Book 2 Content

Reprogrammed - Book 2 of The Animatronic Saga comes out in 3 weeks!

That being said, what promotional content would you like to see first?

By the way, most of these will probably be done anyway, before, during, or after the book's release. I am just indecisive and also love getting readers' & possible readers' input.

Love you guys! ♥️

Upcoming in 2024: Lockjaw

Chuck Warren died tragically at the old abandoned mill, but Paz Espino knows it was no accident — there's a monster under the town, and she's determined to kill it before anyone else gets hurt. She'll need the help of her crew — inseparable friends, bound by a childhood pact stronger than diamonds, distance or death — to hunt it down. But she's up against a greater force of evil than she ever could have imagined.

Lockjaw is a queer young adult horror, set for release June 4!

When the Hibiscus Falls is a gorgeous set of short stories by M. Evelina Galang about the Filipino and Filipino American experience—from homecomings to escapes and new beginnings, from ancestors and elders to unruly grandchildren. The book deals a lot with rogue people and the way we encounter, recognize, and deal with our heritage.

In "Drowning," a misbehaved, rebellious older sister dies, and the youngest is left with the consequences. In "When the Hibiscus Falls," the protagonist's cousin Mayari has fled in the middle of the Covid pandemic, and Sol arrives in Miami in an attempt to bring her home. In "Fighting Filipina," a young girl grates under the rise of anti-Asian American hatred around her, and is desperate to protect her grandmother from its effects. There are so many kinds of stories in this collection, but Galang really hits on something powerful in how the young cannot escape their heritage, how the old are haunted by the traumas or scars of the past, and how the generations clash and come together and fall apart.

The scattering of Tagalog throughout and Galang's rich language bring the Philippines and the characters of all of her stories into vivid life and character. I enjoyed all of these tales, and I hope that people put this on hold at their local libraries before its June 13 release. This book is massively under-hyped given how excellent the stories here are!

Content warnings for sexual assault (implied & depicted), death, grief, trauma, hate crimes, xenophobia, racism, panic/anxiety.

The Geeky Rom-Com of my Dreams!

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of Mallory Casper's debut novel The Star Next Door. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Trixie is a cosplayer and a giant geek, stuck in a dead-end job while putting her creative dreams on hold to care for her family.

Marty is the geeky, hunky guy who she gets along amazingly with and who she maybe, just maybe is falling for. Oh, and did I mention he's playing her long-time favorite character in a new tv show adaptation of her all-time favorite book series?

The Star Next Door is full of lovable, relatable, down-to-earth characters who will feel familiar to anyone who's been in the fandom scene before. From Trixie's hatred of her day job, to Marty's realistically dark past, from the loving family who supports each other and isn't afraid to tell someone when they're being dumb, to the snarky non-binary best friend who will be the first to tell Trix when she's being dense, to the actors and big names brought to earth and rendered utterly human, all of these characters are treated with love and care by an author who is going to do great things.

This book is charming, witty, funny, and heartfelt from page one. It's a relatable story with a romance that puts it in the realm of the geekiest of wish fulfillment. The chemistry, romantic and otherwise, reads true to life for those of us who know the immediate click, skip-the-small-talk joy of meeting other geeks in the wild. The romance is at the fore but never once overpowers our lead's other connections. The plot and pacing are excellent. There's just enough tension, just enough conflict to keep you needing to know what's next, without ever feeling like you have to slog through too much bad to get back to the good part. The push and pull from our two leads as they figure out their feelings is incredibly well done, and the emotional payoff is well worth every moment you'll spend waiting to see when they'll finally notice the romantic tension and do something about it.

Mallory Casper has crafted an amazing debut novel here, and I can't wait to see what she does next.

Pre-order for the book is available now, the book releases on May 1st, 2024. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

May Booooks! Another absurd month in which there are way too many good books coming out! I'm really excited for a lot of these though Dragonfall and The Scandalous Letters of V and J might be the ones I'm most excited about. I've read a bit of V and J and it is such a good use of the formate and I'm always here for a well done queer historical fiction. I've heard amazing things about Yellowface soooo I'm stoked to read it (also the only book on the list that I don't think has queer rep, but I could be wrong). Oh also in the UK Bitterthorn is coming out, but I can't find a US release date so I'll just. wait for it (if anyone knows a way to get it in the US let me know). Oh and assaians, vampires, multiple dragons, magic and romance. Yeah it looks like a good month.

Any books that you are really excited about that I might have missed?

