It's Leeds Pride this Sunday!
Good evening!
Happy Pride for everybody else in and around Leeds, and if you’re around on Sunday, I might well see you in the evening!
To celebrate Leeds Pride, I’m running a promotional sale on Smashwords - all my eBooks are 75% off!
If you’ve read my most recent release, Powder and Feathers, please do review it on your favourite review site, especially GoodReads and TheStoryGraph, if you have the time, reviews and word of mouth go a long way to help with a new release like this one.
And another announcement - if erotic horror is your flavour, I’m involved in an erotic horror choose-your-own-ending project that’s currently raising funds on Kickstarter!
SLAKE HOUSE is going to be deliciously fucked up with me and 9 other authors, and 10 artists, with us paired up to write different rooms in an enticing - and terrifying - haunted house.
There are a whole bunch of rewards as part of the Kickstarter sign-ups at the different tiers, including different pieces of fiction and art for all of us contributors, but pledging at the lowest tier will get you a PDF and eBook copy of the book once it’s finished.
And finally, it’s very nearly time for WorldCon!
I’ll be at WorldCon 2024 for the whole four days in Glasgow, I’ll be on some panels as well as presenting a talk about uniforms and costume design in Star Trek. I’m super excited about the event, and while we won’t be selling paperbacks or badges at this one - hopefully we’ll have a stall at BristolCon in October - I’ll be happy to answer questions or sign anything if people are attending and would like. More than that, though, feel free to just say hello and have a chat!
And if you’re a Redditor, next month I also have another AMA scheduled with /r/Fantasy, and I’ll be answering questions there as well!
