LESBIAN GIRLGROUP PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR NOVEL INCOMING FEB 21 BABY
After much forewarning, my sophomore novel AMBROSIA is officially gonna hit us on the 21st of February 2025.
AMBROSIA follows a superstar and second-most-lucrative-member-of-her-girl-group from the point where she's Katya, a grossly ambitious teenager clawing her way through a pseudo-dystopian celebrity training program, to the peak of her career, where she's lost herself in the big diva persona of Ambrosia, bleeding from her nose more than is usual, and hiding a breakdown-induced shaved head from the world.
AMBROSIA is a seven-year-long story of management-dictated shower times, performance-enhancing drugs, and ill-advised affairs with beloved and behated group-mates, told in increments by a semi-reliable narrator over the span of only the one fateful day where a life in service of being looked at finally translates into clawing out eyes.
That is all to say it is now PREORDERABLE - both in ebook and paperback - wherever you get your books from! (If you want to cop a paperback from evil overlord Amazon and it's listed as unavailable on your regional evil overlord storefront, try the US one.)
And ALSO you can read ahead on the first couple chapters for free right HERE.
Thank you for your support and thank you, once again, @shalida for this incredible cover.

Dream Daddy Preview #7
Finn stood in front of his bedroom mirror, and smirked to himself. Ryan and Mara were due to arrive any second, and he looked fabulous.
The outfit was a carefully curated sort of thing—he didn't want to look obvious. No, he was quickly figuring out that Vance was the sort of man you had to reel in real slow. After all, if Vance worked out exactly what Finn was up to, he'd probably freak right out and babble on and on about that stupid contract.
Finn had read the contract carefully, of course. Sure, it said that Vance wasn't allowed to come on to Finn, but it definitely didn't say anything about Finn coming on to Vance.
So, the outfit.
He'd kept the jean shorts on. It hadn't been hard to miss the way Vance's entire brain had turned off when Finn spun on his heel and showed off at least half his ass. With it, he just added a V-neck T-shirt, the collar showing off a small portion of his chest, which had been previously waxed when Finn had borrowed Vance's credit card for a spa day—with his enthusiastic permission, of course.
The waxing hadn't been fun, but it wasn't nearly as painful as Ryan made it sound. Once Mara had somehow managed to convince Ryan to wax his legs after entirely too much beer and weed, and Ryan had shrieked like he was being murdered after one strip.
In contrast, Finn didn't find it to be that bad, not even when the girl went to wax his ass.
It had all been worth it if Vance's response had been anything to go by.
Finn smirked proudly as he admired himself in the mirror, then pulled up his hair into its usual man bun just as his phone buzzed with a text from Ryan, telling him that they were almost there.
Grinning, Finn grabbed his phone and all but skipped down to the main level of the house, arriving at the bottom stair just as one of the maids was letting the pair in.
Ryan and Mara had been to Vance's house a few times already, but they both still adopted a certain gobsmacked look on their faces every time they came by. Mara was always more reserved about it, but Ryan didn't bother to try hiding his amazement, and always looked like he was struggling to unstick his jaw from the floor.
“Seriously, bro, every time?” Finn called out while he signed, the volume of his voice making his words echo through the expansive halls. Ryan grinned shamelessly, and as Finn waved his hand in invitation, the pair followed him upstairs.
Catching up with Ryan and Mara had an unfortunate effect of giving Finn tunnel vision, and he forgot everything else but his two buds (because Mara dating Ryan automatically made her his bud).
On top of that, Vance's house happened to be stupid huge, so was it really his fault if he didn't hear the doorbell?

