🌙✨ We’re over the moon to share that #KatieOrtiz’s #THESOUTHERNSORORITYOFSUPERSTITIOUSWITCHES has been acquired at auction by #AlcovePress for publication in Fall 2026!

Think sisterhood, spells, and systemic change. 🔮🖤

A- #BookReview: The Shakespeare Secret by D.J. Nix My Review: It begins as a question of identity - or rather an obfuscation of identity. The question of whether Shakespeare was really Shakespeare. A question that has been hotly debated for centuries. There’s not a question that a man named William Shakespeare existed, that he was a player (actor) upon the Elizabethan stage, and that the events that are attributed to his life did happen to a man named William Shakespeare - however he might have signed or spelled that name.

K. Valentin: An Amateur Witch’s Guide to Murder Transparency note: I was allowed to read this as an e-arc by Alcove Press via Netgalley. What do you do when you and your best friend have been struggling to make ends meet for years, with no family around to ask for support, only to suddenly be asked for help with lifting a curse by a guy who is as desperate as he is rich?

I read "An Amateur Witch's Guide to Murder" by K. Valentin, coming out on Octover 14th - and here are my thoughts on it.

An LGBTQ+ novel for fans of steamy romance, loathe-at-first sight, and Red, White, and Royal Blue. This is a much heavier book than that, but still good. Review--> #Bookthreads #Boooksky #BookBlogger #DiscoWitchesofFireIsland #LGBTQIA #AlcovePress #Fantasy #Romance #Bookstagram #Bookstadon

Fake It Like You Mean It I just reviewed Fake It Like You Mean It by Megan Murphy

Fake It Like You Mean It by Megan Murphy is a powerfully emotional story of learning to live with a loved one's illness and finding love in the process. It has moments that hit hard, but they're worth it. #FakeItLikeYouMeanIt #NetGalley #AlcovePress www.netgalley.com/book/472864/...

Two shirtless young men embrace on the dunes of a beach. One looks either asleep or injured, his face pressed to the hairy chest of the other man who looks down at him. Black and white photo. A red bar at the top of says: "Sex is one of the holiest of all the divine ceremonies, second only to dancing." A black bar at the bottom says: Disco Witch Manifesto #16.

In today’s New York (f’ing) Times! “Heartfelt . . . It perfectly makes a case for the necessity of hope, no matter how bleak the world may feel.”
— #newyorktimes #bookreview #alcovepress #romance #romantacy #thesignforhome #lgbtq #simonaudio #WSPitp #booksky #1980s #gayromance #mmromance

So much court intrigue and spies and secret codes...and the Plague.... BUT the ending was wonderful and you'll be cheering.

4/4

Thanks to #NetGalley and #AlcovePress for this copy of "The Shakespeare Secret."

I always enjoy "who wrote the Shakespeare plays" theories, especially when it's a close-knit trio of women who outshine all the men at Elizabeth's court.

Starring real-life characters:
1/4

Barely Even Friends I just reviewed Barely Even Friends by Mae Bennett

Barely Even Friends by Mae Bennett is a fun, fresh twist on a classic that does not skimp on the romance. A fun read all around. #BarelyEvenFriends #NetGalley #AlcovePress www.netgalley.com/book/310756/...

#DiscoWitchManifesto #29 “Love is not the cause of happiness. It’s a symptom of it.” The photo is of me and David Sumrak. Links in bio to Pre-Order novel Disco Witches of Fire Island
