The cover of Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. It shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face.

It is truly amazing and I couldn’t have gotten here without both my local community and this online book community!! We haven’t made back all of the kickstarter/ startup costs yet, but we are making a chunk more than operating costs each month, so it’s like really happening πŸ₯Ή

I haven’t had time to make a thread yet, but I did all of my end of February calculations, and I can officially say that Plot Twist Cafe is not only staying open, but also profiting!!!

We did it! We made bookstore real, and I’m so grateful for everyone who helped donate or share the cause πŸ’•πŸ“–

I would say I am not responsible enough to be put in charge of things, but tbh seeing our current political environment, I can’t be any worse?

Dark romance used to be way more dark settings/ themes rather than the romance itself being dark. So I say keep calling it what you feel fits best, and perhaps be the change you want to see in the genre! I write cozy dark romance w demons and crime but very wholesome relationships, so I support it.

Someone came to Plot Twist Cafe for our book club last night HOLDING MY BOOK?? It was dog-eared and beaten half to death. The cover was barely hanging on. She asked me to sign it and said it is one of her two regular rereads. When she put it down on the counter, I jumped back like a startled cat.
