Kindle pre-order promo graphic for THE HOWLING DARK, coming mid or late 2026. Centered in the graphic is the placeholder cover for the book, featuring the protagonist looking with a neutral expression into the camera, holding a spear. He's backlit and framed by leafless branches. He is a 22-year-old white man with long black and white hair, one brown eye and one blue, and a scar over his left eye. He's wearing a parka with a fur-lined hood over a tan sweater.
Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, heโs grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want?In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything.Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from. And when a peculiar turn in Sylvainโs health brings to light an ugly truth, someday becomes nowโwhether Sylvain is ready for it or not.Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planetโs surface, pursued by the government and bloodthirsty huntsmen, and under the unexpected guidance of the rebel Sundogs. All that lies between them and home is miles of unfamiliar countryside, toxic wastelands, a parasitic garden of death . . . and the question of how much theyโre willing to risk in order to get there.
Hey, guess what else: Preorders are officially open for THE HOWLING DARK, my scifi fantasy novel about fugitive werewolf brothers on a perilous journey home across a post-apocalyptic landscape! ๐บ๐

Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," featuring text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple. The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower. Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head. Across the top, artwork of the five main characters of Magica Riot in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "tall hot evil sorceress," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "sinister tech company," queer identity journey," "polyamory adventures," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." Text reading "The next adventure of Portland's queer magical girl rock band" is next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"
"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is my new big emotional queer Portland magical girl novel. With two villains in town, the girls must find a new approach to their magic and music, with help from unexpected friends!
