Since the book that was previously behind it is no longer free, I refilled the door with a book by an up-and-coming author!

Happy 2nd day of #DecRecs to those who celebrate! Today's recommendation is 'Even Though I Knew The End', by C. L. Polk. A thoughtful, wistful Chicago noir about a supernatural detective making deals with demons to sell (or redeem) her soul. Wonderful setting, clothes, mood, vibes; and a bittersweet approach to demon bargains that feels more real, somehow, than more traditional tales of this nature.

#FridayKiss from To Love the Dragon King. The closest I could get to the theme is “flattering” but the snippet is a description of Felix, whose book I’m writing now.

#FridayKiss: Theme: FLATTERY 😳
“Murderers don’t wait for anyone. Neither do soldiers, do they?” Rakkel took a bite of the stir-fry. “Oh, this is good.”
Nivet snorted. “𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗿.” Anyone could throw together veggies, rice, and chicken.

Done. That was fast. Only 500 pages :(
Awesome as usual. My only complaint - could have been a bit less of apologies going on between the MC. Slightly overdone perhaps. And not all loose ends needed explaining, some mystery would have been fine. Otherwise the hot scenes were hot, the gore was gory, the happy end was happy.

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 😊

Mother is finding old letters I sent her when I was 17 and in the hospital with anorexia. This one is dated March 28, 1988.
This is part of the reason I write books. So nobody has to feel as weird and alone as my 17 year old self did. Friends, there is no such thing as normal.

Sorcery is feared and shunned, but it can do so much good. No one need die of plagues that physicians cannot cure. And the corrupt and powerful can no longer hide behind money and hired violence, when Keepers of the Peace wield spy magic.
King Nartzeer will ensure that no one on Umarinaris dies needlessly, or unjustly, ever again.

I really enjoyed writing these guys. Partly because t'was a queer YA about a queer kid who needed a sense of community and connection—which had nothing to do with him getting a boyfriend and included no romance for him—but mostly because "Hope Echoes" was about how we've always been here.

(Reclusive ghost whisperer Seymour is crashing with his new colleague, recently ordained Episcopal priest and unconventional exorcist Milo, until the two of them can find a way to neutralize a demonic presence that's taken over Seymour's house. Despite Seymour's trademark misanthropy, an awkward little friendship is starting to bloom.)
I catch him looking at me again. Not at my eyes, for once. “Okay...do I, uh…have something on me or…?”
Milo’s eyes widen. “I’m so sorry, no…I keep looking at your hair.”
“My hair…?”
“I guess you could say I’m neurodivergent in some unspecified way and sometimes I become preoccupied with things.”
“…Like my hair?”
“It’s pretty. It’s very dark and shiny and I like the way the cut frames your face and kind of swoops over your eye and conforms to the shape of your head in the back.”
“Oh. Uh…thank you…?”
“I’m sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. I have to remind myself it’s unsettling for people if you stare at them. Because personally I never mind it. In fact I think it’s strange that most people seem afraid to look at each other. Anyway…I like your hair. But I’ll try harder not to stare at it.”
“It’s okay,” I hear myself saying.
He blinks. “…Is it?”
“I mean…it’s not a big deal or anything.”
“No, I know it’s weird. I was bad about it when I was younger and people really didn’t like it.”
“I don’t, uh…I don’t really mind.”
“…Really?”
“Yeah. It’s fine.”
We lapse into silence for a moment. He’s still stealing glances at me, but seems even shyer now, despite the permission—keeps looking away when our eyes meet.
“Do you…like having your hair brushed?” he asks out of the blue.
“Uh…I guess? Are you…you saying…you want to…?”
“I think it might get it out of my system. But I know that’s weird, so it’s completely okay if you’d rather I didn’t.”
“…You want to brush my hair.”
His fingers flutter against his knee. “I feel like it might resolve the fixation. But it’s totally okay if you don’t want me to. Actually, no—I’m sorry I asked. It puts you on the spot, doesn’t it? No, no—it’s okay.” He closes his eyes; lays his hand on his chest as it rises and falls in a soft, slow breath: “I can manage this myself…”
“Um…I guess you can brush it,” I hear myself say.
His eyes spring open, rounder than I’ve ever seen them. “Are you sure?”
“I mean…somebody’s gotta do it. If you don’t, I’ll just have to do it myself at some point.”
He giggles. “Um…okay. Thank you.”
“You’re…welcome?”
He pops up. “I have a really nice brush my hairstylist recommended. Let me go get it.”

