One of my favorites from an excellent collection. Read this poem, and then go get a copy of MEXICANS ON THE MOON. It’s good stuff.

Aster's books are amazing: all over the map, wild and original, there's no one else writing romance like hers. I like Briarley best, but you should go pick yourself something.

It is my BIRTHDAY and all my books are ON SALE (please see descriptions in the thread below) so please go forth and buy!

Ooooh, check out this excellent sale!

Hear ye, hear ye! The annual Aster Glenn Gray birthday sale has begun! My birthday is not until July 2nd, and the books will remain on sale through July 4th. Which books, you ask? This year I was feeling indecisive, so it's ALL of my books. I plan to raise prices after the sale, so buy now!

Every year I do a birthday sale, but this year I was struggling to decide which books to put on sale. So... they are all going on sale! (Except the two short stories because they are literally at the lowest price Amazon will allow.)

i am a horribly picky and judgemental reader, it's not enough if the characters are gay the book also has to be good, im sorry

My birthday is approaching! I will need to decide which books to put into my annual birthday sale.

It occurs to me that I should also post links to the books that currently ARE available on Draft2Digital. (These are both ebook and paperback, by the way.)

Posted the previous thread too early. More links to my books whose paperback prices will soon rise on Amazon to match their Draft2Digital prices.

It has come to my attention that it is possible to keep books in KDP but also sell paperbacks on non-Amazon venues through Draft2Digital, so within the relatively near future I intend to publish my m/m and m/m/f paperbacks through Draft2Digital.

In a mood to write short stories, so if anyone has links to anthologies calling for submissions, send them my way!

Tumblr just congratulated on me on the 10th birthday of my Tumblr and I feel ancient.

I read 288 books in 2024, reply with a number and I'll tell you about the corresponding book!

Submissions for our queer sword and sorcery anthology are open until January 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words. Very keen on tyrant-killing, intimate stakes, unknowable magic, tiny loincloths, sweaty muscles, big thighs. Good to avoid: epic fantasy tropes. More info: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

What I hate about "Lore"-based fandom is that it's almost at odds with enjoying the stories. What's the power scale? What's the magic system? What's the backstory of the one watch captain we saw in one paragraph? A sense of background can lend depth, but at the end of the day, the wiki kills story.

Well now I want dark academia state university

This was a DELIGHTFUL little holiday treat!

Just finished this - so, so good. It’s 45 minutes of poignant delight. I adore stories of…. ok well I won’t say, but I adore the dynamic between this couple.

mybook.to/NAAVABC My new short book is live! After twenty years of playing cat and mouse (in bed and out), a Soviet and an American agent meet at a Christmas party in a snowbound French chateau in 1991.

It's been a long road, but after 12 years I think I'm FINALLY going to publish Diary of a Cranky Bookworm in October.

As per usual on my birthday I am having a little birthday sale! This year, two of my books are on sale. First, Honeytrap, the m/m American/Soviet spy romance. Come for the spyjinks, stay for Daniel and Gennady arguing about the meaning of love and poetry. mybook.to/Honeytrap

Happy birthday to me!

A day late and a dollar short, but here's a link to my Honeytrap Christmas special over on Patreon. In the spirit of Christmas, this is free to the public! Go get your Snegurochka fix!

Important life update: at long last I am reading Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White.

Hello world! I am now on Bluesky.
