Horns at the Microphone, a monster romcom concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, One Horn in the Spotlight.

The concept

A cellar comedy club in Leeds gives new acts five minutes. The compère keeps an extra microphone for a partner brave enough to interrupt. For the club’s resident monsters, a bad first date can become an excellent routine. Trouble starts when the other person buys a ticket.

Phil’s best heckler only comes on Fridays. Audrey’s excuse is that somebody ought to tell him when he’s wrong. The first night his joke lands perfectly, she is so pleased for him that the whole front row notices. The free companion novella is One Horn in the Spotlight.

The worldHumans and monsters live openly together. A comic can veto a recording. The club’s least prestigious engagement is a Tuesday afternoon for an audience of three.
Series tropesFlirtatious Teasing Banter • Slow Burn • Opposites Attract
Intended readershipAdult readers who enjoy sharp British banter, physical comedy and tenderness after the punchline.
Tone & contentPlayful open-door romance between consenting adults. Monster bodies are desirable throughout.

Take My Wings Offstage

Warren’s wings unfurl whenever Malik gets a good line. It makes sharing a dressing room tricky. It makes hiding his crush during a televised set physically impossible.

Malik insists on writing the caption for the silence himself. Warren apologises offstage and invites him on an entirely unfunny date. They decline the broadcaster’s staged kiss and go home together. Their next collaboration credits both by name.
