Cover of The Gerzean Blade by Scarlet Mitchell. An enlarged stone knife stands in the middle of a road like a monolith. On the sunny left side of the image, a woman leans against a car with a map in her hand beside a grassy plain. She gazes thoughtfully across the knife to the dusky sunset right side of the image, where the St. Louis skyline glitters on the horizon

If you like quick reads, dynamic characters, and epic sci-fi sports combat a la "Rocky" meets "Sword Art Online", look no further than "King of Blades".

Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop, and more via Books2Read:

#PretendPanel Sept 26th

Goodbye, September! Earlier this month, I finally debuted the print version of my YA fantasy novel THE GODS OF ATALANTIS (part 1). Buy it here! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I'm so proud of this stupid thing, I still can't believe it exists. Now... to finish parts 2 and 3! 😅

Cover of THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, designed by me. The bottom half shows a girl with long flowing hair sleeping in a fetal position, wrapped up in flowing cloths; she is painted in shades of light to dark blue, and her flowing hair and cloths are reminiscent of ocean waves. At the top, upside down, a boy with curly hair and a tattoo on his arm is also sleeping in a fetal position, wrapped up in cloths; he is painted in golds and reds, like the sun. The two of them mirror each other almost like yin & yang, with the title written between them in shining reddish-gold letters. A reddish-gold border frames the cover, and each corner features a small symbol: a marigold flower, a phoenix, an orange & blue striped fish, and a wolf. Along the left and right sides of the border, pale bluish-white crystals are growing. Along the bottom the author's name EMILY KLOTZ is written in the same reddish-gold letters.

This was a fun theme, #PretendPanel! Looking forward to next month!

QUESTION:
Do you find yourself feeling a bit anxious as you approach the 1st major plot point? The inciting incident?

I am releasing my debut novel next month and looking for ARC readers. I want to thank all the writer friends sharing my posts to help me promote/get arc readers. ❤️ 📚 (That means you Kara!)

You can sign up to read at the link below:

A three by three grid advertising the wip book Thief of Death by author Samantha Breaux. The top row of squares from left to right shows the title in bold print on a turquoise background, a monochromatic map of the city, and a digital sketch of the female main character. The woman has tan skin, a long brown braid, and a slightly mischievous expression. The center row shows from left to right the male main character, a quote from the book, and a black and white photo of an angel statue. The male main character is pale with shoulder length, wavy dark hair and a concerned expression. The bottom row shows from left to right a photo of a graveyard, a digital sketch of a skull with turquoise flames surrounding its head and turquoise pinpricks for eyes, and a photo of several old books and manuscripts. Character art and map drawn by the author.

#Dogwood1 is coming out in November and I'll have preorder links up on Tuesday!

Also I do have two other books. It's been a very sluggish summer of sales, and they're such good stories I really ought to do better by them and try to market. #PretendPanel

www.amazon.com/stores/Aud-C...

Wings in the Valley is a high fantasy in which two fauns and a harpy must save their homeland from a dragon. It features a non-human, polyamory, low heat, enemies-to-parents romance, and cover art by Arden Powell. (The cover is the silhouettes of 2 fauns and a harpy against ancient ruins, flamed by squash vines and grapevines, with the shadow of a dragon behind the title.) The Consort and I is a m/m court romance with a slash of treason! (And some explicit sex scenes.) The cover is by The Author Buddy.

#PretendPanel if reading an Old Beast Yaoi retelling is something up your alley, I think you might like my take on it?? 👉👈
11k threadfic (and still going!!) ❤️‍🔥
Full of gay tension, yearning, and old men grappling with loneliness and finding love in each other 🏳️‍🌈

Screenshot of the start of the threadfic referenced in the post. The text: Beauty and the Beast except the "beauty" is the widowed merchant and the beast is a hopeless romantic cursed for the crime of falling in love with the wrong kind of person.

I haven't read it yet, but the premise for @woodenvelt.bsky.social 's novel Thief of Death sounds fab! Looking forward to reviewing!

Dido on the Edge arrives October 24th! Are you up for some queer fantasy romance about a closeted trans girl trying to figure out who she is while also saving the world? If so, check out info on the launch event here and stay tuned for updates: events.humanitix.com/dido-on-the-...
#pretendpanel

Dido Dahl, our protagonist, sits at a table fidgeting. Dido Dahl is a lonely, closeted trans girl who’s not sure she wants to stick around in this world any longer. So, it’s not exactly unwelcome when she’s pulled into another one altogether. Plunged into the strange and dangerous land of Edgewise, Dido is made a promise: if she reaches the end of this story, she’ll have every one of her deepest, unspoken wishes granted. All she needs to do is stay alive, and fortunately she’s got some help in that department. A crack military team led by Wendy Darling and Dorothy Gale, both veterans of the worlds of fiction, are here to get her across the Edge and to the person she’s always dreamed of being. But her new friends aren’t the heroes they once were. Wendy, stuck in her early 20s for a century after an overdose of fairy dust, is falling apart and Dorothy, now simply calling herself “Dee”, is hiding something terrible. To get through the ending, Dido's not just going to have to save herself, but them as well. Before the black rainbow lurking on the horizon takes them all…

As of this month, I'm on AO3! Redrafting and reuploading some old shorts, once a week. Learning my way around! You won't find anything new, but I'm enjoying figuring out this new space!
