. As it was my first series, it was incredibly unpolished and there is so much I wish I had done differently, or better. Looking back on it with years of experience under my belt, all I can do is shake my head and get to work.
And so, I’m doing just that. It will be condensed into two (possibly three) books, retitled, and reworked. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to VampStar soon, but for now I need my pirates.
This fella in particular is dear to my heart, his novella was the first gay book I wrote, and he goes through a world of love, hurt, and healing before finding peace.

The Voice of Wild Places hardback is here ! Big thanks to Crossroad Art for illustrating the cover, and inside art of the fellas clasping arms while trapped under the water. And to Benedetta Massaro for the rest of the inner illustrations!
You can get it signed through my bookstore, or direct through Ingram.
Did you know a couple of my books are available in audio?
Phantom and Rook is an urban fantasy set in a solarpunk world and follows two soulmates who have been separated by time and mystery.
The Rebel Foxes is a dystopian fantasy set in an underground world and follows a mutant shifter as she works to keep her pack and partners safe, and falls in love with the enemy as she plans to take it all down.
Keep an eye out for the third audiobook of mine coming out soon 👀
There’s a new short story on the Patreon! This is a contemporary story about a trans man selling maple syrup at the farmers market, and the shy questioning guy who shows up to buy syrup for his mother.
Members can read it, or you can buy it as a one shot! It’s a sweet story, a little under 7k and a bit self indulgent. If you’re local, you may know exactly where this story was inspired by.
Phantom and Rook is a queer urban fantasy romance following a retired hedge witch and a mysterious immortal that is cursed to be forgotten by all those who know and love him.
We have found family, magical tattoos, starting over later in life, and lots of healing. It is the first in a series, a toe dip into the magical world of Levena and all of its mysteries.
Phantom and Rook’s ebook is free at (most) of your favorite retailers, and is also available in paperback and audio.
The sassy new professor who loves to show skin and has a bit of an attitude problem, Proteus Xlato is unlike any of the love interests we’ve encountered in Levena thus far. I am thoroughly enjoying the catty dynamic between our grumpy vampire, and this new mysterious new professor.
I am back to indulging myself with this grumpy vampire and his newly appointed rival, my favorite sassy star.
Mochizuki and Xlato is the story of When A Vampire Falls in Love With a Star, and involves an overambitious professor and the mysterious stranger determined to upend his life.

Can you guess which first line goes with which book? This should be a breeze for those of you that have read my books, but you never know 👀
Also the first lines for the anthologies are for my stories only, not for the anthology itself.
We return to the magickal world of Levena this year with a sassy star and their grumpy vampire. You do not need to have read the first two books to read Mochizuki and Xlato as it focuses on a different couple, but it helps with the 🌜lore🌛
For reading this year, it’s almost indie all the way for me. There are quite a few I have been wanting to get to, and some that I’ve started and need to finish. Especially the ones already on my shelves.
