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!

The Witches of Salix Pointe Book 3: The Reckoning & the Reaper audiobook

By Noelle Vella

[ladynightshade30]

After being sent into the woods to check on her grandmother, Meave “Red” Simmons finds herself being chased down by a pack of werewolves, led by Sói who tells her she has been sold to his pack. When Maeve manages to escape him and make it to her grandmother’s house, she finds the older woman has been brutally murdered, causing her to pass out.

Later on, Meave wakes up to discover that she is in the pack’s manor and her ties to the pack go beyond her parents selling her to them. And her connection to Sói started when she was a small child. As Maeve and Sói get to know each other once more, the pack is threatened by an old enemy, The Red Hunters.

While the pack deals with the latest threat, Sói and Maeve reconnect with each other. And when the final battle comes Maeve finds herself having to make a choice not only about her arranged marriage but about Sói’s life as well.

Hazbin Hotel ||Alastor X Reader||Rest A Little My Dear

It's tiring and feeling burnt out but the stack of thoughts, longing and paperwork won't let you sleep.

It had been approximately two years since that horrible night, but you're not exactly sure how time works in hell, or how many days make a year, or how many days make a month.

You asked some of your other friends as well Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel they just shrugged, although Vaggie did ask you the reason. Then looking at you she figured it,

"Oh, I see... you're still hoping huh?" Vaggie didn't want to tell it, but she thought you were hoping for something meaningless.

"Come now my dear, it's not healthy for you to be locked up in your bedroom the whole day." Alastor reminded, dragging you outside.

To cure you of your homesickness he would make the food you used to enjoy, love, and fight with your sibling for.

Alastor could have handled that, but he knew the stages of acceptance involved Denial, Turmoil, more denial, romanticizing the impossible, and then initial acceptance.

It was a while since you landed here, and the moment he had seen you he knew you could be a more hopeless case than Charlie and a complete misfits of the misfits.

"Here at least come to one of the most pleasant cities of this miserable hell!" Alastor said grinning,

Two weeks passed, And Alastor had gone out for 'Urgent matters' he thought you were to lighthearted to understand or even know about it.

That night he was pleasantly surprised to see you wrapped up with a blanket on your bed, you were taking his advice and calming down a little.

He sat by the bedside, "I know my dear, it's painful. As painful as missing my mother. You know I'd give anything to see her once again." Alastor then looked at you, "Now my dear, when I go, I hope you will help me run this hotel and not stay cooped up here. It's definitely not healthy, well I guess this is hell. Now I better get going. My dear."

"Ah there you are Charlie... why not help me out a little you see my darling Y/n will probably be all delusional again, dreaming, drifting, and mindlessly browsing all sorts of information in those content books of hers, and that picture box thing, so make sure she doesn't get a little to delusional okay?"

But Charlie knew your stubbornness passes the gates of hell and to the doors of heaven, you avoided everyone, anything to study, you studied for hours, without Alastor things got really hellish.

One day in your room staring out to the red skies, Niffty called out to you,

"So why are you such a boring person huh? Why are you not a bad girl?"

"That's because she doesn't belong here Nifftly." Charlie's soft voice called out, she then took your hand, "I know it's hard for you, to have left everyone behind, I know your longing to pick up where you left, you want to forget you are trapped in hell. I can't promise your departure back to Earth, I know your scared, but we'll be right by your side."

You laughed with tears, "You sang and told me this, you and Alastor I'll never know the secrets behind your dazzling smiles, and those songs you both sing so naturally. Thanks."

Alastor was up against the wall eavesdropping is a rude word, he just wanted to make sure you were alright. He was too respectful to eavesdrop.

An hour later, again you think because you don't know how time worked in hell.

"Ah my dear! I see your less delusional than before!" Alastor came smiling, he was really relieved you were smiling.

He had never made a deal with you, because he hoped that one day he could see you truly happy when you return to Earth happily, and when you die, he knows he would most likely never see you again and now he will have two people to give up everything for to just see them once again.

After everyone left, you took Alastor's hand, "I see your in a much better mood!" Alastor commented, "It's thanks to you."

"Oh no my dear, Just smile and one more thing just rest a little more my dear."

