luninosity...but, er, I probably ought to do that! Especially since the first one's out in three days, on the 9th! (And for some mysterious reason I can't find it on my Amazon author page yet, though it IS up on JMS Books for pre-order, for 20% off!)
So...
First up, this Sunday - the 9th! - we get "The Featherbed Puzzle," which is roughly 47,000 words of pure weightless confectionery fluff, honestly! - but I needed that, so perhaps other people do as well? It's an m/m rom-com retelling of "The Prince(ss) and the Pea," set in a sort of vaguely alternate-history 18th century (there're artificers and self-warming serving dishes and such, but no real ~magic~), and it's got, oh, a dark & stormy night, and far too many prospective suitors to juggle, and breakfast pastries, and accidental falling in love over a jigsaw puzzle, and definitely too many featherbeds, and of course a fairytale happy ending.
Also this one has one of my favorite covers ever, for one of my stories. I love it - it matches the mood and the theme so effortlessly.
Grab it at JMS Books here!
Next, "October by Candlelight," my autumn-themed story, will be out from JMS October 20! Also currently on pre-order sale at JMS for 20% off! This one's just under 12,000 words (literally - it had to be <12k, and mine's...11,988 words...not counting the author's note... *laughs*)
"October by Candlelight" might've ended up somewhere among my favorite things I've written, honestly - it just flowed so well, and I knew Wes and Finn as soon as I started writing them, and I knew what the next scenes were, and before I knew it I'd written so many words... Anyway, it's essentially a soft candlelit "we've only just moved in together and we're working things out" domestic story, low angst, maybe a bit of emotional hurt/comfort, but not even really much hurt, just something they need to talk about, and it's full of candles and autumn decorations and tidbits about medieval history research and tender romantic sex scenes and a whole lot of love and wanting the other person to be happy.
Also in my head this story exists in the Character Bleed universe, though it doesn't explicitly tie in anywhere. But Wes and Finn have absolutely gone on a date to see Jason and Colby in Steadfast, and Jason and Colby would probably recognize Finn's name, less from the teen idol days and more from the more recent character work and indie films, though they've never worked together, for reasons of timing of their careers, mostly. I like to think they'd all get along.
Find all the candlelight at JMS Books here!
Finally, a book rec! I finished Lee Welch's Seducing the Sorcerer a few days ago, and I ADORE this book. It's a delight - m/m high fantasy romance, sparkling and heartfelt, by turns atmospheric and funny and sexy (oh yes) and emotional and clever and intricate and kind, and I want a worple horse now (go read it, it'll make sense). You absolutely need this book in your life. In fact I'll probably go read it again very soon, just to bask happily there.
