Announcing a new book...

alt text


Love and Lake Monsters is coming in fall 2026!

Publishers Marketplace deal report dated April 3, 2025: Author of A GENTLEMAN'S GENTLEMAN and Lambda Literary Award finalist TJ Alexander's LOVE AND LAKE MONSTERS, in which an amateur cryptid hunter rents a cabin in upstate New York in an effort to stave off a boring, normal life and instead make history by proving the existence of a little-known cryptid... but when his grumpy, grizzled new landlord reluctantly agrees to help in the hunt, their lives will never be normal again, to Lara Jones at Emily Bestler Books, for publication in fall 2026, by Larissa Melo Pienkowski at Jill Grinberg Literary Management (world English). Rights: sam@jillgrinbergliterary.com.

What can I tell you that isn’t already in the announcement? Well, see below for some thoughts on that.

Anyway! Can’t wait for you all to meet Nathan and Mack!


Potentially even bigger news: I’m going to start offering a paid tier of this newsletter! I need to pay my bills and there’s a lot of stuff I’d love to share that’s kind of secret, so to that end, today I am launching my Super Fun & Exclusive Paid Tier Newsletter via Seek & Strive Publishing, my own personal little house that will be bringing you some cool stuff in the near future. For a limited time, you lovely subscribers can get 50% off your first 3 months with the code TRUE25

Once a month you’ll receive things like:

  • Behind-the-scenes updates on my projects (including a ton of info on Love and Lake Monsters AND my next historical A Lady for All Seasons)

  • Exclusive commissioned fanart (there’s some for A Gentleman’s Gentleman cooking up as we speak)

  • Free swag and signed bookplate drops

  • First looks at some upcoming SECRET stuff that’s going to be…a little different from my previous work

  • Giveaways of books I’ve loved

  • Voice notes from me if I can figure out how to do that lol

  • More pictures of my cats

  • And best of all: a chance to support me and my art if you are so inclined and able!

The free version of the newsletter will always be free, FYI. I’m kind of nervous about doing this, but, especially in These Trying Times, I need to make things I have more control over. I hope you’ll come on the ride with me. Once again, that’s code TRUE25 for 50% off your first 3 months.
