TUSKS, TAILS, & TEACAKES

Help! This is a 40 stop tour and I still have nearly 20 open slots. Can anyone share a feature? TOUR DATE: APRIL 4 - 8 Tusks, Tails & Teacakes: A Slice-of-Life Cozy Romantic Fantasy high fantasy Tropes: high fantasy he falls first cinnamon roll hero low stakes slow-burn romance found family cozy vibes tavern makeover coming home mythical creatures neurodivergent orc A scoop of high fantasy, a spoonful of Hallmark rom-com, and a generous sprinkle of cottagecore coziness. Welcome to The Tusk & Tail Tavern where the fire is always crackling, the meat pies are rich and savory, the air is filled with laughter and bard-song, and friends are like family. At least, it used to be… Half-elf Lira is eager to return to The Tusk & Tail Tavern, where she and her companions set off on their adventures many years ago. But the rundown tavern is no longer the bustling hub where dwarf mercenaries and halfling farmers shared pints over a friendly game of dice. More crucially, what Lira came back for—what she buried in the tavern’s basement—is now bricked over.

Lost and Stolen Gods (Labyrinth of Gods, #1) by Debbie Cassidy

Lost and Stolen Gods (Labyrinth of Gods, #1)

April 4th 2025
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance
Gods aren’t born, they’re made.

I should have died the same night that a monster murdered my grandmother, but I was saved, stolen from my world, and thrown into a realm ravaged by an endless war between ancient gods called Asura.

I’m told that I’m a demigod, that there are others like me, brought to this world to replenish their dwindling numbers. They want us to prove we’re worthy of ascension and fight alongside them.

I don’t give a damn about their war. All I want is vengeance on the monster that killed my only family. A monster from their world. And if the only way to kill it is to become a god, then I’m all in.

But the path of ascension is paved with dangerous tests, culminating in a lethal trial called the labyrinth of gods.

Only an ancient fire elemental has the power to help me survive it.

His wicked mouth sets my pulse racing, and his dark threats turn my blood to ice. Charismatic and terrifying, he attracts and repels me in equal measure, and I have no doubt he’d snap my neck in a heartbeat if freed from the magical bonds that compel him to aid me.

He hopes to be my undoing, and if I’m not careful I may not make it to the labyrinth alive.

To claim the vengeance that I desire, I’ll need to protect my body and shield my mind, but most of all, I’ll need to guard my heart.

Enter an Otherworldly realm filled with gods, monsters, and mystical beings. Opposites attract and love and conflict collide, in this forced proximity romance.

Deubrise is a land blessed by the breath of the slumbering gods. Magíq lives within nature, powerful and beautiful.

My sister thinks she’s saving us. She’s wrong.

Rebellion brews in the streets of Venovia. The wealthiest families and Circuit scramble to dodge accusations while the air thickens with chaos and poison. Meanwhile, as a captive of my sister and leader of the Inherited Terra Movement, I’m facing my own hell.

I can’t fight back, not while she’s holding the lives of those I love as leverage. She’s determined to use my rare ability to bond banshees—mutated druadans evolved to survive the wastelands—believing it’s the key to saving the country.

But her experiments are cruel, and the cost is devastating. The banshees weren’t meant to bond with humans, and I can do nothing but watch as my supposed ‘gift’ warps people into rage-fueled monsters. With every passing day, I feel myself unraveling, slipping closer to becoming one of them.

The clock to save the country is ticking, but if I don’t find a way to escape, the person my riders love, the person I am, might be lost forever.

Bloodbound is book three in a series where the main character will end up with multiple love interests. It is a dystopian sci-fi romance and includes elements of violence, death, mental illness, torture, harm to animals, sexual situations, and infertility.
