Pre-orders? Pre-orders!
Pre-orders are starting to go live!
Holiday tales, retold queerly…
A silk hat turns snow into life and a chance at love for a man with little hope of either. Two men with a connection sparked in passing attempt to withstand everything the tumultuous Toronto of 1981 throws their way, with their only remaining hope being Christmas Eve itself. A much-maligned queen of the snow teaches a young boy how to use his magic to find others of his kind. And a reindeer shines a light of its own, and with the help of the daughter of Father Time, brings gifts—and hope—to all those usually left behind.
Holiday magic connects these tales and more—tales heard and seen and sung before, familiar and joyous, or tender and bittersweet—all to the last told upon the midnight queer.
Upon the Midnight Queer is the second short story collection from Lambda Literary Award finalist ’Nathan Burgoine, and includes the brand new Little Village Holiday Novella, “Folly.”
A while back, I teased the cover for Upon the Midnight Queer—and how could I not, given the brilliance that was Inkspiral’s cover art yet again?—and then things sort of fell silent around here while I did all the things you have to do to make ones and zeroes line up in their correct order inside various boxes all around the planet.
Well, those ones and zeroes have started to line up to the point where it’s starting to be possible to pre-order. So far? You can find it at Smashwords, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and I imagine the other Amazon-dot-you-name-its will populate as time passes. I’m still waiting on Kobo and other websites, but I’ll come back here and edit this post as they go live.
But if you’re an ebook reader who prefers your books via Kindle you are all set to pre-order, and come November 12th, Upon the Midnight Queer will be downloaded and waiting for you!
Didn’t you mention audiobooks and paperbacks?I’ve also begun the process for audiobook, and paperback, yes! Do I have preorder links for those yet? No. No, I do not. But I promise I shall raise the roof about those once they happen, too.
So… about an ARC?I have access to digital ARCs (pdfs and epubs) and I can make that happen, yes. If you’re a reviewer, by all means hit me up here or through my various Social Media places if you’d like to make some noise.
