It was pure (spooky) joy to celebrate @transhorrors.bsky.social's new YA horror, THE TRANSITION, with the crew at @wildrumpusbooktore.bsky.social last week. If you're a fan of queer-led supernatural stuff with big doses of film nerdery, check it out.

Hi Bsky. I'm Joe, usually writing as J.M. Lee: an author, writer, speaker, and lorekeeper, with experience in prose (original & IP), screen, sequential, and games. I also do focused edit/SR for linguistics & LGBTQ topics. Currently on sub with my favorite thing I've ever written. ✨ Nice to see you!

Book cover for THE NIGHTLAND EXPRESS by J.M. Lee, illustrated by Jeff Langevin. Backed by peach and violet twilight sparkling with stars, two horse riders and a small bird in silhouette race toward a glowing blue light. Winged creatures and lights dance in the foreground.
