Hi all, introduction time! I'm a witchy queer author with chronic pain who writes contemporary romance. I'm currently in the middle of the Pagans & Pop Stars series about a former boy band and their friends (and exs) all finding love.

Gimme your witchy book recommendations, please! Looking more specifically for any PA Dutch, German, or Irish resources as that is my personal background/heritage.

What has helped you? What books have been essential to your learning and practice?

I don't have any specific books for those practices (lots of more general ones) but you might check out the Witchlit podcast because the host talks to a lot of folks across different types of practices and I'm sure they've covered at least one if not all of those traditions. :]

liked T. Kingfisher's horror, Fangs by Sarah Anderson, The Widow's Vampire by T.D. Gonzalez, and The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner and I don't remember any sexual assault/rape plot lines.

Hope this helps! :]

Looking for horror/spooky/halloweenish book recommendations that DO NOT use sexual assault/rape as a plot device.

Any suggestions??

November is Trans Awareness Month. But that title seems ill-fit to current politics, so I chose a better one for the Itch book bundle I'm hosting Nov 1-14.

Authors, if your MC is trans (yes including nonbinary!) and your book meets the criteria bellow, let me know and I'll DM you the sign up form!
Trans People Take on The World Itch Bundle Background: trans flag Text: Eligibility & Genre: At least one Main Character is trans (yes this includes nonbinary!) Plot-central trans (and LGBTQIA+) themes are welcome, but not required. Your MC combatting transphobia is welcome, but not required. MC's who are incidentally trans solving murders, defending their kingdom, curing cancer, fighting a zombie apocalypse etc are very welcome. (So SFF, Thriller/ Mystery/ Crime/ Historical/ Drama etc.) Romance and NSWF involving a trans MC is welcome. Categories: Adult Fiction, novellas and full length novels.
