You know what, I'm sick of trying to play marketing games on other social media. I'm just going to rant about what I like about my book, because if anyone will appreciate an autistic special interest dump, I hope it'll be tumblr.
so if you like gay books and epic fantasy, read on!
This is Fractured Magic! The cover is by the incredibly talented @littlestpersimmon.
Fractured Magic is a sprawling epic fantasy with a big cast of characters, intricate politics, and a romantic "they were best friends but one thinks the other is dead and when they're finally reunited they're both angry with each other and act like they went through the world's messiest divorce" pairing. the divorcees in question:
before I go on, just know that there's a KICKSTARTER YOU CAN FOLLOW that will include ebooks, paperbacks, and other really fun goodies!
there are ALSO assassins, ghosts, secret identities, descents into madness, and an ancient dragon god who was trapped in a human body and wants revenge about it. to touch on some of these a little further:
-ghosts: are they ghosts? are they zombies? are they simply metaphorical manifestations of the characters' grief? are they real, honest-to-god, send-things-flying-off-shelves ghosts? the answer is yes! all of the above!
-secret identities: if you like those moments reading or watching something where you're like "holy shit, that character was ACTUALLY XYZ THIS WHOLE TIME?!", then you'll like Fractured Magic.
-descents into madness(TM): I mean this in the most gothic sense possible. our hero's in possession of a dark magic that is slowly corrupting him from the inside out. afraid of its power, he pushes everyone away, but he's never dealt well with loneliness.
-ancient dragon gods: this one is pretty much what it says on the tin.
you'll also like fractured magic if you:
-like gothic literature.
-are a big fan of old school fantasy (zelazny, moorcock, weis and hickman) but wish it was more for the gays
-watched this scene from howl's moving castle and had your brain chemistry changed a little:
-or this scene from pride and prejudice:
well, that's all I've got! if you've read this far, thank you. seriously. due to the aforementioned autism, I....have a very hard time with promoting myself on social media. I really want people to like this book because I really like this book, but I get too caught up in tone and then everything just kinda flops.
and, to be honest, I'm really worried about this kickstarter not funding! so here's the link to it again. if you hit the follow button, you'll be notified when the campaign goes live: KICKSTARTER
My book has a Kickstarter you can follow!
Go check it out! (It's my account's birthday today, so you have to do what I say)
