[ID: an image of a book cover. The cover shows a golden lute in the center, surrounded by red flowers and vines, with shiny blue crystals tucked into the vines. The text on top of the lute reads "The Spirit Well," and under it reads "Lutesong Book Two, R.K. Ashwick." end ID]
The Spirit Well Cover Reveal!!
Here it is, in all its shiny glory! I want to eat the crystals so so bad. I want to put this whole cover in a blender and drink it. (It would be banana-strawberry flavored with a hint of blueberry.)
Anyhoo, if you enjoyed The Stray Spirit, check this out:
When a bard saved the day, he never expected an encore. After saving their home from a magical disaster, Emry, Cal, and forest spirit Aspen ascend to high society: Emry and Aspen to the illustrious musicians’ guild, and Cal to the cutting edge of spirit research. But their new roles send them far beyond the concerts and balls they expected…and deep into a city of dying spirits. In the neighboring city of Matlock, a strange blight has withered their gardens—and the spirits living within. The trio rushes to investigate, whirling into Matlock’s social season in search of allies and gossip. Here, Emry frantically navigates the dazzle and decorum to seek information, start his debut…and propose to Cal. But when the glittering chandeliers illuminate more enemies than friends, Emry, Cal, and Aspen must race to stop the blight before it spreads—and the spirits shrivel away for good. 
If you're going "hell yeah, lemme at it" -
a) I love you
b) I have cool stuff for you, as a sign of my love

[ID: a square image showing a vintage illustrated newspaper article titled "Peek of the Season," a Spirit Well bookmark with red flowers and blue swirls, and a sticker of a red flower against shiny blue crystals. The text above reads "The Spirit Well Pre-Order Goodies!" end ID]
If you want to be an ARC reader or pre-order and get these cool goodies above (along with a slightly unhinged handwritten note from me!) click here:
oh my god this was such a long post, thank you for sticking with me here

✨ A Spark of Magic Pre-Orders Are Now Live ✨
A Spark of Magic is one step closer to being yours. You can pre-order the ebook from most retailers here! (Note: Amazon's link will only be available on release day. I apologise for the inconvenience) Paperback pre-orders coming soon.
Since I can't do any pre-order campaign with physical goodies due to my geographical location, I decided to lower the ebook's price to half of what it will be after release, so if you pre-order now, you can get it for $1.99 (US)/1,99€/£1.99. I'll keep this price for a week after the release so that people who tend to get ebooks from Amazon can still enjoy this little bonus. I hope you can understand and take advantage of this deal 💛
Check the section below for FAQs such as whether it'll be on KU, ARC readers and other things. If you have any questions not featured below, feel free to send them my way!
Q: Why pre-order?
A: Pre-orders are a great way to help authors. Whenever you pre-order a book, you're letting that retailer know there's interest in it which helps it chart higher in retailer charts (generally speaking). This means there's a potential for it to reach more people who otherwise might miss it.
Q: Will this book be available on KU?
A: Since I'm opting for a wide release, and due to KU's exclusivity nature, I can't offer my ebooks through there while having them available elsewhere.
Q: Will this book be available on Kobo Plus?
A: Yes, it will! In case you don't know what Kobo Plus is, it's a similar subscription program to KU, except it doesn't require authors to be exclusive to the platform. This program isn't available in every country, but you can check here if your country has it. They're also adding new territories often, so keep that in mind.
Q: When will paperbacks be available for pre-order?
A: I wish I could have a concrete date, but I don't. There's a chance the paperback release will have to be postponed a week or two, but I'll keep you informed. If you're unsure which you should order, wait until I show you what the paperback looks like so you can make your choice!
Q: Will you have ARC reviewers for this release?
A: I will only have eARC reviewers available, and you can sign up for it here if you're interested! All the information is there, but if you have extra questions/concerns feel free to reach out and I'll reply as soon as I can.
Thank you so much for reading this far! I'll try to keep this post updated, so I'll probably reblog it whenever I add new information!

Seeking epic science fantasy novel fans into:
💘 Dads-mance ☠️ Sapphics fighting across space and time 🌦️ 2 young men's enmity and rivalry through thousands of years 📜 A family secret for much longer 🌈 Queernormative cast 🎀 Intertwining magic systems 🌌 Spooky planetary system intrigue
—to join the street team for my debut novel, "The Protector and the Annihilation"!
Genre, key tropes, and content warnings under the cut:
Genre: Epic science fantasy, drama, LGBTQ romance, horror elements (survival, supernatural body horror and psychological) scattered throughout
TWs: A majority of characters are in a less shitty period of their lives, but— This series does have blood/gore. There's depression, OCD reaction and PTSD. There's reflection on abuse. It currently occasionally brings up (without intense detail) situations like harassment (not by the protagonists). Beyond this there's exploration of stratification + othering including [internalized] sexism, [internalized] homophobia, [internalized] transphobia and [internalized] racism. There's noticeable implication of past genocide.
Despite the TWs, there's a lot of focus on adventure, excitement and romantasy-type energy.
Key tropes: Slowburn romances, otherworld, found family, magical anime eye powers, world exploration, rivalmance, friends to lovers, reincarnation, time shenanigans, eldritch location, eldritch monsters, adventure academy AND university, family rivalries, ship tease (several), big friend groups (girls, boys and nbs)

