Jordan L. Hawk didn’t set out to become one of the most beloved voices in queer paranormal fiction—but once they began weaving tales of haunted pasts, dangerous rituals, and fiercely loyal love, there was no turning back. Blending supernatural suspense with rich emotional depth, their stories have quietly reshaped the landscape of LGBTQ+ speculative fiction, drawing readers into worlds where magic, monsters, and romance coexist in perfect tension.

Raised in North Carolina, Hawk grew up steeped in folklore and ghost stories, the kind whispered across porches and remembered from yellowed pages. That early fascination with things lurking just beyond the veil shaped their storytelling instincts, but it was their passion for character-driven narratives that gave their work its pulse. Whether conjuring eldritch horrors or reimagining Victorian settings, Hawk always centers the fragile, complex humanity within the fantastical.

Rath & Rune

In a city where the veil between science and sorcery grows thin, secrets don’t stay buried—and neither do the dead. Rath & Rune draws readers into a brooding, gaslit world shaped by arcane experiments, forbidden knowledge, and the haunting echo of things left unsaid.

At its heart is the perilous dance between a reserved bookseller who sees more than he lets on and a warlock whose powers come with a steep price. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of occult mysteries, eldritch horrors, and institutions more dangerous than the monsters they claim to control. But beneath the layers of mystery and menace lies something even more fragile—hope, trust, and a romance as slow-burning as it is deeply earned.
