Faeros Publishing, a dynamic branch of Wootton Major Publishing, is thrilled to announce the launch of “A Sinister Love,” the debut novel of neurodivergent author Spencer Hixon. This unique urban fantasy, brimming with comedy, romance, mystery, and action, marks the start of a riveting journey through the amusing absurdities of small business ownership and the challenges of mental health.
The story introduces readers to Scribble, a bookish imp fired from her desk job in Purgatory and reassigned as a “Sinister.” Her task? To tempt Paul, a person of color grappling with depression following the death of his mother and former girlfriend, as well as the betrayal of a childhood friend. Paul, who inherits the struggling bookstore “Othello’s Books,” finds himself at the heart of a complex narrative that intricately weaves together the strands of loss, love, courage, and identity.
Spencer Hixon, bringing his rich, diverse background into his writing, offers a poignant exploration of depression and personal flaws. For over a decade, Hixon’s life experiences, including his neurodiversity and passion for writing, resonate powerfully throughout his work. Hixon, also a co-host of “Board Game Rundown” on YouTube, continues to engage with his audience through his creative endeavors and social media presence, including his popular #twinfessions.
“A Sinister Love is not just a story; it’s a journey through the complexities of the human heart, set against a fantastical backdrop,” says Hixon. “It’s about facing our demons, both literal and metaphorical, and finding strength in the most unexpected places.”
The book, slated for older teens through thirty-somethings, is the first in a series, with a second book featuring different characters already in the editing phase. Join the Kickstarter campaign, which went live on April 1st. Learn more about the book at the author’s website, spencerhixon.com.

About the Book
In the shadowy realms of Purgatory, a bookish imp, dismissed from her mundane desk job, finds herself in the human world with an unusual mission: to lead a grieving bookstore owner astray. But her task is complicated by her own romantic incompetence, learned through a lifetime of reading bad romance novels, and an unexpected connection with the human, a man fighting to keep his mother’s legacy alive amid personal tragedies and betrayals. As they both face a sinister plot that entwines their fates, will the imp choose love over duty, risking everything for an emotion she was never meant to feel?