The answer to 19 is short, so throwing 2 in there also, on my quest to get caught up!
19. Fun fact: Milo played center for his Catholic high school boys' varsity hockey team. (Probably the whole extent of the physical violence he's committed in his life.) Seymour has never played sports but is addicted to video games, especially CRPGs.
2. Seymour hasn't done much in the way of taking meaningful risks yet in his life. He has a history of taking certain habitual risks to distract himself: excessive alcohol consumption, risky sex...taunting angry ghosts. (The latter's actually a bit more on the meaningful side, since he's doing it to help the ghosts, but still not a deeply radical risk for someone who habitually disregards his own physical safety as a way of dissociating.)
Milo is intimate with the reality of impermanence and takes meaningful risks as a way of life, including being radically emotionally honest, connecting empathically to traumatized people, and trying to rehabilitate demons instead of sending them to hell. That said, there are risks he hasn't yet considered taking—such as seeking fulfillment for personal desires he pushed out of mind a long time ago.

(Might do one extra #PennedPossibilities each day till I've caught up on the ones I find most inspiring—because some of these are really good!)
I think when his story begins Seymour has a latent conviction that he's going to kill himself one day. It's his worst fear and the reason he keeps his life so closed off—so many things trigger him, and suicide's a very real possible consequence whenever he gets triggered. His best hope if he avoids that fate—so he believes—is growing old alone with the stray cats he feeds and his ghost pals who live in his house with him (between intermittent forays into toxic relationships).
Milo doesn't put a lot of stock in destiny; he's a mystic, and to him God represents a timeless present moment in which all things are possible, so in his mind the future's never fixed. That said, his belief in big dreams and fresh starts usually finds its application sparking hope in others who need it, and Milo's never imagined much for himself beyond a life of contemplation and social service.

#PennedPossibilities 18 (Hi! I'm seeing this hashtag floating around...could someone please tell me where the prompts are coming from? 🙏 )
SEYMOUR: That's a personal fucking question. I...guess you could say I've let go of everything I ever loved or wanted. Not because I had to. Because I just don't have it in me to hold on. Good things never stay, right? Or at the very least they never stay good. So I get out ahead of the bullshit. As soon as they go hot, I go cold. (That's right, I'm a serial ghoster. And yes, as a professional ghost-whisperer, I get the irony.)
MILO: Something I loved and had to let go of was the Catholic Church...and with it, all the moral high ground I had with my parents. They used to be so proud of me for following my calling to become a priest. Now I'm finally ordained, but because it's in the Episcopal Church and not the Catholic Church, to them I'm just a "lapsed Catholic." But for me it wasn't a choice. I wasn't going to stay part of any institution that wouldn't be welcoming to my trans sister.

#WritingWonders Day 23!
The two most prominent secondary characters in #TakeOnMe (fuggit, going ahead and dropping the title just for y'all here on Mastodon 💛) are Seymour's stepsister Claire and God. (Yes, THE God...or I should say Milo's personal version of them.)
CLAIRE: Have I ever wanted to smack Seymour or Milo...? No! Jeez. What kind of friggin' question is that? You'd have to be a stone-cold sociopath to want to smack Milo. And Seymour—dude. No. I've never wanted to smack him either. ...Well. I mean. Okay...maybe just a /teensy/ bit that time he said he didn't like my three-week-old baby. And also that one time when he...you know what, fine. Maybe there have been more than a few times I would've kinda liked to pop him one. But, jeez...he's such a friggin' sad boi. His dad dropped dead in front of him when he was just a kid, his mom abandoned him right after that...and then his grandma got cancer and he ended up out in the world on his own as a teenager. He's seriously been through a lot. I dunno...I just think he's actually a secret sweetie beneath those lil' hedgehog quills of his, you know what I mean? I'm gonna get him to roll over and show that soft underbelly someday...
GOD: Have I ever wanted to smack Milo or Seymour? [laughter that chimes like a zephyr and tickles like birdsong] Not at all. Have you ever seen them? They're just little human beans. So cute!
As for Milo and Seymour themselves, any smacking that may occur between them will be purely recreational, and likely confined to the posterior region. 😇

