Freydís ☾ — The Clergy : Happy Pride Month!

Something free, something new, something coming oh so soon...

Welcome to The Clergy: a free newsletter for fans of speculative fiction, poetry, eroticism, religious mysticism, and divinity. As most of you know, I’m Freydís (fray-DEES) Moon, a storyteller, diviner, and book lover. EXODUS 20:3, WITH A VENGEANCE, THREE KINGS, and THE GIDEON TESTAMENTS are available now!

♡

Happy Pride Month! I’m so, so excited for all the wonderful book recommendations I’ve been seeing on social media, and I’m thankful for every single one of you who have continued to support my books, request them at libraries, buy them at your local indies, and read (thousands!) of pages. April was a difficult month, but it hasn’t slowed me down in the slightest and I’m really damn excited for everything I have in store. As a queer author writing queer books, I constantly look for relatable content: strong, flawed, vicious, messy, loving, heartfelt characters who reflect the community around me. One I’ve grown up and into. So, if you’re hungry for gothic fiction, love stories, villain stories, high heat romance, bisexual representation, pansexual representation, transmasculine representation, transfemme representation, latine representation (and so much more) then make sure to grab a few of my books this month or recommend them to a friend ♡

Exodus 20:3 is FREE for a limited time!

It’s true! My debut novelette, Exodus 20:3, is free on Amazon for a few days to celebrate Pride Month! If you haven’t picked this one up or you want to start a friend on the Moon Catalog, then this is the perfect time to grab a triple award-winning monster romance—

“The writing is gorgeous, provocative both in the sense of erotic and for being doctrinally quite bold. . .” — The New York Times

What to Expect

Here is a little ‘key’ to each of my books and what kind of queer representation to expect in each one:

• Exodus 20:3 — gay transmasc lead, pansexual angel/monster love interest

• With A Vengeance — pansexual non-binary lead, pansexual demon love interest

• Three Kings — gay transmasc lead, bisexual love interest, pansexual love interest

• Heart, Haunt, Havoc — bisexual transmasc lead, pansexual non-binary love interest

• Wolf, Willow, Witch — bisexual lead, bisexual love interest

• Saint, Sorrow, Sinner — bisexual lead, lesbian love interest

Serial Installments!

I’ve been mulling over some new, fun things I can offer my readership that doesn’t involve supporting Amazon or promoting my work on social media. I know Patreon-esque subscription perks are a big deal. A lot of readers enjoy getting an exclusive look at new material before it becomes book-shaped. That being said, I’d love to start offering something similar via this newsletter! Since Substack offers a paid tier, I can easily make the material opt-in for those of you who would like:

• Bonus material for existing books! Think spicy scenes, short unreleased excerpts, more of your favorite characters.

• Brand new material! A short sapphic monster romance, an angelic novella set in a whole new universe, exclusive poetry, literary short stories, erotic horror short stories, drabbles and one-shots.

• Exclusive First Look at My Next Novel! Get to read my new material chapter-by-chapter before it ever goes to print. These will be unedited and in-progress, so expect to see a few typos, but you’ll be getting access to uncharted territory.

• For Writers: I’ll be discussing publishing, querying, creating a pitch, refining your pages, and smart marketing, too! Many of you watched me take a pen name from no one to someone in under two years and I’m happy to show you how ♡

The first paid material will begin in July, starting with some publishing advice for writers interested in self-publishing, an excerpt from a new project, and an exclusive poem!
