They came to her for help, but she's in way over her head, too. And her allies in the Justice Dept might be part of the problem.

We are an indie press with a small team. This is by design so we can fully devote our time and services to our authors. Using this model allows us to provide higher royalties than other hybrids, traditional book distribution, and include book marketing & PR at no additional cost

A bookshelf labeled Sci-Fi/Fantasy with both of John Wiswell's novels on the shelf facing outward. Someone You Can Build A Nest In has a shelf tag where "customer pick" is clearly visible, Wearing The Lion has a shelf tag proclaiming it "critically acclaimed"

A bookshelf labeled Sci-Fi/Fantasy with both of John Wiswell's novels on the shelf facing outward. Someone You Can Build A Nest In has a shelf tag where "customer pick" is clearly visible, Wearing The Lion has a shelf tag proclaiming it "critically acclaimed"

A shelf tag reading: "Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. A story about a misunderstood (and yet, not misunderstood) monster and finding love. It is both cozy and gruesome, sweet and gore-y, and is perfect. If you love monsters, monster hunting, LGBTQ love, and mystery, this one's for you. Felicia."

A shelf tag reading: Critically Acclaimed: Wearing The Lion, by John Wiswell. "Wiswell alternates between Hera's and Heracles's perspectives, painting distinctly modern portraits of both. The result is a Greek mythology retelling that stands out from the crowd through it's sheer sense of fun." - Publishers Weekly

Part of my birthday weekend celebrations included a stop at @powells.bsky.social in Portland! I had to stop and see if @wiswell.bsky.social 's fantastic books were on the shelf- imagine my delight to find them with shelf tags as a customer pick and critically acclaimed!

I've read enough Agatha at this point to state boldly that "And then there were none" was her best.

Absolutely ahead of its time and I'd love to see her notes for how she approached writing it.

Book cover for The Citizen of Eastport, by V B Ruth. Front cover features portraits of three characters, one facing front and the other two in profile on either side, with a menacing metallic figure behind and overhead. Back cover shows a spilled rocks glass and a dead body in a pool of light.

Blurb reads:
Vi used to be a fighter. In the underground rings she was a champion, but on the streets of Eastport, where gangs and trade powers fight for dominance, the most she could ever be is a pawn. Instead she keeps her head down, takes care of her people, and tries to avoid trouble.

Trouble comes for her anyway, when a wealthy citizen decides he wants something she has. As his net draws tighter around her, hope rests in the unlikeliest places: the provocative thief she can't keep her hands off of, and the childhood sweetheart she once betrayed.

It's here!! I've been working on THE CITIZEN OF EASTPORT for 5 years and it's finally time to unleash it upon the world. If you like messy queer relationships, intrigue, noir, and butch protagonists, you might want to check it out.
