Hello! I'm a trans nonbinary fantasy & science fiction writer of short fiction and poetry. I'd be thrilled if you checked out my recent dark fantasy story 'A Single Song', which retells a classic Grimm fairytale through a trans lens.

A Single Song by Nico Martinez Nocito
A harp made of bones, they say, will only ever play a single song. Haunting, my listeners called my melody, and beautiful. My fingers glided over the sinuous strings and my voice, the harp’s voice,…

Hi, I'm a nonbinary transmasc author of queer erotic romances laced with darkness. All my novels are on KU.
linktr.ee/MaximeJaz
I have a short story published in Boy Meat, an erotic transmasculine anthology benefiting Point of Pride.
payhip.com/cozylibraryc...
Other shorter works are on Medium.
Top in white handwritten font Maxime Jaz Sweeping love stories filled with pleasure and pain. From left to right mockups of the books Omnia Vincit trilogy Book 1,2,3 Donum, a young man half-naked head lowered, golden skin. Avis Aurea, two men half-naked, one embracing the other from the back. Pulsus Cordis Mei a Roman general sitting in his armor. Fall- an acrobat doing a handstand on a trapeze swing. Home- two men’s lips locking on top, in greyscale, a storm in the background and a frothy sea under their faces. Khirion- There are three characters in the middle, naked, they are only visible to the shoulders, and chest for the left one. Two men framing a woman. In Aeternum - greyscale photo of two men kissing, blood between their lips. In Aeternum Maxime Jaz Author of Donum in black letters His Lordship’s coachman – two men lying, their faces close, hands on one’s chest Sentence for Life- a muscled tattooed man stands on black background, leaning against a wall like structure. His thumb is hooked in the pocket of his low cut pants. Christmas Carols – a man in a hooded jacket stands in the snow on a city street, facing buildings and city lights. His back is to us. Eros – two men in a torn frame blue sky, flowers and a Greek temple KU logo Books are framed by a rainbow frame ICE The graphic is the boy meat anthology cover, which is a close up of a slab of meat in plastic packaging like at the grocery store. The words "boy meat" are written over the top in what looks like permenant market, and there is a printed nutrition label that says an erotic transmasculine anthology with all the contributors and curators listed.

Oh, hi! My name is Nicole and I have two books out in my series, World Without Love: This Is How Immortals Die and Garden of Rotten Roses (which has a trans MC and is included in the Trans People Take on the World Bundle!)

linktr.ee/NicoleHidalg...
Cover for This Is How Immortals Die by Nicole Hidalgo, made by David Leahey. It depicts the heavenly beautiful face of a woman (Aphrodite herself), a tear sliding down her only visible eyes, her hair flowing and blending in with the star-studded dark blue and purple cosmos behind her. The author's name, Nicole Hidalgo, is on top, while the title, This Is How Immortals Die, sits at the bottom. Some letters are stylised as Greek letters. Cover for Garden of Rotten Roses by Nicole Hidalgo, made by David Leahey. It depicts a woman dressed in broken Greek armour standing between a garden full of thorns and roses. The woman's hair is the colour of blood, and her face is half-turned towards the viewer, her one visible eye glowing red, her expression angry. The title and author's name are at the bottom, with some letters stylised as Greek letters.

Folks who have not read my books: please tell me what you can tell about my characters from the designs on this cover by @beedokfern.bsky.social alone.

Bookcover tease 👀

If you like horror with a touch of romance, haunted houses, or gargoyles, I hope you're getting hyped!

A book cover with torn lined paper laid overtop so you can only see the very top and very bottom of the cover. Top, a red sky and glimpse of a pointed roof and old walls. Shadow fingers a reaching up towards the sky. Bottom, close up of vibrant red roses.

The cover for the book "Tomb of Heart and Shadow" by author Cara N. Delaney. The title is a bright golden orange colour. Underneath is a pale golden arcane symbol made up of interlocking circles and triangles. The background is a stone-like pattern in a purple color. In the top left and bottom right corner, there are flowery ornaments in a brighter blue. The author's name in white is at the bottom. Cover design by covercreator.uk
