Episode 143: Reading 'Disciple Two : A Shrouded Personas Short Story' | Creative Writing Club

https://youtu.be/YLr6rlC9gLQ https://open.spotify.com/show/0BX9Z6IfApWiXjzzNPJWK7 In this week’s episode, I read a short story that is based on my newest published novel ‘Shrouded Personas.’ Where the main character, Timber Narissara, goes on her first ever solo mission at 12 years old and the lead-up to it. The short story was written to be part of my 2023 collection of short stories, which…

A DEMON'S NAME UPON YOUR LIPS

It is the curse of ADHD that, at least for me, I'm always running to the next project, and then the next, chasing the new shiny thing. And that has served me well in my creative endeavors, as much as it has stymied me. But I really do think that I caught something special in my first novel, A DEMON'S NAME UPON YOUR LIPS. And thanks to how my brain works, I rarely ever promote it! Which seems unfair for how much effort I put in, alongside my friends who patiently helped me edit it.

It's a sapphic romance between a (newly minted) Duke and the demon she summons. It's a fantasy which takes place in a secondary world loosely based on Victorian-era Europe, though without any of the queerphobic, or even sexist, hatred endemic to its real-world counterpart (or even to our modern day). It's fast paced, gay as fuck, and I poured my heart and soul into it.

I'd be honored if you picked it up; it's only $5.99. About the price of a Latte.

Grab it at the following places:

itch.io (PDF, ePub, and mobi all included!)

Kobo link (ePub version)

Apple Books, Smashwords, and a few others (ePub version)

Amazon (Kindle version)

Barnes and Noble (ePub)

Synopsis below the cut:

Lucia is a succubus, a demon with the power to shape the emotions and passions of mortals. Summoned often into the world of Melodia, she takes pride in upholding her demonic contracts to the best of her abilities. She likes to think she does her job well … though a string of recent failures say otherwise.

Talia, the recently elevated Duke of Fallmire, summons Lucia for a simple reason: to pose as her wife and fulfill marital obligations to the satisfaction of Parliament. All to say, just a few weeks of walking around the estate and playing nice with the neighbors before a conveniently tragic death. Quick and easy.

But immediately, Lucia smells blood in the water. Behind closed doors, the Duke plots vengeance upon those who killed her father—and the demon wants in. Revenge, after all, is much more fun … and more lucrative, to boot.

But can Lucia predict how hard she’d fall for the Duke? (Not a chance). And can the Duke find it in her vengeful heart to love?

Spice Level: lightly described nudity, fade-to-black sex.

Summer is almost over. I'm writing this in the middle of the month, so we'll call this the State of the Thatcher Address for September and October. This post would have happened earlier, but I've been traveling, so there have been some delays.

With fall just about here, I'm wearing long sleeves more often and I keep having to check when sunset is to prevent getting caught out doing daylight activities in the dark.

I've got big plans for the next six weeks, not all of them bimbo related, but most of them writing related. Some projects I can talk about, others I can't. That's just how it is, but I'll share what I can.

A quick reminder that you can find my books on Amazon, Smashwords, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Everand. You can also read everything I’ve published under my Sadie Thatcher name since last May 2023 on Ream, which is a subscription platform built specifically for authors. You can check out my Ream page below.

Ream: https://reamstories.com/sadiethatcher

And speaking of Ream, I have a Ream exclusive novel called The Muse (extreme dollification) that is now complete. I’ve made the first three chapters available for free. All you have to do is sign up as a follower at the link above to get a taste of my first real story that is too extreme for Amazon. I'm thinking about writing another Ream exclusive, but I haven't had any ideas for it yet.

I also post the occasional bit of flash fiction for followers on Ream. I have one up already and plan to post another one this week. As soon as I’m inspired, I’ll add a new mini-story to Ream.

On the Libby Feron front, my fantasy writing has stalled. I have shiny object syndrome. I keep getting new ideas that distract me before I can finish anything. I'm back to wanting to write a series of novellas. I also am committed to writing Astra's first book this fall. Hopefully it all comes together soon. Since I don’t talk about my fantasy writing often, checking out https://libbyferon.com/ and signing up for the email newsletter is the best way to stay informed. At some point, there will be a free novella offered.

Now it’s time to talk about what to expect in the near future. I've finished two series already this month with The Stranger and Gullible. The omnibus of the latter was just submitted for publishing. And I've released the first book in the Country Club Series about an exclusive country club that wants a certain type of member and will brainwash people to fit the club culture rather than change to be more acceptable.

There are also several series that I haven't started yet, but will appear in the next six weeks or so. There's a series about a woman who gets turned on by being bullied and she lets the bully turn her into a bimbo as she gets off on it all. Then there is the yearly set of Halloween themed stories. None of these are fully thought out yet.

