What would you choose? 🗡️🐉🐦‍🔥 A shapeshifter, tasked to protect the Fountain of Love as part of an impossible quest, trades in her beastly ways to bring *Main Character Energy* when one of the challenger knights accidentally falls in love with her instead. Rep: Emily Forney

SIDE QUEST - An Adult Romcomantasy by T. L. Coughlin

After an arduous journey, you come upon the fabled Fountain of Love where a statue of a beautiful woman stands at the lip of its pool. Do you:

A - Dip your vial in to claim its waters. After all, that’s what you came here for.

B - Prepare for the final challenge that is sure to come, sword readied.

C - Run.

D - Fall in because…*Clumsy Core*

Pride Month starts soon and for the first time I have a very queer book out during it. I wish I could go back in time, to Danai on their first Pride Parade as an “ally”, wondering why they felt more at home than anywhere. “I know why,” I would whisper, then give them a copy of Vile Lady Villains.

A black and white image of a girl with long hair looking down at a sliced off marble head of a man with a bloodred “tear”. Behind them is a collage. A girl sunken in water with a white dress flowing. A pearl with fire swirling around it. A boy, up in a tree, laying on a branch. A hilt of a jeweled sword, a stone bridge across a small river in a forest. A curled, pink, rosebud. A stone carving of a qilin. An open book laying upon leaves. A vial of liquid in an enchanted forest.

An Owlbound Spark 🦉🔥❄️ The world is ravaged by eternal winter and the magic that can end it is dead, until a crew of queer teens embark on a fantastical journey of self-discovery to thaw the seasons with the help of a mysterious owl. #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

A boy with a woolly hat shrouded in the shadow of two lit full moons and an aurora borealis, with purple and blue flames hovering over his outstretched hands.

It's snowing, and a magical blue owl is displayed, wings spread wide with those same flames inside its eyes.

An Owlbound Spark | Blurb

Tyrus is a hot-headed boy who lost both his parents to the cold, and Lyra is a thieving girl with a knack for finding trouble. Their destinies collide when Tyrus bonds with Flake—a supposed-to-be extinct owl capable of lost fire magic—and helps Lyra as her settlement suffers a terrifying attack.

Through new friendships and encounters with fantastical creatures, Tyrus and Lyra find out how to stop the eternal winter from claiming any more lives. Will they be able to collect the five splinters to the key that can save the world? Or will the world as they know it soon end as the last humans and elves perish to snow and ice?

Tyrus, armed with Owlfire, and Lyra, wielding wit and daggers, are forced to face their fears and insecurities, navigate love and their sexualities, and figure out who they are, in a frozen world that is out to claim their final breaths.

Two Comp titles are displayed over a blurry blue background.

The Dragon Prince (Netflix) X Celestial Monsters (by Aiden Thomas)

The "witty banter character dynamic" and "found family" of The Dragon Prince, meets the "fantastical creatures" and "queer cast" of Celestial Monsters, making for a "magical adventure".

A girl with dark hair dressed in a red robe that is reminiscent of a ringleader’s outfit. She has her arms outstretched between two men with a red glowing thread flowing around them. To her right is a tall prince dressed in white and gold with long brown hair. To her left is a man in a cloak with burn scars along the side of his face, dark cropped hair, and golden eyes. Behind them is a circus tent in front of a mountain range.

While writing the dedication for VILE LADY VILLAINS I wondered: should I make it inspiring… or petty? But if I only got this one book, this one chance, I wanted to do both. Something hopefully inspiring. Something arguably petty. Because this book, and me, aspire to be both.
