Btw incase you missed this, this anthology containing my short story ft. very hot and very heartbroken vampires + an arranged marriage trope is now up for grabs on Netgalley. Go, right now, request, seriously. For the hot Tamil vampires please.
In the vampire cults of Tamil Nadu, the rules are simple: you drink the blood of another vampire, and you’re imprinted to them for life. So, when Shloka Iyer accidentally imprints herself to her ex-lover Kritik Nathan of a rival vampire cult during a blood hunt gone awry, she’s forced to marry him to salvage both the cults’ reputations. A VERY BLOODY KALYANAM by Anahita Karthik

DAMNED IF YOU DO is officially out in the world!!! It's been a long and winding road to get here, but I honestly wouldn't have had it any other way. I wrote DAMNED for the teen version of me, who really needed to see a queer biracial Pilipino American fight her demons. And win!

This is going to be the perfect spooky season read! I was absolutely blown away by the stories. Reading it feels like walking through a haunted house. 👻
Alex is open to queries from marginalized writers!@gravity_fail0925 Jul 2023
I’m so thrilled to be working on THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED with @knowles_editor and @PageStreetKids!!! The stories are so fabulous (penned by my dream line-up of authors!) Each story takes place in a specific room of a very special haunted house and features a unique monster 😈👀👻
