Well — if Itch.io is gonna force NSFW creators into obscurity, here's a reminder that you can find all my books on Smashwords.

It's an old market, sir. But it checks out.

#SpoonieAuthChat

I’ve got 3 paranormal romance books out about a bisexual shifter poly quad taking down a power-hungry tyrant. Ya know. Just in case you’re in the mood for that for some reason.

Mental health and neurodivergent rep — the FMC manages spoons, too!

www.amazon.com/The-Blood-of...
The book on the left is green and the silver letters say Born Anew in Blood. Four red claw marks are behind the letters. The book in the middle is magenta with the silver letters, reading Bound by Ancient Blood. A broken sword with vines wrapping around it is behind the letters. The book is on the right is blue and the silver letters say Penance Paid in Blood. A goblet crashing to the ground and spilling its contents is behind the letters. Author is Maria J. Hart

Pride month might be almost over, but there's still time to grab this itch-io bundle! 18 authors and 18 books, all courtesy of the Indie Book Spotlight Discord!

If you're still on the fence: yes, you do in fact need more queer books in your TBR.
