my book! Hunger's Bite

Pinned

Hunger's Bite is out!

A specter is haunting the Atlantic!

After growing up together on the luxurious SS Lark, Neeta Pandey and Emery Botwright are ready to start their lives. Emery wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and sail the Lark forever, while Neeta yearns to travel the world. But neither will have any future at all if the Lark’s new owner, Mr. Honeycutt, has his way.

Mr. Honeycutt... The first-class passengers adore him, while he makes the ship a nightmare for the crew. Twisted by unnatural appetites, the rich are actually transforming into something less than human, and their insatiable demands soon push the staff toward a—quite literal— burnout.

Something otherworldly is undeniably aboard the SS Lark, something horribly hungry. But it’s not Wick Farley: vampire, secret agent, and paranormal investigator. Alone and at sea, with only Neeta and Emery to help him, he must uncover the truth about Mr. Honeycutt. And fast—before a ravenous craving for power consumes them all. 

Available in hardcover or paperback, and ebook from your favorite online retailers! Or ask your local librarian!

Try it for yourself!

Draw three subjects in the foreground, midground, and background using atmospheric perspective! You can open the image in a new tab to get a higher resolution to draw on (or you can use your own!)

(thanks @leog4u for letting me use their great photos. and if you liked this tutorial, consider grabbing a copy of my graphic novel featuring these characters!)

hey man i finally read hunger's bite! and it was really good! some of those page turns were gnarly lol i had to take a deep breath like jumping in the pool. i love your paneling too and use of color. and i love your characters :) when the next book is ready, you can count on me to preorder! fingers crossed the publisher reups! (p.s. if they do would your preference be one or two books? do you feel like you have two more books worth of story in the tank?)

(minor spoiler alert)

hello, I'm a queer author and, being very disabled and often too ill to watch TV or get out of bed, I read A Lot. This year, after deciding to stop reading anything I wasn't enjoying right away, I ended up reading SO MANY amazing books that really got me through it.

If YOU want to read more cool and/or gay books, I wrote some proper blogs about my favourites, what exactly I was most obsessed with, and whether you might like them too:

More books, nuance and yelling at the links:

TNP has updated... the creature gets worse and nothing bad happens to our friend Lorn. I swear ✥✥✥✥ episode five can be read on webtoon canvas and tapas

(Hunger's Bite spoilers) I know you must receive a million messages along the lines of "Hunger's Bite good" but honestly it's one of those things that I finished and thought "yeah, that was pretty good!" and then proceeded to think about nearly every day afterwards. It was good when I finished it (unintentionally in one sitting) and has only gotten better in reflection. Lot I could say about favorite scenes or moments but I think one of the most intense, haunting pieces was the realization at the end that Neeta, Aamir, and Constance were apparently the only non-first class staff or passengers to survive. That after it took Emery being in danger to shock first class passengers into caring enough to abandon ship... It's a very grim commentary. Extremely excellent book. Wonderfully thematically dense despite being such a breezy read.

🫵 constance

(i'll also be discussing spoilers here)

that element--that the first class only cared when it was one of their own and did nothing to help anyone else--is one of those things i think you pick up on the second read and maybe don't quite internalize the first time through. it's otherwise a very 'and then everybody held hands and worked together' ending, which is what you'd expect from an anti-cap work like this...but it was important to me that we not pretend everything was just fine and dandy because honeycutt lost his influence. you don't need honeycutt to bring out the worst in people (as the later scene with goldfinch is meant to convey)

i'm glad you've picked up on it :^) i'm very proud of the book's ending
