#WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters #WIP #writesky
Beaumont Ivarson never wanted a high-profile job. She had her bakery, her friends, and her partner all safe and protected in their corner of Queensreach. Yet, as it so often does for those who wish harder than anything for it not to be so, life had other ideas. Such as Beau taking over as Warden of the city. After killing her predecessor. To be honest, though? Alfie had it coming. Now, keeping the supernatural community hidden under the eyes of Queensreach's human citizens falls on her shoulders. Sometimes you burn a few biscuits, a few bridges, and despite your best efforts that bad taste comes back to haunt you. Winter draws on. Shop orders and ghosts from the past creep closer. All of this, and Beau and her girlfriend Essie haven't even finished moving into their new place, yet. It’s going to be a hell of a housewarming party.

Hello, friends! Time for one more announcement...and it's a big one!
Hook & Quill Press will be releasing its first book in early 2026. It's a love story wrapped in a supernatural horror wrapped in family drama...

A teasing little "number" for this Sunday's #WIPSnips:
A flash of shimmering red caught my eye, and I tugged at it to reveal a garnet-colored gown, the kind of basic slinky number made of stretchy, bouncy synthetics that wouldn't wrinkle when shoved unceremoniously into a duffel bag. I had forgotten I'd packed it, back when I thought these diplomatic sessions might have more evening socials and fewer nights climbing through ductwork to prevent our eventual murders.

I can feel the steam on this WIP bottlenecking and either I've gotten into my own head or there's an itty-bitty cork in a section I need to wiggle out OR the dreaded "it's both hoss ☹️"

Essie I love you what's *happening*

Hey, guess what else: Preorders are officially open for THE HOWLING DARK, my scifi fantasy novel about fugitive werewolf brothers on a perilous journey home across a post-apocalyptic landscape! 🐺🌓

PREORDER: amazon.com/dp/B0G1KFVKVM
ADD ON GR/SG: thehowlingdark.carrd.co
Kindle pre-order promo graphic for THE HOWLING DARK, coming mid or late 2026. Centered in the graphic is the placeholder cover for the book, featuring the protagonist looking with a neutral expression into the camera, holding a spear. He's backlit and framed by leafless branches. He is a 22-year-old white man with long black and white hair, one brown eye and one blue, and a scar over his left eye. He's wearing a parka with a fur-lined hood over a tan sweater. Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, he’s grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want?In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything.Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from. And when a peculiar turn in Sylvain’s health brings to light an ugly truth, someday becomes now—whether Sylvain is ready for it or not.Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planet’s surface, pursued by the government and bloodthirsty huntsmen, and under the unexpected guidance of the rebel Sundogs. All that lies between them and home is miles of unfamiliar countryside, toxic wastelands, a parasitic garden of death . . . and the question of how much they’re willing to risk in order to get there.

Happy #WIPSnips 4 - Steel!

From BLUDEYE BEACH. What in the Resident Evil --
The windows were covered with plywood, leaving a single red light bulb as the only illumination in the room. Sickly shadows hovered over steel counters and a narrow table. A row of computer screens stood along the left counter, filing cabinets underneath. On the right counter sat a tool box, and unfamiliar medical instruments hung on the wall. Compared with the rest of the fairly shabby apartment, everything in here looked new and updated.

Thanks again for this event! This Halloween-flavored #LGBTQWriteAThon was a lot of fun, and I'm eagerly awaiting Valentine's-flavored. 😎 /j

That said, already hyped this, I know, but it's Halloween, so why not read a story about grief and demon summoning? jaxwolffwrites.beehiiv.com/p/the-infini...

When an inept teen monster hunter goes undercover to a prestigious college, he's horrified at how he's the only thing between its students and death. Failing to find his power, he instead finds an ally in a girl with powers she shouldn't have...who he shouldn't be falling for.