Dragonfall by L.R. Lam (2nd)

To Shape Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose (9th)

Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko (May 30th)

Yellowface by R. F. Kuang (16th)

Transmogrify!: 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic Edited by Haron Davis (16th)

The Scandalous Letters of V and J by Felicia Davin (16th)

Lesbian Love Story: A Memoir in Archives by Amelia Possanza (May 30th)

Witch King by Martha Wells (30th)

Venom & Vow by Anna-marie Mclemore and Elliott McLemore (16th)

A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger (May 16th)

Hey, where would I find a summary of your upcoming books? And where would I get them? (if you know yet) they sound like they'd be right up my alley and I'd love to support an indie writer

Hi! Thank you for the ask!

THIS is a link to my Amazon Author Page! It has access points to all of my currently published books (and Coaltown, which is in pre-order) in case you're interested!

My upcoming books will be available at the same spot!

As far as summaries for my upcoming books...

Gorehound: sequel to Coaltown, a supernatural creature feature set in the wilds of Alaska, following the hi-jinks of Austin and Andrew as they try to figure out how to deal with the monsters in the mountains. It's a sequel so I don't want to spill too much yet!

SHED: creature feature; when a prank goes totally wrong, Noah finds himself alone on the mountainside, searching for his missing best friend. Unfortunately, finding Hunter is only half the problem. The boy he brings back might not be the boy that went missing. Gorey supernatural creature feature that doubles as a character focus piece on the lengths you'll go for your best friend. there's a lot of cannibalism.

Twice Bitten: sequel to Howl; a family focused story about werewolves in the deep south! In Howl, the McCormick boys struggle with figuring out how to handle Levi being bitten. Now, they have to struggle with the fact that werewolves often bring violence to their doorsteps.

I Drowned In The Summer of 85: supernatural drama! Fifteen years ago, Bobby's summer sweetheart drowned. Now, fifteen years later, Jacob's ghost is back... and he's looking for the swim he never got. Very heavy piece about how grief is often strong enough to create literal ghosts.

Meathook: crime thriller about an FBI agent teaming up with a local detective to try and catch the Butcher, a serial killer causing havoc all over the city. It's a shame that Mercer doesn't totally disagree with the killer's agenda, isn't it?

THIS is my main writing tag too, btw! I sort all of my projects by name so you should be able to just type the title in and get all the info for them in regards to moodboards and excerpts!

Gorehound is part of a trilogy and so is Twice Bitten but the others are all stand alone pieces!

And if any of these catch your eye more, I'm ALWAYS down to chat!

Hera: To Catch a Star

First Look: Chapter 1

For all the lovely people who voted for an early excerpt of Hera: To Catch a Star, I present to you Chapter 1 (below the cut) and I hope you enjoy/get even more excited for its release soon! Be sure to reblog to spread the word!

The sky was a soft azure, dotted with clouds still reflecting the early morning lilacs and blushes and golds cast on them by the suns. There were likely a myriad ships beyond that peaceful atmosphere, gliding amongst the stars and flashing neon lights of spaceports, one step closer to the goddesses who had birthed the galaxy.

But Rynn’s eyes were on the ground: the swaying of young green shoots of grass, the lazy shifting of the tree branches, and the breeze that seemed to link the foliage into the same gentle dance of the day’s beginning. He glanced at the slender deer that pulled his grandfather’s cart and at the garden it was grazing next to that spilled over and out onto the grass. His eyes then drifted to the tiny cottage where he lived with his grandfather.

A small ladybug crawled across his limp hand. Its shell was black, with two prominent spots of red, like drops of blood amongst ink. Rynn stared at it, at the same time noticing how the energy inside of him had grown increasingly frenetic lately. It had first started out as a small fizz, and then sparked up, and crackled and spat so impatiently Rynn felt he could almost hear his veins buzzing.

The ladybug lifted its shell and then its wings carried it away from Rynn’s finger. He stared after it, an uneasy feeling coming to his stomach. He felt the blades of grass bend to caress his neck. The wind seemed to change direction, and it now ruffled his hair and cooled his skin.

He heard footsteps, the crunching of leaves distant but growing nearer.

Suddenly his eyes shot open. Confused, he blinked and rubbed them. Had he been asleep? He had a tendency to grow distant and stare at the woods bordering his home for hours—but this time he snapped out of his trance, even his energy seemed to have shorted.

But he had indeed heard footsteps. His eyes fell from the tops of the trees to his grandfather, who was laden with multiple bulging bags. Rynn sprang up and rushed over to the old man.

