So the biggest thing I tell people when they ask me for advice about writing is this: find your people.

Writing is solitary. It’s just me and the voices in my head. But being an author is about community, and I’ve found mine.

Who me?!

Surprise! I designed Lou themed shirts for myself and my crew at events.

If anyone is interested in snagging one I will be offering them through my beventi at some point.

I want to thank everyone who came out for the @gburgbookfest yesterday, both new and returning readers alike. I had so many awesome conversations. These events are the hightlight of the year. Getting to talk to readers makes the days alone behind my keyboard worth it.

All set up and ready to go at table 14 at the Gaithersburg Book Festival. Stop by and see me and S.J. Lee #booksky

Will I have these stunning hardbacks (and more, there's always more) with me this weekend at @gburgbookfest? Yes. Yes, I will.

And remember kids, you can only grab these beauties from me in person at events!

Not sure about the weather for this weekend, but I'll be at @gburgbookfest with all my books in tow!

Stop by and see me and @sjleewriter on Saturday for some awesome queer books, yummy snacks (last year they had a food truck that did fresh made donut holes), and lots of fun! #bookthreads

Look I'm not saying that you might want to listen to these songs on repeat while you read the Hunters of Ironport series. But I'm not not saying that either. 👀

What songs would you add to this playlist?

So after the whole Thing last weekend, one of the amazing authors from AML created a landing page to provide everyone with our information. If you're looking to help some authors out after what happened check us out: www.indieauthorconnect.com/a-million-li...

Guys. Guys. Guys! There's a proposal in this one. 😱

It's cover reveal day for A Hex To Remember!

Rus and Az are finally getting serious about each other, but can they make it through the centennial celebrations in Moondale unscathed? Well... only time will tell! #booksky

Signed copies of An Offer Fae Can't Refuse are now available in my Etsy shop! 😱 www.etsy.com/listing/1901...

Look I'm not saying you've got to love my boys as much as I do but... I mean you probably will.

And everyone's got their favorite. Who's yours?

Now is a great time to caught up on Hunters of Ironport before K!ll Your Darlings drops, and pre-order a copy. 😉 www.louinprogress.com/hunters-of-i...

Bit of a lighter month reading wise because of revisions, but here's the books I finished in March!

p.s. I'm also still reading Odder Still and hope to have that finished this week.

Jace, ostensibly human, charming, beautiful, golden boy. He's literally just here for funsies, and because he wants to get in Valeska's good graces, and maybe also her pants. Let's not judge the golden retriever. He's doing his best alright?
March 28, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Valeska, a vampire with too many degrees and zero need for people. Working on her PhD in haunted objects when her mentor (previously Bat's mentor, look, shit's messy ok?) comes to her with an opportunity to get some field experience that will put her a cut above the rest? Well. Who is she to say no?
March 28, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Bat: disgraced witch. Thrown out of university—and by extension magic society—for demonology. Spent the last 15ish yrs avoiding polite "magical society", minding her own fucking business, thank you very much. Solves minor hauntings, and sells "haunted tours" to rich assholes.

Something new is coming to The Bay of The Dead ‘verse. 👀👀👀👀

History Will Call Them Tombmates is if like you mashed The Mummy with Supernatural with The Librarians with Ghost Adventures. But you know… make it very queer. 😏

Meet the cast below!

The boys are back in town!

We're just a few weeks out from the release of K!ll Your Darlings so if you've been meaning to get caught up on the Hunters of Ironport series, and see what's up with these pretty boys, now would be the time!

I'm not writing aliens, but someone at MTP is!

That somebody is @aestueve.bsky.social and the nostalgia on this cover art is just . . . amazing. Can't wait to grab it for my collection.
March 25, 2025 at 6:04 PM
And now this tom-f*ckery.
March 20, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Going on vacation threw me all off on my @midnighttidepub.bsky.social cover reveals and releases so here’s everyone I missed!

Hi #booksky, a note as I gear up for event season: please utilize my Beventi pre-order forms: beventi.co/author/LouWi...

As I have three events in quick succession, I'm not going to be able to afford stock of every title for every event, using the pre-order forms means I'll have your book there!
