      <image:title>Sapphic Paranormal Romances by R. S. Parker</image:title>
      <image:caption>Laura Trescothick is a vampire who writes cozy mysteries as Sonya Parkes. She just went indie after decades with a single publisher, but the creative control that comes with independence leaves her with little time to meet new people. With the release of her newest novel, Queen of Bleeding Hearts, she’s set up for a book signing at a local, independent bookstore run by her ex-girlfriend. Ali Hopkins comes from a long line of witch and monster hunters, a legacy she wants no part of. Cursed by a witch to transform into a beast that will stalk and kill her family on the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday. With two weeks before the fated event, she learns of an elixir that might break the curse and make her family proud of her. But there’s a catch! The one man who claims to know the formula demands Ali kill a vampire for him. When Laura and Ali accidentally bump into each other at the Sonya Parkes book signing, books and sparks fly. But when each learns the other’s identity, will Laura see Ali as anything beyond a threat? Will her feelings even matter to Ali once she learns of Laura’s true nature? eBook and Paperback editions are available on Amazon.com.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sapphic Paranormal Romances by R. S. Parker - Victoria Alexander is a perky graduate student writing her dissertation at St. Albertus Magnus University. When her great grandfather dies, he leaves her his home and everyone in her family a monthly stipend of $100,000. Of course, this gift has two conditions. Sara has to live in his home in the small town of Pazat, Pennsylvania for three years and in that time, marry an acceptable man. Otherwise, the family loses everything. Anya Skejik is the toymaker in Pazat. Unless you count her marionette Iskra, she's lived alone for most of her life, and she's always liked it that way. A dark cloud and rumors of a curse have hung over her like the veil that has hidden her scarred face since her parents died when she was a child. But there are lies in truth and truth in lies, and a shining dawn doesn't always follow the dark night. To purchase the paperback from this website, click here.

      <image:caption>Full moons bring out the dangers, and for private investigator Sam Hain, that means a supernatural creature has run afoul of the Veil Watchers, a government organization dedicated to preventing humans from knowing they share a world with supernatural creatures by any means necessary. As her birthday nears, an evasive redcap asks seeks her aid for a banshee whom a young woman filmed singing her warning of doom and then uploaded the video to social media. As the video went viral, teams of amateur ghost hunters descended upon the sleepy Irish village of Bannagh. Now the banshee, the young woman who discovered her, and numerous ghost hunters are in danger from the Veil Watchers and from ancient evils and shadowy forces alluded to in the banshee's song. With only four days before Veil Watcher Michael Cormack arrives to preserve the secret through a shoot-first policy, Sam has little time for error if she is to protect everyone from overzealous Watcher Michael Cormack, known for his scorched earth approach to keeping the secret safe. And as ancient evils rise and threaten the living, Sam's resolve to protect the lives of all involved will be tested as she unravels the mystery of Liam's doom.

And Nick Scratch's payment, return Faust to Hell or take his place, comes due in just under two months.

If all things are connected, how does this child fit into the larger picture? Will Sam grow strong enough to stop Faust from completing his mission, or will she replace him in Hell? As the daughter of the Arch Magus of the Astrum Argentum, such is the fate of the magician's child. To purchase this book directly from this site, click here.

      <image:caption>Romance isn't dead, but for bestselling romance author Celeste Valois, it may as well be. Seeking a career pivot, she retreats to the Louisiana swamps in search of inspiration for a gothic novel, she expects ghost stories and forgotten sins-but not a town suffocating under the weight of a past it refuses to bury. Belle Riviére is a place where superstition holds power, whispers in the dark carry warnings, and breaking the rules of Lent is more than a sin-it's a death sentence. As Celeste digs deeper into the ruins of a burned church and the decades-old horror surrounding it, she attracts the attention of something ancient, something hungry. With the reluctant help of the rugged and enigmatic Julien Mercier, she must unravel the town's darkest secret before she becomes the next sacrifice to the beast that walks among them.

      <image:caption>In the oldest, storm-soaked streets of New Orleans, sins, shadows, and songs linger where history refuses to die. Danielle Sanders, a struggling scholar, arrives in the Quarter seeking inspiration for her dissertation; but soon she finds herself drawn into a web of secrets older than the city itself. Her hostess, the enigmatic Catherine-Marie Trichet, claims descent from one of the mysterious casket girls, and her home whispers with creaking boards, forbidden doors, and watchful eyes. As a murderer stalks the streets, Danielle's pursuit of knowledge entangles her with a romance both intoxicating and perilous, awakening desires she cannot name and a darkness she cannot escape. In this lush Louisiana gothic tale of love, betrayal, and the terrible bargains demanded to lay to rest the sins of the past, every passion carries a price, and every rose its razor thorn.

