#Arc Reader

[thebibliosphere]

Callout post for @a-kind-of-merry-war and the Mills & Boon marketing team for trying to make me choose between Raff and Penn in Emma/Merry's debut novel, One Night in Hartswood, a queer medieval romance, when my ADHD, bisexual ass has never committed to making a decision in my life, and I'm sure as shit not about to start now because I love them both, your honor.

I love them both so much.

More coherent words to follow when I've actually sat down and processed this because I'm currently in that stage when you've just finished a book, and you don't know what to do with your life anymore.

This was so much fun. Really gorgeous prose. Reads like comfort fanfic even while you're screaming at the pages. I am absolutely going to order myself a hardcover copy from the UK, as us plebians in the US don't seem to be getting one. (Yet.) UK release date Jan 19th, 20223. The US release seems to be in November (according to Amazon, at least). All the pre-order links are up above, along with some more info and tropes, but I'll link them again here.

I am going to lie down. Maybe scream into my pillow for a bit.

Additional image ID under the tags due to length and post accessibility.

Image ID: A series of three images collected into a collage. In the top image, we are shown the purple spine of a book that reads "One Night in Hartswood" by Emma Denny in a sunset gradient of colors.

The bottom images showcase the two sides of the book cover, which is rendered with a watercolor texture background in yellow, orange, and pink, bordered by lilac and dark purple trees with leaves falling to the ground.

This arc copy of the book depicts the main character, Penn, on the back of the book, cast in the same dark purple silhouette as the trees. He is sitting on the ground under a tree, head bowed with one arm resting on his knee. Above his head, the name “Penn” is written in a purple gilded font. Underneath is the hashtag #PennHasMyHeart.

The right side image depicts the front cover where the other main character, Raff, is rendered similarly but with his head uplifted and a dandelion flower blowing away in his fingers. Above him is his name in the same gilded font, and beneath him is the hashtag #RaffHasMyHeart.

We Will Devour The Night (The Essence of the Equinox #2) ARC Request Form

I'm looking for ARC readers for my sequel!

The book releases in 22 September 2024 and I would preferably like you to leave a review before then but it's fine if you leave it after. More details in the form but I won't be sending it out until July at the earliest.

As it is a sequel it's better if you've read the first one but don't let that put you off as I'm happy to offer the first book to you, no hidden costs.

If you have a UK mailing address I am also open to offering a physical ARC in exchange for pretty photographs on your social media account.

If you happen to scroll past this I'd appreciate if you'd at least give it a reblog to widen the sample size. Thanks in advance.

Pre-Release Readers Wanted!!

Greetings dear readers!! I’m looking for ARC readers for my upcoming book, Son of Lightning.

The bonus is, I’m giving you the first two books in the series for free ;)

What is an ARC reader?

ARCS (Advance Reader Copies) are unpublished copies of a book that go out to a select group of readers to read and review before the book launches to the public.

This is a super important step in the successful launch of a book, because it allows authors to gather early reviews and spread the word about their upcoming release!

Son of Lightning is book 3 in the Descendants of Robin Hood trilogy.

In order to review it, you probably want to read the first two in the series first. But, you don’t have to! In the ARC (advance reader copy) application, I’ve included the option to just receive a synopsis of each book.

So, you can choose whether you’d like to download the other books as ebooks, or just download a synopsis!

Click Here for the ARC Application!

But what’s the series about?

Eight hundred years ago, a powerful sorcerer laid a trap for Robin Hood. But the curse backfired, releasing a burst of pure magic. Robin Hood’s descendants carry this magic as elemental powers.

The two nations of descendants are on the brink of war. Jack’s North Wind power is about to manifest when the rival nation attacks. Now Jack is on the run from the Sheriff, sorcerers, and a mysterious girl of the shadows as he struggles to contain his chaotic power.

As the war deepens, a villain out of legend rises to crush any opposition and claim his immortal throne. But the Sorcerer Gisborne’s plans run much deeper than first believed, and Dark sorcery spreads like a plague.

Follow Jack’s adventure along with a swing-first-ask-questions-later Fire bender, a Lightning bender with a dark secret, and a talking baby panther who is maybe more than meets the eye.

In Book 3…

There’s two sides to every story.

Jack’s victory over Sorcerer Gisborne is bittersweet as he struggles with the grief of Nick’s death to the all-consuming Sorcerer. Nick, buried in his own mind, struggles desperately to maintain his identity as he is pushed deeper and deeper under Gisborne’s control.