In addition to bullies and Halloween, it's also football season, and I have a football player TG story planned. Again, no details set in stone, but the football player will likely become a cheerleader. Or maybe there will be some sort of powderpuff game. I'm not quite sure yet. And finally, the end of October will feature the beginning of a breastaurant bimbo series.

So it's going to be an exciting and full few weeks. The season is changing.

Is my roommate a vampire or is he just weird?

Just read My Roommate Is a Vampire by Jenna Levine and it was... meh. It didn’t annoy me, it didn’t gave me an ick in any way and the writing wasn’t awful so it passes the basic romance novel threshold.

But I didn’t find the characters particularly charming nor was I very interested in what was happening with the plot. I kept waiting for it to get better. I was like okay, next pages it will pick up and it kinda never did.

Also if you are going for the vampire thing: for something that is so central to the plot it’s kinda funny how little we actually go over it!

I mean if you are looking for some vampire/monster fantasy rom-com you could do worse so if that’s your thing it’s only like 300 something pages... it isn’t horrible is I’m trying to say... just a bit boring truly.

And it’s so funny to me that even though our love interest male vampire is supposed to be this cute kind marshmallow we still have to throw some scenes where he is possessive or jealous CAUSE THAT IS THE FORMULA GODDAMIT!!! It comes out of nowhere and it’s hilarious.

Also anyone who has read the second book... Is it worth it? Because part of me is like: I didn’t like this one that much and all but the other part is like vampire, Reginald maybe it’s fun?? I don’t know, tell me what you though please!

Forgot to add: The cover.... Amazing ok

Now I’m gonna read the Ex Hex by Erin Sterling because it was like less than two euros on the Kobo store so... Let’s see.

[elizmanderson]

rats, I was gonna add this to my original cover reveal post as a reblog, but apparently I can't? I didn't see a video option for rb, anyway. I guess it's fine bc this got longer than I meant it to, although that's mostly because I wanted to include information that would've already been in the post I had planned to reblog

anyway please behold the magic of me somehow creating a book trailer despite generally having no video editing skills to speak of. I think it slaps actually

here's the original post: link to cover reveal post

here's a full book description

In this mesmerizing, wonderfully moving queer cozy fantasy, an immortal ghost hunter must confront his tragic past in order to embrace his found family. Find an angry spirit. Send it on its way before it causes trouble. Leave before anyone learns his name. After over two hundred years, Peter Shaughnessy is ready to die and end this cycle. But thanks to a youthful encounter with one o’ them folk in his native Ireland, he can’t. Instead, he’s cursed to wander eternally far from home, with the ability to see ghosts and talk to plants. Immortality means Peter has lost everyone he’s ever loved. And so he centers his life on the dead—until his wandering brings him to Harrington, Ohio. As he searches for a vengeful spirit, Peter’s drawn into the townsfolk’s lives, homes and troubles. For the first time in over a century, he wants something other than death. But the people of Harrington will die someday. And he won’t. As Harrington buckles under the weight of the supernatural, the ghost hunt pits Peter’s well-being against that of his new friends and the man he’s falling for. If he stays, he risks heartbreak. If he leaves, he risks their lives.

here are some book links

and here's alt text for the video

text fades in over softly blurred flowers, reading "The Keeper of Lonely Spirits, book trailer and cover reveal."

text split up throughout the trailer reads: "a ghost. a curse. a town in peril. to save an Ohio town, he'll have to risk his heart…"

as the music starts, clouds dissolve into faded flowers, a sunset field, an upward shot of trees, an overhead shot of a small town.

fade to black.

as the music swells, cut to: a swiftly ticking pocketwatch; someone walking through a forest, wearing jeans and boots; a cemetery; sunlight through the trees; a cheerful old white man in a vest.

more images flash swiftly, getting faster and faster: an old white man with a weary expression, leaning his forehead against a wall; hands fixing a pocket watch; an overhead shot of trees; a ghostly figure in a corridor; a weathered cottage in a field; an old man running with two children; a lone headstone; someone running alone in the sunset; a flash of color in the air; a young Black woman sitting on the floor in front of a couch, look sad and holding a cup of tea; two old men kissing; closeup of a man's eye with tears falling; yellow flowers; an old letter; two old men with their foreheads pressed together.

the last image lingers; one man's eyes flicker up to the other's face.

now the images slow. closeup of an old white man from the back, facing the sunlight, dissolving into a sunlit field with text over it reading, "You get used to it." the text is wiped away and replaced by different text: "I hope I never get used to being alone."

cut to: a background of yellow flowers. the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits fades in: a small cottage sitting atop a lonely hill, with smoke drifting from the chimney, surrounded by headstones, yellow flowers, and intermittent trees, with the title "The Keeper of Lonely Spirits" centered in large, yellow, sans-serif text and "a novel, E.M. Anderson" centered in smaller, white, sans-serif text below it. music is XAmbassadors' Unsteady.

