My new book is out! It's 2011, Sage Perrault is in her senior year of high school, and she's going to read all the books and have all the good times with her friends and definitely NOT discover that she's the heroine of a kissing book. mybook.to/CrankyBookworm

I recently discovered that Amazon now lets authors distribute ebooks to libraries and still keep the title in KDP, and now all my m/m books are available in Overdrive and Hoopla (and also various print retailers).

Congratulations! I loved the first two Tales of the Polity and I'm so excited to read this one!

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume.bsky.social

Beside myself with joy about this! Annorlunda Books published THE INCONVENIENT GOD (a novelette) in 2018 and LAGOONFIRE (a novella) in 2021. A FLASH OF SCARLET is a full-fledged novel, and I've been working on it for the past 5 years. So grateful to @wandsci.bsky.social for bringing it out! (1/?)

I'm so thrilled that Annorlunda Books will be bringing this out!

Wandering Scientist @wandsci.bsky.social

Now that we've both signed the contract, I can officially say that Annorlunda Books is coming out of hiatus to publish a new book by @asakiyume.bsky.social It is called A Flash of Scarlet and is the sequel to Lagoonfire (annorlundaenterprises.com/books/lagoon...) and it is wonderful!

10 May

Just watched a documentary about the Twelve Days of Tudor Christmas and now contemplating Tudor Christmas romance, featuring mummers in scary masks, flirting via carols, and obviously sonnets.

10 May

The sequel, Forbidden Christmas Love, takes place during Cromwell's ban on Christmas.

After seeing about 50 people link this book I finally clicked through and discovered it's not just knights, it's ARTHURIAN knights, specially Gaheris/Medraut. You can't bury the lede like this!

Dr Sam Hirst@romgothsam.bsky.social

Out now! This is a really cool little novella. I enjoyed my ARC very much indeed. Knights lost in the woods? Oaths? Weird spider creatures? Marauding death? Evil faeries? A quick break from mortal peril for sex? It's got it all
