My husband, best friend, and Deliver Us Some Evil co-host Elijah M. Newton just made his first professional fiction sale. Black Hare Press picked up his deliciously dark “I Will Love You Always” for their upcoming erotic horror anthology BLOODLUST. The book releases February 14, 2025, in electronic, print, and audio formats. The Kindle version is available for preorder right now, and honestly, look at that gorgeous cover art!
It’s a watershed moment, for both of us.
Fiction, memoir, art, the podcast performance, the research, the scripts, maybe even his endless comments on YouTube that get him banned more often than not. Elijah is driven to write, to speak the truth even if it’s disguised by an uglier mask, by fiction, by nightmare. He writes by instinct, by the seat of his pants.
And that’s what I love about him. He writes fearlessly.
This is that moment that separates him from the swarms of other writers, or would-be writers. From those who say they’re going to write and never do, those who say they’re going to publish and never submit, those who submit once and never overcome rejection, and those who submit and never make a sale.
I’m proud and humbled to walk by his side.
And this is just the beginning…
(Seriously, what is that lipstick? Crime Scene Claret? Red Hot Hemoglobin? Got Platelets? Transylvanian Transfusion? Red Die #40? Carnage in Crimson?)
