StoryBundle: Queer Weird West Tales

Standard

Hi everyone!

Well, Queer Weird West Tales was already a bargain, in my opinion – 22 queer paranormal stories set on a variety of frontiers (my own ‘Set in Stone’ honoured to be among the collection), all bundled together. But what if there were even more stories in that bundle…?

This month’s StoryBundle is themed around ‘Pride’, and Queer Weird West Tales is just one of the books included in the collection. It’s a frankly ridiculous amount of book for your buck, so don’t miss out – snap up the bundle while it lasts.

Talk to you soon!

Out today!

Hi everyone,

Well, in all the excitement of NaNoWriMo starting I almost forgot to promote my own book on release day, but this is your reminder that The Man Left Behind and the Boy Left Behind is out now from whichever eBook distributor takes your fancy (assuming it’s listed via that link, of course).

I hope you enjoy it, and I’ll talk to you soon!

One Week to Launch!

Standard

Hi everyone,

Don’t forget to preorder your copy of The Man Left Behind and The Boy Left Behind so you can read it as soon as it releases on the 1st of November!

Following Henry Lawson through two World Wars, it’s a glimpse of the Home Front through a rainbow-tinted lens. In The Man Left Behind, Henry gets the chance to live and work in a way that feels right to her as all the other men of her village go off to war, and meets a very important person in the process. In The Boy Left Behind, Henry offers a young evacuee a safe place to stay.

Henry would probably identify as a trans man in modern times, but she hasn’t encountered that terminology. She uses she/her pronouns.

If these sound like stories you’d like to read, you can preorder the eBook from your preferred store here. Thanks for reading!

*stage whisper*

Hi everyone,

I’m going to be keeping this fairly quiet for a bit because I want to focus on the anthology launch (what anthology? I’m glad you asked, let me get you up to speed) but I finally got around to making a couple more of my out of print stories available again, and you can find them here.

It is, I’m afraid, rather a long preorder period – I want to have time to devote to celebrating Queer Weird West Tales and all the wonderful stories in it (I’m slowly reading my ARC and I’m frankly blown away by the worlds my fellow authors have created) but hopefully it’ll be worth the wait! It’s the first time these two stories have been put together, as they were originally in two separate anthologies, and I hope old and new readers alike will enjoy them.

More about that nearer the time, more about Queer Weird West Tales very soon!

Going, going…

If you haven’t yet picked up a copy of Submerge, my debut novel, time is running out. My wonderful publishers at Manifold Press are winding down operations and Submerge won’t be available after the end of this month. The eBook is currently on sale, so do pick up either that or the paperback edition soon if you want it!

About Submerge: Jamie Hill walks into his local LGBT+ nightclub, Submerge, intending to make friends. He meets comedian Addie Crewe and her girlfriend Gina Wilson – but it’s Miles Bradford who really catches his eye. Miles is smart, funny, kind. But though Submerge sparkles on the surface, Jamie knows that the club, just like himself, hides darker secrets – and even Miles might not be as clean-cut as he appears.

Smashwords Sale: Authors Give Back

Hi everyone,

Silhouette of a highwayman on blue background. Text reads: The Highwayman. Eleanor Musgrove, inspired by Alfred Noyes.

 

I hope you’re all keeping well. It’s a bit mad out there, isn’t it?

While you’re staying in, Smashwords are offering great deals as part of their Authors Give Back sale, and many authors are offering books up for free. This includes my The Highwayman, so if you’ve been considering whether to buy it or not, this is a fabulous chance to get it for nothing. I hope it brings you some comfort.

Talk to you soon!
