Every month, we do this cool thing on QueerSciFi.com to support indie writers. We share 4 of their books with our readers for free, and then add those readers (only with permission) to the author lists. It's a great way to get some new reads, "meet" a few up and coming authors, and forge new connections. :)
May's books are below. Grab 'em here (we send them out around the 3rd of next month):
We have gathered 31 incredible indie authors with queer SFF books into a single sale. From January 17 to January 22, all of their books will be on sale at 99¢, but that’s not the best part.
We’ve put together a fun Buzzfeed-style personality quiz to help you find out which of these books’ queer characters you are!
It has always been our hope to not only support each other as indie authors, but extend that to the wider indie queer SFF community, and we’re thrilled to have put together this event!
So keep your eyes peeled on this space and #KrakenFriends , because this promises to be a fun time filled with good queer books.
Rumi's actually the first character I came up with, and the one that changed the most! I'd planned for someone much more happy-go-lucky and pure, but when I got to draft, Horace occupied a lot of that space, and Rumi became the grumbly one 😂
Portrait is by Vanessa Isotton, and is included in the book!
The one and only Embo Extraordinaire, Horace ka-Zestra <3 It has been so lovely writing this sort of heartfelt MC for the series, and e is a big driver of the cozy vibes!
Art is by Vanessa Isotton AND it is in the actual book too! All characters have profiles :3
The ever-wonderful Rosiee Thor wrote me this wonderful blurb for AWAKENINGS !! As a fellow fan of the "Tales of _______ " games, I just knew they'd be right for my little book <3
(also if you haven't read FIRE BECOMES HER, it's a great YA with an ambitious, messy arospec lead and a wonderful QPR!)
Today at QSF it's a special edition of Me Me - Me Me Black Friday. Readers, see what's on sale; Writers, tell us about your best Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals!
Last 48 Hours to my cozy fantasy novella kickstarter!
With loads of board games within, I thought I'd present some of those that served as inspiration behind AWAKENINGS and FLOODED SECRETS, the two first novellas in my upcoming series!
Not every game in the series is a proper board game, though many def are. Later down, we also have a beach episode and an escape room!
:D
