#booksky Lines from A Hex To Remember my editor really liked a thread: It groaned under her movement, as if unused to accommodating such awkwardness. - A Hex To Remember by Lou Wilham

Look. I’m not saying I’ve got a quiet romantasy slowly brewing on ye old back burner but I’m not not saying that either. 👀

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.

Learned this is happening right now: wtop.com/local/2025/0...

I told you we’d be back

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.

Check out the newest episode of Trope-ology with guest @louwilham.bsky.social !

It's the first day of Pride! While I and my books are queer all year 'round, from now until the end of the month you can grab all of my books on Itchio for 15$. This includes my novellas (apart from Black Cat which is perma-free on there), and all my series. itch.io/s/154160/lou...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but… I don’t want ai to make art for me. I want it to put away the clothes in the laundry basket I’ve been digging through for the last two weeks.

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...

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!

I was discussing all the research I did into fae lore with another author this morning and realized... a lot of this seems to have spawned from the need for swimming lessons and to leave mysterious women in the woods tf alone?

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! www.louinprogress.com/hunters-of-i...

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.

Sat down to do a post about how long it takes me to write a book from first draft to final edits... and now I'm mad about the AI sh!t all over again. Spoiler alert: it takes me (on the low end) 16 weeks, and I'm considered a fast writer. #authorproblems

Hey #Booksky today is the last day to join the team for @wlspradlingauthor.bsky.social's tour to get an e-arc: forms.gle/XYwMKgwxPQ5p...

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!

Mal has a lot of big feelings, and is very intense... and somehow it works out for him. Got me how. Sage just seems to be into That. If you're looking for a very intense love interest who very much has 🩸 on his hands because someone hurt the one he loves... Mal's your guy! books2read.com/eventide1

It's release day for Whitney L. Spradling's The Last Dragon of Oz! Join the team for @wlspradlingauthor.bsky.social 's tour by Monday March 17 to get an e-arc: forms.gle/6juPq2irzhto...

I mean... it seems to work for Sage, so why not? If you're looking for a cozy fae mafia story where one of the mcs fakes their death, and comes back a few years later and tries to hide... but isn't very good at it? Check out An Offer Fae Can't Refuse: www.louinprogress.com/fae-of-event... #booksky

The other night during my live with Whitney I talked about some of my favorite scenes, and the one where Corey finds out Sage is back in Eventide is... /so/ funny. If you're reading An Offer Fae Can't Refuse, what's your favorite part so far? www.louinprogress.com/fae-of-event...

Went to a used book sale and this is my big find.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