Just a handful of quick #WritingWonders answers for this month to get caught up! (Hi, gang! 👋 I missed y'all and hope y'all are well. I'll probably participate only sporadically till this #WIP is finished.)
My new WIP is a #queer supernatural mystery #romance codenamed #SeymourAndMilo (because I haven't made an official title announcement yet). The image is a crop of the in-progress book cover I've been working on, just so you can see what the protagonists look like (left: Seymour, right: Milo).
Day 1: If one of the protags showed up on my doorstep? I'd squint warily through my peephole like a true Millennial, then think to myself: "Oh my God, what is this [hot goth guy/hot priest (depending which one it is)] doing at my door???"
Day 2: Most readers will probably adore Milo from the start. Seymour's a prickly burr, but if folks stick with him they'll quickly learn he's all squish underneath.
Day 5: Seymour has been involved in a pretty significant (meta)physical altercation in the past. (We don't talk about it.)
Day 6: MILO: [can't think of anything that makes him /angry/-angry...maybe the U.S. mental health care system?] SEYMOUR: "Are you looking for a fucking monologue?"
Day 10: Weapon of choice? SEYMOUR: "My hands. But...not in the way you think." MILO: "My height and extraordinary chill. And, of course, the power of luv 🥺"
Day 15: Intimacy scenes? It's a romance. In a word: Yes.
Day 16: I'm good at and enjoy writing intimacy scenes. They can be a little awkward to share, of course, depending on the audience.
Day 17: SEYMOUR: "My ex-girlfriend, Lottie." MILO: "I give a lot of hugs, so I'm really not sure who the last person I hugged was...but I've never kissed anyone."
Day 19: Support the status quo? Hell, no. Seymour and Milo are both rebels in their own ways. (Seymour go smash; Milo gently expose the uncomfortable emotional truth that make you That Way.)
Day 21: Seymour's only a few months sober and drinks way too much coffee. Milo favors chamomile tea.
Day 22: Seymour doesn't have a friend group. Milo...doesn't either? Milo has a parish (and maintains good relationships with others in helping professions in Beacon Bay Isle and the surrounding townships). And no, Milo never causes drama in his parish...aside from pissing off the senior rector, usually by "going off script" when it's his day to give the homily.

I have been very lax about sharing my reading lately, but today I have a review of Death by Silver by Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold over at Nerds of a Feather.
How am I supposed to resist when Queen of Swords pitches it as a gay gaslamp fantasy murder mystery? And the elements are so deftly woven together it looks seamless.
I'm already looking forward to the sequel in December.

Happy March #WritingWonders, gang! 🙏✨ We're kicking it off with the softball questions, I see...
Since I'm still wrapping up Part 3, I'm back again this month with our queer epic switchblade-and-sorcery novel #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy and, for today, its precocious young alchemist co-protagonist, Jules. (You can check out the complete Parts 1 & 2 here: https://readformandvoid.com/the-nullweaver-cycle/those-who-create-and-destroy/ )
How is Jules *not* me, would be an easier question to answer. He's a prickly pear with a heavily guarded warm heart and a rarely seen or acknowledged effusive side, who escapes his trauma by trading in human realities for cosmic conceptualizations. He reaps the social rewards of high achievement (not so much me now, but me in grade school) and toxic self-sacrificing (also me until recent years), while continuing to feel vaguely but deeply unfulfilled in both his intimate and his inner life (once again, me till recently).
Jules lives as a mostly-out-and-visible trans man in a largely socially conservative magic wainscot society in the aughts—which has a range of social ramifications. I, by contrast, am usually taken for a cis woman (outside my inner circle) and (usually) let it slide. 🙃 But I think Jules and I both feel essentially genderless, while at the same time experiencing dysphoria, to no small extent, at times, with our "female" bodies, but more intensely and persistently with the social roles and perceptions traditionally associated with femaleness in our cultures of origin (although we're both also able and willing to lean on "feminine" expressions in limited circumstances, when it serves our purposes). Part 3 flashes back to trace the arc of Jules's gender experience from childhood, and, while his journey differs in many ways from mine, the book's climax finds us both in more or less the same place (albeit still using different pronouns... I seem to be more partial to "they," at least for now).
I could go on, but instead I'll just say that, aside from being (rather aspirationally) more organized and more accomplished, more action-oriented and more abrasive, Jules is about as "me" as any character I've ever written—though I wasn't at all aware of this when @dontdoitneil and I first started drafting TWCAD in 2016. Jules, I like to think, came along to help me see myself more clearly, at a time when I'd all but lost sight.

I’m excited that a very dear friend is releasing their new speculative fiction novel in March! It’s a moving story, following people (some LGBTQ, some not) who move to the world’s first gay state of Berlin Germany, and the worldbuilding is really excellent. They posted a trailer to youtube, because apparently books have trailers now (and it’s great, so I’m glad they do 😍) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pxYk2bUPw8

B is for THE BRUISING OF QILWA by Naseem Jamnia
Fantasy novella set in a Persian-inspired queernormative world, THE BRUISING OF QILWA follows Firuz, a nonbinary aroace healer and blood magic user, as they unravel the mystery of a new diseases. Lush and intense, this incredible story packs *so many* layers of queerness, political strife, community and family. One of my 2022 favourites.

A is for ADRIFT IN STARLIGHT by Mindi Briar
We start with a sci-fi romance in the Halcyon Universe, which I first had the pleasure of discovering several years ago, when I edited Wings of Renewal. A fast-paced intergalactic heist with a sprinkle of dragons in space, this one promises to be a great light read when I want to find loveable characters to cheer on.
