I got an amazing review of The Bite from Dickson Turpin who is an amazing author himself! Thank you for the kind words! 5 stars. The Bite is a clever twist on the post-apocalyptic zombie story. Mitzie uses a ruse to save her life and endangers other survivors. If you like The Walking Dead, The Last Of Us, and Night of the Living Dead, you will love it. Lies have a cost and The Bite proves it. #booksky

The book cover for In Her Regency Era by Alex Winters centered atop a Victorian-era background, surrounded by arrows pointing to various tropes or attributes about the book itself, including: dueling caroling troupes, regency costumes, snarky side characters, age gap, Christmas Eve climax, big caroling competition, opposites attract and banter galore!

Welcome to the synopsis for Erogenous Jones: Private Dicktective! In this story the titular character is a private detective who faces the challenge of turning into a woman for a few days every month. In the main story our new favorite private eye is trying to track down the source of an HRV/ARDS outbreak before more people are infected and a full-scale epidemic hits. (HRV = Human Resurrection Virus. ARDS = Acquired Revenant Deterioration Syndrome, AKA the zombie virus.) He is joined by an eclectic group of friends and allies that includes a Wendigo with a passion for professional wrestling, a necromancer who runs a taxidermy shop, and Mab, former queen of the Fae Folk and current proprietor of local diner Waffle Queen. This neo-noir bizarro fantasy is sure to entertain, titillate, and surprise you at every turn. Plus you’re going to laugh your ass off. I mean, he is a dicktective after all. This neo-noir bizarro fantasy is the perfect book to lift your spirits in trying times. Bold, funny, and highly imaginative, Erogenous Jones: Private Dicktective is a headtrip you'll never forget. Available from Anxiety Press and Amazon. #booksky https://a.co/d/0aO6g4K

When the dead rose, the world was plunged into darkness. Though many people survived and some even thrived, the majority perished and joined the ranks of the undead. But there's hope, in the form of 13-year-old Mitzie Collins, a girl who claims to be immune to the zombie virus (though you shouldn't use the z-word, it's bad luck). Her lie quickly turns fatal to the people she needs most and, in the end, a mission of hope could end in tragedy. Set in the Florida Panhandle, The Bite is a zombie novel like no other!

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Trans werewolves?!? Yes please! THE TRANSITION by @transhorrors.bsky.social is a fast-paced YA werewolf horror, following a trans teen who’s bitten by a werewolf while recovering from top surgery.

It comes out on 11th of September, but you can pre-order it here: proud-geek.co.uk/product-page...
Book cover for The Transition by Logan-Ashley Kisner Blurb: Hunter’s life is at a turning point: After years of fighting his father for it, he’s gotten top surgery. He’s finally starting to feel comfortable in his own skin... only to be attacked by a strange creature in his backyard. The encounter should kill him, but his best friend Gabe intervenes, and Hunter is able to walk away from the incident with his life - and new body - mostly intact. Still, something isn’t right. First, his wounds are healing quickly - too quickly. Then there are the feverish nightmares, the sudden return of his period, and his teeth... they’re falling out of his head. Enter Mars, Hunter’s other best friend. A horror movie devotee, Mars points out the obvious: That mysterious creature was a werewolf, and Hunter is becoming one too - unless they can figure out a cure, which basically means they have to kill the creature that bit him. Now, Hunter, Gabe, and Mars are in a race against time. A voice that could only belong to the creature itself is worming its way into Hunter’s head, and as the days pass, it’s only getting louder. It promises revenge on Hunter’s transphobic peers if he succumbs to his lycanthropic transformation. Or he can reject the monster and fight alongside his friends before the body he’s fought so hard for slips away for good. The choice is Hunter’s.
