The Pride Month Sale Extravaganza!

Pride Month has rolled in once more, and as with every year, I get to celebrate both birthday and queerness all at once. :D

This year has a lot going on, so let’s get cracking on the cool sales!

Personal Itchio Bundles

First of all, I have two personal itchio bundles running for the entire month.

Number 1 is the Complete City of Spires Bundle, where you can get all four Isandor books at a 50% discount. It’s rare for me to touch the price on the two last ones, so don’t miss out! (And don’t forget, you can download the Into the City of Spires short stories to go with it from this newsletter!)

Enter the City of Spires!

Number 2 is a Claudie Starter Pack, which includes early-in-series books and short stories, all at 50%. I do these almost every event now, and it’s a good way to get a look around my catalogue and find the thing just for you!

Included this time are City of Strife, Baker Thief, Awakenings and Flooded Secrets, and Snowstorm & Overgrowth.

Get Your Starter Pack!
Aromantic Pride Bundle

This year there’s also an Aromantic Pride Bundle!! I am so excited about this spotlight on aromantic fiction. It contains a wide variety of genre, identities, and heat level, and it’s rather cool to capture such a range of aro experiences. Huge thanks to Robin Jo Margaret for organizing this!

You can get 23 books for $15, or 36 for $20!Live until June 9!

We’re also donating 8% of it to AUREA, the Aromantic-spectrum Union for Recognition, Education, and Advocacy.

Yesterday we started with a $1000 goal and we’ve already blasted through it! You can help us get to the next goal and hit $2000 <3

Grab the Aro Bundle!
Read With Pride

Finally, I’m featured in Clare Dugmore’s Read With Pride event. The hope is to raise money for Stonewall (the UK charity) and includes a bookish raffle! With trans right under attacks everywhere, it’s more important than ever to support orgs that defend them.

As part of this event, Baker Thief is down to $2.99 on all retailers and I will be donating 10% of my royalties to Stonewall.

Patreon Updates

Finally, let’s take a look at what went on Patreon since the last time! Only two this time:

  • An Early Painted Flock cover reveal [Paid Patrons]

  • The June 2, 2025 Update: Coasting Forward [All Free Members]


And that’s all from me today! Weather is getting very nice, and I’m looking forward to enjoying it.
