Numbers Updates - three months and one week out
Traditional publishing didn't get Queering Him to where it is - y'all have.
100 ratings, 80+ written reviews (GR and NetGalley), 500+ ARC requests, and 5000+ GoodReads giveaway requests THREE FULL MONTHS AWAY from book release? I cannot thank you angels enough. You are helping put my scrappy little self-pub debut on the map. You are helping me carve space for literary fiction that is also deeply explicit and erotic, AND LGBTQIA+ romance that takes itself seriously as a grappling space. You are holding many difficult questions: when does perceiving oneself as a "queer elder" lead to unethical behavior? When are queer characters allowed to behave badly? When they behave badly, how do we allow them to grow? What does atonement look like? Is atonement possible?
For this cognitive/literary flexibility, and for so much more, I am grateful.
You can still request an ARC on NetGalley in return for an honest review across platforms (we work on the honor system over here)! There will be future giveaways, even of signed copies! There will be a book tour! TWO book tours (US and Europe, so far). And thank goodness for that - because I want to meet you all!
Many thanks from the very *depths of my soul* to everyone who has given Avra and Kieran a chance. I cannot express what it means to me that you've allowed this very bisexual narrative to impact you, however it has.
