You can find the introduction here,Ā but itās also important to note that The Book of Lionel is the first in a four book series - Knights and Novellas. This includes The Book of Lionel, The Book of Eoin, The Book of Aniela and The Book of Pandara.Ā
Iāve actually never done an introduction for Resembling the Stars. It does, however, have a section on my WIP page. If thereās an interest in me posting an introductory post for RtS, I definitely will. Resembling the Stars is the first in a duology, the second part of which is called Lost in the Universe and it centers around Rafael (the main character of Resembling the Stars)ās boss, Nathaniel Sebastian Harrington. The series in whole is called In the way of Celestial Bodies.Ā
Letters to Emma isnāt a book, but rather a short story, and you can find the introduction here. Itās epistolary and intentionally off-putting, as well as already entirely planned.Ā
The Glory of Hyacinth! Hyacinth Rising is the first book in a five book series (The Glory of Hyacinth), which also has a counterpart duology called The Web of Laceleaf, which serves as a prequel and gives a backstory for the main character Ellieās Aunt Jillian. Hyacinth Rising is an urban fantasy mystery-adventure during which Aunt Jillian is missing, and you can find the official introduction here and the comic sans powerpoint presentation here.Ā
Set in the same universe as Knights and Novellas - a world called Ambipacia - Wild Bones is the lesbian high fantasy revolution story youāve been waiting for. Thereās a mild, tepid introduction post right here, but if thereās hunger for a fleshed out intro, I will certainly provide.Ā
Innocuum: A Series of Snapshots
Realistic fiction that is meant to hurt, you can find the introduction to Innocuum here. Itās from the point of view of Harley Austin, a trans guy with a chip on his shoulder and a past that he doesnāt really talk about. The only other character that features in nearly every chapter is Thomas Sparks, his newfound best friend and confusing love interest.Ā
The Town That Takes EverythingĀ
You can find the official introduction for TTTTE right here, and the comic sans powerpoint presentation right here. Itās an angst garbage fire featuring ghosts, themes of lost youth and the Gays, so itās exactly up my alley.Ā
Thereās Something Out There
One of my two dalliances into the land of science fiction, Thereās Something Out There is an alien discovery roadtrip story that has an introduction right here.Ā
The second of our science fiction picks! An unnamed narrator has been weaving stories for their entire life - but theyāre only just now figuring that out. The children of the cityās poor were turned into power packs for their creativity, and the main character is among them. Theyāve been living stories since they were three years old, nothing real, nothing with anyone outside of their head, but the world is starting to break. The characters are breaking out. The narrator doesnāt know if they want out, though, not when the love of their life is someone that only lives inside their head. There is no introduction for this yet, but there could be if asked for!
Izzy Fahey and the Village of DoorsĀ
A fourteen book series following young Izzy Fahey, this series has it all. It has magical creatures, it has different universes, it has historical fiction, found family, familial love, sibling bonds, romantic love and loss, maturation and growing up. An introduction to this series has not happened thus far, but it can be arranged.Ā
Fundamentals is, at best, complicated. With seven POV characters, itās intentionally confusing, frustrating, and strange. Itās a heist story. TheĀ āmainā character is Barra MacKenna, whose species isnāt revealed until most of his story is told, MikhailoĀ āHailā Rahama, a vampire, Jay Juarez, a werewolf, Saxon Warner, a Shellycoat, Kai Paoa, a witch, Mariana Meridan, a sylph, and JiroĀ Sasaki, a kitsune. No intro has happened for the supernatural heist story, but if yāall want one, sure.Ā
retellings, or the tales that haven't been told
A book of short stories, retellings is a collection of gay versions of all of your favorite stories, and some stories that fit the vibe but are completely original. An orphan falls in love with a werewolf. Cinderella finds herself charmed by a faerie. Rapunzel stays in her tower waiting for the Black Lady of Bradley Woods. The Snow Maiden falls for the Spring Beauty. The Wizard Kingās heart is stolen by a clever peasant.Ā Vasilisa the Beautiful and Baba Yaga keep each other safe.Ā Queen Zurline of Wood Nymphs and her many meetings with the Fae. Jack Frost is courted by the spirit of Summer. If anyone wants a real intro to this, Iāll make one.Ā Ā
Donāt Write The Ending;Ā
An epistolary novel centered around Mina Angliotti, the keyboardist of a small time band in the town of Mount Airy, North Carolina, the letters are penned by Jess Callahan, the drummer for the same band thatās in love with her. When the band was in a car accident and Mina went into a coma, Jess started writing letters to cope. If an intro to this is wanted, Iāll make one.Ā
Harlequin Series: Western AlphabeticalĀ
So, Harlequin is looking for LGBT works. Ya boi can write a western. The first book in the series (which are all unrelated) is called An Ace-High Angelica, in whichĀ one cowgirl with a speckled past and a bit of an attitude problem meets the sheriff's daughter and has to choose between her life and her love. An introduction could be a thing if people want that?Ā
