March! Preorder is up 💙

A collage of a person being burned at stake, blood on cobblestone, hands, text that reads”all power demands sacrifice “ a grimore, people kissing, a blurry outline of a head with the cover of The Witch and his Crow in the center

There was nothing pleasant about it. The darkness had always been a silent entity, it shouldn’t have a voice. Except now, the shadows at my back spoke.

A graphic with the haunting of William thorn by Ben Alderson in the center with the following quotes around it Grief was like that. Ever present, always lurking, looking for moments to strike when the mind was at its weakest. "I. Am. Here.' It was lonely, not peaceful. There was only one person to blame, and that was himself. A hard pill to swallow unless he found enough alcohol to help force that fucking pill deep down. If loving you is worthy of hell, I go there gladly, knowing it accepts us together.

I talked to #queer #fantasywriter @benaldersonauthor.bsky.social about writing, dealing with homophbia, and why scifi is the hardest genre to write.
