Here it is, the gorgeous US cover for THE POISON PALACE, a re-telling of the story of Alexander's invasion of the Indian subcontinent through the point of view of a vishkanya (the poison maiden of Indian myth). This is my debut, the book I gave everything of myself to, and now I send it out to you.

A book cover with a green background, and the image of a femme person with her back to the viewer. She is wearing a red upper garment and gold tone jewellery in her hair, ears, neck, and arms, and a five-headed snake is wrapped around her neck. On both sides of her are two crumbling ornate pillars, wrapped all over with oleander and datura flowers. The text says THE POISON PALACE: A NOVEL by Shreya Ila Anasuya

My friend @esselle.bsky.social made a book trailer for #DeadMansBlood 😳 She was a creative co-conspirator for this toxic little book and a perfect cheerleader. Dead Man's Blood is an adult horror romance; it's spicy, it's angry, and it's really gay.

I wrote a toxic queer thing! Dead Man's Blood is an adult horror romance for fans of Interview with the Vampire (TV), Don't Sleep with the Dead by Nghi Vo, and the upcoming Spread Me by Sarah Gailey. It's spicy, it's angry, and it's really gay. On sub now!

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Did not expect this random obliteration of my heart and also to say thank you afterward. Gorgeous.

COVER REVEAL TIME! Check out The Duke at Hazard, art by Chloe Friedlein. Coming 18th July from Orion in print, e, and audio (reader is tbc). Up for preorder in all the usual places! www.amazon.com/Duke-Hazard-... www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/... books.apple.com/us/book/the-...

Cover for The Duke at Hazard by KJ Charles, strapline "In this game of love, everything's at stake."

Illustrated image. A room with a curtained doorway leading through to another room. In the background, silhouetted, is what looks like a riotous party or possibly a fight. In the foreground, two men sit opposite one another at a table. They are both holding cards, but ignoring them in favour of clinking glasses of wine, with lots of eye contact, and also playing footsie very subtly under the table. One is well dressed and slim, the other a bit less smart and slightly bigger. Mood is of two people having a quiet, loving moment in the midst of total chaos.

I wrote a polemic today while doing a survey. It's definitely a polemic. but I was asked the question of what I wanted the researchers to understand about being a professional writer. And actually, I want everyone to understand this. I posted it on ko-fi. I'm asking for tips; I'm broke.
