About
Established in early 2025, Synth & Syntax was designed to be the landing point for indie authors Bt. Hearst and Mitch Miller. Operating under the tagline Two Names, One Brain, S&S is the umbrella their combined works can be found under.
Bt. Hearst (he/him) - is an erotica and erohorror author. Best known for PROFANE SACRAMENT and BOY NEXT DOOR, he is partial to robots, monsters, and retro aesthetics.
Mitch Miller (they/he) - is a queer, nonbinary, trans masc author of horror and other weird fictions. When not writing—and chronic pain permitting—they can be found out on the trails or wandering around for a glimpse at classic cars.

None of the works presented by S&S are the product of AI generation. We are firmly against its use in any part of the book process - from writing, to editing, to cover design. We believe in art done by humans for humans.
