Sometimes you try to get a really dramatic picture of your book because someone sent you flowers and you think ‘this’ll be so easy it’ll naturally look so cool’ and then you spend over an hour and, like, 40 pics and have to get a whole other person to come hold something in place so you can’t see your messy kitchen beyond 😌✨ Don’t forget to: ✨Order now—everywhere books are sold! ✨Request it from the library! ✨Review it on Amazon/Barnes & Nobles! #newbook #fantasybook #anamateurwitchsguidetomurder #alcovepress #fantasy #bookstagram #paranormaldetective #queer #booksofinstagram #writer #fantasyreader #goth #gothaesthetic #witchbooks by @kvalentinwrites

Week late wrap up post from @laworldcon Worldcon 2026!!! Despite taking my back out right before 😭 and missing my last panel because of dog emergency at home (he’s ok) I had so much fun! So many amazing panels!!! #worldcon2026 #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writerslife #kvalentin Started the con off right with a panel on cannibalism in literature. Shocked to realize I had the hot take that vamps and werewolves are cannibals 😂 Fantastic Demi/ace in fantasy panel with Clara Ward, Alex Brown, and Margaret Owen! Great turn out too!!! I got stopped all con to chat about this one (and the cannibalism one lol)💖 Who knows what I just said 😂😂😂 Fantastic latine meetup!!! So many Puerto Ricans in the house!!!! 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 Oogie Boogie night at Disney! Obligatory ears shot w/ @missveryvery The cause of our Disney adventure @kuliashawrites had joined the party 💖💖💖 Sorry for the crop ya’all insta doing ya’all dirty 😭 the photographer was next level! Caught the lunar eclipse (and thought it was funny framed with Spider-Man building lol)! Wonderful Roots on the Page panel! Everyone was so wicked smart (and funny) 💖💖💖 Amazing author meet-up!!!! Failed hard at getting any pics of the Queer Fantasy panel 😭 (I actually failed at getting any pics full stop—all of these are donated by a friend) but it was fantastic and funny and had @corryllee @charliejaneanders @jscottcoatsworth @lark.morgan.lu All my panels were fantastic but this one was my fav! Everyone was SO funny! The audience was fantastic! And after we were, like, high-fiving that we managed to make the audience laugh! Antonia Hodgson pictured first (no insta so no tag)! Anyway, all of these people are delightfully hysterical!!! Till next time, Worldcon! by @kvalentinwrites

Have you ever thought: I sure wish I could hear K talk about a bunch of interesting, wild, yet distantly related topics while in California? Well, next week is your lucky day!!! In 1.5 short weeks I’ll be at the World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim @laworldcon If you’re attending, I’ve got an awesome assortment of panel topics to delight (with some fantastic author peers) and I’d love you to say hi!!! And don’t forget, I’ve got a hilarious book out now, called AN AMATEUR WITCH’S GUIDE TO MURDER, from @alcovepress about a broke, goth, wannabe brujo with a demon trapped inside, trying to uncurse a super cursed (and kinda cute) guy. Everywhere books are sold!!! #worldcon #AnAmateurWitchsGuideToMurder #bookstagram #funnybooks #worldcon2026 by @kvalentinwrites

Soooo late to this party but I couldn’t decide any of these for forever. I ended up going for ‘formative to my brain chemistry’ as requirements so this isn’t the new hotness I love but rather the things that rewired my brain! Did any of these transform your formative child minds? (And don’t forget that I have a new book out there that definitely combines a bunch of these aesthetics: AN AMATEUR WITCH’S GUIDE TO MURDER—available everywhere books are sold)! #aboutme #fantasywriter #authorlife #writingcommunity #horrorwriter by @kvalentinwrites

Last day of Pride, but don’t let it not being June stop you from reading widely!!! A few recs from my ‘just read and loved’ and ‘about to read’ lists! ✨ An Arcane Inheritance by @wordsiren ✨ Love Galaxy by @authorsierrabranham ✨ She Is a Haunting by @nvtran_ ✨ Queen Demon by @marthawellswriter ✨ I, Medusa by @ayanagray_ ✨ Our Rogue Fates by @sarahmarshauthor ✨ A Prince Among Pirates by @kaitlynabdou ✨ Looking for Group by Alexis Hall ✨ An Amateur Witch’s Guide to Murder @kvalentinwrites (It me!) ALSO today is the last day to get AN AMATEUR WITCH’S GUIDE TO MURDER for just $1.99 on Kindle! 🖤 An Amateur Witch’s Guide to Murder 🖤 Mateo is overworked, underpaid, and the vessel for an ancient evil. But when Topher walks in, cursed, extremely rich, (kind of cute in a scared rabbit sort of way), and hoping for help, Mateo decides he can earn cash for that exorcism with a side hustle lifting hexes. Never mind that he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing…or that using magic accelerates his possession. #urbanfantasy #anamateurwitchsguidetomurder #paranormalfantasy #paranormaldetective #queer by @kvalentinwrites

Only one more week of June which means only one more week you can snag Mateo and his gothy misadventures for just $1.99 on kindle! From @alcovepress / @crookedlanebooks It’s not gonna get any cheaper so be sure to: 🖤 Take advantage if you’re interested (link in bio) 🖤 Tell a friend (you’ll save them so much money) 🖤 Scream it at an enemy (maybe this is the book that will defeat them—you dunno!) AN AMATEUR WITCH’S GUIDE TO MURDER The Dresden Files meets the queer-chaos of Gideon the Ninth. Mateo Borrero has ninety-nine problems, and they all hinge on the fact that his bruja mother turned him into the vessel for an ancient evil and then bounced. He needs money for an exorcism. Enter Topher, who’s cursed, rich, (kind of cute), and too clueless to clock that Mateo’s never had a client before. #urbanfantasy #fantasybook #anamateurwitchsguidetomurder #witches #paranormaldetective by @kvalentinwrites