I’m super happy to announce that the revised second edition of “Far Beyond The Moon” is finally available internationally! It comes with a 10k words bonus chapter full of monster goodness ♡

.

Blurb of “Far Beyond The Moon”

The life of Christopher Ennington is in shambles. Volunteering at his local dog shelter is what gets the 38-year-old through the days. Battered by abuse, disease, and that particularly messed-up thing dragged into the shelter, he cannot believe his luck when he crosses paths with a mysterious stranger: Gyth is kind, dreamy, and just as much of an outsider as Christopher. Frankly, it has seemed impossible to ever find love again – but here he is, enamored by brown eyes and a voice like honey.

Gyth has never planned on returning to this dimension. But after his crash into it, he is connected to the lonely creature who has saved his life. And so, he decides to stay and masquerades as a ‘human’ himself. With Christopher to teach him, it’s not too difficult – and even fun! Birds of a feather flock together after all. But people in rural Massachusetts do not take kindly to this blossoming relationship. It is only when Christopher learns of Gyth’s eldritch nature that this world finally starts to change – and they themselves with it…

What lies beneath the flesh must break free: Cosmic horror and body horror entangled in a steamy queer romance – literally!

More about “Far Beyond The Moon”

130,200+ words

460 pages for you to devour

15 chapters full of hurt/comfort

8 smut scenes with eldritch body horror

2 loners who finally find their perfect match

1 cosmic-mad, brain-melting, sweet-as-honey romance

and too many tentacles to count!

.

Since it deals with trauma and mental illness and serves as an abuse survivour fantasy, parts of the book are fairly dark even outside of the body horror genre aspects. I have written this very much in the spirit of a hurt/comfort fanfic. Still, I encourage you to check out the CWs on my carrd before buying or renting the book.

I’d be overjoyed to hear what you think! I’m still starting out as a selfpub writer and it is a scary road, but I literally have so many more horror couples I want to pour into novel-length stories – so I’m trying my best to make this work! Thank you to everyone spreading the word, it means the world to me ♡ Cheers!

Oh boy, am I glad this thing got out before Halloween lol

Have you ever seen a 1980s body horror abomination and thought "I want to hold their hand/tentacle/vaguely insect-ish limb"? I sure did, so I wrote a horror love story and decided to publish it as a romance novel! It'd be my honour to introduce you to Christopher and Gyth, eldritch sweethearts ♡

By now it should be available internationally; I have been told US stores need a bit longer. There is a special e-book discount until 6 December 2023 that you might wanna take into consideration! (I will say that I have no control over international prices of the paperback though. It had to be at least 14€ to cover the printing costs but is often more expensive in stores outside of my country.)

Overall, I hope this story reaches its right audience lol, it does venture into ero guro territory at times after all. And I've already found several typos in it (rip). That said, holding this book in my hands, I am insanely proud of it and its story. Seeing yourself in "the other", SA as body horror etc. etc. (To be very honest my therapist loudly encouraged me to publish this lol) The two main characters are adults and very much two dads™, though without any mpreg, for those who want to know.

I want to revise this book very badly for a second edition because I'd like it to be as perfect as possible, but that depends on how well this baby sells in the first place. Maybe give the eldritch sweethearts a try!! If not, I'd be happy if you still spread the word ♡

So, it's been two months since The God Key came out!! Wow!

With Christmas just around the corner, if you haven't yet grabbed your copy to partake in gay angst and superpowers, as of MONDAY 12 DECEMBER 2022 you can do so for only £0.99 at the Google Store. The ebook will stay £0.99 until 26 December 2022.

You can also read a fair bit of the book there in terms of sampling, if you're not sure.

You can read some reviews here, if you like (or leave some reviews yourself!)

If you're not sure what The God Key is...keep reading under the link.

What on earth is The God Key?

The God Key is my novel that came out this year. Here's the blurb!

You have the power to make everyone in the world a good person. All it costs is the love of your life. Which do you choose? At university they were best friends and boyfriends – Gabriel, a charming telepath obsessed with saving the world; Isaac, a lonely magnifier who quadruples the superpowers of anyone he touches. It's happily ever after until Isaac fakes his death. Five years later, a villain is bringing everyone’s worst nightmares to life and Gabriel learns that Isaac is still alive. Isaac, who he never stopped loving. Isaac, with his secrets and strange connection with their dreamweaver enemy. Isaac, who might yet be the key to everything that Gabriel ever wanted… Whether he wants to be or not.

