Self-published author of Lovecraftian and gothic horror featuring trans man protagonists. But I write whatever I feel like. https://ko-fi.com/A0307Q3

#HorrorWritersChat Enough that it makes sense for the character. Some of them have long stretching histories. Others are ghosts, even to me. Owen Rosedown from my Runner Owen series comes to mind. He's had an eventful 30+ years of life but his story goes back farther than even he knows about...

#SumLuv I can't remember the title. Paranormal romance, fated mates, with an underwater king as the hero. Had some weird but well meaning moments but it was the emotions and sexual tension that hit me like a truck. It was so much for me I couldn't finish it. 😂 Of course I got it from the library!