      <image:caption>The enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend... While returning to Florescia for her coronation as Sezara Vandiamante of the Midnight Court, itinerant monster hunter Gwynarra Caoilfhionn receives a request from the director of the Society for Afterlife and Arcane Research. A series of deadly hauntings by infernal entities and violent ghosts have plagued the citizens of the Atharian Empire, and the Society requests Gwynarra lend her skills in the defense of the innocent. But Gwynarra Caoilfhionn was not the only hunter the Society hired. The director also requested the aid of Caspar Richter, Grand Master of the Holy Order of St. Arnulf Ironhand, an order of witch, heretic, vampire, and traitor hunters for the Blessed Emperor of the Atharian Empire. Grand Master Richter sent his daughter Karina as a representative of the empire's noble defenders who, twenty-one years earlier, executed Gwynarra's parents for allegedly harboring Marius Bedwyr, leader of the vampire insurgents the Crimson Fangs. When Gwyn and Karina investigate the violent haunting at St. Hiltegardt the Open-Armed Orphanage, they uncover a mechanomagical device designed to transform suffering and fear into powerful arcane energies. As more of these devices emerge, they begin to suspect they have found themselves in the middle of a war fought in the shadows that may soon explode into the light.

      <image:caption>Marius Bedwyr and his Crimson Fangs have enslaved treasure hunter Courage Faern'doln, forcing him to build human-machine abominations designed to crush enemies of the Atharian Empire. Hidden in a secret facility known to only the Blessed Emperor and his High Holy Council, Courage toils in fire, shadow, and darkness. Gwynarra Vandiamante, outed as the last of a family of vampires hated by the Richter family, has fled to the Zyntarian Isles where the Sythrokli Oracle's riddle provides cryptic clues as to Courage's location, but it cannot see where Karina walks. Karina Richter, cast out from her father's house due to Marius' deception and hints of her complicated feelings for Gwynarra, hunts alone in Czarnenburg's disease-ridden slums. The tripartite death goddesses to whom Courage owes a service, the Corvidiae, have other plans for the lone huntress. While Gwyn makes her final stop before returning to Florescia for her coronation, Courage's older sister, Honor, receives her own cryptic message from the Corvidiae, who demand reuniting the White Queen with the Black Knight against the Crimson King. Along with the technomagus turned baker Xrissa Kosol, she sets out to find her brother and these enigmatic players. But all is not well in the Empire. As Marius becomes closer to the Blessed Emperor, his Crimson Fangs doubt his devotion to freeing their homeland of Froam from Atharian rule. Does Marius truly desire to sit on his fathers throne, or do his ambitions and vengeance lie elsewhere? And what do his ambitions hold in store for Gwynarra, Karina, Courage, and the citizens of the empire who grow wary the empire's new direction?

      <image:title>The Gothic Gaslamp Fantasies of Rebecca St. Claire - Danika Sarkovski was born an outcast and an heiress, a Gloamblood monster hunter who walked away from her aristocratic bloodline. When her estranged father, Professor Cassian Struchmeyer, vanishes chasing a legendary musical tome, the Lamentata Nihilith, Danika is tasked with finding both the man who abandoned her family and the artifact whose song may unmake kingdoms. She journeys with Elira Dimitriou, a sharp-tongued librarian and devoted student of Professor Struchmeyer whose magic eats her memories one spell at a time. In drowned ports and unhallowed markets, amid brain-sucking cephalopodian pirates and revenants guarding ancient tombs and temples, Danika must decide what she is willing to feed—her hunger, her grief, or the fragile trust growing between Elira and herself. Because somewhere beyond the floating cities, snow-covered wastes, and crystal deserts, a man with a harp made of humanoid bones tunes the Devourer’s Sonata—and if he finishes the song, all creation will be fed to the Eternal Maw.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Gothic Gaslamp Fantasies of Rebecca St. Claire - When seasons turn, so too do the fates of men. Saints burn upon their altars. The drowned rise by the command of baleful curses. And magi, in their arrogance, seek to enslave gods. In a world broken by war and fouled by the gluttony of kings, hope flickers like a dying ember, trembling in the wind. Still walks Anya Petrova, the Veiled Rose, her armor burnished with suffering and her mace a bouquet of sharpened roses. Through catacombs bleeding unholy aura, through hidden shoals and halls of decadence and deceit, by her holy vows, she hunts those fiends crawling from forgotten graves, breakers of oaths, and those that howl in the void. At her side drifts Seraphine Duskwhisper, a void-touched sorceress whose power can mend the fragile tatters of reality… or tear it asunder. From courts where lords barter lives for coin, to ships of bone and flesh adrift on seas of lament, all tales converge in shadow and sorrow.   Bookshop.org Here, love is a weapon, miracles fester into monsters, and every prayer bleeds a price.   And when the veils sunder and the heavens lay undone... to whom shall the desperate pray? 21 April 2026 Pre-Order at Bookshop.org</image:title>