The genre is LGBTQ (m/m) adult urban fantasy (of the superpower variety).

Can I get The God Key anywhere else? What about in print?

Sure thing! It's only on discount at Google store, but you can get PRINT and/or EBOOK versions in a number of places included Amazon, Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, The Book Depository and more.

I have a post of links here.

I have no money but still want to support you and TGK...

No worries whatsoever. Reblogging this post is helpful, or adding The God Key to any wishlists, or just posting it about on the social medias.

(I also post stuff on Instagram: @simone_themoderntypewriter). I promise it's not just me going on about my book.)

And, as ever...you can simply enjoy reading whatever random free stories I post on here. Reblogs, likes and comments are love <3

Merry Christmas, she says, as if she's not going to post a bunch more stuff before the season is over.

Signal Boosting!

A friend and colleague of mine, Krys E Jay is releasing a new book and I wanted to tell you guys about it!!

Phoenix Awakening is a romantic fantasy novel and the first book in the Hiraeth Song series! It's their debut novel and is available for preorder now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. Honestly, pretty much anywhere you can purchase books! It's coming out in just a little under a week!!

Here's what it's about:

War cannot be ignored. It creeps into all aspects of life even when those in charge deem it best to disregard and keep their people in ignorance. The Kingdom of Ignis is no exception. As its princess, Moira's life centered around mundane worries such as picking what outfit to wear out of the hundreds gracing her closet, avoiding her lessons and hanging out with her Scarlets. But that all changes on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, when the walls surrounding the Five Kingdoms are breached and she pulls a wounded soldier up through her shadow. Swept up in the rippling consequences, Moira must mend burned bridges and awaken the latent Gift within in order to prove herself worthy of the knowledge and responsibilities befitting her title. Or risk losing all she had to begin with. Phoenix Awakening is Krys E Jay's debut novel and the first book in the Hiraeth Song series, containing a taste of forbidden romance, a spoiled princess and an ever encroaching darkness.

I'm so friggen excited for this and It would mean alot not only to me but @authorkrysejay if you could give this post a bit of a boost by reblogging it and commenting! If you pre-order it also let us know so we can shout you out!

Summer is here. While much of the USA has already experienced exceptionally hot temperatures, this coming weekend brings that weather to where I live. I'm set up just fine for it, but it will still be hot.

I ended up skipping writing a State of the Thatcher Address in June. The start of the month was busy and by the time I had time to write one, the month was over halfway over. But now it's July and I'm definitely not missing it this time. I feel like the image I selected for this month is a good summer image. She dressed for the heat.

This is also a good time to mention that my writing goals in the past two months did not always happen, especially when it came to my fantasy writing. I've also tried a few new things recently, which I hope readers have enjoyed. More about what to expect this month further down.

A quick reminder that you can find my books on Amazon, Smashwords, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Everand. You can also read everything I’ve published under my Sadie Thatcher name since last May on Ream, which is a subscription platform built specifically for authors. You can check out my Ream page below.

I also post the occasional bit of flash fiction for followers on Ream. I have one up already and plan to post another one this week. As soon as I’m inspired, I’ll add a new mini-story to Ream.

On the Libby Feron front, my fantasy writing has stalled. I have shiny object syndrome. I keep getting new ideas that distract me before I can finish anything. My current novel plan is to write a fantasy novel with time travel and that is heavily inspired by Cinderella. But with the time travel element, I need to get multiple timelines figured out before I begin writing. Hopefully soon. Since I don’t talk about my fantasy writing often, checking out https://libbyferon.com/ and signing up for the email newsletter is the best way to stay informed. At some point, there will be a free novella offered.

Now it’s time to talk about what to expect this month. First, I just released the first story in the Bimbo Religion Series. The first book is about the beginning of this new religion. The second book will be about getting an influential person to adopt it. The third book will be about converting an entire town. That third book will also include a return to Bimboton, which showed up in a Christmas story from a few years ago.

I also have a series in the works that will include rewriting people's lives to bimbofy them. This will be a classic three bimbos in three books series, which was my original bread and butter. It should be fun.

And finally, at the end of the month I will be introducing a series that is inspired by the Olympics called The Bimbo Games. Actually, I got the idea from the Enhanced Games, which is just dumb, but what better way to call something out than by parodying it. I don't know exactly how the books will work yet, but expect some fun there.

That's it for July. If I'm not writing this month, I will either be out running, hiking, or on my brand new paddle board. Have fun, everyone, and stay cool out there.