Asold Hera had a gray beard, long hair, and something in his eyes: some twinkle that was usually dim, but when Rynn caught sight of it, it seemed as if the old man knew something. The twinkle served to disturb Rynn, but only whenever he detected it.

“What did you harvest?” Rynn took some of the pouches from his grandfather’s arms.

“Tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce… All the excess can be sold in town.” The old man said it with a wary tone and squinted in the midmorning sunlight.

Rynn fumbled with the bags and his eyes caught on the staff tied behind Asold’s back—a staff with a unique head of blades. It was the staff his suspicious, alert grandfather always carried, along with his paranoid demeanor. Rynn could not understand what could possibly unsettle him.

“Grandfather…” Rynn began, stopping as he noticed the twinkle in Asold’s eyes.

They entered the quaint cottage, and the supplies crowded the main room. Rynn’s grandfather removed the long leather jacket covering his everyday robe. He then set to unpacking a few of the sacks’ contents to be washed, his movements a little stiff.

Two bright red tomatoes emerged, along with a bundle of carrots, and Asold headed for the basin.

“Grandfather,” said Rynn again, pausing when Asold glanced at him, “I was wondering if you would let me go into town with you next time.”

His grandfather said nothing and proceeded to wash the vegetables.

“The festival is coming up. You always come back with so many stories. They make me wanna visit more and more every year.”

Asold dropped the cleaned vegetables into a stained iron pot and then looked at Rynn. “We’ve discussed this, boy. The town is not safe, especially during the festival when all those skeptical merchants come in.”

“But you can’t just keep me here forever! Why won’t you let me go into town?” Rynn could sense the routine argument materializing.

“Because you’re young and there are a lot of people there who are…” He seemed to mull over his words before settling on “…trying to hide from the law.”

“I’m not that young,” Rynn muttered, feeling impatient. Asold abandoned the food and walked over to Rynn. “Please, child, if you understood why we live so far away from the town, you wouldn’t ask to leave.”

Rynn perked up. That was as much information as his grandfather had ever betrayed, as close as Rynn had ever come to comprehending the knowing twinkle in Asold’s eyes.

“Now please help me wash these.”

Rynn glanced around and then obeyed, still troubled.

That evening they ate in silence, though Rynn’s mind was loud and chaotic. His extremities tingled and threatened to burn the entire length of his arms and legs. He squirmed in his seat, causing Asold to turn his head.

The old man then glanced at his staff, which was propped against the wall, its blades catching the white light of the rising moons that streamed in through the window.

Rynn’s skin suddenly became clammy, and he stood. He looked at Asold. “May I be excused?”

He only half waited for the man to nod before making his way out of the small house and into the cold night air.

He lifted his head and stared at the empire of blinking stars that had revealed themselves in the cover of night, the domain of the goddesses. He had heard every tale of how the seven sisters, daughters of a star, had made a long journey to the void that was now the galaxy Rynn resided in and each birthed a planet she would protect forever after; he had heard of how they once dwelt amongst mortals and even ruled them as their queens; and yet he never tired of hearing them again, or looking up into the sky and wondering if they were looking at him as well.

His grandfather had taught him he was to be immensely grateful to the goddesses and all of the sacrifices they had made, all of the ambrosial blood—for Rynn had been told it was sweet to taste—their veins had likely shed. When Rynn had asked what sort of sacrifices, Asold only explained that he was too young for such tragedies.

The five moons gazed down at him and cast an eerie light on everything surrounding him. A breeze rustled the trees’ leaves and crept beneath Rynn’s clothes and a chill spread across his flesh. There was a peculiar humming in his ears.

Rynn felt a hand on his back and jumped, startled. He turned to see his grandfather. He deserted the old man and sat on the steps leading up to the cottage’s door. Asold stood close by. No words passed between them, though in the warm light that spilled out from the house’s windows, Rynn could see his grandfather was thinking.

Rynn, too, was thinking. He was confused by his grandfather’s ever-present caution, and had been forever. What was there, really, that Rynn needed protection from? Although he had to admit to himself that he, too, had been uneasy lately. It was as if some great monster lurked in the woods surrounding Rynn and his home, never attacking but always watching.

“I trust you,” Rynn said finally.

Asold stroked his beard. “And it is I who must also trust you.” There was a long pause, then: “I will let you come into town with me for the festival. But only once.”

Rynn could not help the smile that blossomed across his face. He moved to slide off of the steps. Standing, he approached his grandfather.

“Thank you, Grandfather!” He embraced the old man, who stared absently into the sky at all of the stars.

Be sure to reblog to spread the word because the release of To Catch a Star is very very soon!!
