A card with a fancy border reading: "A 7-novella series of gay vampire erotic romance. Wholesome, romantic smut and also a plot. At a secret diner in Chicago, humans and vampires create a community. Strictly speaking, it's not a sex club. But the Haven is the only place vampires can be themselves, without the outside world getting a say. And, well, it turns out most folks find blood sucking erotic. Come get y'all beloved romance and erotica tropes." A card with a fancy border reading: "Book One. Finn and August. A gorgeous, charming vampire looking for his happily-eternally-after falls ridiculously hard for a shy, nerdy human who's never had a date in his life. Tropes: charming/shy (my fave), gentle dom/sub, virginity kink, strangers to lovers"

The pitch for Forewarning: Queer Romance FOREWARNING Prince Cole doesn't know why he psychically sees people's doppelgangers acting out the future, but it does come in handy. Cole's other secret not so much—he's desperately in love with his childhood best friend, royal guardsman Lucas, not least because Luc staunchly supports Cole being an openly nonbinary royal. Unfortunately, Cole can't marry a guardsman, and sweet, introverted Luc would never want to be a royal spouse anyway. But when a head of state is murdered and Cole's life is threatened, Luc steps in as Cole's 24/7 bodyguard. Together they must find a legendary weapon of mass destruction that threatens their own lives—and millions more. (And really, it would be easier for Cole to concentrate if his gorgeous bodyguard wasn't wandering around their room half-naked, but whatever. It's fine.) Comps for Forewarning: FOREWARNING is a bit like if Dean Koontz's ODD THOMAS was an upbeat queer romance. It will appeal to readers who enjoy K.J. Charles's DOOMSDAY series for its queer love story, strong B-plot, spice level, and titled/commoner dynamics; and the sassy tone of Alexis Hall's 10 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

#QueerPrompts 17: Line that foreshadows danger

The Bithynia was going to sink. One of the largest ships in the world was going to suffer some terrible accident on the open ocean. Hundreds of people were probably going to die. And Sean was the only one who knew.

From Book 2 of The Vampire Haven
A card with a fancy border reading: "Book Two. Sean and Will. An anxious, psychic human and a heartbroken vampire meet at sea in 1915, and must work together to save their ship from an awful fate, while dealing with their growing, inconvenient attraction. Tropes: strangers to lovers, annoyance to lovers, mind reading, forbidden romance" The title card for The Vampire Haven. A blue cityscape drawing by Sketchify on Canva, and the words: "Gay vampires falling in love in Chicago at a diner" with the words "sex club" crossed out. It continues with "The Vampire Haven, an erotic romance series by Dannye Chase." A card with a fancy border reading: "Want to read the Vampire Haven now?

#DVparty: queer romance FOREWARNING as a meme
Logline: A psychic nonbinary prince trying to solve a royal murder mystery must hide his romantic feelings when his guardsman best friend (and forbidden secret crush) becomes his bodyguard.
#A #CR #F #R #LGBT
modified from absolutesilly on twitter
A two-panel cartoon of Fred from Scooby Doo unmasking a villain. In the first panel, the villain's face is covered by a white sheet, and a text box reads "haha funny oblivious mutual pining! how do they not realize their feelings are mutual?" In the second panel, Fred has pulled the sheet off the villain, revealing his frowning face. A text box reads "They both believe the other is too smart to wish for an impossible future." The original meme, with a different second text box, was from absolutesilly on Twitter.
