It's possible my new Halloween-friendly novella, Hornytown Chutzpah's making a Weird Waldo-like appearance this weekend at #WorldFantasy. Okay, it's more of a reference than an appearance, but still find the @atthisarts.com table, ask them about their catalog, and if you find it post a picture.

A crocheted cardigan in the colors of the ace (asexual) flag. Yes, I know it’s upside down; I wanted the purple at the top. A crocheted cardigan in yarn that is variegated in the colors of the asexual flag, with black pockets and collar.

It's that time again. Ace Week! Below are 3 science fiction books with acespec rep for your enjoyment and perusal! I'm only doing 3 per topic, but there are many more books out there. Share your own recs with people. :D

#AceWeek #QueerBooks
An informational graphic. The text reads: Books for Ace Week Day 6: Fairy Tales Fairy tales are near and dear my own heart and they make for fabulous aspec explorations with the question of what makes true love true as well as just people not wanting to get married in the first place. One rule: The rep has to be a major character. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it. The book cover is for: Until the Last Petal Falls by Viano Oniomoh The text reads: Books for Ace Week Until the Last Petal Falls is a powerful, Nigerian queerplatonic retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Eru just wants to find a way to leave his village behind and when he receives a summons from the High Chief’s wife, he may have an opportunity. He also has a chance to reconnect with a boy he’s never forgotten. This forced proximity, platonic soulmates reimagining of a classic fairytale, takes a sharp look at the idea that only romantic love can break a magical curse. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it. The book cover is for: Snow as Soft as Feathers and Other Stories by S.L. Dove Cooper The text reads: Books for Ace Week Snow as Soft as Feathers is the titular retelling of this collection. Through Frau Holle this story looks at different iterations of domestic abuse and contains a sweet asexual romance. This collection contains both retellings and literary fairytales by a demisexual author. Though not all are explicitly acespec in nature, friendship and family are key themes in many of the stories and poems presented. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it. The book cover is for: The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen The text reads: Books for Ace Week The Dragon of Ynys is a cosy fantasy literary fairytale. Sir Violet’s village has a neighbouring dragon. Violet and Snap can normally resolve this just fine, but when a person goes missing, it sparks a quest for the both of them and ask them who they truly are. It’s a delightful novella ideal for fans of Patricia C. Wrede’s Enchanted Forest books. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com

It's the last day of Ace Week. Alas. Below are 3 books with romance tropes and acespec rep for your enjoyment and perusal! I'm only doing 3 per topic, but there are many more books out there. Share your own recs with people. :D

#AceWeek #QueerBooks
An informational graphic. The text reads: Books for Ace Week Day 7: Romance Tropes Romance is easily the biggest genre in all of media. Both alloromantic and aromantic acespec people have their own experiences with dating and relationships different from allos. Today we’re looking at several ways aspec media can play with these tropes. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it. The book cover is for: That Kind of Guy by Talia Hibbert The text reads: Books for Ace Week That Kind of Guy is explicit demisexual romance done well, an incredibly rare feat still in 2025. When Zach agrees to play Rae’s fake boyfriend, he’ll have to find a way to convince her that he’s in it for the long term. Rae’s been hurt before and isn’t about to be hurt again. With a deft eye for detail and description, this contemporary romance is a delight. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it. The book cover is for: Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann The text reads: Books for Ace Week Let’s Talk About Love is a new adult romcom about taking chances. When Alice meets Takumi she can’t stop thinking about it, or wanting to explore a romantic relationship with him despite having sworn of dating. Let’s Talk About Love is a book about trust and the devastating impact of aphobia. It’s the first explicit ace romance that was traditionally published and so full of joy even as the book deals with some pretty heavy topics and starts off with a viscernal depiction of aphobic behaviour from Alice’s soon-to-be ex and the pressure allosexuals can place on aces. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it. The book cover is for: Sweetness Bled and Brindled by S.L. Dove Cooper The text reads: Books for Ace Week Sweetness Bled and Brindled is a grumpy/sunshine fantasy novella. Jewel is an ace prince and absolute cinnamon roll. Briar is a thief who set out to rob the castle vaults and has run into a snag. She’s developed genuine feelings for the prince who was supposed to be her ticket into the walls. When Jewel’s cruel brother pushes too far, Jewel and Briar will have to decide what they want their lives to be. It’s more romance-adjacent than straight-up romance, but the trope is certainly there.
