Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background. Tropes listed around the cover are: sapphic space fantasy, get in loser weβre going to fight god, trans sword lesbian, chronically ill chosen one, literal sun/moon sword/sheild lesbians, super slooow burn

Yβall. This book (A Ballad for Slayers and Monsters by @ritacoolbeans.bsky.social) This book will not leave my brain. I canβt wait for it to release on April 15 so I can screech about it with others.
An arrow chart graphic for βsilver bloodβ by TL Morgan. Surrounding an image of the book cover, text reads: What to expect from Silver Blood: forbidden romance; gothic decadence; reluctant allies to lovers with a side of βwho did this to youβ; a blend of mystery & intrigue; standalone with a little extra on the side; angsty but HFN ending; many, many nods to classic vampire lore; trevor belmont x alucard vibes (but like if trevor was bad at being a vampire hunter); slow burn; achillean vampire x human.
Did you know that I released a book this week?!
(You probably did know this. I have not shut up about it. BUT JUST IN CASE)
My m/m vampire romance is available now! Join a reluctant vampire hunter & his unexpected vampire ally on a mission to solve strange murders.

A brown woman looks up at a Taravath woman with mauve skin. A brown text box with white text that reads: βYouβre so funny!β Thanks, I had to endure years of deciphering ancient texts written by scholars who thought punctuation was a sin, and now Iβm falling in love with a woman who thinks grunting is an acceptable form of communication.
A Taravath woman with mauve skin, horns, and thick black hair in a bum at the back of her head, looking down at a brown woman. A brown text box that reads: βYouβre so funny!β Thanks, I had to survive a war, accidentally gain powers I have no idea how to use, and now Iβm falling in love with someone who argues with footnotes.
You're so funny...
