Thanks for working so hard on your surveys for the Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before audiobook! There's only about 6 people left who need to fill out their surveys, so I started the process to lock the orders this morning. Once that's done, I'll start the process to charge any remaining amounts needed on credit cards.
Heather is almost finished with her short story, and Mary Robinette is scheduled to start recording the audiobook on May 12th! I'm so excited to hear the final product! We may even get some bloopers from the recording process...stay tuned.
And because I don't have enough to do, I'm gearing up for our next campaign already, which starts May 28th! We've got 8 new queer books coming to you, and I have the list below. We've also got author interviews! The first one, with Carmen Loup, talking about Aliens in New Florida, is up already, and our next one goes live this Wednesday, April 29th. Make sure to watch, then go vote in the poll!
So what do we have for you? Here's the list of books!
Lucianus, by C.J. Beshara - An ancient wizard, reincarnated into a new body, learns how the world has changed since his catastrophic death, and why his new traveling companion is interested in him!
Aliens in New Florida, by Carmen Loup, author of the Audacity Omnibus (and in the same universe) - A road trip across post-apocalyptic Florida with prophesy, an attractive reptilian alien, psychedelics, omniscient aliens (and humans), and a quest for the fabled Kingdom!
Gunmaker, by Chris Gerrib, in the same universe as his previous Space Wizard book One of Our Spaceships is Missing - A murder by gunshot on the indentured mining colony of Eros, a place where guns are not allowed, sparks an investigation into the corruption of the colony owners!
Romance and the Gentle Art of Rocket Racing, by Rena Rocford, author of the recently released Mothball Magic - A rocket-racing rogue must help her secret half-brother, the king of his colony, to woo the woman of his dreams, through silk, intrigue, and fast ships!
Pressure Magic - book 3 of William C. Tracy's Shifting Lands fantasy series. Silluka has survived the invasion of Chimor, but she, her brother Ichu, her girlfriend Cosquella, and Lugopo, the eldritch octopus, find themselves stuck on a strange island with a master craftsman!
Promise of Manifest, by Alex Kingsley - Find out what happens in the conclusion of The Bastion Cycle, in a world of post apocalyptic giant crabs and human scavengers! This is the third book, following Empress of Dust (the 2025 Small Spec Book award winner for Science Fiction) and Relic of Haven!
Queen and Obsidian, by J.S. Fields, a duology of science fiction space opera stories. It begins with Queen, where an intersex woman is trapped on a barely hospitable planet of women, only to learn their meager living area is further threatened. This is followed up by Obsidian, which follows the events of the first book!
