This email is going to be all about Common Bonds 3. We’re so close to it, just two tiny weeks, and a lot has happened around it that I’m excited to share! But I will quickly remind you all of two ongoing things:

1. On May 26, at 7:30 pm (East Coast Time), we have our Being Aro Virtual Launch with Charis Books.

2. Tangled Past released last week! My sweet sweet 8th tiny child. :D

And now, on to the meat of this email: our next Common Bonds anthology.

First, we have had our cover reveal over at LGBTQReads! But fear not, if you’ve missed it, I fully intend to share it here. Like previous CB covers, this is by Laya Rose!

Isn’t it so gorgeous? It (almost) makes me want winter to come back!

We also revealed the full Table of Contents in April, and you can see our list of authors and title on the campaign’s teaser page.

This is also where you should follow the campaign, and you really should. On our end, because you’ll get reminders when it launches and a strong start helps us. On your end, because we’re putting together a cool Behind the Scene zine.

Several of our authors have shared tidbits about their story’s inspirations or the process writing it, and we formatted it into a small printable zine! It’s super cute and fun, but to get it, you must have been a follower on launch when you back to receive it.

Only two weeks left before we launch the campaign. It has some extremely cool add ons, including editorial feedback from the team and bespoke art from one of our talented authors. Those have limited quantities, so you’ll want to be there day one!

The list is a lot shorter this time around, but Patreon continues to update! We had:

• Kaeralgan the Vicious or the Intimacy of Magical Creature Poop [Paid Members; Unlocks to all on May 28]

• May 11, 2026 Update: Tying Up Loose Ends [Free Members]
