Oh, gosh, my next book is going to be here in ONLY THREE DAYS!! Kindle: www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJFD2TG9 Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... Itch: hs-kallinger.itch.io/vampire-wolf Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/aa192f1e58

To the left, in pink on a black and space background, next to a pink nebula: What happens when you expose someone carrying an infection-based form of vampirism to a werewolf disease? It's something Gabriel and Lex never even imagined having to answer.

Coming home for the summer didn't exactly provide the vacation Gabby was hoping for. In the middle of a stressful fight, he freaks out and attempts to replicate the gift he used to meet Lex three years ago, despite repeated failures. It works.

Landing in a new world, that conundrum is carved into Gabby's skin. Will they cancel each other out? Gabby hopes so. If not, then he's going to have a whole new problem on his hands—or claws—if he can even find his way home!

The worst part is, that isn't even the last big question in store for his family. Everything he knows is about to change. Of course, no matter what his first feelings may be, change isn't always bad. Sometimes, it's the very thing you didn't know you needed.

To the right, the cover for Vampire Wolf by H.S. Kallinger: A nighttime forest under a pale, full moon barely visible behind heavy clouds, is blanketed with snow, all in tones of blue, except for the trail of blood following wolf footprints away into the darkness. Distantly, various sets of eyes glow from the shadows. The title is rendered in blue light in the sky. Author name is blood red in the snow in the lower left corner. In white lettering at the top is "Book Three of the Found Humanity series."

Middle: book spine reads Vampire Wolf, H.S. Kallinger, 3.

With Ace Week🖤🩶🤍💜 coming up Oct 25-31st, I'm putting together an Itchio bundle called 'Asexuals on Adventures'. Main criteria: at least one main character is somewhere on the asexual spectrum (aro-ace is fine👋) and see eligibility graphic for 'Adventure'!⬇️ Sign up form: on my discord or I can DM!

Asexuals on Adventures, Coming Oct 19-31st on Itchio.

Ace flag and purple background.

Main text: 'Adventure' for the purpose of this bundle could be of a fantastical, scientific, or other speculative nature, or historical. Ideally it involves travel/ exploration, and may involve quests (from personal in scale, to save a people/ save the world.)

Eligibility & Genre:
At least one Main Character is somewhere on the asexual spectrum.
Plot-central ace (and LGBTQIA+) themes are welcome, but not required.

Adventure. There needs to be a big adventure, ideally one involving geographical travel. Eg. Exploring space/ a fantasy world, time travel, an alternate history, an underworld of demons, a society of vampires. Sexual exploration involving long distance travel and experiences of other places (eg a road trip) is welcome. Murder mysteries involving long distance travel (eg. multi city/ country investigations and some experience of those places) are welcome.

Given Adventure, I'm anticipating Fantasy, SciFi & other Speculative Fiction. Possibly Historical, mystery/ crime, romance, NSFW.

Preorders: Pre-orders are welcome, if your book releases within 5 weeks of the bundle's end date. Please state the release date in your Itch book description, so readers know when they can download your book.

Categories: YA and Adult Fiction, novellas and full length novels.
