NOW AVAILABLE: FOOL FOR YOU EDITED BY SAMANTHA M. DERR

Fool for You edited by Samantha M. Derr, an anthology from Less Than Three Press, is now available in the LT3 Book Market and at all major retailers!

Clowns. Pick pockets. Magicians. Jesters. Witches. Demons. Even gods. Tales of Tricksters abound in every culture, sometimes as fools, sometimes as sly schemers too smart for anyone's good. They are often known as shape shifters—and they are always up to something. Sometimes for good, sometimes for evil, sometimes simply to see what happens…

Wagered & Won by Helena Maeve—Nearly caught picking pockets at a casino in Silvergarde, Kathra owes her closest getaway yet to the mysterious Cecily, a bewitching gambler with a lethal secret. Over the course of a single night and a high-stakes card game, Kathra is drawn into a web from which she may not wish to escape. Toils & Tricks by Asta Idonea—Centuries ago, the gods grew tired of being forever on call, and so they hired counterparts to be their representatives. When Sverrir, Loki's representative, is called on to foil a blackmail scheme, he think it will be a simple task... Whiskey & Pixie Dust by L.J. Hamlin—Shane loves and hates his best friend, a mischief demon, in equal measure. But when the demon takes it upon himself to play matchmaker, Shane thinks the hate might just win out. Sussicran: A Love Story by Melissa Snowdon—Eager to escape an otherworldly bet, mirror demon Llednew determines to steal the life of a lonely young man. But executing his brilliant idea proves to be more difficult than anticpated. A Spell for Luck by Daria Defore—When he's forced to spend the summer studying magic at his aunt's house, a bored Tom promptly starts looking for any way to escape. He probably shouldn't resort to making a deal with an extremely friendly demon, but he's too curious to say no... Kneadful Things by Laurin Kelly—When Adam answers an ad for work at a local bakery, he has no idea what he's in for. Despite the storefront's dilapidated condition and isolated location, a steady stream of customers come through hoping to find what they're looking for from Jin, the mysterious owner. How to Trick a Trickster by Ava Kelly—Eric is a trickster working for the Corps of Undercover Passion Instigators and Distributors. His latest assignment takes him to a bookstore where he has to bring together Ivo Newton and Tom Euler. What he's not supposed to do is fall in love with both his targets. The Great Coke Robbery by Kashmira Majumdar—Charlie and Jack used to be the best in the business in the heist business. And then Charlie fell in love and settled down. Ten years later, Jack is debt-ridden and down on his luck, and in walks Charlie, proposing to pull off the most outrageous job of their lives.

Pairings: Contemporary, Fantasy, Steampunk, Urban Fantasy – Bisexual, Gay,     Genderqueer, Lesbian, Pansexual, Poly

LT3 Press Holiday Sale!

My publisher, Less Than Three Press, is having a Holiday Sale until December 31, 2017 in which the entire book market is 20% off! You can also save an additional 15% off preorders of any upcoming releases (I’ve got one of these!)

Check out some of the amazing reads from other fantastic LT3 authors! It’s a great chance to stock up on things to read over the holidays (and hey, books also make great last minute gifts!)

I like to think I’ve got something for everyone, so let me break this down into...

Standalones!

Beauty and Cruelty  ($5.59) - F/F (side M/M and F/F/M), Urban Fantasy Sleeping Beauty decides to save her people, and the Evil Fairy can’t just let her go hog the glory by herself. Fairy tale endings? In this economy?? Enemies to Lovers; includes a lazy cat and polyamorous swan drama. Rainbow Awards 2016 - Winner of Best Lesbian Debut Book & 2nd place Best Lesbian Fantasy Romance Book. (If you want a physical copy you can hold in your hands, the print version is on sale for $11.99!)

The Cybernetic Tea Shop ($2.39) - Asexual F/F, Retrofuture Sci-Fi Drifting, quiet, and calm. A robot running a tea shop meets a wandering mechanic. A novella about love and learning when to let go and what to hold onto. Includes tea #aesthetic, a yelly mechanical bird, and Robot Feels.

