Happy release day to me! By which I mean I have a surprise SECOND story out today (surprised me too! I don't do the scheduling over at the RoMMantic Reads 'zine) - so you get two shiny things!

First up, the big one!
Apprentice's Luck is out now! *throws confetti* And currently #212 in Amazon's *overall* LGBTQ Fantasy category - not just Romance! It's got...
 
~one apprentice magician with troublesome luck
~one honorable guardsman with a problem
~m/m high fantasy romance!
~a stand-alone story, but in the same universe as Magician and The Twelfth Enchantment!
~the plot I have described to people as, "tea and magic and sexy forearms and jokes about opera! plus a palace conspiracy!"

Buy it at JMS Books here (where it is on sale)!
Or at Amazon here!

Second, I wrote a little epilogue scene for "In Lines of Light" - my m/m romance sci-fi first meeting on an observation deck short story (at Amazon here!) - and you can find that bonus scene for free over at the RoMMantic Reads Zine now! A nightmare, and some comfort. Also a bit of me rambling about one of my favorite poems (which I've quoted for the title)!

One more post today, because it's release day for the Ink anthology! So much fabulous LGBTQIA flash fiction - fantasy, sci-fi, speculative fiction, and romance short stories! All 300 words or fewer, all themed around the idea of “ink”! Mine, "Openings," is about a bibliomancer and a librarian and a spell...

Signal boost for a friend - if you hung out with us at the Rainbow Space Magic Virtual Convention, or if you’ve ever used the Queer Sci Fi or QueeRomance Ink groups, Scott (and his husband Mark) are the masterminds behind those! And Scott’s a lovely person who does a lot to support and promote LGBTQIA+ fantasy, sci fi, and romance.

So here’s the cover (below) for his newest novel (he asked if people would share) and here's the Amazon link! (Free on KU if you have that.)

He says it has “bisexual, gay, and transgender (FTM) characters, body modifications, generation ships, interstellar travel, a redemption arc, sentient AI, and hope,” so if those sound like things you or people you know might like, check it out, and feel free to share! <3

Just a quick reminder - the Rainbow Space Magic Virtual Convention starts tomorrow! And I'll be doing an author reading, and also on a panel about outlaws! And it's free!

Some more details: the Rainbow Space Magic Virtual Convention is designed for LGBTQIA+ sci-fi & fantasy creators and fans - here's the description from their website:

"...an online LGBTQ+ science fiction and fantasy convention designed to help fill the terrible empty place of canceled in-person conventions during the current crisis as well as offering an SFF convention to those readers and writers in the queer community who struggle to travel or attend physical conventions. Free to participants and convention-goers, RSM seeks to bring like-minded people together, providing LGBTQ+ readings and panels from a safe social distance."

Here's my schedule:

1) Outlaws & Adversaries Panel Discussion, Sunday June 21, 1:00pm-2:00pm EDT (or 10-11am if you're in California like me): Angel Martinez, Kim Fielding, K.L. Noone, Vance Bastien
2) Author Reading Panel, Sunday June 21, 7:00-8:00pm EDT (or 4-5pm if you're in California like me): Chloe Spencer, K.L. Noone, Kellie Doherty

Come join us and hang out with a group of LGBTQIA+ sci-fi and fantasy fans and authors! Again, totally free, but they will ask you to register to receive the web links for the panels and such! Here's the home page link, here's the registration link, and here's the Facebook event link!

Feel free to share and invite people!

So the Rainbow Space Magic Virtual Convention is happening in two weeks! June 20-21! And I'll be doing an author reading, and also on a panel about outlaws! And it's free!

Free to participants and convention-goers, RSM seeks to bring like-minded people together, providing LGBTQ+ readings and panels from a safe social distance."

It's in part being run by a lovely author friend (and mastermind of the Queer SF website) J. Scott Coatsworth, and so when they were putting it together, I got asked if I wanted to join in! So...here's my schedule:

1) Outlaws & Adversaries Panel Discussion, Sunday June 21, 1:00pm-2:00pm EDT (or 10-11am if you're in California like me): Angel Martinez, Kim Fielding, K.L. Noone, Vance Bastien

Feel free to share and invite people! We're hoping for an awesome (fantastic?) turnout! (You'll notice some other awesome people involved...Scott, as I mentioned, but also [personal profile] kellyscams will be doing a reading and also on a panel, and Antonia Aquilante, and more!)

I haven't quite decided what I'm reading yet - might be the opening of Cadence and the Pearl, or maybe something new...or both - whatever I can manage in 15 minutes! We shall see...

And one more small piece of news: yesterday I signed a contract with JMS Books for a flash fiction lesbian high fantasy erotica short!
It's called "Honey Witch" and it'll probably be out in August, priced at 99 cents (or 79 cents for pre-orders)! It's about, well - an earth-witch who specializes in divination with honey, and desires, and a princess with a question, in need of some...help...

And I hope you'll like it!

First, the big exciting one!

Look what’s out tomorrow!!

Of Starlit Balls and Starship Captains by [K.L. Noone]

It’s my first-ever SF romance (as opposed to fantasy/paranormal) short story! And it’s m/f, with bisexual main characters!

It’s the story I’ve described to people as…basically a Regency-debutante-meets-dashing-captain romance BUT IN SPACE.

And also the captain is a woman. And the person coming of age is the Emperor. And also jelly candies are important.

(In my head, by the way, there’s a subtitle, which is: “How Starship Captain Catherine Everington Became Empress of the Galaxy,” which about sums it up!)

It’s around 7k, and it’s on sale at JMS Books LLC for only $1.59, or at Amazon for $1.99!

And it’s currently at #221 in the overall LGBT Science Fiction category on Amazon! Which is pretty cool for my first-ever proper sci-fi story! (Think we can get it to go any higher…?)

Buy at Amazon here! Or at JMS Books here!



Second, the pre-order link is also up for my next super-short m/m romance - release date May 30!

A Penny for Your Thoughts by [K.L. Noone]

This one’s part of the JMS Books Hot Flash collection, all under 5k words and always priced at 99 cents or less - right now it’s on pre-order sale at JMS for only 79 cents! 99 cents at Amazon. :-)

Contains:

~a comfortable sort of domestic high fantasy setting

~a clockwork-magic kitten

~love confessions!

~one very cheerful newly-appointed local magician

~one big bashful artifact hunter who keeps bringing said magician all the cursed items to defuse, trying to make the kingdom safer

~a LOT of mutual pining

~one confession-spell magic coin…

Pre-order at Amazon here! Or at JMS Books here!

(Side note: if this reminds you of one of my tiny little Evanstan ficlets, it is! But rewritten and expanded and with all-new characters etc!)

Yay for publishing-of-things! I am excited!
