My spicy horromance book No Dream Like Forever is available on Kindle, Kobo, Itch & finally, PAPERBACK! 🎉📖 Romantic redemption arcs, horror w/humor, & MCs willing to give up everything for love. 💞 You can read a sample here: norashear.com/books/no-dre...

An image of the cover of No Dream Like Forever, by Nora Shear, surrounded by story tropes in an orange gothic font. Clockwise from top left, the tropes are: "Our Vampires are Shifters and Demons and...", "Immortality ain’t easy, my fren", "Star-crossed lovers, sorta", "this book makes me hungry", "CPTSD rep", "36-yr old FMC", "Villians who hate humanity", "The BEST queer bestie and they’d tell you that themselves", "A new meaning to hostile takeover", and "Bi MMC". In the middle of them all, the cover shows a dark dragon's head with blue eyes over two black swan's wings that are burning. Along the edges of the cover are dark silver snakes, and seven dark silver feathers float in the foreground. The title is in metallic gray elegant lettering with flourishes.

Reactor Magazine Must Read Speculative Fiction Short Stories July 2026
"Clearance Items at the Underground Dark Magic Night Market" by Tammy Komoff
(Lady Churchill's Rosbud Wristlet -- June 2026; issue 52) I love a good "fuck you" story. The protagonist of this story is desperate. Desperate enough to come to the underground night market seeking a "miracle," but all they find is merchants overcharging clients and treating living creatures like objects to be sold. Piece by piece, in the case of a poor, helpless cat. If you had a chance to punish a bunch of bad actos, would you take it?

I just clicked publish on a new #spicy #scifi story: Reyna’s Royal Rescue. www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKY4CRPY A queen is taken prisoner by the T'karans. All rescue attempts fail until her loyal chef comes to her rescue! Blurb in the alt text below. It's free to read if you have KU, or $0.99. 💙📚🚀🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Cover image for my new story: Reyna's Royal Rescue.

----

Two months in an alien dungeon can change a woman. When Queen Reyna is captured by the ruthless T'karan empire, she survives alone on a bare metal platform with only her wits and a secret intimate device. But when her guards throw a battered and beaten man into her cell, she expects a fellow victim, not the palace sous chef. Caspian is no ordinary cook. He's a former spy with a few tricks up his sleeve (if he actually had any sleeves, since the T'karans have taken his clothes). He's on an unauthorized mission with a wild extraction plan. He shares details of the plan during a passionate performance under the watchful eyes of their captors.

Stripped of her royal vestments, the heat between the Queen and her rescuer ignites into an unbridled explosion. But their escape plan seems to shatter when they are dragged for interrogation into the private office of the K'taran ship's commander. Captain Khlepha is a fierce diminutive officer who rules her ship with a discipline stick and a calculating mind. Surrounded by a ship full of enemies, Reyna and Caspian must navigate a desperate, high-stakes gambit of manipulation with the beautiful alien commander. Winning their freedom will require a scandalous price neither Terran ever saw coming.

Miriam Kell from The Plight of the Last Paladin in a Heartbroken World managed to earn the respect and companionship of a unicorn. So I think she wins.

Dinah stepped forward. The unicorn touched its horn to Dinah’s head. Nothing. The unicorn shook its head, and Dinah stepped back.
“Are you girls virgins?” Balthasar asked.
Sarah and Ruth looked at each other.
“It depends on how you define that,” Sarah said. “Neither of us has been with a boy. But, you know, we’ve been with each other.”
Balthasar nodded. “That probably means no to a unicorn. Dinah?”
Dinah turned a shade of red so deep it was nearly purple. “Officially? I’m a virgin.”
“Officially?” Eve asked.
“The royal physician said it didn’t count.”

Balthasar stepped forward and placed a hand on Miriam’s shoulder. “Miriam. Kid. I’m unworthy. I fell. And I’m still fighting, aren’t I? Isn’t that what you like to say, that we have to keep fighting? This is how you fight right now.”
Miriam swallowed the lump in her throat and felt it settle like a clenched fist in her belly. Balthasar was right. She had to try.
She stepped up to the unicorn. And she waited. The unicorn touched its horn to Miriam’s head and the chamber exploded into light. Miriam felt as though she were at the center of an exploding star. She couldn’t see, the light was so intense.
“That’s a good sign, isn’t it? I mean it has to be, right?” Sarah asked.
“But I’m not worthy,” Miriam whispered.
Balthasar chuckled behind her, “The heavenly beast says otherwise.”

Damian rushed at her and they grappled. Damian was strong for his size and Miriam found he was overpowering her.
“What are you?” Damian asked.
“I’m Miriam.” She answered.
“You’re not a witch. You’re not anything of the Shadow. I would feel it. And I don’t sense the presence of an angel, you are aren’t a paladin or a priest or a holy warrior. But you have power. What are you?”
“I’m Miriam. I kept pigs for the kill yards in Beechroot until the Diabolist Priests tried to sacrifice me to the Shadow.”
“So you’re nothing?” He laughed.
“No,” She said. “I’m the girl who’s going to kick your ass.”

Miriam opened her eyes and stood up. She looked around. “Oh good. That did work.”
The unicorn trekked out from the other chamber and stopped beside Miriam. Miriam glanced at the unicorn and nodded.
“This is Indrik. He says I passed.”
“Well yeah,” Eve said with a grin.
“Worthy, like I said.” Balthasar grinned.
“So is she, like, a priest or something now?” Dinah asked.
Balthasar shook his head. “This is different. The term is Temple Maiden.”
“Well, either way, good job.” Sarah said.
“Badass,” Ruth said, patting Miriam on the shoulder.
