Give In to Me

Cover Reveal + Author's Note *UPDATED*

Cover Reveal + Author's Note *UPDATED*

Feb 09, 2021

Hello all! A few weeks ago under "Rise in the East," I posted character sheets for my new series. You got a glimpse of Darzsa and Josiah, and I'm happy to officially show them off in my new series, Give In to Me.

The setting is 1923 New Orleans, and with that comes framing this in how the world was almost 100 years ago. From the genre tags, it is obvious that Darzsa and Josiah's identities will come into play in this story. This is the Deep South steeped in Jim Crow and Prohibition, as well as homophobia and sexism. I won't shy away from them for the sake of fiction or appeasement, but be assured that there won't be any severely offensive slurs.

Before the story took form, I had a smart mouthed boy who liked makeup and pretty dresses stuck in my head. Eventually the plot took shape and here we have what is now a story of loss, love, and redemption. A lot of it will center around Darzsa and Josiah’s respective journeys to facing their pasts, but also the spiritual movement in New Orleans, which was founded in 1922. 

Real life Spiritual, Leafy Anderson, founded a spiritual church in New Orleans after the National Spiritualist Association of Churches decided to expel Black members. I initially wanted to write a story around American Spiritualism, but after some research and finding more about Leafy and her successor, Catherine Seals, I had to bring more spotlight to a woman who persevered through so much adversity and thrived in spite of her circumstances. 

Also, New Orleans is dear to me because I went to college there, and it’s a second home. I’m loving finding out new things about the city and sharing its rich culture in this story. 

Here is a full pic of the cover:

Also, here are the character sheets if you missed them under my other series.


Possible content warnings will be mentions of past abuse and mental health crises. Those instances will be few and far between but will be properly prefaced.

Don't let the horror tag spook you! There won't be any monsters or frights of that nature. What lies ahead? Read to find out.

Darzsa’s been alone in New Orleans for years, and when weeks slip by following his veteran brother’s promised visit, the possibility to make amends slips away. A chance encounter with Josiah – dutiful, old war friend of his brother and partner to Spiritual Lottie Howard. Their stormy relationship gives Darzsa hope for the home he’s been missing.

But Darzsa has never believed in the divine, and ruthless Lottie will tear him apart to retain control of Josiah and protect her prodigious new church.

Ambitious medium Lottie upends their tumultuous pasts, threatening to rip apart what they have. Darzsa and Josiah will cling to each other to move forward, but their underlying motivations may break them.
