🩸COVER REVEAL! 🩸 Arthur and Sal are back for another romp in SUMMER COVEN! This time, the summer solstice festival plays host to a mysterious coven of witches, some bold fashion choices, and one horrible murder. Artist: Liam Eisenberg Designer: Colleen Reinhart www.rosieethor.com/summer-coven

In the foreground, two vampires ride a teal tandem bicycle. In front, a white man with graying hair, a light gray suit, and bright red tie holds a pink slushie and looks adoringly at his husband behind him, who has luscious curly black hair, a plum purple suit, puffy cravat, and is holding a blood red popsicle. In the front basket, a black cat perches with her paws up. Behind them, a festival is underway with bright pink tents and red flags in front of dark green trees. People mill about, some wearing pointy witch hats. Yellow text with a pink drop shadow spells out "SUMMER COVEN" over a dark blue sky with a yellow crescent moon at the top, and at the bottom in yellow text is "Authors of Dead & Breakfast" just above "Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor"

Fascists hate art because it allows people to experience the power of a fantasy: that things are not what they seem, that other people experience things the way you do, that a better world is possible. Imagination is a dangerous weapon when your main tactic is "because I said so"

Dead & Breakfast is my debut cozy mystery co-authored with @kathillisauthor.bsky.social forthcoming this fall! It's about two gay vampires who open a bed & breakfast in rural Oregon. When they find the mayor dead in their garden, they must solve the crime to prove their innocence. For pun lovers.

On a muted rainbow background, the 3D book cover for Dead & Breakfast (Two men stand in the foreground. On the left, a white man with graying hair wearing a suit and tie holds a cup of coffee.

Over the top is the title “DEAD & BREAKFAST” the tagline “come for the vampires stay for the scones” and the byline “Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor”) with the gay pride flag. Text bullet points read: cozy mystery, married gay couple, vampires solving crime, cat sidekick, puns for days. Below is the quote: "We're married, Sal. I think I'm past trying to woo you." "Like us, my dear, the romance never has to die." A gold star off to the side says "Out 10/14"
