Hello, I'm the writer of queer gothic fantasy that follows a blood mage spymaster as she recruits a noble bastard with a terrible gift to hunt down a magical serial killer for the vampiric Eternal King—all while planning to overthrow him.

Isaac, featured on the cover of LORD, is a trans man.

Cover for Mistress of Lies by K. M. Enright, The Sunday Times bestseller. Black cover, with a scowling long-haired woman in a Gothic style red and gold headdress and brocade sleeves like wings against a background of red and white roses. Her hands are tipped in gold claws and she holds a long dagger. Blurbs from Melissa Caruso — “Dark, dangerous, and entrancing” — and Sara Hashem — “A decadent story that won’t let you go.”

Cover for LORD OF RUIN by K. M. Enright. Black cover, with a dark haired Filipino man in a Gothic style embodied suit jacket in shades of blue and gold. Black wings with a similar gold embroidered design stretch behind him against a background of blue with white flowers. His hands are tipped in black talons and he holds a bright red anatomical heart. Blurb from Thea Guanzon — ”K. M. Enright is definitely one to watch.”

Let them know what you think.

Gov. Healey: 617-725-4005
AG Campbell: 617-727-2200
Fenway: 617-267-0900

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:

Hello, my name is [name] and I'm a [transgender] constituent living in [City], Massachusetts. I'm calling to bring to Gov. Healey's attention the deeply alarming development coming from Fenway Health, in which they've recently announced they will no longer provide gender affirming healthcare to patients under the age of 19 in order to retain their federally recognized status. This is in utter direct violation of our state constitution, specifically Chapter 127, in which quote, "Access to reproductive health care services and gender-affirming health care services is a right secured by the constitution and laws of the commonwealth. Interference with this right, whether or not under the color of law, is against the public policy of the commonwealth." This is also in contradiction of Boston declaring itself a sanctuary city for transgender people, the resolution which states Boston has, quote, "a specific commitment to protecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals. Taxpayer-funded agencies shall not comply with federal efforts to strip resources that safeguard their rights. Boston will not cooperate with federal or state policies that harm transgender and gender-diverse people and remains committed to ensuring their access to healthcare...without fear or discrimination."

As Massachusetts' first openly gay Governor, I'm aware that this past August Gov. Healey signed updated Shield laws protecting gender affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. Jordina Shanks, the CEO of Fenway Health herself, said these protections are quote, "a landmark victory for health care, human dignity... and that Massachusetts stands as a national beacon of equity and compassion." I am in complete and utter disgust, yet unsurprised, that a leading institution in gender affirming healthcare is capitulating to federal threats that are not law, and acting in direct opposition to the city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a deep betrayal of their transgender patients. I urge Gov. Healey to bring all powers of the state to investigate and reverse this gross over-compliance on the part of Fenway Health.

This is one of the MOST effective forms of book marketing and one where a lot of midlist trad authors have their hands tied, since we don't control how many ARCs we get or who they go to.

If trad wants midlist to do better, give us ARCs and get them into the right hands!

Micah Nemerever @nemerevermore.bsky.social · 14h

by far the most effective marketing and publicity effort by my publisher was getting advance copies into the hands of the right early readers

Vetoing HRT stockpiling is so fucking ghoulish.

If trans people make it the next 4 years en masse, it will be from our own strength, not because of the Democrats.

"You can change your name, but you can't stockpile on life saving care!" Kiss my ass.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Saint and I share a publisher (as does Bitter Karella, mentioned in thread) and honestly, this is one thing I adore about Orbit. They give no pushback in letting us include CWs!

(I do want to say that my books are more dark fantasy than strictly horror, but the CWs are just as important there!)

Koren/K. M. Enright @kmenright.bsky.social · 1d

The vampires in my series are diverse. We start off with elegant, aristocratic Blood Mages, but that's only the veneer. Slowly, we unveil the rot underneath, the hunger that turns man into beast as vampires are born, and we don't stop there.

Interested? The story starts in MISTRESS OF LIES.

ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1. Rates should have been published in August. Mike Johnson hopes you don’t know that. But my mom is an independent insurance agent. Has been for 20+ years. So she does know that.

SUMMER SONS x CAMP DAMASCUS

BLESSED BE THE FLESH is an adult horror romance about an amnesiac cult escapee and the lonely trucker who picks him off the side of the highway. Remembering his past may destroy him, but what he's forgotten will destroy the world.

#DVpit #A #H #LGBT

A collage with images of sweaty boys almost kissing, a human/bird monster, and a cowboy pulling a horse under an intensely cloudy sky. There are also the words “A love like that made me someone new. Not even because I chose to change, I had no choice in the matter; the feeling swept me up and molded me into someone I didn’t recognize before I could look down and understand just what I had gotten myself into.”
