Just finished writing book 2! Anxiety-ridden psychic human Sean & sad vampire Will meet in 1915 on what is 100% the RMS Lusitania by a different name, because this is upbeat erotica so our heroes save the day and the ship! Previews coming after 2nd & 3rd draft lol

On this day in 1816, a woman known only as the “Female Stranger” died in Virginia. She and her grave are real. Her legend is most likely not. Visit my Weird Wednesday blog to learn more & get writing prompts!

Working on the SPIRITS, the second book in The Custodians series, and it's definitely shifted from the original outline—in a good way, though!

Also a reminder that you can preview my WIPs early on my Patreon 🖤

Open book with black page that has a city grid map pattern under the title "Seven - Evie" and cut off text at the bottom of the frame. There's a woven star light and a translucent cable on a black surface in the background of the upper corner.

Most women can't keep up with B—until K shows up. K is smart, sexy, dangerous, and came back even after B threw a grenade at her

The problem is K is trying to collect the price on her head

🐮🔥 COVER REVEAL TIME 💚🐺
Another amazing illustration by @caraid.bsky.social. Look at those colors! The buffalo's name is Lune, and you'll meet her VERY SOON, because Feral Flame will release NOVEMBER 11!
#NossSaga #BookSky 🌈📚

Cover for Feral Flame - Book Four of the Noss Saga, by Joaquín Baldwin. A one-horned buffalo holds her hands forward to control a green flame shaped like a running wolf. Her brown fur is draped with long white fabrics that flow in the wind and blend into the pink mist behind her. Her horn is decorated with golden caps and rings, her nose and ears pierced. Her green eyes stare directly at the viewer.

#TheRoadToRuins No. 13

The final proof checks are complete!

At 60K words, Ruins is the shortest of my Dark England series.

And with its hauntings, its stalker storyline & its slasher-esque finale it’s a #mystery that wears its #horror heart on its sleeve…