In this swoony and spooky teen summer romance graphic novel set on a Texas ranch, sixteen-year-old Cade Muñoz falls for the ranch owner's mysterious and handsome son, only to discover that he may be harboring a dangerous secret.
Cade has always loved to escape into the world of a good horror movie. After all, horror movies are scary--but to Cade, a closeted queer Latino teen growing up in rural Texas--real life can be way scarier.
When Cade is sent to spend the summer working as a ranch hand to help earn extra money for his family, he is horrified. Cade hates everything about the ranch, from the early mornings to the mountains of horse poop he has to clean up. The only silver lining is the company of the two teens who live there, particularly the ruggedly handsome and enigmatic Henry. But as unexpected sparks fly between Cade and Henry, things get...complicated.
Henry is reluctant to share the details of his mother's death, and Cade begins to wonder what else he might be hiding. Inspired by the gothic romance of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and perfect for fans of Heartstopper and Bloom comes a modern love story so romantic it's scary.

Read with Pride! 🏳️🌈
Representation across the queer spectrum is crucial, as all readers should see themselves reflected in the stories they love! 🏳️🌈 We’ve pulled together a list of books to read that feature gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, asexual, aromantic, and sapphic relationships, characters, and stories.
Here are some of our favorite books encompassing the LGBTQIA+ community! ✨
Heartstopper Volume 1
Now streaming on Netflix! Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. A sweet and charming coming-of-age story that explores friendship, love, and coming out. This edition features beautiful two color artwork.
Nick and Charlie
From the mega-bestselling creator of Heartstopper, a must-have novella in which Heartstopper's lead characters, Nick and Charlie, face one of their biggest challenges yet. Nick will soon be leaving for university, and Charlie, a year younger, will be left behind. Everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever. What will it take for Nick and Charlie to defy the odds?
Loveless
From Alice Oseman, author of Heartstopper, comes an honest and relatable novel about realizing that it’s okay to not have sexual or romantic feelings for anyone — because there are plenty of other ways to find love and connection.
I Was Born For This
A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something — especially yourself.
The Honeys
A twisted and tantalizing horror novel set amidst the bucolic splendor of a secluded summer retreat.
The Feeling of Falling in Love
A new kind of love story about the bad decisions we sometimes make... and the people who help get us back on the right path. Perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston and What if It’s Us by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli.
This is Our Place
Three teens — in three different decades — navigate life, love, and family. This is our Place is a novel about queer teens dealing with sudden life changes, family conflict, and first loves, proving that while generations change, we will always be connected to each other.
Destination Unknown
From Stonewall Award winner Bill Konigsberg, a remarkable, funny, sexy, heartbreaking story of two teen boys finding each other in New York City at the height of the AIDS epidemic.
Gay Club
Barney’s a shoo-in for his school’s LGBTQ+ Society President at the club’s next election — until the vote is opened to the entire student body. Can the club members put politics aside and stand united? Gay Club is a landmark comedic novel about a group of queer teens at their worst — and ultimately their best.
The Library of Broken Worlds
A girl matches wits with a war god in this kaleidoscopic, thought-provoking tale of oppression and the cost of peace, where stories hide within other stories, and narrative has the power to heal — or to burn everything in its path.
Love Letters for Joy
Joy is asexual, but that’s no reason she can’t experience first love. She writes to Caldwell Cupid and falls for the mysterious voice behind the letters - until the letter-writer turns out to be the last person she would ever expect.
Magical Boy
A hilarious and heartfelt riff on the magical girl genre made popular by teen manga series, Magical Boy is a one-of-a-kind fantasy series that comic readers of all ages will love.

