Welcome to My Speakeasy!

My name is Connor Peterson, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.

Chances are we’ve met somewhere, either online or at a book signing, but even if we’ve never talked before, here’s more about this Substack and also, more about me.

What to Expect

I’ll admit, I once belonged to the era of blogs and pdf files, before Amazon became the cornerstone for e-publishing. During that time, I used to share my work in a serialized format like this. So, it’s nice to get back to the basics.

I have three stories I’m updating every week. Delivered right to your inbox.

Which Stories?

You can find out more about each story by visiting the Story Index page.

  • One Crossroads Later is an LGBTQ+ supernatural fantasy story taking place in modern day Philadelphia. I update it every Tuesday.

  • Hard Number is an M/M supernatural romance that takes place in Boston and London, 1895. I update it every Thursday.

  • Deathspell is an LGBTQ+ historical fantasy set in Medieval England during the Wars of the Roses. I update it every Sunday.

Don’t want that many emails? No worries. You can select what sections you want to activate or deactivate. This post tells you how.

A Little More About Me

I’m in my 40s, and have been writing since I was a wee small fella growing up in Allentown, PA. I’m a trans fella, parent, and proud resident of Philadelphia, PA now.

My interests include:

  • Random historical facts

  • 80s Goth/New Wave music, including (but not limited to) Depeche Mode

  • Vampires. And dragons. Really, most supernatural creatures. But especially vampires.

  • Coffee in its various incarnations. The pic above was taken in a coffee shop, if that says anything about me.

I’m happy to answer any questions you might have, or just say hello. This Substack has a Chat attached to it, but I also have a Discord server. I’m also on most social media under the handle @authorconnorp.
