Hi everyone! I'm here to help my friend @olivejkelley.bsky.social reveal the cover for their next book, Watkins & Hemlock: Ouroboros! It's currently free to read online (watkinsandhemlock.com) and the KS for it begins Oct 20th! Please send them your support! (Art by @morlevart.bsky.social)

Jim Watkins, a military doctor turned FBI agent, itches to return to the field after stagnant months recovering from a serial bomber attack that nearly killed him. His first case back throws him into the orbit of forensic consultant Sterling Hemlock, a strange, handsome genius. Despite being Watkins’s polar opposite, Hemlock immediately fills a gap in the investigation—and in the agent’s life.

Told through the lens of Watkins’s blog posts, OUROBOROS follows the duo of crime fighters across six gripping cases. From a political poisoning (or two), a gruesome murder on a queer cruise, to the resurgence of a violent old enemy, Watkins and Hemlock find that between the two of them, there’s no case they can’t solve.

Watkins & Hemlock is a serial novel that revisits and reimagines the classic story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson through a queer lens in the modern era. OUROBOROS is the first volume.

someone reached out to let me know, so just to clarify, the "blurb" being attributed to me on the cover of freydis moon's next release is actually an old blurb I gave them in oct 2023 for a previous book. I haven't been in contact with them whatsoever since everything last year.

Here comes Epsilon Nine, the second book in the Twin Suns duology by @olivejkelley.bsky.social! I can't wait to get my goblin hands on a copy of this book on 6.10.25 to join the first one on my bookshelf. Art by honeyed.pines on Insta.

The cover of Epsilon Nine features Juno, a trans woman with white skin, brown eyes, and dyed green hair that is brown at the roots. She is wearing a black bomber jacket, two chokers, and a grey t-shirt, and she has her left arm crossed over her chest, holding her shoulder. Over her right shoulder is a silhouette of a blonde woman with a long braid highlighted by a pink and orange sun. The background is black with purple galaxy in an oblong oval, decorated with three planets, one in the colors of the trans flag, one brown, and the other green, and two small moons. There is a sticker on the top right that says 'Twin Suns Duology, Book Two' and at the bottom of the cover it says Olive J. Kelley in neon purple text.

HAPPY BOOK DAY to THICKER THAN BLOOD by Sera Quim ( @olivejkelley.bsky.social ) It's such a good day for darker M/M/M as a self-made trans man learns just how dangerous his mob father truly is www.amazon.com/Thicker-Than...

A red-tinged club interior

Sharp and intoxicating, Thicker Than Blood deftly explores the destructive and restorative duality of sex and desire. I could not put down this story in which the mob's secret weapon finds sanctuary where he thought there would be damnation.

surprise! ☀️ I’m self-publishing my novella, SUNSET YEAR, August 2025! 🌅 SUNSET YEAR is a letter to myself, reminding me what it means to survive. It is also a letter of gratitude to the people who kept me here, just by being near. ☀️☀️☀️

A text post on a sunset background. Self publishing. C.J. Ellison’s SUNSET YEAR, a novella following a trans college hockey player, experiencing suicidal thoughts after a season-ending injury, and a music student, grappling with the sudden death of her sister, as they form a friendship, a bond only renewed each night at sunset.
