Meet Elias and Inquisitor T. Sterling, the main (T4T 🏳️‍⚧️) couple in my upcoming novel, The Witch of Eden Hollow. Elias is a witch. Sterling is a witch hunter. What could go wrong?? You can read all about them Next Friday!! 🌈📚️ Uni Link: books2read.com/u/mZR9kD Itch: gt-anthony.itch.io/witch-x-hunter

Top Caption: Meet Elias and Inquisitor T. Sterling

Left Hand Image:
Commission of an llustration by Roan aka @faindriart.bsky.social (credit also at the bottom of the image)
Pictured are two trans men staring each other down. They look like they either want to kill each other or kiss each other.
The taller on the left (Elias) is a thin, pale man with pointed ears. He has long black hair with silver streaks and a green gradient on his forehead and cheeks.
The man on the right (Sterling) is a heavyset white man with dark, receding hair and sparse stubble.
Elias has a hand on Sterling's chest and is serving a glare that can kill. Sterling meanwhile is gripping Elias' other arm and glaring at him. His expression is a mix of disgusted and offended.

Righthand Text:
Inquisitor T. Sterling, the most prolific witch hunter in the world, vows to destroy all magic to prevent what happened to him from happening to anyone else:
A loss so horrific that led to him hiding his transness and assimilating to a hostile religion as means of preservation.

Elias' life is tied to an ancient, dying forest, with his fate being resigned to join it unless he can trust the witch hunter hired to kill him to help him save it.
Though trust does not come easy once a heart has been shattered and left to rot once before.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Oct 2 I'll be working on The Bird and the Blade! It's a MM Fantasy Romance with bandits, kidnapping, and bird facts! Here's the pitch graphic for it and a mood board from back when it was still "Bandit WIP"
Over a green background: THE BIRD AND THE BLADE: MM Fantasy Romance

Tropes: 🪶 MM Fantasy Romance
🪶 Bandit x Noble
🪶 Kidnapping!
🪶 Questioning Power
        Structures
🪶 Singing Bandits
🪶 Robin Hood Vibes
🪶 Certified Bird Guy
A picture of an arrow, a feather, and a sword 
Blurb: Callum Amberline is about to get married, but there is one small problem. He’s been kidnapped by bandits. Callum should be furious and indignant, but he’s not these bandits seem to understand him better than his family or betrothed ever have. Especially Wilder, the son of the bandit queen. But one shouldn’t be friendly with one’s kidnappers. 
Wilder may have made an impulsive decision kidnapping the betrothed of his arch nemesis, but he’s having a hard time regretting it. He likes Callum, noble though he may be. 
As the unfortunate circumstances of their meeting catch of with them, Callum and Wilder must ignore the simmering attraction between them. You can’t fall in love with your kidnapper.

#SFFChat Q4 There's a few moments in The Need for Dandelions and The Witch of the Wood that I think are well done! Here's a creepy little snippet from The Witch of the Wood! CW: dead animal
Against a background of dark trees against a gray sky, the cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur next to a square with the following text:
The Witch of the Wood 
"Despite the twisted and crooked trees, the smell of rot in the air, and the lack of sound besides Milo’s boots moving through dried, cracked underbrush, the forest was rather peaceful. Not peaceful in the way a forest was meant to be, but like a graveyard often was. It was rather fitting.
"As he crept through the trees, shying instinctively away from them, the comparison became even more apt. At the base of a maple, a half-rotted corpse of a rabbit curled in on itself. Half of its skull was visible, the other half was covered with flesh and fur, matted down with thick, black fluid. Milo paused just for a moment to stare at the remnants of little beast, fingers twitching at his sides."
