It's Juneteenth and Pride Month, so this is a good enough time as any to do some book shilling.

Hi! My name is A.M., and I write queer black urban fantasies and paranormal romance novels.

Check the 🧵 below. (And all my books are on KU, so they're practically ✨free✨)

It feels good to get back into the swing of posting snips.

TFW the magical being you share a body with sexually harasses you and just plain harasses your boss. 💀

From the Dr. Jekyll Loves Mr. Hyde WhyChoose WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting
A crack appeared in my boss’s coffee cup, and his coffee sloshed all over his bright white shirt. Was that me? Or Valentine? Or both? I didn’t know. I didn’t want to know. Either way, if it ever got traced back to me, I was cooked. Toast. Done. 165 degrees. I swallowed. “Are you okay? That had to be hot.” Quiet laughter echoed in my ears. Well, that answered that question. Mr. Ackerman grimaced, then left me alone. You’re going to get me fired! Do you want to be living on the streets? I think we could swing it. Well, I don’t. Now let me work. Fine, fine… You’re cute when you’re all flustered like that. Don’t call me cute. I blew out my cheeks, then turned back to my computer. I’m not cute. His presence swirled around me, and I shuddered. Beautiful? Gorgeous? Lovely? Ugh. And here I was, getting sexually harassed by the demon in my head. I’d have to ask Victor if there was a way to tune him out. He rested his hands on my shoulders, and I stiffened slightly. Do you mind? I do. And I spent the rest of the morning with him watching me code silly little minigames for children.

Hi, Booksky! Today's my birthday, so I've discounted some of my books. 🥳

The first books in Call Your Name, Fallen Justice, and Their Harbinger of Darkness are 99 cents until the 10th! (I would have done 33 cents, but Amazon only goes down to 99.😞)

I finished the Sad Magical Boys WIP, so I'm now moving on to planning for my shiny new not-NaNoWriMo project, which I'm tentatively calling the Dr. Jekyll Loves Mr. Hyde WIP.

So yeah, this week's goals are to do some worldbuilding and character development!

This was from right after Devontae's parents learned he was a magical boy.

From the Sad Magical Boys WIP.

#LGBTQWriteAThon #queerwriters
“I don’t like it,” Momma said. “You can’t do this! You’re going to get hurt, and you’re my baby boy, I can’t—” “Momma,” I said softly. “I have to. I was chosen.” I took a deep breath. “And I know you’re scared—to be honest, I’m scared too. But I have to do this.” She went quiet. The rest of our meal went by in an awkward silence, and I spent most of the time zoned out and talking to Oliver, my appetite all but gone.

Didn't have hat, so I went with tiara.

TFW you try to wake up your queen/goddess/magical mentor from her eternal sleep...

From the Sad Magical Boys WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting
I glanced up at her. She still seemed to be asleep, but the bruises on her hands and cheeks had faded. The eternity symbol on her forehead shone brightly, and she was glowing with magic. A small pink tiara had appeared in her hair, and her staff and dress looked more ornate than ever. She truly did look like the magical queen—the magical goddess—she was.

Lottery came up once. (which is weird, I didn't think there'd be any.)

Later on in the book, Devontae asks Chandra if there's any futures where the sad magical boys succeed, and they say a few. (Not particularly reassuring.)

From the Sad Magical Boys WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting
I see, she said. I’m glad. We’re going to succeed. I promise. She really shouldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep. I swallowed down what I wanted to say. We didn’t know what would happen in the future. Well, Chandra might, since time was their whole thing. Maybe they could time travel. I’d have to ask them for the lottery numbers next time we met.

Only one instance of total in this entire 92.1k WIP, which is weird. Coulda sworn there were a couple totallys in there.

Devontae did get taken away by a pink haired woman (Chiemeka) but it wasn't kidnapping. 😂

From the Sad Magical Boys WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting
When I got inside, it was a complete and total mess. Jeffrey and Camille were blubbering about how a pink haired woman kidnapped me, Elijah was screaming, Momma had fainted and Dad was fanning her, and Auntie Julia looked like she was going to have a stroke. “I’m fine,” I said quietly, then sat on the couch next to Camille. “I just went for a walk to go see the sunrise, get some air…” “Something’s weird here, and I’m going to figure it out,” Auntie Julia said. “Rose and Dennis have been acting like you’re gonna disappear, Camille claims she saw some pink haired woman in the house, and…” She narrowed her eyes, and I stared at my shoes. “Devontae,” she said, her voice low and even. “Tell me the truth. What’s going on?” “I’m not crazy,” Camille muttered. “I know I’m not crazy. There was a woman, Black, with pink hair, and she took Devontae somewhere. Right, Jeffrey?” He gave her a feverish nod.

AITA for letting my leader get the shit kicked out of him?

I (M21) am a magical boy along with three others (M22, M21, M21), and our leader's been pissed at another magical person (NB ??) for the past month. We finally let him fight them, he got rekt, and now he's mad at us.

Didn't have gradient, so I went with rainbow.

Whole lotta rainbows in this book, but I decided to pick the one where Devontae accidentally shows the person he likes his magical form. Whoops. (Alejandro ripped him a new one after this.)

From the Sad Magical Boys WIP. #WIPSnips #amwriting
I brandished my bracelet, then cried, “Kingdom of Eternity! Give me your power!” In a dazzling display of rainbow lights, I transformed. “What the fuck?” someone cried. I whipped around, swearing under my breath. It was Shae. They were staring at me—at us—like we were aliens. “Devontae? Wait. Creepy McWeeb? Oliver? What is going on? Why are you dressed like that…” They trailed off. “Shae, I’m sorry,” I said quietly, then turned to the others. “Let’s go.” And we all launched ourselves into the air. I swallowed again. I’d just have to hide for the rest of the week. Or month. Or year. Granted, spring break started in a week, and as long as I could sneak around, take my finals, and make my way to the Amtrak station without Shae seeing me, I’d be able to get away with this. Hopefully.
