I am very happy to announce that STARS AND SOIL is one of the 300 books in this years Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off competition. This competition is hosted every year by Mark Lawrence. Ten teams of judges rank over 300 books and find the best self-published fantasy book of the year.
STARS AND SOIL will be judged by Kristen at The Weatherwax Report.
Only ten of the three hundred books will make it to the next round, so my chances of advancing aren't that great. But I'm still excited!

Sapphic Fantasy Book Recommendation
Smoke and Steel - Dax Murray
Today, I'm recommending one of mine! Why? Because I just gave it a spiffy second edition. Not enough people were picking up on the polyamory of it all, and almost everyone missed that Arishaki is a he/him lesbian. This second edition also increases the rating of the book from two chili peppers to three chili peppers.
I would really like some honest reviews on this one, especially of this new second edition. As a thanks for being a newsletter member, if you want this book for free, all you have to do is sign up on my review website and you will be given a free review copy! You'll get a copy as an epub, mobi, and pdf so you can read this on whatever device you like. Just scroll down and click the button!
Being the youngest of the Sua royals never stopped Saritrah from scheming to take the throne. But violent insurrectionists shattered those plans when they stormed the palace and decimated her family.
In the years since, she has amassed an army and will return to claim her crown. However, Ashur, her one remaining sibling, has done the same, and she must act soon if she's to secure her prize before he snatches it from her claws.
After Ashur razes the Temple of Yshuld, the surviving Seers promise her the power to ensure victory. But it will mean abandoning her legion to venture into the endless desert and locate a lost city.
Soon, however, she suspects that none of the women are who they claim to be, even to each other. One woman cryptically alludes to a paradisical past; another awakens in the night plagued by dreams of a frightening future; the last woman never speaks. But the more she questions her new companions' motives, the more she must question her own.
Is the vision of calamity an omen of what will happen if she fails? Or a promise of what will come if she succeeds?
