[Book Snippet] magnifiqueNOIR episode 8: Fit Right In
And Lonnie thought coming out had been difficult.
Though, to be fair, she hadn’t done that on her own terms. Having such a large family meant that it was damn near impossible to keep any secrets. One of her cousins had told another cousin who told the third one, who then proceeded to spread the word to the fourth one and the fourth one’s much chattier sister, who then blurted it out during one of Penny Knox’s patented Sunday dinners.
By then, the story had morphed into an otherworldly being where Lonnie had gone from holding a girl’s hand on the way to school to having a full-blown make-out session in the locker room of her eighth-grade gym class. A mortified Lonnie had no choice but to tell the true story and reveal her feelings for the cute girl in her class, and she swore that no junior high make-out session had happened. She should’ve ratted out her pimple-faced cousin, who she’d seen kissing a boy – tongue and all – but Lonnie had been too busy worrying about her Grand-Penny’s reaction to her liking girls that way. She’d expected some tears and some, “Where did I go wrong in raising you,” but, to her surprise, her grandmother told her cousin off for sticking her nose in other people’s business.
“And I know damn well yo’ fast ass be out there with them little boys,” which had proven that Penny Knox was, in fact, a mutant fresh out of Xavier’s School of the Gifted – a reference Lonnie held dear because her crush had a thing for Storm.
Sometimes we come out of the closet.
Sometimes, there was never a closet to begin with.
And other times… we get an unwanted push.
Don’t be like Lonnie’s cousins.
You can find more information about my book via the website or the Facebook page <3 Take care, magical ones!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who came by the table this weekend and supported my new book series “magnifiqueNOIR” this weekend. I’m happy to say that I came home with only three preview books left, and have to order more in time for A-Kon next weekend :)
I’m also happy to announce that if you’re not going to be at a con where I am, you can order the preview book online here!
Thanks so much for the support, and don’t forget: you are magical <3
Was this why? Was this the reason he’d told her to be quiet, because this needed to happen?
The middle of winter has given the residents of the warehouse plenty of time to mull over their last adventure. The Storyteller has been found, but has left behind only more questions and no real answers. Just when the group exhausts all of their resources, a new organization comes to the surface that could tie up all the loose threads.
Unfortunately, the Chapter isn’t what it appears to be, and the Hunters are now left to deal with a new threat that hits a little too close to home. What secrets is the Chapter hiding, and is it worth uncovering the truth?
The second book in our Hunters series is now available for preorder! The book is set to be released at the end of April, but you can preorder it now <3 <3 <3 There are three options:
1. A physical copy (signed by myself and my partner, the authors)
2. A combo package of the first book and second book (both signed by myself and my partner, the authors)
Thank you, everyone, for your support :)
I know of the Storyteller, it whispers into the man’s ear, I’ve met him. If you promise not to kill me, I’ll take you to him.
Alix Andre DeBenit and Randall Fagan are Hunters, part of a hidden network of humans who track and kill the monsters lurking in our world so everyone else can pretend they don’t exist. But when a living shadow mentions someone called the Storyteller, Alix hesitantly decides to learn more.
They say the Storyteller lives in a massive library full of books that tell every being’s life story. He can read these books, rewrite them and change anything he wants, even if it’s already happened. That’s the power Alix wants, the power to bring his murdered family back and he’s determined to make the Storyteller do it. He just has to decide if working with the very creatures he’s supposed to kill is worth it.
The first book in our series is on sale in time for the holiday shopping season. You can get it on Amazon or on our Etsy shop <3 The sale is for the ebook copy of the book, but it’s still possible to get signed, physical copies :)
Haven~
How I feel about the character:
Out of all the characters in Seeking the Storyteller, I’d have to say that Haven is one of my favorites - though I’m not sure if he’s my absolute favorite. He has such an interesting story to explore and I’m going to really enjoy writing about him and where he’s going to go in the future.
All the people I ship romantically with the character:
Cyn, obviously. Hmmm… also I’d have to say Xaver (in my own little fangirl mind). I can also see Haven having a relationship with Mira, or I could if you know, certain things didn’t happen in the series. I occasionally play with thoughts of who Haven would have been paired with had he not been chased out of the demon world, maybe an attractive Red Dragon? ^__^
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
Him and his dragon, completely. Haven and I-lyan have a very close relationship that he’ll never have with anyone else, not even his mother. Also I see him getting close to Fagan, since Xaver is gone now and someone kind of needs to fill that void.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
Is that possible when I helped create him? Hmm, I can’t even really say unused story ideas, because we’re still writing. So maybe that him and Xaver had a more then mentor and student relationship, which isn’t said in the story, but my little fangirl heart imagines something happened.
One thing I wish would happen/ had happened with this character in canon:
That would be telling, because those canon ideas haven’t happened yet.
Reblogging since it pertains to our book!
One year ago, my first book, “Treat Me Kindly,” was published by Damnation Books :) To celebrate, I’m offering autographed copies at a discount from now until 6/11. I’m happy to say that I actually don’t have many copies left after conventions in May, so if I run out, I’ll still honor the discounted price until next week :)
Thank you, everyone, for supporting everything I do <3
