Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

🖤✨ COVER REVEAL ✨🖤

Of Blood & Aether’s stunning cover was designed & illustrated by K.D. Ritchie at Story Wrappers, and I've been losing my mind over how perfect it is. The vibes? Immaculate. 

This dark fantasy romance debuts on April 17, 2024!

🌙: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR4GV6DD
A 1:1 square graphic of the cover reveal for Harper Hawthorne's upcoming debut dark romantasy novel, "Of Blood & Aether". The cover features a large, ornately carved raven's skull against a deep, wine red background. Behind the skull appears to be a dagger with a golden hilt, and wrapped around the skull are green and gold vines with small leaves and red, rose-like flowers. The title in the center reads "Of Blood & Aether" in white text, with curling flourishes.

Happy #1linewed from the Star Eaters babies — ☆
They clung to him without meaning to, but this time they were painfully aware of the fact that is was them who was making that move, it was them closing that distance. Ezra was solid against them. He was earth. Holding onto him kept them tethered there, kept them from sinking below.

i'm harper hawthorne!!

I write dark, romantic fantasy, romantasy, paranormal romance, and more. I love writing about the darker, more intense, and less palatable sides of a love story.

my current writing goal is to get a zero draft of my new pnr wip done by the end of 2023 🖤

Since the container is smaller:

✨I want to find other writers✨

Tell me who you are, what you write, why you love it and a writing goal 👁️

#WRITINGQ: last line of your first chapter or prologue (published or wip!!)

NIGHTMARE WIP:

But I do 𝘴𝘰 enjoy the sounds you all make when you shatter.

HARBINGERS (B1):

"Even you."

HARBINGERS (B2):

The simple brown paper that it had been wrapped in was now a deep crimson, soaked in blood.

A text snippet over an image of an outstretched hand against a mirror. "If Harlowe Graves were to break, it would be by my hand. I could only hope to liberate myself, once and for all, before she shattered into divine dust. "

unsurprisingly, nightmare wip is the paranormal romance in question

in the last 27 days (aka when I officially put harbingers, book one on ice), I have bounced between 3 different projects and have written something close to 60k words between ‘em all.

but I’m really enjoying nightmare wip, here’s hoping I can stick to it for a bit!! 🤞🏼

Do y’all like, sometimes act out the scene you’re writing a little bit? Like, miming the dialogue and making the facial expressions to check that it feels organic or to figure out how to describe it? I catch myself doing it without thinking then it’s like -look into the invisible camera moment 😳-