Empty Vessels ($5.59) (NEW!) - M/M(/M) Poly, Paranormal/Urban Fantasy A young man that sees monsters, the ghost that keeps him company, and the weird and haunted world of Others that he wants to protect. Possessed dolls, faceless ghosts, bone girls and horned boys, and things that go bump in the night. Friends to Lovers; includes a deer in an antique store, misuse of bus etiquette, and how to develop a better relationship with trauma-based psychic powers. (It’s also got a print version, on sale for $14.39!)

Smoke Signals ($2.03) (PREORDER - Feb Release!) - M/M, Urban Fantasy Mike St. George, CSR for game distribution company SmokeSignals, wasn’t expecting to be put in charge of the account for an aristocratic, self-centered dragon who hoards video games. He definitely didn’t expect to go to the dragon’s house to manually install each game one at a time. But with a possible promotion in his future, Mike's ready to take on anything. The blue-blooded Zali'thurg might be egotistical and prideful, but at least he’s cute, albeit in an 'apex predator' sort of way. (This one won’t be out in time for the holidays, but between the preorder sale and the holiday sale, it’s a great time to pick it up)

The Pandemonium Series

Some kingdoms are ruled by demons, some by humans, and in others, demons and humans coexist. In all cases, there’s a lot that can go wrong. This fantasy series can be read in order or as standalones!

The Cobbler’s Soleless Son ($1.59) - Bi M/Genderqueer, Fantasy A rowdy adult fairy tale adventure following the valiant attempts of Renart, the cobbler’s son, to outwit and trick his way into a Demon Prince’s bed. The game’s afoot!

Behind Bars ($3.99) - Bi M/NB (side M/M), Fantasy Bartender Pel is part of his human-only city’s brutal anti-demon inquisition. His son doesn’t share his opinions. And while Pel just wants to keep his human son safe from demons, when a stranger comes to town, Pel might end up needing a demon to help keep his son safe from humans. Enemies to Lovers with hot dads & demon cats!

Hair to the Throne ($2.39) - F/F, Trans, Fantasy Hairdresser Merle is not expecting a good time when she’s kidnapped to the depths of Demon Prince Vehr’s castle–but to her surprise, her long-lost best friend is also there. So what’s Merle to do except try to make a new life with the prettiest girl she’s ever seen? Problem: demons. Friends to Lovers; includes way too many eyes for one person to justifiably have.

Anthologies and Omnibuses!

Barred Souls ($11.19) - Bi M/Genderqueer, Fantasy A print-only compilation of Books 1 & 2 of the Pandemonium series, The Cobbler’s Soleless Son & Behind Bars! This edition was a Rainbow Awards 2017 Honorable Mention.

Less Than Dead ($4.79) - lgbt+ zombie anthology by various authors & edited by Samantha Derr; my story is Only Human (M/M Urban Fantasy) Saul comes down with a magical malady, which is really depressing until he meets his new doctor’s secretary, Theo—who is super hot, but also super dead. (The print edition is also on sale for $15.19).

To the Victor ($4.79) (NEW!) lgbt+ knights anthology by various authors & edited by Samantha Derr; my story is Debating the Dragon (F/F Fantasy) Lady knight May wants to win love and glory, and be known far and wide for her great deeds. Too bad she has to work three times as hard as her male peers. So she takes on a quest to rescue a princess from a dragon, but the dragon absolutely has other ideas. (The print edition is also on sale for $19.99).

LAST CHANCE TO PREORDER TO THE VICTOR EDITED BY SAMANTHA M. DERR

To the Victor by edited by Samantha M. Derr will only be the special preorder price of $5.09 until 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time tonight November 14, 2017!

