Pre-Order Mu and Book Release of Queer Cheer

Happy Wednesday Scribblers, did you have a good Labor Day (if you are here in the US)? Mine and Eric’s was nice, we relaxed, slept in and had a quiet day. Honestly, disconnecting and unwinding was really enjoyable and overdue. I need to do that more often. This week I have two quick announcements. The first is about Mu; Legend of a Lost City (find the book here) and the second is about BAQWA Presents; Queer Cheer (get your copy here). Let’s get to it.

As I teased last week, Mu; Legend of a Lost City will be released on November 11, 2023, and as of today you can pre-order your copy of Mu; Legend of a Lost City now (click here). So, you’ll have the book delivered right to your tablet the moment the book is released. Don’t delay and order your copy now (click here).

Enjoy the blurb:

For years, the whispers and legends of a lost city hiding in the Pacific Ocean were just that; legend. On the day Kaimi discovers his parents, the Queen and King of Mu, murdered, Mu’s most powerful weapon fired, sending a pulse rushing towards the North American west coast.

After the 2025 Great Pacific Pulse Event, or Pulse, vomited up much of humankind’s trash in the Pacific Ocean along the North American west coast. The mysterious occurrence causing the largest environmental disaster in human history, people are no longer certain there is nothing concealed in the depths of the ocean. Scientist Karen Linn and billionaire investor Michael Donovan want to find out what actually happened that day five years ago. Will Michael’s life in the adult entertainment industry and Karen’s moniker in pseudoscience keep them as social pariahs, or are they on the cusp of finding a civilization that has been kept out of our grasp, deep in the world’s largest ocean? How does the event from five years ago tie into the murder of the Queen and King of Mu? What lies under the sea may be bigger than anyone can imagine, and neither civilization may be ready for the truth.

Next up, BAQWA Presents; Queer Cheer is out now (get your copy here). The anthology launched on September 1st, now is your opportunity to pick up your copy and help BAQWA support the Rainbow Community Center in Concord, CA. Remember all proceeds from the sale of Queer Cheer will go to help the center in their good work.

Well, there you go, nice and short this week. I hope you’ll order up your copy of Mu; Legend of a Lost City (pre-order the novel here) and pick up a copy of BAQWA Presents; Queer Cheer (Don’t miss out click here). I’m so proud have worked on both these works and I can’t wait for people to kick up their feet and enjoy. Until next time, have a great week.

BAQWA Presents: Queer Cheer

Happy Wednesday Scribblers, how are you all doing today? Well I hope. Today I’m excited to share that I will be part of another anthology this year; BAQWA Presents: Queer Cheer (you can pre-order the anthology here). This is BAQWA’s (learn more about the Bay Area Queer Writers Association [BAQWA] here) third anthology and all the money we raise from the book sales of Queer Cheer will go to support the Rainbow Community Center in Concord, CA (find them here). This year I contributed a wonderful ‘meet cute’ story called; Thanksgiving Pie.

Here is the blurb for my short story:

When the holidays aren’t what they’re supposed to be. When you’re on your last nerve because your boyfriend recently dumped you and your family lives out of state. What are you supposed to do? Sit home alone and be miserable? That’s exactly what David planned on doing this Thanksgiving. However, he needs to pick up his less than festive meal at the grocery store. While shopping, fate and the universe decide to step-in with a chance encounter placing Fernando and his pumpkin pie right in David’s path. How will this Thanksgiving remind David that events happen around us all the time to be thankful for? Will David be grateful and open to meeting someone new?

And here are the details on the anthology:

The Bay Area Queer Writers Association presents queer cheer in a collection of tales and poems to delight readers this holiday season. Authors K.S. Trenten, Pat Henshaw, R.L.
