I have finally, finally published the first book of my In The Darkness trilogy! How We Sell Our Souls is available on Amazon via Kindle and Paperback. It’s a supernatural/romance novel which features demons, possessions, and a little bit of witchcraft; it’s also the first book I’ve ever released with a publisher!
This is beyond exciting for me, so if anyone would like to check it out, I’d be thrilled! If not, at least signal-boost this post? I’d really love to get the word out!

A fake marriage between two best friends because they need money? SIGN ME UP.
I only read the first four chapters, so I don’t really know how the story will unfold, but I’m definitely buying the book. I can’t believe a book was written specially for me.
that’s all i’ve got right now! i’m a lesbian so the lesbian section has the most books in it lol, but if anyone else wants to add some more books for gbt people (especially trans because Yikes that section is small), that would be awesome!
hello i volunteer as tribute
GAY
swordspoint by ellen kushner (fantasy; assassins! mostly just one assassin)
one for sorrow by christopher barzak (haven’t read; paranormal; bad ending)
that is all i have off the top of my goodreads list that u haven’t already listed
i only have one rec but it’s fucking massive and super worth it: the god eaters (read for free here, you can also buy it in paperback form in various spots online if you’re committed) is possibly the best standalone fantasy book i’ve read in ages and it’s super super gay (also super super triggery so hmu if you need warnings).
oh and as someone who has read the kastor chronicles i can definitely vouch for quality. that shit is choice. (both of these are by the same author btw lol)
ETA: NO. 6. NO. FUCKING 6. also fucking massive, also super triggery, also feel free to hit me up for details, but you can read the english translation FOR FREE here.
Some o’my all-time faves that are missing here:
– Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey (SF near-future dystopia with mutants, female protagonists)
– the Middle Kingdoms books by Diane Duane (epic fantasy but the books aren’t epic length, everyone is poly-ish [that’s not the queer bit that’s just a content note], starts off with two guys who are like totes in love & adds a few more until it culminates in a giant poly wedding, just roll with it, roll with it) (STILL NOT FINISHED but the lack of a fourth book isn’t too dire) (there is a genderqueer character in these but they are an alien, basically; I am not genderqueer so I don’t know if genderqueer people would enjoy this portrayal or not)
– the Elemental Logic books by Laurie Marks (fantasy, lesbians!!!)
– Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold (SF, a little dated now probably but I still find it charming, dude protagonists)