OK lads - I'm trying to find some ARC (advance reader copies) for my self-published book WINTER'S CHOSEN. If you've not been an ARC reader before, you can sign up for an advanced copy of the book, and leave a review at your leisure.
Check out the blurb here - but Winter's Chosen is a standalone fantasy book about Ifry, whose employer wants to build a ski resort in an area filled with eldritch monsters. There's some tragic queer romance in there, if you're into that sort of thing. Sign up at this link!
[Blurb - alt text:
Ifry is the long suffering clerk to the wealthy and demanding Thomas Townsend.  When the latter takes Ifry to the mountains to build a ski resort, they have their work cut out for them.  The mountain town is overrun with carnivorous monsters and Ifry is woefully unprepared, but he finds help in Jos Nothernine, the reserved but charming local hunter.
Yet the town is plagued by more than just monsters: it is home to Solyon, the god of summer himself.  Each year, Solyon chooses a townsperson to defeat a sacrifice chosen by Lady Winter.  If the chosen fails, winter will continue endlessly, meaning disaster for the world at large.
A sacrifice must be made, and this year Jos has been chosen to kill someone, lest summer never return.]

Hey all! So I'm putting out my first book! I'm very excited about it. The book will be released on May 1st.
Synopsis: Trix Quinn is a lifelong fan of Dawn of the Sword, a fantasy book series that is receiving a new television adaptation-- one that is filming in her hometown! She couldn't be more excited to have more opportunities to create cosplay for the franchise she loves, especially as it distracts her from her ailing parents and unsatisfying job as a "Karen Wrangler" at the local SaveMore. But things grow complicated when Trix's family rents out their guesthouse. The renter is Marty Chase Jr., who is playing Trix's favorite character. Is Trix's attraction to Marty just because of his role in the show? And can Marty ever see Trix as anything more than a fangirl?
So, if that sounds interesting to you, not only are PRE-ORDERS OPEN, but I'm also looking for people who like Advanced Reader Copies. If you sign up, you'll receive a free eBook early.
Hopefully, you'll decide to leave me a review on whatever platform you use or spread the word about the book. This is totally optional, but it would be super helpful.
So, if you want to get an early look at a nerd romance, fill out THIS FORM.

Art by Vamorii
Stolen from the mortal world by the fae, the last thing I expect is a crown. Enslaved at a mine and with no hope of escape, my life is a grim exercise in survival until the magic of the Court chooses an unexpected ruler: Me. But becoming queen is more than revels and gowns. It puts me in the crosshairs of every vicious member of the fae nobility—and in the bedroom of a gorgeous, winged fae with the power to rewrite the landscape and slaughter armies. His every emotion thrums through my veins: Pain. Joy. Pleasure. The Court's chosen king is too dangerous for casual touch, a man burdened by strange magic and rejected by his own goddess. The link between us binds us, heart and soul. He courts me with gems and flowers. His eyes follow me and his desire heats my blood. Yet he refuses to take the throne. With the Court on the verge of falling apart, threatened by a vengeful goddess and scheming nobles, he holds back, certain that he'll do more harm than good. But if he truly wants me, he's going to have to claim me as the man I know he can be: my king.

Hierarchy of the Unseen ARCs are available now!
Tumblr media
What's an ARC? An unproofed but almost finished copy of a book sent to readers before release date in the hopes of generating buzz and acquiring early reviews
What is Hierarchy of the Unseen? The latest fantasy novel by B. Pigeon and Fell A. Marsh, following a devout, guilt-ridden demon hunter named Mitzli and a shiftless, self-absorbed demon named Kor as they attempt to uncover the secrets behind a sudden wave of demonic violence. HotU is great for fans of diverse & unique worlds, fantasy theology, atypical demons & angels, character-driven stories with stakes, queer/trans protagonists, and more.
What's the timeline? Ebooks are available now, and we'll have a limited run of paperbacks going out in mid-May!
How do I learn more? Read the full summary and content notes on this Google Form & Booksirens! We should get back to you in a day if you're chosen to receive a copy :)
Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy! -- B & Fell

So, I spent this entire weekend working on a fic for myself and not anything that actually needed to be written. Even though I specifically prayed to God for me to get stuff done, and now I am going to blame Him for my lack of self-control.
However! There is good news for you. I updated Sparkling Eyes and Cigarette Burns on Wednesday, and I will be updating Through The Gate this coming Wednesday.
As always, I am looking for ARC readers for my book, Cataclysm, and I would love to get your feedback! Let me know if you're interested!
(I promise, next weekend I will do things that need done.)

My cover reveal is TOMORROW! In the meantime, if you are a librarian, bookseller, book blogger, reviewer, or ARC reader, you can find THE SHABTI on Edelweiss+. Check it out if you're looking for a spooky, queer, noirish thriller that feels like The Mummy (1932) meets Nightmare Alley with a healthy dose of romance mixed in.
