Hey #unhingedpit, learn ancient Sumerian with me... A SAVAGE, INFINITE NIGHT is my #NA / #A 91k Mesopotamian-inspired #R omantasy Sacred bulls. A monster-raised warrior. A princess who was never meant to rule. Enemies to lovers with absolutely no chill. #Rep: @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social

WHITE LOTUS x SINNERS, but set it in a luxury Romanian ski + spa resort during a snow storm with strigoi/wendigo -esque beasties. Some indulgences, indulge back. And others are sometimes too appetizing to ignore. Rep: @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social #PosterPit #Ag #W #H

THE BLOOD BETWEEN THE LINES is my 92k horror romance that's my love letter to Romania meets my love affair with bitey creatures 🥰 And the enemies-to-lovers? It's legit. The tension? It be tensing. Here's a snippet from our MC Eden and the reluctant prince, Merc. #writingcommunity #booksky

Title: Pitch
Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck.

Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him.

But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.
