This is something I think about often actually. I think if I was suddenly cursed to never write again before finishing Dogwood, i'd go a bit nuts. But as long as I can finish Dogwood and have closure on that decade-plus-long-project, I'd get over it. I would spend more time outdoors year-round.

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
Background Image: A patch of daisies in the middle of a dense forest.

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.

#Lithodgepodge Wesley is the narrator and is really sporty/active with low self esteem so he'd love having a coach like Ted Lasso. It would be good for Rowan too. Kenzie and Owen can sit like goths on the bleachers and die mad something is not about them for once.

They laugh when they're together.☺️ Even Kenzie! Most of the laughing is in #Dogwood3, interestingly, because that's the book where the relationship goes nuclear. But for the first half, Owen thinks everything at home is fine and everyone is safe, so we see him at his happiest. #AwesomeCharacters

Owen set Frankenstein aside and tried to rub some feeling back into his ankle. His foot tingled unpleasantly in his shoe. Though he never heard Wesley turn, he could feel those keen eyes on him, could remember the impatience shadowed by something almost like desire. What is the nature of your injury? Freak.
    “It’s old,” Owen said now, on that narrow strip of grass between the student center and the cornfield. “It happened a long time ago.”
   “You were a child,” Wesley said, having evidently run the math of an old wound on a young man. “And the wolf who stole you…”
 “She didn’t steal me. She saved me.” Nervous hands wrapped a bootlace around his ankle and pulled it tight.
      “Saved you for what?”
      Owen started. “What do you mean?”
    “For what purpose is your guardian saving you?”

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

When Owen was very small, before he was “Owen” at all, he lived in the old church in the woods with the other orphans, playing in the weeds amongst the crumbling headstones, eating cold tinned stew and peaches in syrup. They were wild things with dirty faces, but never truly without guardians, for the wolves watched them always from the woods encroaching like a rising sea.

Avery Miller is dealing with a dilemma as a young gay man trapped in a religious cult: embracing how beautiful his love for Tristan is & how wonderful magic can be. The Witch of Eden Hollow, a queer romance out Oct. 9th! 🌈📚️ Uni Link: books2read.com/u/mZR9kD Itch: gt-anthony.itch.io/witch-x-hunter
Background image: A bright background in a wheat field surrounded by daisies and other various flowers (royalty free photo by Ilona Frey)

Book cover for "The Witch of Eden Hollow" by G.T. Anthony on the left:
A forest green cover with golden font. In the center is a ring made of woven branches with wilted vines wrapped around it. In the middle is a brown hair. Behind the hare is a patch of daisies.

Excerpt on the right:
Avery further relaxed after another kiss, his arms falling lax at his sides. He let Tristan guide him to press back against the tree. Avery’s heart raced the further his partner deepened their kiss, and he found himself longing for him to come closer. He wanted to be held tight, to be crushed against his torso, to be touched in ways that would have him being as close to the heavens as he would dare try without the aid of God.
