I'm also offering signed copies of #IntoTheForgottenForest! $20 plus shipping, and I can ship anywhere in the world.

Sorry, Martians. Maybe next time!

Following up on my cover reveal yesterday, I thought I also give you the blurb. I never know if OCEAN'S BLOOD a (queer) romance or not. Well, yes, it just doesn't follow the usual pattern, it's about "the fine line between hatred and obsession" for a reason 😊

After the Great Darkness of 1999, air travel underwent a significant transformation. The economic and infrastructural collapse made it unsustainable for airlines to operate jets, and there were mysterious disappearances of those still in the air. Consequently, Zeppelins became the primary mode of air travel. Amidst this shift, legends arose about a Black Zeppelin, a supposed harbinger of disaster. Sightings of this ominous airship are said to predict doom, with pilots reporting engine failures, unexpected mutinies, and other bizarre incidents leading to zeppelin crashes. Despite these tales, many dismiss the Black Zeppelin as a myth, a product of pilot superstition.

Hey folks!!

I'm trying a new thing!

My books are #DarkFantasy, and they have everything from #werewolves to Primordial Greek Gods.

Ask me stuff! Or tell me what your favorite myth/lore/legend is, and I'll tell you about a character it reminds me of.

OR tell me a character you liked in one of my books, and I'll send you a song that reminds me of them!

You can also find links, reviews, and trailers on my website:

The Beach of Ebon is a legendary shore that some individuals have claimed to visit. Access to this beach is reportedly unpredictable; some allege to have stumbled upon it after dozing off on a typical beach, awakening on an unfamiliar stretch of black sand, while others recount diving into the ocean and surfacing to encounter a darkened coast. There are also tales of sailors who have chanced upon it amid their voyages. The beach is characterized by its ebony sands and towering gothic sand castles, said to house enigmatic yet indifferent beings. Descriptions include surreal vistas beyond the beach and otherworldly creatures luxuriating under a dark sun. Nevertheless, these accounts remain unverified, casting the Beach of Ebon as a fantastical legend of a twilight realm.

The Library of Unwritten Books, an Obscuruum uncovered after the Darkness of 1999, houses a vast collection of books detailing histories that never transpired. Intriguingly, these books contain genuine photos. Even more perplexing, some artifacts referenced in the books have been found, presenting a paradox. Scientists remain baffled by these contradictions.

The Other-Sided are interdimensional beings dwelling at the crossroads of the Great Below and our known reality. Their distinguishing characteristic is their summoning through mirrors, which serve as gateways. These mirrors allow humans to glimpse or even exchange places with their Other-Sided, darker selves. When such a switch transpires, the result is a grotesque entity from sunless depths. Notably, the being's presence in our world depends on its continuous reflection in the mirror. These creatures sometimes dwell in houses made of mirrors so they might maintain their presence.

The Coffin of Iver's Green, an Obscurum, was unearthed in the quaint hamlet of Suttercraft. This town harbors countless black coffins beneath its earth, yet the Coffin of Iver's Green is the most largest to rest in its accursed ground. Utilizing ultrasonic technology, scholars have fetermined that the Coffin's dimensions span the entire breadth and length of Suttercraft. The contents of the Coffin, though, remain unknown. However, many citizens claim to have horrible dreams of the thing in the colossal casket, causing them unparalleled dread.

The chapel of a mysterious faith was uncovered in a recently discovered region of Canada. Although details are scant, the religion centers on transcending death through a form of metamorphosis. Intriguingly, the site contained human-sized funerary eggs and cocoons, cracked open as if something had emerged from them. Despite extensive inquiries and anthropological studies, little is understood about this religion.

While the Scream Eaters present a frightening visage, they are not combatants by nature. As with many entities that traverse the shadowy realms, they encounter numerous adversaries, including other walks of darkness. Consequently, Scream Eaters are commonly safeguarded by "Inflictors"—a warrior caste within their own ranks skilled in martial tactics. These guardians defend the enclaves of the Scream Eaters and are unleashed against any who threaten their kin. Inflictors harness pain as a weapon, both consuming and dispensing it through various methods.

Rumors persist that the government, or mysterious groups influencing it, have intercepted odd signals from the defunct satellites still circling Earth. After the Great Darkness, these satellites became unmanageable relics. Yet, there are whispers of eerie images they sporadically transmit—unnerving visuals of colossal entities hovering in orbit. While concrete information is scarce, a few accounts suggest these figures are of enormous scale, overshadowing the planet. Nonetheless, such reports are generally dismissed as post-noctum urban myths or legends.

