@mcknight_writes I like the concept of a 1920s fantasy world! Though I'm also not big into high fantasy 😅 so maybe it'll appeal to readers like me who want lower levels of fantasy

[A.L. Heard 📚 jhoom @jhoomwrites]

@mlachica16 Thank you! And cannot relate 😂 I read sooo many vampire romances as a teenager

Did you know I have a Discord server? Mostly it's where I dump memes about hockey or keep notes on my current writing projects, but we also do fantasy hockey, have an NHL playoff bracket, and this year I'm doing holiday cards!

I have a few writing projects atm - here's one of them! The working title is "meet ugly" and is mm #hockeyromance about two players who get off to a rough start.

[A.L. Heard 📚 jhoom @jhoomwrites]

Dima is a vampire who likes to play hockey. Several members of the team Bloody Awful were named after horror villains - were you able to spot them?
Signed copies of Vampires Don't Play Hockey are now available in my ko-fi shop! Also available on KU :)

@mcknight_writes You should! It's fun to think about your character's main "accessories"

[A.L. Heard 📚 jhoom @jhoomwrites]

It's almost Halloween - better pick your costume 🎃

Learn some Swedish hockey phrases with Lars Nilsson, the Blue Crabs' resident Swede 🇸🇪💙💛🏒🦀

I love learning about other languages, and getting to play around with Swedish was definitely a fun part of writing The Trade Deadline! #hockeyromance
