As promised, I'm now doing a year-long backlist sale of my books from three collections: Curiosities, Arcana Europa, and Miscellaneous Books. Two e-books each month will be on sale for 50% off, and that's on all sales channels. If you buy from Kobo, Smashwords, B&N, Amazon, etc., it doesn't matter. The books will be on sale for the entire month.
And we're starting off with two books from my backlist of republished gay YA and New Adult stuff:
The moment Emil Gogean sets foot inside Wollstone Academy's fairy tale-like campus, he realizes his freshman year in high school is bound to be a very strange one. The school itself, a uniquely romanticized boarding school for boys, boasts remarkable elements that appear to be deliberate -- as though a hidden power has chosen woodland details, a chapel ruin, and school masters who seem to hearken back to a long-gone age, with a clear purpose in mind.and The Winter Garden and Other Stories
When strange things begin to happen to Emil, an unnerving warning from his late grandmother returns to haunt him. A warning about Emil attracting the attention of the king of the dead.
Strange faces in wood patterns and mullioned windows. The apparition of a boy among the trees. The unfathomable feeling of sadness permeating the idyllic environment. Emil gradually learns that Wollstone is more than just a school, that the answers to a three-hundred-year-old mystery surrounding a tragic romance lie in the ruined stones of a small chapel and in Nature itself. And that Emil, whose appearance in school has set certain wheels in motion, will have to place himself at the mercy of three mysterious students if he wishes to learn the truth about Wollstone, the boy lost in the woods, and himself.
Strange music from a legendary haunted glade can only be heard by a special boy. A grieving young man turns to the dark arts to bring his deceased lover back. A soiled and tired knight protects the innocent from the threat of a dragon. Young love blooms in a desolate garden.
Familiar and original fairy tales, myths, and legends explore the complexities in a gay teen's coming-of-age through allegory and metaphor. Rain-drenched circuses, old wives' tales involving candles in windows, water-irises deep in a wood, lonely fairy kings, and magical Christmas parties. These stories not only present valuable lessons, but also provide an escape into worlds in which a gay teen can see himself as the center of adventure, romance, horror, tragedy, and triumph.
Contains the following stories: "Clouds' Illusions", "Erl-King", "Out of the Depths", "The Bridge", "The Dollhouse", "The Haunted Glade", "The Knight", "The Water-Irises", and "The Winter Garden".
Both books are regularly priced at $2.99, but all this month they're at $1.49. Just click the links to go to their respective book pages, and from there you can find out where you can get a copy. And as I've mentioned before, I'll be taking advantage of these sales to post about the books throughout the month (but not every day, mind you -- it's more like an occasional posting).
So yeah! If you're curious about the books, now's a good time to get a copy. And if you do, thanks so much for your support!