After Oli goes through a portal into the Forgotten Forest, her brother is left behind to answer to the Steward of the Limmikin Throne. And as she makes her way through the strange new world and beyond, she discovers new truths about her family—including the existence of a long lost sibling. Once reunited in their own realm, the Locklears make a pact to find out what their parents have been hiding from them.

Meanwhile, other players are moving across the board. Evienne and Merys worry what it means that they can't divine any possible futures in their realm. Beth, an Ageless vigilante is in town seeking answers. An Unseelie spy has infiltrated the Pack. Then there's the return of an old friend—or enemy, depending on your point of view. In secret, Veda practices with her powers with varying results, and Harper begins to see things she shouldn't.

With new allies and foes on both sides, it's a race to find the Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann. If Oli and the Pack can get their hands on all of them, they may just have a chance at stopping the walls between realities from breaking down. And as the Outcrossed untangle their own pasts, the Shadow Queen is readying her forces for an invasion, and she's enlisted the help of a very old enemy who has no other choice but to take up her quest. But when the wolf moon rises over Birch Hollow, they'll all find out who is truly in control of the fate of the multiverse.

Oli Locklear has moved around from city to city her entire life until now, and though she'd always dreamed that magic was real she should've been careful what she wished for.

In the small town of Birch Hollow, in Western Massachusetts, the forest seems endless. Magic is everywhere. Creatures of myth and lore roam between the trees at night, people keep going missing, and there are doorways to other realms. Here, Oli will discover that she and her twin brother Xander are on the verge of becoming monsters, themselves, and that an ancient faery queen is out for their blood.

The Shadow Queen wants every one of the Outcrossed not under her thumb to die. She knows that only one of them can defeat her. It has long since been foretold. But she wants more than just their deaths; she wants to tear down the walls between the worlds.

As Oli and Xander—along with their friends—are thrown into a new reality of vampires, werewolves, faeries, magic, danger, secrets, and prophecy, they are forced to choose a path. But will the one they take lead them to the light, or down into shadow?

Cover art shows a werewolf mid-transformation. Pencil drawing by Nancy Farmer. 

Book extract reads: I frowned at a vague recollection. ‘The Buckinghamshire family? Wasn’t there a younger son who died in a house fire or some such calamity last year?’ 
‘That’s what the world believes.’ Challoner nodded. ‘We have reason to think otherwise.’ 
‘He is—’ Balfour hesitated ‘— afflicted.’
 ‘Violently afflicted,’ said Murray earnestly. ‘He is a very dangerous man.’ 
‘Not that it’s immediately apparent,’ Challoner explained. ‘From day to day, he will appear perfectly sane. Until the fit comes upon him.’ 
‘Then he’s a killer,’ Balfour said bluntly. 
I stiffened, startled. ‘Why aren’t the police—?’ 
‘They believe he’s dead.’ Murray shrugged. 
I saw the other two exchange another speaking glance. There was more to this than met the eye. 
‘So if you can discover his whereabouts—?’ I left my question dangling like a lure. 
‘We will naturally inform the authorities,’ Challoner said smoothly. ‘Quite so.’ I didn’t believe that assurance for a second. 
So much the better. I was still hoping for the dramatic story which I would need to set Fleet Street by its ears. Though I should have recalled the adage bandied about Piccadilly’s clubs in recent years. Be careful what you wish for.

Some interesting notes I've heard about how to run dark fantasy in Pathfinder or DnD.

Test a character's emotional maturity.

Challenge the hero.

Make an understandable villain.

He gasped for breath as he clamoured, his metal gauntlets slipping on the broken skulls, spines, and whatever other pieces of creatures he didn't even recognize, wrenching himself free even as the bones settled around him. He could hear Lucy and Phillip beneath him, their panicked whimpers and moans as they struggled to breathe under the crushing weight.

I'm in need of some help, friends. My bills are piling up, and I am poor folk. I'd like to be able to eat this month.

Both eBooks in #TheOutcrossedSeries are on sale right now through 6/9. Any sales would help!!

I've been told the series is reminiscent of The Vampire Diaries, The Mortal Instruments, and The Shannara Chronicles.

I write #Horror, #DarkFantasy, #Fantasy and everything in the wobbly spaces between those. My work typically focuses on #queer characters and themes. I write those problematic gays.

You can find a full list of my published work to date here. https://cbridhblanchard.weebly.com/my-work.html

Outside of writing I knit, read, play video games, bother cats, and wander the woods looking for bones.