In this anthology, knights, lords, ladies, and royalty collide as tournament and quests are faced in the name of love. To Rescue a Princess by Annabeth Leong—All the knights of the realm are invited to compete to win the hand of Princess Cordelia by rescuing her from a dragon, and Sir Elizabeth, the only female knight, demands to be included. Princess Cordelia, however, doesn't want her dragon to be killed and has mixed feelings about being rescued and won. Damsel in Distress by Asta Idonea—When King Wybert holds a joust to choose a suitable husband for the princess, foreign knights journey to the court to compete. Ser Hemming is drawn to one of their number—Ser Estienne. Then the kidnapping of the princess puts loyalties and loves to the test... Wolf Knight by C.C. Bridges—It should be a simple assignment: Renne has only to escort a noblewoman to Castle Graymore for the celebration of fifty years of peace. But the noblewoman is really a princess bound for marriage, and no good can come of a princess and a knight falling in love... Pipsqueak by L.S. Engler—Squeak is used to being thought of as unremarkable. Too small, too slight, too unremarkable. Never enough of anything. He's hoping the Tournament of Champions will give him a chance to prove he's more, not less. Then the princess gets kidnapped. My Brave Knight by Daniela Jeffries—When they meet at a joust, it is love at first sight for Amir, a Moorish knight from Italy, and Miryam, the wealthy daughter of Algerian merchants. But romance doesn't do well when there's a secret, especially if the wrong person learns it... Debating the Dragon by Meredith Katz—Dame Ismay Wexley (May, to her friends) is like any other knight: she wants to win love and glory, and be known far and wide for her great deeds. Too bad she has to work three times as hard as her male peers. It's with this in mind that she decides to take on a great quest: to rescue a princess trapped in a tower and guarded by a fierce dragon... For Queen and Country by Kayla Bain-Vrba—Kyrrin is a knight of the Queen's Guard and has sworn to protect the Queen with his life. When the Queen falls ill from some magical malady, the entire kingdom rallies to her cause, but to no avail. Just when he is about to lose all hope, Kyrrin is given a map to a magical flower that just might save his Queen. Perilous Knights by Charles Payseur—Sir Lamorak might be a knight from an influential family, but ever since he ran away from home with only his younger brother Percy and older squire Ruwena, he's struggled to stay out of trouble. In serious debt to a nefarious knight, all Lam's hopes rest now on winning a major tourney...

In this anthology, knights, lords, ladies, and royalty collide as tournament and quests are faced in the name of love. To Rescue a Princess by Annabeth Leong—All the knights of the realm are invited to compete to win the hand of Princess Cordelia by rescuing her from a dragon, and Sir Elizabeth, the only female knight, demands to be included. Princess Cordelia, however, doesn't want her dragon to be killed and has mixed feelings about being rescued and won. Damsel in Distress by Asta Idonea—When King Wybert holds a joust to choose a suitable husband for the princess, foreign knights journey to the court to compete. Ser Hemming is drawn to one of their number—Ser Estienne. Then the kidnapping of the princess puts loyalties and loves to the test... Wolf Knight by C.C. Bridges—It should be a simple assignment: Renne has only to escort a noblewoman to Castle Graymore for the celebration of fifty years of peace. But the noblewoman is really a princess bound for marriage, and no good can come of a princess and a knight falling in love... Pipsqueak by L.S. Engler—Squeak is used to being thought of as unremarkable. Too small, too slight, too unremarkable. Never enough of anything. He's hoping the Tournament of Champions will give him a chance to prove he's more, not less. Then the princess gets kidnapped. My Brave Knight by Daniela Jeffries—When they meet at a joust, it is love at first sight for Amir, a Moorish knight from Italy, and Miryam, the wealthy daughter of Algerian merchants. But romance doesn't do well when there's a secret, especially if the wrong person learns it... Debating the Dragon by Meredith Katz—Dame Ismay Wexley (May, to her friends) is like any other knight: she wants to win love and glory, and be known far and wide for her great deeds. Too bad she has to work three times as hard as her male peers. It's with this in mind that she decides to take on a great quest: to rescue a princess trapped in a tower and guarded by a fierce dragon... For Queen and Country by Kayla Bain-Vrba—Kyrrin is a knight of the Queen's Guard and has sworn to protect the Queen with his life. When the Queen falls ill from some magical malady, the entire kingdom rallies to her cause, but to no avail. Just when he is about to lose all hope, Kyrrin is given a map to a magical flower that just might save his Queen.
