Interacting meant talking, and eye contact. I could already feel my performance capacity dropping.

Please buy books that are coming out this year. Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

This book is out now!

THE DEMON OF BEAUSOLEIL is out TODAY!!! Wherever books are sold! ❤️🖤😈 It’s about if Sherlock Holmes was a gay demon exorcist, if you care…

Between watching Heated Rivalry and listening to Sorcery and Small Magics, I figured it was time to compose a list filled with rivals who love to bicker and work to a common purpose, and love each other. Eventually, after all the bickering.

I loved The Wolf and His King by Finn Longman. It's a beautifully written queer romantic fantasy that comes out next week. A slowburn werewolf!knight/king romance with stunning prose. I could see this being one of my favorites of the entire year! 🌈💜💙📚🌈📚 pagesandpothos.blog/post/8064514...

3 books at once right now but currently digging this one about a lesbian vampire hunter falling for her vampire roommate. It has a real Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibe!

new pinned post! hellooooooo I'm E (she/they) the #author of THE LORD OF THE WOOD (@hanoversquarepress.bsky.social, 2026) and THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS (MIRA Books, 2025), as well as various short stories check out my links below!

NEWS! My next book, TRANSLUNAR, about a closeted trans woman who's an astronaut in the sixties, is coming out in fall 2027! It'll be on Wildthorn, Tor's brand-new general fiction imprint -- a dream, as it lets me work with @englelaird.bsky.social on my literary and historical fiction as well as SFF.

We are pleased to announce Wildthorn Books, a new imprint from Tor Publishing Group:

It's a weird time to be trying to release a book in the US for the first time, but I guess we all need some medieval werewolves and queer yearning amidst The Horrors? Anyway, it's only a week until THE WOLF AND HIS KING comes out in North America, and the NA edition is VERY pretty:

Aw, thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it!! The new edition is coming out later this year from Tor UK and it'll have 10,000 words of extra story at the end, so stay tuned! :)

oh right, I've been reminded that you can also request THE LORD OF THE WOOD on Netgalley now www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

"Fanfiction allows people to explore identity, sexuality, trauma and love through characters they already trust. For many queer readers and writers, it was the first place they saw themselves represented."

I've had one lovely book reviewer reach out to ask about whether this book is "sapphic" or not, and I've been tagged in a bunch of posts that simply label it that, so I'd like to share what I told the one lovely person: I have been calling it sapphic-ish. Flora-William is a woman and a man.
