I say this with love in my heart: Every time an author says "My book doesn't have any comps" I think one of two things: 1) You don't read very much, do you? 2) You haven't done even the most cursory of websearches on your topic.

I guess it’s release day in most of the world, so if you’d like a story about a grumpy highwayman, a prissy aristocrat, and crime for good reasons, have at it!

It felt so fitting to ring in the first day of Pride Month by reading ’ The Queer Principles of Kit Webb, which is basically if “be gay do crimes” was a histrom and quite frankly had me at first “let me teach you how to fistfight” + this incredibly adorable cover

Authors: have taken down this publisher's books and won't listen. They can screw with any indie author's livelihood like this. Best option here: go wide instead of KU. is that what you want to happen?

Elliot smiles weakly, comforted by Adrian's touch and reassurance, "I suppose we can't actually just hide away here the rest of the time..." He pauses, laughing to himself a little, "unless you still want to pretend to be a merchant sitting for a portrait..."

THE REST OF US JUST LIVE HERE x GAME OF THRONES
Everyone knows the hero's story. Elliot isn't a hero. He's just an anxious young noble trying to earn his father's favor when his life is upended by the hero's tale.

Ingrid wants quiet down the Jersey Shore in the off-season, but her grandmother's ghost wants to play meddlesome matchmaker with two possible Norse Gods instead. Too bad the wrong choice could cost her the connection with her grandmother forever.

Shane has given up on ‘having it all’. A string of bad relationships has convinced him a woman who can accept him as he is—bi-sexual, poly, & committed to his boyfriend—doesn’t exist. But what if she does? Is he brave enough to risk his heart? #A #CR #nuclear #LGBTQIA #KissPitch

He's an earl, respectable in the eyes of society, but he leads a secret life as a spy.
She's an infamous pickpocket, hardened from a life in the slums.
