I did last night 🥳

As much as I hesitate to recommend Amazon as a book buying platform anymore, it was cool to watch a single preorder jump me from ~200th in my best category to ~70th. If I ask nicely and you're already having to order from there, please consider getting my novella too? www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTWJ89VC

I'm in this haiku
And I do not like it much
But it is very true

some people call it
"underwriting" i call it

E.M. Anderson | the author too hot for BlueSky @elizmanderson.com · 12h

and here's a static cover reveal post for people who want to skip the book trailer and/or hate videos! cover art by Lucy Rose

THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July 2026, from @hanoversquarepress.bsky.social! #author

preorder now: gatheringvolumes.com/item/44euZQq...

the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, framed in gold with gold flowers against a dark teal background around the edges. The cover is teal with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."

"When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." Text is in a textbox against a murky image of a forest, with the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood below the text, all against a dark teal background with gold curlicues in the corners.

The cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood on a dark teal background with golden leaves overhead, surrounded by yellow text reading: plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality; Beauty & the Beast inspired by not a retelling; dual-POV brother/sister; love interest turning slowly into a beast; wound-tending.

That said…Dorothea/Petra, Annette/Mercedes, or Shamir/F!Byleth are my top choices. For a non-Three Houses pairing, I’d say Yunaka/Etie (Engage), Lissa/Cordelia (Awakening), or Lyn/Florina (Blazing Blade). If we’re going cross gen (because I can), L’Arachel/Annette. I need it.

Every once in a while I'm tempted to write a blog post. More than what I occasionally do on my Ko-fi for monthly supporters. And I get this itch to create a Tumblr again despite disliking it both times I was on there in the past. And yet...

3. It caused this nice screenshot on my Ko-Fi page

S. Morgan Burbank @anotherindiewriter.com · 1d

So another one came in and it caused a few things to happen all at once.

1. If all physical preorders go through (I know weird things can happen with shipping) I'll get to ship to 2 new states and 1 new country
2. My states I've shipped to map of the US will finally be able to connect coast 2 coast
