BODYSHARE is a queer fantasy novella that follows Luke Milton, a recent college graduate and divorcee who, in exchange for success in his music career, agrees to share his body with the devil. Coming to a website near you on 8th October 2024!

You can PRE-ORDER the novella here or apply to be an advance reader here!

And here's the entire summary:

Luke Milton made a deal with the devil. Now, he's getting everything he ever wanted: musical opportunities, charting albums, world tours, and a thriving fanbase. The only cost? His body, which he now shares with the devil itself as it goes about its mysterious business. All in all, the tradeoff isn't too bad. He's also always wanted an intimate connection.

After both his college diploma and his divorce papers are signed, twenty-two-year-old Luke Milton is approached by the devil—an energetic force that's been present in one way or another for his whole life—who lauds him with praise for his musical skill and insists that it could help him further his career. When initial reviews of his EP are shaky, it doesn't take long before Luke is agreeing, even though the terms of the deal require him making space in his body for the devil the share.

Luke's career develops rapidly, and so does his relationship with the devil. As they work together through album releases and world tours, they become further and further intertwined, and Luke has to wonder if it's worth it.

Another bodyshare fanart post-ending in which Luke’s cousin *knows* something is up with him and is so close to connecting the dots !!

do you, perhaps, have any good recommendations? i don't really know any at all hah

If you're looking for a fandom to get into, I think the biggest and most relevant would be the recent Venom movies? Eddie/Venom is a really fun ship! I have not gone too deep into it though.

Podcast wise there is Malevolent and SAYER (SAYER is more "voice in character's head" than true bodyshare but mumblemumbleSpoilerscoughcough very worth it)

I'm probably going to check out Ghostwire when I get the chance, but otherwise most of the other bodyshare I'm into is me inserting it into canons that don't have it yet XD;;;

BODYSHARE is OUT NOW!!!

I can’t keep touching you like this, if it’s just temporary bliss

Just under a year ago, I released BODYSHARE: A Novella 🖤 
My elevator pitch has always been “a recent college graduate and divorcee makes a deal with the devil: in exchange for a thriving musical career, he agrees to share his body” and I stand by that as something that encompasses the plot. Bodyshare is a story of being a creative, of being desperate for connection and appreciation for your art, and of the mental health struggles that can haunt and overtake even the biggest successes.

The world of Bodyshare is in many ways a funhouse mirror of our own, where very real struggles are made manifest by the actual, literal devil and instead of Buzzfeed, people find their listicles on SizzleScroll. Working on this book taught me so much about myself, about the craft of writing, and about making the vision in my head come to life. Luke Milton is a very precious character to me. As of this month, he’s been wandering around my head for TEN WHOLE YEARS. He is not my longest-standing character, but he is the oldest of them that I have shared with you, dear reader, and that means something to me.

some of my personal favourite sections from BODYSHARE, my novella about a musician who agrees to share his body with the devil in exchange for a successful career. Out now!
