In less than a month, my #adultlit #vampire #fantasy/#gothicromance launches on #ValentinesDay. As soon as the title is up for preorder, I'll let everyone know here! My manuscript is being formatted to become a "real book" as we speak, so I wanted to share a peek at the #bookinterior: cover page, title page, and section separators. 🧛🏻 🖤 Fun fact: #TheWisdomofBlood is long (500-ish pages), so it’s divided into four parts. Since the story is all about lightness, darkness, and every shade of gray between, each section has an innocuous title juxtaposed against a rather grim quote to set the mood. But I didn’t just pull these titles out of a hat; each item named plays a distinctive and important role in the storyline. There is a Fairytale introduced that has a very unique ending; the Kaleidoscope mentioned has supernatural properties; the Lullaby isn’t a comforting children’s song as one might expect; and the Mummery is a masquerade wrapped within a formidable mystery. •••Over the next few weeks I'll be revealing the playlist, pinterest board, and other insider facts about the characters, story, and symbolism to lead up to its debut. 🧛🏻 🖤 Quick book description: The gaslit-gothic atmosphere of a #VictorianEra #PennyDreadful meets the dangerous romance of #HadesandPersephone in this lush adult vampire fantasy fraught with passion, horror, and mystery. To see the full description and a high res #coverart image, visit my link tree and click “The Wisdom of Blood” tab. 🧛🏻 🖤 #bookdesign #newadult #historicalromance #bookworm #paranormal #aghoward #prettybooks #aesthetics #bookstagram #booktag #atmospheric #paranormal #aghowardbooks #romance #beautifulbooks #artwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUYVndge4e/?igshid=19y3cu0awj7mh

going back to the backlist this #FlashbackFriday with Medicine Road by @charlesdelint, illustrated by Charles Vess! I was already a big de Lint fan when I read Medicine Road (which is quickly became my favorite of his books!) but would you believe I hadn't heard of Charles Vess? But I fell in love with these illustrations and quickly became obsessed * * * “Medicine Road is like a dish made with a few strongly flavored ingredients. It has its impact and lingers in the memory just as long as a complex, subtly seasoned meal might. I heartily recommend it.” —Green Man Review #books #bookstagram #charlesdelint #novella #charlesvess #medicineroad #fantasy #fantasybooks #sevenwildsisters #urbanfantasy #illustratedbooks #urbanfantasybooks #bookinterior https://www.instagram.com/p/B6CB-zYA8at/?igshid=1su9loeuyldpz

I was aware of Conan the Barbarian, through cultural osmosis, but before working on The Sword & Sorcery Anthology I hadn't read any Robert E. Howard, or many others in this subgenre. Turns out, this book is one of my favorites in the Tachyon library! It's just so FUN, and it's great to return to right now, because who diesn't need some fun at the moment? Warriors and magic and weapons and adventure and good ol' cathartic violence! . The Sword & Sorcery Anthology is part of our Anniversary Humble Bundle (4 days left!), so you can get this and 23 more books for the price of one, plus help out charity!
