Eeep! The fifth installment in my vampire romance series is finally out!🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳

This book drained me in both the best and worst ways, while helping me get through some pretty rough personal matters, which makes it all the more special. Saying goodbye to these characters is bittersweet, and I hope you'll enjoy Alex and Irina's story as much as I do.

Here's the full trope list: Enemies to lovers, Morally gray hero, Vampire prince X vampire huntress, Magical curse, Forced proximity, Knife-to-the-throat (actually, it’s knives everywhere with these two, lol), Fated mates, Touch-her-and-die, Romanian mythology, Dual POV... And lots of spice!

Ready to sink your teeth (pun intended) into the book?

P.S.: Yes, it's available in Kindle Unlimited.😊

A copy of The Way of the Wielder, by Sarah J. Hoodlet, against a backdrop of green grass and spring flowers. The cover features a young woman, standing profile, staring at a glowing orb in her hand. A misty cityscape is behind her, and the vignette (between the title and the author's name) features a fox running through a mountainous landscape. The flowers are a combination of phlox and lilac, in shades of purple and creamy white. The grass and leaves are vibrantly green.

A colleague of my husband's said to him yesterday, "[Your wife's first book] actually got me back to being a reader again."

That makes me all warm inside. Yes, I write for myself first—we all do—but when my stories have such an impact that they make people into readers again... man, that's the good stuff. 💗

A paperback copy of The Way of the Wielder, by Sarah J. Hoodlet. The cover features a young woman holding a glowing orb in one hand. She's staring at the sphere, her face in profile view. Behind her is a misty cityscape, and between the title (in the middle) and the author's name (on the bottom) is a vignette of a fox running through a mountainous landscape. The book is placed on a stone next to light purple phlox, a common early spring flower in the northeastern US.

This is available on Libby, as well as hoopla. One of my audiobook husbands reads this, so this is why I think you should drop everything and read this, but what really swept me off my literary feet was the pages upon pages of incredibly gorgeous lush pros that described flying with dragons that lust after the protagonist. Apart from that, the book has non-binary representation, dragons of color, and birth control potions! https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781039493810 @bookstodon

900 — Share a piece of lore from your WIP.

(New thread for my friends~!)

The older a vampire is, the less the sunlight will bother them. Eventually, they will be completely unaffected, where a young vampire would immediately burn.

I’ll include an excerpt that explains things better than I ever could. At the moment this takes place, Alistair and Fenella have just learned the information we’re discussing. It’s also a favorite scene of mine, featuring Duncan and Fenella. Alistair has just stormed out of the room.

“That went well, don’t you think?” asked Duncan, all too cheery. He wandered closer, inspecting Fenella, and a hand fell to grasp hers. “But look at your fingers, my dear.” Her gaze dropped to her hand, only to find her skin discolored. Her knuckles were a dark purple, fingers a disgusting shade of gray. She was distraught, prompting him to elaborate. “It’ll pass,” he explained. “The effect is immediate, I’m afraid. It’s what the sunlight does to us. We’re strong enough to withstand it, but not yet old enough to be completely unaffected by it. You’ll feel no pain. It doesn’t hurt, I promise.” For a moment, she was confused. Her eyebrows furrowed. He watched the change in her expression with wide-eyed rapture and glee. “Yes,” he drawled. “I can see the gears in your mind turning as we speak. You’re such a curious thing. And as we both just witnessed, Alistair was completely unaffected.”

12.1 — From where did the inspiration for your current WIP come?

(Guess who's back?)

I've written Alistair, Fenella, and Duncan with friends (and my girlfriend) over the years. I love collaborative writing. I probably came up with the idea of Alistair maybe twelve years ago. The story (as in my current WIP) wrote itself. It was a challenge I gave myself for October.

Also, randomly, I just *love* vampires, werewolves, etc. I'm a GM for Dungeons and Dragons (and other TTRPGs). I love fantasy work. It's fun for me. I love adding my own spin to things. This story was the same. I always strive to be completely original, and I want my stories to be *different* in a good way.

Hi !

I write sff and/or queer and/or polyamorous and/or romance novels. Most are at least 2 items on that list!

My latest is all four: "A Wolf-Shifter's Pack", a cozy rom-com about dealing with messy relatives and finding romance. https://books2read.com/wolfshifterspack

You can find all my books at: https://ladyrowyn.com/

Book cover for "A Wolf Shifter's Pack", showing the bust of a woman with tiger ears and markings crading a mug to her lips. Tagline reads "A goblin, a catgirl, and a wolf-shifter walk into a coffee shop ... now with 200% more lesbians!"

L Rowyn has a new book out!

A catgirl, a werewolf, and a goblin walk into a coffee shop...

A Wolf-Shifters Pack is a cozy stand-alone polyamorous romantasy in the same world as A Dragonling's Family. It features four lovely women falling in love in a coffee shop while dealing with family issues, personal history, and finding acceptance from themselves as well as others.

I was privileged enough to beta this and am excited to see its final evolution. If it sounds at all like something you might like, you should follow the link!

Rari reviews "Ship of Dreams" by Brey Willows:

"I really loved this tale of airships, and an alternate England. The world building is incredibly well done and the characters are both lovable and three dimensional. If you love sapphic steampunk fantasy, you'll love this book."
