Time for my favorite gif: #Smutcember

I had the opportunity to ARC read this book and I loved it. it was a captivating mix of navigating young adulthood and friendship / love with a thrilling dash of mystery and horror. #BludeyeBeach #hqpress #books #booksky

You know what would be a super cool gift for your loved ones or yourself for the holidays??? vgen.co/Nushdeco

GET PUMPED FOR THIS BOOK!!! #hqpress #writesky

#Smutcember 2: Very high, no hard-and-fast boundaries, I can enjoy the full no-spice to all-spice spectrum. But I have other criteria. Europa Uni is my attempt to create a high-smut story where sex and kink feel organic, even integral, to the characters, world, and narrative. (1/4)

#Smutcember 2: My spice comfort level is highly contextual, I think as a side effect of my demisexuality. I'm primarily drawn to the emotional aspects of sex, so the more emotionally invested the characters are, the higher my spice comfort level is, and it can be quite high. On the flip side, (1/2)

I am SOOOO excited for this book to enter the world! I just finished reading the ARC recently and literally couldn't put it down, multiple nights up into the wee hours enraptured by the characters and the suspense. You're all in for a treat, I promise! 💜💛

I finished compiling all the beta reader feedback for THE DEVOURING and rewarded myself by making a second set of graphics with their hype/positive comments. I'm really happy so many people enjoyed my story. 🥰 Look forward to it coming out in 2026!

!!!!! i adore the world of bludeye and this crazy gang of meddling kids (age-neutral) 🥰 cannot wait to get my hands on a copy and carry it around like the town crier!!!

I can't recommend this book enough! It was moody, it was mysterious, it was funny and full of heart, and that was just the first chapter. ❤️ Also, there is horror, but it's not too scary. I'm a horror wimp and I still loved this. 😁 #Hook&Quill #BludeyeBeach #Books #Booksky

I am so lucky to be a part of this team of awesome writers (and one cephalopod)! There are so many wonderful things coming your way this year. #Quillbert4Ever #Hook&Quill #WritingCommunity #Books

Hi there! I'm an indie author focusing on serialized stories: fantasy adventure, romance, & the combo of both. I will likely bounce around relationships: - my shipwrecked familiars fantasy romance novella (M/M) - my rock romance/drama long serial (F/M, M/M, tF/NB, tM/F, etc.) Read on for details…

I'm Teresa (they/them) and I write fantasy romance. I'm currently working on a trans mlm dystopian/horror/fantasy romance, but I'll probably talk about several of my other works too where relevant because that book is not very far along yet. #Smutcember

My friends have been working hard on Hook & Quill Press for several months now and I'm very excited to see what they have up their sleeves for 2026! Please consider following them and boosting their efforts! 🐙