And smile you did, the most purest one in his eyes.

ok, i'm just going to say it. there's a reason that some of us like reading monster/alien romance just as much as maybe even more than regular romance.

and no, it's not about the supernatural dicks (at least not for me).

in short, it's about respect. obviously, the monster/alien comes from a place somewhere other than human society on planet Earth. because of that, he is completely ignorant of the sexist bias inherent in our society. (and by inherent i mean literally trained into us since birth and embedded in every aspect of our society)

sometimes the monster's views are more misogynistic — but in those stories the heroine manages to change his views by earning his respect as they navigate their inter-special differences (aka, he learns and fixes himself).

usually, the monsters believe strongly in equality between the sexes, and they are often shocked and horrified if/when they learn of how human men treat their partners. [and yes, i know some of them are over-the-top protective to the point of being controlling, but even then it's because they view the heroines as someone to continuously be protected, cherished, and respected.]

TLDR: it's an escape into a romantic fantasy where the love interest is GUARANTEED to be a good partner because he literally could never think to harm, insult, or disrespect the heroine

Well folks, we had a good run but I've become that which I swore to destroy.

I've made... An *advertisement*.

Because it's seriously fucking impossible to market my book as a first time independent author.

The click through link is just going to be rileyquinnthefool.com which i think is charming in a gremlin-that-never-emerges-from-under-the-stairs way.

Then to be meta I might blaze this post or something. Idk. Drop a "fuck you" in the comments if seeing this dear creation of mine sapped life from your soul.

Introducing My Characters!

Thanks so much to everyone that voted in the naming polls! I am excited to show you all the final results and a little more about them.

These characters are for my personal WIP novel "Big Queer Liminal Train Trip"

It's about four queer arts students in New York who live on the West coast, and are taking a train back to their families for the summer. They're taking the train for some adventure! (and definitely not cause they want to prolong the time til they're back home).

They all have their own motivations and needs and wants related to family, career, themselves, and each other. But the train itself also has it's own needs and wants. And they're about to find out what those are.

I would classify it as Adult Paranormal/Science fiction.

Now, On to the main characters!:

This is Elias!

He/him, trans man, gay, aromantic , allosexual. His major is Actor/Singer. Elias is like a brother to everyone, platonic best friend love with Avi especially. He calls Margo "Mango", and Raine and Elias joke like siblings, play jokes on one another. Elias has a family that accepts him for who he is, but not "all the way" (for example, his mom saying stuff like, "Why do you need to go on hormones to be yourself").

This is Raine!

They/them, Agender, queer, allosexual and alloromantic.

Raine's Major is Music Composition, and they play the Violin. Their major stresses them out and all their friends insist they change it but they refuse (people pleaser for their parents).

Raine and Avi have had a crush on one another before, and almost kissed but then it was awkward and they didn’t so they just went their separate ways to dorms. Meanwhile now, Raine and Margo are in a romantic relationship eventually/getting there.

This is Avi!

Ze/zir, Bigender, queer, aromantic, allosexual.

Avi is the Meme lord of the group. It suits zir as zir Major is Activism Art. Ze does large scale projects as well as election memes, skits, and much more. Ze is looked up to as a meme saint by the rest of the group. Ze has a family that doesn't understand them and their humor one bit, however. Margo and Avi spend a lot of time together engaging in their shared interests like that they’re both in an art related major.

This is Margo!

She/They, genderfluid, Demi-girl, Asexual, Panromantic (changed from alloromantic to specify their romantic attraction).

Margo's Major is Digital Artist! She has been drawing since they were a little kid, and they have a talent for drawing backgrounds and details that her peers are jealous of. They couldn't be more happy with their major, but her family disagrees. Saying she's "Wasting their money" on art school. You mean the government's money from the scholarships she won? While simultaneously letting them go to art school? Kinda hypocritical there.

Anyway, her favorite things to do are take commissions from their friends, and they give them MANY. Though try as Elias might to get her to draw porn (it's where the money maker is, he says), that's just not her jam.

I hope you all enjoyed the descriptions! I'll be sharing more about them as time goes on and I flesh out the story and their relationships!

Polyamory, Demons, and the ordeal of being known

I made the brilliant decision to write a story for the burnt out gifted and talented, autistic, depressed, ADHD disasters who haven't picked up a book in half a decade. That is to say, I wrote a book for myself.
