#QueerWritersChat All right, I've got three queer MG books out in the world: SKATING ON MARS, LINUS AND ETTA COULD USE A WIN, and GOING OVERBOARD. You can find them all here: us.macmillan.com/author/carol... Maybe request them at the library? Or buy them? Or recommend them to someone?

#QueerWriterChat I think of morally grey as not considering any sort of greater good/traditional moral compass when choosing actions or that they pursue their goals with absolute ruthlessness. But... honestly... interested in seeing what others say.

#QueerWritersChat Truly... probably not. In my middle grade, I write to give humanity and dignity to all characters (even kind of shitty ones). Now... my paranormal romance? Well, I have people working within systems that have them doing bad things...

Hey, #QueerWritersChat! I haven't been around much because... well, life. I'm Caroline (they/them). I have written some middle grade novels, but I'm currently working on a sapphic paranormal romance about a vampire/vampire hunter relationship.

GOING OVERBOARD by @carolinehuntoon.bsky.social is one of my fave recent MG books! I fell in love with the characters so much that I didn’t want it to end! This enemies to friends, reverse-parent trap story is filled with hilarious & touching moments that will resonate deeply with readers! #kidlit

AI is an concensis machine for a skewed consensus. I don't care what the "median" person on the internet thinks someone should look like, what they might write, or even how they will likely word their emails. I make art to LEAVE consensus and push the conversation beyond the status quo.

E.M. Anderson | author & schism enthusiast too hot for Bluesky @elizmanderson.com · 14/10/2025

and here's a static cover reveal post for people who want to skip the book trailer and/or hate videos! cover art by Lucy Rose THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July 2026, from @hanoversquarepress.bsky.social! #author preorder now: gatheringvolumes.com/item/44euZQq...

the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, framed in gold with gold flowers against a dark teal background around the edges. The cover is teal with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."

"When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." Text is in a textbox against a murky image of a forest, with the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood below the text, all against a dark teal background with gold curlicues in the corners.

The cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood on a dark teal background with golden leaves overhead, surrounded by yellow text reading: plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality; Beauty & the Beast inspired by not a retelling; dual-POV brother/sister; love interest turning slowly into a beast; wound-tending.
