Today's queer small press release: Evelynn Carver's MM fantasy romance Moonlight and the Monarch

Jacek Piekiełko
Ciemne siły
════════════════════
Mała wieś w odległej Rosji. Grupa archeologów z Polski prowadzi wykopaliska. Na wzgórzu nieopodal lasu dokonują odkrycia, które wywróci do góry nogami nie tylko współczesną naukę, ale również historię. Jeśli tylko sami uwierzą w coś, co wydaje się być jak wygrana na loterii. Coś co przyniesie im sławę lub zabierze ich dusze na zawsze do piekieł.

W tym samym czasie w Warszawie, komisarz Starski prowadzi nietypowe śledztwo. Okazuje się, że ktoś brutalnie okalecza kobiety, celowo je oszpecając. Kto i dlaczego to robi? Czy ta sprawa łączy się z wydarzeniami z Rosji?

I'm very pleased with the cover for the latest installment of my noir urban fantasy series, The Demons of Montmartre (the series starts with The Demons of Wall Street.)

The book will be out in September from Mirror World, and up at all the usual online bookstores.

Terry Pratchett hat-tips Feynman, calling the ineffective spells cast by magicians on Earth, where magic doesn't work, "cargo-cult magic". Hehe.

Today's queer indie author review! Queer Windows V1: Spring by Cay Fletcher:

"The writing is stellar, with a sweet, romantic, almost nostalgic feel. Fletcher captures the sensation you get during a damp twilight in the woods, somehow both mysterious and magical... a great introduction to Fletcher's writing."

Crow's Fate by Kim Fielding:

"This is a horror story, and a love story, and would translate beautifully to the screen with the right cast... it's the evolving personalities of Crow and Simeon that drive the book emotionally. 5 stars."

Today's queer indie author review! Fate in Suspension by Archer Kay Leah

"The book ends with a substantial and satisfying finish.. The fact that I want to know more about both Tai and Gates is testimony to the interest I had in their characters. 4 stars."

yuki2501,

Unicorns existed but their horses grew smaller and smaller thanks to human poachers, who would only hunt the unicorns with larger horns. Eventually their horns disappeared altogether and they mingled with normal horses.

To add to your disappointment, only the males had horns.
