Drowned by men. Saved by a monster.
The last place Alexandra Bailey expects her routine life of domestic journalism to lead is being sucked into icy floodwaters below New York City with a knife in her ribs. Headlines like this happen to other people, but it's real, and she knows she's dead. Which makes the circumstances of her survival as impossible as the woman who drags her from the water.
Saved but hardly safe, Alex wakes in the Underground, a world of misfits and monsters thriving below the streets. It's a journalism goldmine. One Alex can't resist digging into after learning her beastly savior is Leanna Farrow, adopted daughter of an infamous and "presumed dead" scientist. But Alex's curiosity, coupled with her rapidly developing feelings for Leanna, put both women in danger when Alex’s inquiries pique the interest of a powerful family with bloody secrets connected to the Underground.
If Alex wants to unravel the secrets of the world below she'll have to walk the razor's edge, but some mysteries are better left buried.

Blood and Tines Snippet...
The heat pouring from Ashling as she stepped into Mal's personal space was the kiss of sunlight after months of deep winter. She could feel it through the fabric of her tunic and squeezed her eyes shut, struggling to close the doors of her heart. Push and pull. Give and take. She wanted to push Ashling away as much as she wanted to pull her close. The strong hands of another made that decision for her. Gentle fingers on her chin brought their eyes together, capping any further protest. Mal's mind said no but her heart contradicted, stranding her body in the middle.
"I told you when we started this that wolves mate for life," Ashling whispered, eyes so yellow they might have been liquid gold. "You're in my blood, Mal. You've infected me in the best way, and I revel in it."
WE DID IT FAM!!! UNDERGROUNDER has surpassed 500K reads on KU in under eight months. I’m absolutely beside myself. This is so awesome! =D

"There's still so much left to say," Alex eventually said, fidgeting with her hands. "I have so much I want to tell you and show you, but right now, I don’t think I have the right words. So…would it be all right if we shared a dance instead?"
I've never danced before, Lee admitted sheepishly, tugging at the edges of her suit jacket.
"I can show you," Alex offered with a hopeful smile. "If you’d like."
You know… I think I'd like that.
Unable to hide her relief, Alex extended her arm, which Lee took, the two sweeping into an open pocket on the dance floor.

There was too much to keep track of. Her hands wanted to wander and reciprocate, fingers curling, fabric splitting, skin reddening under the tips of her nails. Her mouth wanted to find the pulse at Alex's throat and hunker there, bruising skin with teeth and tongue, but her fangs were sharp. She was sharp and dangerous and different...

Alex knew before the next breath passed her lips what was about to happen. She could feel Lee’s already tense body coil, the hands on her thighs curling as she pivoted on the balls of her feet toward a new threat. Fangs on full display, the deep purpling discoloring her features darkened further, making the phosphorescent of her eyes an electric blue rimmed in black.
Lee was going to lunge.
Georgia was going to shoot.
Alex would lose two people in one night unless she gambled with the only chip she had available...

Jae’s Writeblr (re) intro
Hello all! I can’t say this is necessarily an introduction as I’ve been on Tumblr for a LONG time, but I’ve never formally burst onto the writing scene outside of fandom, so here I am making that official introductory post!
ABOUT
I’m J.E. Glass (Jae is fine and preferred), a 30-something she/her lesbian author of dark/urban fantasy and paranormal romance with a heavy focus on female-centric and wlw stories. I’ve been writing since I was old enough to correctly hold a pencil, but I only just became published in April of this year with my Sapphic Beauty and the Beast retelling debut UNDERGROUNDER.
I work full time for City Municipalities and write in the free time, but I’m also an avid convention goer and cosplayer with my wife and partner of 16 years. You can find me over on TikTok (@jaeeglass) and Twitter (@JEGlass_). I love creating book trailers and doing nerdy/fandom related TikToks based on my current fixation...which happens to be Gideon the Ninth and Owl House, at the moment.
My Main Projects
Something I love doing is creating worlds where all my stories can exist separately from one another while remaining under the same banner. I have five books in the works all taking place at different points in time in a society that walks in stride with our own while remaining hidden. I love blending the genres of urban and dark fantasy and focusing on queer female rep. Below is a list of all books both available and upcoming in chronological order.
- BLOOD AND TINES (Adult dark fantasy, due to release in Spring/Summer of 2023): In 1666, London burned and a family of Witches fled. In 1676, twin sisters find themselves trapped in opposing worlds. One pitted against hostile fae, and one facing down the Huntsmen who exterminate their kind. Survival for both will mean bloody sacrifice.
- UNDERGROUNDER Book #1 (Adult paranormal romance available now): A Beauty left to die. A Beast dying to live. Two women collide in a time of crime and crisis that will either unite them in extraordinary ways or burn both their worlds to ash.
- TOPSIDER Book #2 (Adult paranormal romance): Date to be determined
- INSIDER Book #3 (Adult paranormal romance): Date to be determined
- ETHER ROOTS (Adult urban fantasy): A Witch accused of faking her death is dragged back into the Community she fought to escape when her identity is uncovered by a human looking for the keys to resurrection, her ex-fiancée looking for answers, and the poltergeist of the boy she accidentally killed as a child.
Conclusion
I hope to interact with this thriving community more and get to know some of you! Please feel free to send me a DM, anon, or chat with me any time. Especially if you've read my work and want to scream at me for the trauma xD I grew up in fandom, so my love language is speaking with readers and flailing together.