Determined that no one else will die, Jack sets off to rescue Natanian from the monsters who kidnapped him. But what he discovers will set off a chain of events far worse than he could dream. As the Ealdra weave corruption through the world, Jack faces a choice between saving his nation, and saving his friends.

I don’t have any restrictions on who can ARC read for me. As long as you love fantasy, or you’re willing to take a chance on a young adult elemental fantasy, go for it!

If you’d like to review the book before it launches, it comes out on June 25th, which is 7 weeks away. 

But, it’s important to know that if it takes you a couple weeks after launch, or a couple months after launch, you’re not going to hurt my feelings! I know life happens, so just get to it when you can.

I hope you dive into this adventure with me, and see you over at the sign up form!

Summary for "Maiden of Dawn";

Magic is a gift from the divine... In the sleepy village of Ferne, Maeve, a priestess of Juno, has long since laid her dreams of romance and adventure to rest and has committed herself as her town’s divine healer. She is content to mend broken bones, care for her garden, and hope for her mother’s return. But when King Hagken’s army ambushes her village and demands their service to reclaim his throne, Maeve realizes her responsibilities go beyond the healing arts. Maeve, determined to liberate her people, and emboldened by Juno’s divine power, will stop at nothing to prevent this war before it begins. She forms an unlikely alliance with an expelled alchemist and Hagken’s prior spymaster, Alistair, who shares they have a personal vendetta against the king. In the city of Pyrite, where magic and alchemy thrive, Maeve must navigate the unfamiliar waters of political intrigue, combat forbidden spirit magic, contend with her faith, and discover what it means to reshape her dreams, her destiny—and the destinies of others. But the Gods can be...fickle. 

Maiden of Dawn is a queer, fantasy novel which has a character of divine faith at the centerfold. I wanted to combine my love for dungeons and dragons and my penchant for people-pleasing into an epic, adventurous story that explores a world where queer (and nonbinary/trans folk) can just exist alongside a realm of magic and impossibilities.

The novel will be released on MAY 15, 2024 !!!!

However, if you'd like to get an advanced copy then please feel free to fill out the link and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Commissions!

UPDATED

I posted a bit more about opening up commissions here if anyone’s interested, but this is the main post. 

Commissions are currently OPEN.

FAQs

If I want a commission, how do I get it? 

You can reach out to me via DM and we’ll go from there. Payment’s will be done through Kofi, and will be upfront unless there are specific circumstances.

What information should I send for my commission?

There’s two options. You can send me anything that you’d like to see in the commission, pictures, prompts, gifs, memes, etc. (I typically don’t do fanfic simply because I’m not involved in very many, but there’s no harm in asking.) I’ll clarify anything missing before moving forward to make sure we’re on the same page...

OR

You could just say “surprise me” and I’ll take a look through your blog and write based on what I find. 

The only thing’s I’ll need to know for sure is any triggers or topics you’d like for me to steer clear of, and if you would want it to be NSFWhump or not. (The assumption will be no NSFWhump.)

How much does it cost? 

For each 500 words, it’ll be 5 dollars (or equivalent, I’m not 100 percent on how Ko-Fi does things.) Depending on the content and the total number of words, there might be limits to how long a story can be, but that again will be on a case-by-case basis that I doubt will be needed. Kofi link here. 

When will I get my commission and how?

Depending on the length and content, within 5-10 days maximum. If otherwise, I will let you know before placing the commission. 

I will either send you the commission as a file through DM, or if you’d like for it to be posted and tagged, that’s also an option. 

If you would like a printed and handbound copy, well...let me know. 

What if I want something else?

Editing and ARC reviews are all on a case-by-case basis.

Beta reading is available, timeframe and pricing on a case by case basis.

What if I have other questions?

Feel free to send me a DM or an ask (my anon is always on so no worries) and I’ll update this post as needed. 

Thank y’all to anyone who enjoys the things I post and I’ll still be writing other stuff too, but I wanted to open up for commissions as well.

Fearless (Tracy Lorraine) - MY REVIEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️

26-30 December

Honestly, This book was amazing 🥹

I’ve been in such a bad reading slump recently, And these books always get me out!! Honestly, I really enjoyed and the way Tracy conveys emotion and trauma makes me really happy ❤️ It’s so respectful and thought out, unlike many other authors. Honestly, I definitely reccomend this book series!

I will comment that the spice in this one is more frequent and in depth than the others (It is in no way closed door!!!!!!) But if you don’t mind that then that’s good :)
