Lots of Lesfic - for a great summer (vacation)
This will be my last blog before I'm off for a few weeks. Whether you stay at home to read in your backyard, or have some travel ahead, or hang out at a beach somewhere...there are tons of reads available at great prices, only a click away. Hope you'll have a great time, and I'll meet you at the end of August!
Since I have quite a few links, there's no theme for today other than places to discover your summer read(s), and not just books of mine.
1) My Lesfic: This is a weekly newsletter that brings you sales in lesfic - and unlike other book services, in lesfic only. This week (Friday, July 27th), my book Rise (an urban fantasy about witches, vampires and such who side with human woman in the fight against misogyny) is in it, available for 99cts only for a limited time, but this is an easy convenient way to get sales every week.
2) Jae's Book Bingo: Summer Reads. Summer Wine, #4 in the Calllie & Rebecca series, is part of the Summer Reads giveaway. Plus, you can discover a ton of awesome books set in summer for this particular square.
3) AJ Adaire kindly invited me for a guest blog this week. Don't forget to check out her other guests, and, of course, AJ's books here.
4) From fellow lesfic authors:
Beneath The Surface by Rebecca Langham
Riding The Track by Kara Ripley
Quarterling by Natasja Hellenthal
Anne Hagan's Con Sampler (on sale for July)
5) Not a link, but a glimpse at the schedule for the coming months:
August: The Amnesia Project in audio, narrated by the fab T.J. Richards. It's in production at the moment, and I am in awe of her talent!
September: Thank you for your patience - it's time for Jayce & Emma #5!
October: Cypher, a dystopian thriller
Cover reveals to come later:
December: Killer Instinct, a Christmas thriller
Early 2019: Impressions, Carpenter/Harding #8
Happy Summer! See you soon!
This is not where we are going this summer (but I have lots of imagination!).

Timeless, bold tales.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Timeless which, sadly, was officially canceled not much later. I still think that it's more important than ever to make sure that history isn't forgotten and stories altered as to what is convenient for the power greedy, real life Rittenhouse people - but today, I wanted to talk about another TV show.
Women working for a magazine in NYC, I'll admit it, would not have been my first choice (you know I like the cops, the lawyers, the PIs in the first place). We stumbled across a preview for The Bold Type when watching The Fosters, and we're so glad we did. To our surprise, we liked it right away, and it's only become better since then. This show about three young women is somewhat fluffy on the surface, but packs a punch when it comes to the issues--and they're not afraid to tackle any of the issues: The Me Too movement, white privilege and wealth privilege, women's health issues, coming out, just about everything you wouldn't imagine, but probably should have.
Seeing so many important subjects addressed makes it interesting every single week, but it doesn't have the same gut punch effect that makes me so uncomfortable with The Handmaid's Tale (something we subject ourselves to as well, because, again, good TV and important issues).
If you agree that politics belongs in art (because politics is a part of everything), you might enhjoy it too. And since those subjects are universal, it doesn't make you feel old, even if you're not in your mid-twenties anymore like the main characters.
Lesfic links for the week:
You can now order directly from Queen of Swords Press.
Quarterling, A Young Adult Lesbian Fantasy by Natasja Hellennthal can now be pre-ordered.
