Happy #sludgepit to all who celebrate. My new dark, trans, vampire thriller novel SKIAMAKHIA drops on Halloween, so there's no better time to familiarize yourself with it's vibes and grab yourself a pre-order while the going's good.

When the tech company Kolton Moreau built with his brother experiences a surprisingly profitable quarter, the doors to high society open up to make way. Fancy parties, new business contacts, a seat at the adult’s table… It should have been a windfall and the logical reward for their years of hard work, but as Kolton begins to rub elbows with the societal elite, he realizes things aren’t quite so clear cut. From persistent attempts at corporate takeover to shady deals nudged towards him under the table, the risks begin to outweigh the potential rewards as Kolton finds himself pursued by a mysterious group keen on obtaining his allegiance, one way or another. It stood to reason that rising through the ranks would open doors. Kolton just wished he took the time to consider who—or what—would be waiting for him on the other side.

A vampire corporate thriller tinged with familial strife, relationships of convenience-meets-passion, horror, and intense world-building, Skiamakhia serves as a standalone novel in The Dark Vagaries series but is best paired with its companion book Letifer.

Autassassinophilia should probably remain a fantasy

Brennan loves to daydream about being violently murdered, but is it still as funny when it leaves the safety of his mind and enters reality?

This short story is 5000 words long

Hey Tumblr, do we do pitch events here?

🗑️🥡🍌🤮🪰🐟

Join me today--Feb 17th 2025--all day for my first ever pitch event!! 

SLUDGEPIT is an LGBTQIA2S+ specific event to celebrate all dark and taboo fiction, this an event to connect authors with one another, build community and celebrate our work. 

I’ve been seeing a demand even within my own community for censorship of my peers. Increasing restrictions of rights & legislation against trans people will not stop & spare “the good ones”. SOME PIT GUIDELINES

Spend embarrassingly long on this, but seeing everyone’s incredible contributions was just too inspiring 🥹 - so hereby my contribution to #sludgepit hosted by @wolfehorror 🩶

Sin of a Smile (working title)

A guardian angel, Floreayn, is cast from the heavens for having emotions as it is deemed an imperfect human quality unfit for angels. After his fall he is taken in by a powerful demon who uses his divine assets for her own gain. When Floreayn notices things going very amiss in the human world his loyalty towards the heavens or hells is questioned. Would god even listen to a fallen angel? Or does his silence mean something more?

•

Lethonomia

Thaddeus is the heir of a very powerful fae family. His life is settled and before he gets his adult name on his 100th birthday he refuses to take life too seriously. What else is near immortality for? When he unexpectedly is roped into the mechanics of his House, he discovers that life might not be that easy and that perhaps he might not be in the graces of his gods. What price are you willing to pay to make sure your immortality is not hell?

Very sad, dark and queer stories that hopefully will see the light of day someday 🩶

Hiii everyone, @wolfehorror is running a fabulous pitch and pomo event for stigmatized and taboo works by indie authors called #SLUDGEPIT

I'm using this opportunity to announce my current WIP--I've posted a few snippets here (all tagged Hell is a Dog's Love or Dog Town) but I wanted to share the formal synopsis with you all.

🦴DOG TOWN🦴

Sheena Patel’s I’m a Fan X The Passenger (2023) X Ostessa Moshfegh’s Eileen X Spanking the Monkey (1994)

🐩 mission from god or alcohol withdrawal induced psychosis? Dealers choice 🐩 dog motif taken to the extreme 🐩 kidnapping and hostage situation 🐩 going postal at ones minimum wage job 🐩 lesbian mommy issues x10000 🐩 road trip from hell

Agnes is a dog-hating playgroup handler at a corrupt urban Dog Daycare facility, secretly fixated on her plain and unassertive younger co-worker, Emma Sweet. Slowly and secretly losing her mind and unable to separate reality from delusion, Agnes grows increasingly convinced she can save Emma from the dead-end mundanity of their job, and thus sets out to prevent her self appointed mentee from falling victim to a life of regret.

As #SLUDGEPIT comes to an end, a huge, massive thank you to @wolfehorror for organizing this event, #sludgepit ! I think the idea is so needed and such a wonderful idea to bring creatives together. My contributions to #sludgepit are two #WIPS with the tab00 short story being here sooner rather than later so keep an eye out for updates on that!!
