It's here, btw, if anyone feels like reading this sort of book early (because I, once again, was too wordy for BlueSky's character limit in a single post 💀)

Dr. Jay Vert (Blood Sisters OUT NOW) @nonbinarycat.bsky.social · May 23

Blood Sisters is an urban fantasy novella with a toxic yuri/lesbian romantic substory and my first fiction book!

Below is a rough draft for a blurb of the book. I’m currently in the editing process.

🩸OUR CRIMSON CAGE cover reveal!!🩸

i'm pleased to help spread the word about @ladzwriting.bsky.social's latest book, coming to you August 11th!

this folkloric bloodbath is sure to be a delightful read on hot and sticky summer nights😮‍💨

#booksky #writingcommunity #books #adultSFF #queeradultSFF

a book cover is shown over a darkened background of a flower field; the cover itself is black with grungy white text that reads OUR CRIMSON CAGE with red text below reading LADZ, the author name; the woman on the cover looks very scary with red glowing eyes, long black nails, and a desaturated and cool palette

the same book cover is shown from the previous image but the graphic says PREORDER NOW at the top; some taglines for the book are to the left of the cover and read as follows:

gothic folk horror
HEA (horribly ever after)
1850s Poland
fuck/marry/kill
menstruation
toxic lesbian vampires

the bottom text of the graphic reads: Coming August 11th, 2026

It's my pleasure to help announce that @morgandante.bsky.social 's newest book cover has been revealed! 🖤🥀

Coming out March 31st. Add it on Goodreads now!

Book design by Alex Patrascu.
#queeradultSFF #adultSFF #SFF #booksky

image of a trope map of a novel called HALLOWED BE THY NAME by Morgan Dante. very dark flowery background with the words, "COVER REVEAL. M/M Catholic priest x demon romance. Add it on Goodreads now!" The tropes read as follows:

"Trans man,
Catholic priest,
One night stand becomes twenty night stands, but it totally doesn't mean anything,
They sleep together many times before they kiss on the lips,
Good if you liked:
Tosh O'Connor Father Judd in Wake Up Dead Man,
Also good if you liked The Exorcist
TV show,
Southern diners and moody late night autumn/winter vibes,
Exploration of tender masculinity,

Sarcastic demon,
Creative uses of a demon's long forked tongue and tail,
That comforting bath/washing the blood away scene that I like to do,
Two lonely souls connecting,
Angst,
Dealing with grief and loneliness while facing the final boss (emotional vulnerability),
Immortals (fallen angels),
are deeply scarred and refuse to acknowledge this,
The demon calls him Father"

Cover by Alex Patrascu is a rendering of an image of Saint Sebastian edited red blood.

Hey, #booksky! I don’t just write #AdultSFF, I like to draw my characters, too! Meet Kerick, the main character of my novel, The Bloodweaver. This took me approximately 30 hours to draw (by hand NO AI) using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop.

If you’re interested in seeing more, follow along!
