(Some) Indie Book Recommendations

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

Writing and tiredness

Sometimes when you sit down to write, you just don't have it. Could be you're tired or whatever. I used to really struggle with this and try to force myself to power through it.

What I've learned to do instead is give jotting down notes or working on the outline the same sort of weight as writing. It's all an essential part of the process anyway.

So next time you feel tired or something, focus on your outline or notes. And still feel accomplished.

Where my writers and horror fans at?

[bookspotlight]

Hey y’all! I’m Coffee, and I’m a badass. You may, theoretically, know me under my pen name, Vincent Lore. I am an indie, self-published author who writes fiction starring trans man MCs, everything from gay romances to gothic horror to the Cthulhu Mythos, and more. [And yes, I’m trans too, if the url didn’t give that away.]

About me: I’m 32 years old and live in the USA. I love music of many different genres, cats, nostalgia/kitsch, roleplaying, and food. I am often inspired by horror video games, which I’ve enjoyed since I discovered Fatal Frame in my early teens. My current obsession is Bloodborne. I’m physically disabled and have audhd. Despite this and my depression, I’m gonna keep going for as long as I can, and I hope I can help you keep going too somehow.

On this blog, you can find a bit of everything: writing advice and inspiration, memes, current events and mutual aid [both tagged when I remember to, please feel free to remind me] and of course, cats. You obviously can find information on my own fiction here as well. Everyday I try to post a morning greeting and an ambience, song or both [human-crafted only]. You are encouraged to reblog these posts and support the artists I share. I’m also available to help with writing problems, just send an ask! If I can’t help, I’ll direct you to someone who can.

My current fiction projects:

Runner Owen: A queer gothic fantasy series with detectives, princes and evil vampires in a Victorian London inspired setting. You can find more of it on my sideblog @runner-owen

Pharaoh Syndicate Investigations: A hardboiled take on the Cthulhu Mythos, set in 1930s Arkham. Fans of Malevolent might like this. Currently reworking the first story, which is available for purchase [pwyw]

Thresholders Inc: Another Cthulhu Mythos project, set in the modern day. More info to come

The Kestrel: A fantasy take on superheroes, set in a desert kingdom. More info to come

As of 1/30/25 I am working on an Introduction to the Cthulhu Mythos, a series of posts aimed at complete newbies to the genre. This will focus on the work of HP Lovecraft, the ‘classic mythos’, with links to current fiction and nonfiction resources for those who want more. The first post, about Lovecraft himself, should be up in February. 

You can find me on Bluesky too!

My work is available exclusively on itch.io, for now. Here is my Ko-fi if you’d like to support me.

I will eventually publish a newsletter on Ghost or Buttondown, and start a Youtube channel.

Good luck out there!
