Golden wards are tattooed on the side of his head and back of his hands. He is wearing an elaborate coat covered in silver rocs. A shadow is behind him with many horns and a golden eye.

Elian J. Morgan Princeweaver Adult Romantic Fantasy (April 2026) If Meily was truly honest with himself, intimacy had always terrified him, even as it remained the thing he longed for most. But nothing was ever safe. He was never safe - to be around, or to allow another beyond the walls he had grown around himself; climbers tight to an old farmhouse, shielding even the doors and windows. - (Princeweaver) MAGIC. MARRIAGE. WAR. PRINCEWEAVER ELIAN J MORGAN Rep: PRINCEWEAVER features a queer-norm world, and focuses on a slow burn Achillean relationship between two demiromantic and demisexual leads. (CAUTION: THERE IS EVENTUAL SPICE.) As a queer and demi author myself, being able to explore my own feelings was hugely freeing. I also believe seeing more in-depth representation of different kinds of romantic and sexual feelings is incredibly important, so that no one ever has to feel 'broken, and we can also learn that sometimes we're just waiting for the right person...

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!
A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

AAAAAAAHHHHH THE LAST SOUL AMONG WOLVES COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!

I am not going to promise you one fun non-spoilery teaser fact about this book per like because that way lies madness, but I will keep adding them as long as this post seems to still be getting interest (as time allows)
Cover of THE LAST SOUL AMONG WOLVES, which has golden lanterns and stars and moons on a teal-ish green background, with a big swirly connecting them and a wolf with a lantern in its mouth walking on the swirl, and there's a silhouette of a woman with a sword in one of the lanterns.
