The magic of belonging

Monsters deserve
a place to belong.

A magical small town. Unlikely couples. A whole neighbourhood of monsters finding their people.

Start with Kraken’s Coffee, then explore the rest of Sanctuary Cove.

Pink-haired Milo and teal-skinned Cass in a neon-lit bar, from the Trunk Show comics.

Milo & Cass · Trunk Show

One pink elephant.
One very grumpy kraken.

Milo is an exiled elephant shifter. Cass is the kraken bartender who really did not need another complication. One night was meant to be enough. You can see how well that went.

For readers who like their monster romance hotter.

The author behind the monsters

Hello. I’m Baert.

I write gay romance. Some of the men have horns. Some have tentacles. Most would insist they’re handling things perfectly well, right up until they fall in love.

If you like competent men losing their composure, grumpy monsters getting attached, and a home worth coming back to, pull up a chair.
