Their Heart a Hive by @foxenlock.bsky.social arrived!
Thank you, Stef, for this book.
I've waited for it for four long years hahaha!
This amazing adventure not only enraptured me but inspired me to write my own debut.
Thanks for the book, the inspiration, the love!
Can't wait to enjoy again.

You're in goddamn luck. I wrote a series of queernorm historical fantasy novels set in a place called the Kingdom of Ura which is analogous to VIctorian/Edwardian England (1800 to 1920) but with magic. Each book is standalone but each MC is a gay or bi man and things get STEAMY. 7 of 8 out in 3 days

Lisa can sometimes be too stubborn for her own good - even her mum knows that. But what does that entail for poor Jonathan?

The Tides That Bind Part One coming March 18th.

I love the #Victorian era. I love #fantasy. I love #queer-positive stories.
And that's how my queer-positive, Victorian fantasy series, The Kingdom of Ura, came about.
Each book is a standalone with a new MC (always a gay or bi male), but connected to the others in the series.

MINE! It's a fantasy series called "The Kingdom of Ura" by Gio Peters on the US Amazon Kindle store, as well as other platforms. Takes place in a world akin to Victorian and Edwardian England. Each book is a standalone novel, with a different MC, but each MC is inherently a gay or bi man.

The Kingdom of Ura (on amazon kindle store US) by ME (Gio Peters)!

It's historical fantasy, set in a place analogous with Victorian England. MCs are all gay/bi men. First one is about vampires, but they're OLD gothic OG vampires - irredeemably evil villains, not bleeding hearts.
