a sale and a reminder

a SALE: This weekend — Saturday, August 23, to Monday, August 25th — you can get book #2 of Goblins & Cheese, Priest-Queen, for $0.99 on all platforms, including Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and my website, as part of the Narratess Indie sale.

in which Bean and Turnip the cows are Very Helpful.

Priest-Queen follows Elsyn, new queen who did not ever expect to queen, and furthermore had been given to the temple as a novice as a child and therefore not at all trained to be queen. The goblin kingdom in the mountains-just-to-the-left sends an ambassadorial party led by Kandar, the goblin prince, who promptly falls in love with Elsyn and accepts her charge to go fetch her childhood best friend Ben from exile. This turns slightly more complicated when Kandar discovers Ben is 1. in hiding in a secret goblin village 2. super great. SHENANIGANS ENSUE.

The sale features hundreds of other fantastical queer books! Enjoy!


a REMINDER: my queer book giveaway this month is for Felicia Davin’s The Scandalous Letters of V & J, an incredibly inventive and inventively queer epistolary romance about two magicworkers in 1820s Paris thwarting an ancient evildoer. (Aside: Victor is one of the most delightfully witty characters I’ve ever encountered.) You can fill out the google form to enter here for one of three paperback copies.

(You can then purchase the second book in the series, The Mischievous Letters of the Marquise de Q, in the Narratess books sale above! It is just as much of a delight as the first book.)


Happy reading!

Best,

Sharon
