~Summary~
“Why would he want to date me? I can’t even hold a pen.”
Luke has good friends, a passion for books, and dyspraxia, a disorder that, ironically, makes him unable to write. He also has a hatred for anyone who tries to help him. Yet when he fails his first term at university due to his learning difficulties, he’s forced to get support.
That’s how Nate, an excitable last-year student, becomes his self-proclaimed personal tutor and starts writing down essays for him, as a distraction from his own quarter-life crisis.
But Luke’s writing ambitions are not just academic. He dreams of penning a novel, although that’s never been a real possibility. Until now.
Will the two boys manage to write a successful love story together?

You only die once. Unless you’re Rami.
He’s done that a couple times too many, and the last one really didn’t stick.
Rami has been a vampire for a little more than a year, and things aren’t great. They aren’t really anything. Rami’s existence is solitary. Empty. Unfulfilled. And he can’t be sure why, or how to fix it, because no one has explained to him how to be a vampire. His brief stint at a facility or people–well, former people–like him resulted in Rami biting and nearly killing his caretaker, Sage. His time there, in his memory, is nothing but a stretch of terror, hunger, confusion, and violence.
Then on Halloween, the one night of the year Rami doesn’t have to worry so much about hiding who–well, what–he is, he stumbles into a little shop and there he is. Sage. Who doesn’t remember Rami at all, so everything should be fine. Except Sage is a witch who knows about secret, magical doors to secret, magical raves full of things that go bump in the night and the humans who want to be near them. Sage’s memory isn’t quite as wiped as everyone thought. His free will isnt quite his own. He also isn’t as delicate as he seems. And he’s not interested in staying away from Rami.

We posted an excerpt (NSFW warning!) of one of the stories included in the collection here: carnationbooks.com/queerholmes.
And we posted a tiny vignette of a preview of the cover art on the updates page!
Want another sneak peek? Hmmm…Okay!
…I know, I’m sorry, we’re a bunch of teases. We really can’t wait to share the finished cover with you all very soon!
We’re crowdfunding a small collection of Sherlock Holmes stories!
This collection will feature works by well know fic authors such as:
- Berlynn Wohl ( @berlynn-wohl)
- Elyssa Warkentin (aka @doctornerdington)
- Evadare Volney (aka @vulgarweed)
- MerindaB (aka @merindab)
- AND MORE (See the campaign page for a full list of authors!)
The stories range in heat level, genre, length, and tone. All take place in the Victorian era and explore a queer Holmes!
Cover art for this book will be by the wonderfully talented Max Kennedy ( aka @maxkennedy24). We will post art previews here and on the indiegogo campaign page, so check those spaces out in the coming weeks!
Thecampaign is set to run for 45 days. We are already, only 24 hours since we went live on indiegogo, almost halfway to our minimum goal! We’re SO EXCITED and we hope more folks will claim the awesome perks we have available.
They include:
- $5 ebook only
- $10 paperback only
- $18 ebook + paperback combo with a small cover art postcard
- $28 ebook + hardcover combo with a large cover art postcard plus your name on the acknowledgments page.

Not able to contribute right now? The book will be made available in ebook and potentially also in paperback format through Amazon in Spring 2020, and you will be able to snag a copy then. However, copies for sale through indiegogo are significantly discounted, so keep that in mind!
FAQs:
Is the thumbprint graphic the cover art? Nope! This is just a temporary image we are using for this project.
Are the authors getting paid? Absolutely. All the authors signed a contract which entitles them to payment through royalties up to a certain amount. Authors will receive royalties from books sold via the campaign as well.
Is the artist getting paid? Yes, of course! Everyone working on this book is getting PAID!
Why are you crowdfunding this project? This was a somewhat big project for us and one that is very near and dear to our hearts. We exist as a company because of two things: Sherlock Holmes fandom and fan fiction authors. We wanted to make this project, which combines these two things we care about SO much, a bit special with more options than our current model would allow (things like hardcovers and bonus art!). In order to do that, we realized we needed to think outside the box. That’s how we decided to go this route.
Will you crowdfund all your books now? Nah, we won’t be doing that. We might crowdfunding some larger projects in the future, but definitely no plans to do this for every title!
Again,here’s the link to the campaign, where you can ask questions in the comments!: https://igg.me/at/f9NeeUQt-Gk/x/22453214#/

Just two queer men tripping all over the legends. Check out Wolf’s Clothing by EJ Russell!
For Trent Pielmeyer, the answer is run like hell — away from his hostile family, away from the disbelieving cops, and far, far, far away from anything that smacks of the supernatural. After seven years’ captivity in a whacked-out alternate dimension, he is so over legend tripping.
When Christophe Clavret spots Trent in a Portland bar, he detects a kindred spirit — another man attempting to outrun the darkness of his own soul. But despite their sizzling chemistry, Trent’s hatred of the uncanny makes Christophe hesitant to confide the truth: he’s a werewolf, one of a dwindling line, the victim of a genetic curse extending back to feudal Europe.
But dark forces are at work, threatening more than their growing love. If Christophe can’t win Trent’s trust, and if Trent can’t overcome his fear of the paranormal, the cost could be Trent’s freedom and Christophe’s humanity. Or it might be both their lives.
GetWolf’s Clothing on Kindle Unlimited! Free for subscribers, or just $3.99 for non-subscribers.