Dream Daddy Preview #9
Finn had a plan, and he thought it was going pretty well so far.
The plan, as it was, was simple:
Upon learning that Vince had fully planned to stick to the contract with all the enthusiasm of Ryan when free ice cream was involved, Finn needed to come up with a way to make the painfully attractive man's brain short-circuit just enough to make him question his annoying moral code.
Phase One: The Shorts.
That had gone pretty well, Finn thought. He'd taken a pair of his old jeans (he had no plans to desecrate the designer jeans that Vince had gotten him) and cut them into shorts, so short that his ass hung halfway out, and he needed to wear his one and only G-string to keep other parts from falling out as well.
And the shorts, as expected, had rendered Vince speechless.
Phase Two, which Finn implemented about a week later, involved him meandering out of his bedroom in just a pair of pyjama bottoms, his hair deliberately tousled from sleep, and he wandered around until he conveniently bumped into Vince, at which point he mumbled something like an apology for being half-asleep, and pretended that he forgot that there was an ensuite bathroom in his room.
Vince, blushing from his forehead to his ankles, gently guided Finn back to his room, hardly touching him as he went.
Unfortunately, before Phase Three could be set in motion, there was all the renovations going on at his new condo to consider.
Because Vince was so extra, he'd of course hired an interior designer. He sat down with Finn to go over colour swatches and design themes, along with everything else that came with designing a space. They had a few limitations on what they could and couldn't change per the condo rules or whatever the hell it was called (in all honesty, Finn hadn't really been listening), and while Finn was cool with it just being something simple, the designer seemed to be struggling to actually keep it simple.
It definitely helped that Vince fired the first three designers until they found one that actually meshed with Finn's personality, and it was a guy named Pierre who finally seemed to understand Finn's need for a certain level of chill.
That didn't really explain how he'd wound up picking one of those huge L-shaped leather couches and a Lay-Z-Boy that Finn never wanted to climb out of, along with a TV that was almost comically huge, which hung on the wall like a picture.
Finn really shouldn't have been complaining, but it was sometimes hard to believe that this was his life now.
As a result, all the design stuff had really cut into his scheming for Phase Three, and he hadn't as of yet figured out a way to accidentally drop trow in front of Vince without it looking pretty damn obvious what he was up to.
Towards the end of June, another wrench was thrown into his plans—Vince had told him that Finn's first Gala was just beyond the horizon.

I have to admit, this one has not a lot on "The Priory of the Orange Tree" Though when it is comes to LGBT, this one was way better. And PS: I do believe Fýredel is more of the main character than Nameless One, dude is on the cover of both books. He has also been able awaken when the nameless one couldn't. Oh whatever. I like him though.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The action really does portray this book as a prequel which also made me realise a lot of time had passed before book 1's timeline. In Book 1, it is Sabran the Ninth. In this book, it is the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh, Glorian's daughter. Like every fantasy book with dragons, there is bound to be fire and roasted bodies. And there was loads of action with those fire-breathing wyrms. I was saddened to love it all but those scenes are like candy when reading books about dragons.
𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗: I do believe the South won this time. In Priory, it was the West. Mainly because this is where the 𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 story was. And I am all about the sapphic life, so yes.
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵: 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝘂𝘃𝗮: 50 year old ray of sunshine that was also a badass warrior who loved wholeheartedly. She was a deep character. Her wife, Esbar was also definitely something to behold. The way Tuva and Esbar loved each other and their children, it was awesome. Tuva's son, Wulf finally realising that Thrit loved him. Wulf was bisexual and I think Thrit was gay. Though Wulf and Thrit were in the north. Canthe, that bitch that almost ruined a love blessed by The Mother.
𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁: 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻: The West did have a tight story because at some point there were 3 generations of Berethnet and that very intriguing. Though I do believe Glorian was overrated. Her relationship with her parents was interesting though. Her mom was a total ice queen and her father was such a sunshine overdose but with killer instincts. It was rather adorable how he (King Bardholt) devotedly loved Sabran VI the Ambitious. These even had nicknames for one another despite the toxic environment they were in. I have a feeling Glorian was 𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙪𝙖𝙡 but that scene when she spied on her parents that was just nasty. A little heartbreaking in the beginning but nasty in the end. Like girl, what the fuck?
𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗶: She was 𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜. I definitely didn't like her woman but I liked that she was sapphic. Though, this side was slight the down-side of the book. Yes, it did have some intriguing parts with the non-fire breathing dragons and I think that dragon (Nayimathun) from Priory was also here as well (That old bastard). I feel like the name was familiar.. The east wasn't so popular with me even in Priory.
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: I really enjoyed this book. A lot of scenes had me screaming and cursing but all in all, it was a joyful ride. I can't wait for more, if there will be.
