Today's queer small press review! Apprentice's Luck" by K.L. Noone:
"A gentle tale about a young magician coming into his power, and finding love along the way. Throw in a little court intrigue and a plot to overthrow a good ruler, and it's quite an enjoyable read."
According to the latest review for A Bit of Murder Between Friends, pink-haired crusty punk lesbian grannies are an overused cliché now. And the existence of trans people is 'too preachy'.
Shrug.
Anyways, if you might want to read a book about a clichéd character and her too-preachy friend, check out A Bit of Murder Between Friends by Elliott Hay (aka me).

One reviewer on Goodreads wrote, "It's one of those books that has you actually holding your breath at least once. There were phrases that I had to speak aloud because they were so gorgeous I wanted to feel the weight and shape of them for myself."
@queerscifi@lgbtqbookstodon I recently dropped book 3 in my queer supernatural superspy series and have been struggling to make headway on 4 (which should largely conclude things, though I have plans for a fun time-skip in 5), some encouragement would go a long way!
