Guess what’s available now?
The pre-order link for the actual properly published version of Sundown, Holiday, Beacon, that’s what!
Would you all like some happy established-relationship M/M/M superheroes in love? Specifically, one supersoldier (who’s already lost a former partner), one former sidekick (who’s cranky about the sidekick part), and one redeemed supervillain (who’s been undercover, so the world still thinks he’s a villain)…
Also contains roughly 15,500 words of lasagna, bookshelves, superhero theatrics, terrible puns, a thunderstorm, and *very* enjoyable uses of superpowers for mildly kinky comfort sex!

I am super (heh) excited about this one - you all know how much I love these boys. And this story has been through a few iterations. In fact, let me explain…
There’s the version on AO3, which was my original draft (and which I’ll likely be taking down in early September, pre-publication, just FYI, if you want to save that one).
Then there’s the version in the Less Than Three Press anthology Happiness in Numbers, which had a significant number of changes: some that absolutely were for the better, establishing some world-building earlier, clarifying ages and timelines, etc - but also some that I was a bit sad about (the whole delicious m/m/m superpowered sex scene had to be cut to fit the anthology’s overall rating, for one). And then LT3 went out of business. (Hence the lack of link to this version.)
But!
My other publisher, JMS Books, will now be publishing Sundown (and the sequel)! And THIS version is what you can think of as the Author’s Preferred Version - I put my sex scene back (yay!) and did some more polishing around it, but I also kept some of the changes we’d made in the LT3 version, especially in the early establishing bits and scene breaks.
So this one’s the version I’m absolutely most happy with - if you buy one, buy this one! Neither of the others is exactly the same as this one, after all! And this one’s the Final Proper Preferred Version! Plus you get lovely cover art! *throws confetti*
