#Booksky Okay, today is going to be something of a clusterf**k. I have lost my voice as a result of Hell Cold. By all means, come say hi at Booth 512 if you’re at TC Book Fest, but remember that you can find all our books in print and ebook at our website too! queenofswordspress.com

Going to a costumed performance about the Fox Sisters tonight, but tomorrow will be home watching things and hopefully doling out some candy. Might do a rewatch of this, along with “Bell, Book and Candle,” as is customary. m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5...

We just released a new edition of M.Christian’s gay vampires with a twist novel RUNNING DRY! Totally biased, but think this is an exciting ride with unforgettable characters that does some cool things with the trope. And our cover artist loved “Sinners!” 🦇🖤

#Booksky #Fridayreads So…not to put too fine a point on it, but our sales have dropped over 50% since August and our publisher is currently “between day jobs“ (3+ months) so if you’re thinking of buying any of our books or requesting them at your library, NOW would be great. queenofswordspress.com
