Oh, Amazon. Ordered Black Friday phones, got chocolate. Why, oh, why isn't there a scam/fraud/theft button in your list of automated responses. And why do your human staff need 48 hours for the system to accept a problem? Don't you CSI? Gotta act fast to catch a crook.

📚✨ Guess who's back, witches? ✨📚

For Nilla Hayes, being a witch isn’t all fun and games. 🕯️ Not with a stalker from the veiled world and creepy shadow keys threatening those she loves.

My UF Witchlight books are only $0.99 at the moment; prequel, 1st book, & the 2nd is up for pre-order. (LUSTRE, BUMP, FLICKER)

If you fancy a sapphic witch with a coffee-and-sweet tooth, who loves those werewolf girls, & gets bad-ass with trouble, give Nilla a try. books2read.com/Jaime-Munn/

Hey, you got trouble, honey? Monster trouble? Then you gotta meet Dixie. She's a monster hunter; by day, at least. Don't call at night. She's busy! (P.S. she keeps the super spicy stuff for the bedroom; no Dixie does New Ys on the page....) books.jaimemunn.com/dixie

Halloween is the perfect time of year to read Roots of Corruption, set during Samhain, when ancient magic runs wild in Old London. Yannia and Karrion race against time and mounting odds to catch a killer. Is Lady Bergamon a victim or a villain?

Halloween is ever closer, so why not read about creepy fey cats? Or a house that may or may not be haunted? Or a ballet that is VERY DEFINITELY cursed?

The story with kelpies eating people is a palate cleanser, I promise.

S.L. Dove Cooper @dovelynnwriter.bsky.social · Oct 25

It’s the long weekend before Halloween where I am, so what better time to pick up a short story collection?

He Must Go Walk the Woods So Wild has a combo of cosy and darker fantasy stories.

Available at most big retailers!
AMZ: www.amazon.co.uk/He-Must-Walk...
Payhip: payhip.com/b/ZzIVt

He Must Go Walk the Woods So Wild by S.L. Dove Cooper promo graphic. Book contains: asexual Red Riding Hood, a dog named Kitty (don’t worry the dog is fine), kelpies (they eat people), literary fairy tales (actually not creepy), creepy forests, creepy ballets, baby dragons (also parenting), The Little Mermaid but it’s a text adventure (sort of), and more!!!

Brittany M. Willows 🐝🍁 BUY MY QUEER CATBOY BOOKS

@bmwillows.bsky.social

🎉 400+ FOLLOWERS APPRECIATION GIVEAWAY 🎉

As a welcome and a thank you, I'd love to do a little flash giveaway! Simply repost this for a chance to win a digital set of my anime-inspired YA urban fantasy duology (BLOODY SPADE + BLEEDING HEART) ♠️♥️♦️♣️

Ends tomorrow at 8pm EST!

A promotional graphic featuring 3D mock-ups of Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart's, surrounded by a list of tropes/themes that appear in the Cardplay Duology. Text reads: Abundant hurt/comfort, inky body horror, hot-tempered fire wielder, bird girl with plant magic, a celestial deity with a penchant for murder, a budding QPR, returned magic, slow-burn romantic subplot, asexual panic, monsters born from malice, softhearted scythe-wielding girl, snarky cat-eared thief. Bloody Spade's cover depicts a black silhouette of a short-haired cat-eared boy with a glowing purple spade in front of him. Bleeding Heart's depicts a white silhouette of a girl with deer antlers and long flowing hair with a glowing heart in front of her.

A graphic image featuring the back cover description for BLOODY SPADE, which reads:

The era of magic was thought to be a myth until the Reemergence unleashed powers both dark and light upon the mundane world. Now those touched by this strange magic—a specialized group of Empowered dubbed Jokers, known collectively as Cardplay—must defend their world from the malevolent forces that threaten to consume it, all the while fighting for equality in a society clinging to normalcy.

But the Reemergence was only the beginning.

When another influx occurs on the seventh anniversary of that fateful event, a clash at ground zero lands Iori Ryone, a teenage boy in possession of a corrupt legendary magic, in the care of recent Joker graduate Ellen Amelia Jane. From him, she learns the Reemergence may not have been the unforeseeable natural disaster it first seemed.

Someone is behind these incidents, and with the criminal organization Blackjack as the prime suspect, it's up to Cardplay to find out what they're planning and stop them before it's too late.

A digital drawing of two characters from the waist up. On the left is Ellen, a slender fair-skinned girl with scarlet eyes, rosy cheeks, long white wavy hair, and a pair of small deer antlers, wearing a purple halter top. On the right is Iori, a cat-eared boy with crimson eyes, a light warm complexion, black-painted nails, and short tousled black hair wearing a sleeveless turtleneck shirt. His arm is reaching around Ellen, and she's touching his face, their cheeks pressed together. Both are smiling cheerfully.

I newslettered.

Today @traumbooks.bsky.social published my debut high fantasy novel MAEJ.

I couldn’t be prouder to put work out with such a fine press.

Read this! ↓↓↓↓

dalestromberg.substack.com/p/the-seldom-8

Background image: The cover of MAEJ, a high fantasy novel. The cover art looks like it has been carved or sculpted. In the upper left, a whirlybug flies over a tentslum. In the upper right, a gryphon sits regally. The bottom half shows a frieze of five women. In the centre, two lines of text: Dale Stromberg, MAEJ.
Text: The Seldom, №8. A Mæjish Arrival. If it is indeed true that life is a journey and not a destination, then how to explain the fact that Maej… has… ARRIVED!?

Hi, new skootuals! I’m an Egyptologist by training, writer by vocation. I probably talk about my debut novel too much. Giant nerd about Egyptology, 1930s American pop culture, & the history of spiritualism. Will happily talk your ear off about PG Wodehouse, Cab Calloway, or Gef the Talking Mongoose.
