SELECTED REVIEWS

Of the Emperor’s Kindness by Chaz Brenchley

"I will read anything Chaz Brenchley writes. His prose is melted butter with tarragon, and his characters and worldbuilding equally delicious. Open this book to any page, and you will find something to delight you."

– Ellen Kushner

Yoke of Stars by R. B. Lemberg

"For fellow word-nerds, Lemberg's linguistic explorations are a thought-provoking journey into how language influences all of us. Lemberg's command of language and narrative nuance makes this a haunting, beautiful read."

– Marian Crane, author of the Lonhra Sequence

Worldburner by J. Warren

"...There are secrets, lies, betrayals and surprises – Warren knows how to keep readers in suspense with nearly nonstop action of what one man can do another. It isn't pretty. Five stars."

Blood Moon by Catherine Lundoff

"The lupine ladies of Wolf's Point return in a tense and satisfying sequel to Silver Moon!"

– Author C.M. Harris

Silver Moon by Catherine Lundoff

"Menopausal lesbian werewolves? Seriously? You bet. Nothing serves to re-energize a tired genre than a swift kick up the ass, which is what two-time Goldie winner Catherine Lundoff delivers to lycanthropes in Silver Moon, a nifty page turner that empowers as well as entertains."

– Jerry Wheeler, Out in Print

Running Dry by M. Christian

"I highly recommend Running Dry – the excitement never stops, and its vampires are anything but stereotypical. It's the first time I have read something by M. Christian, and it left me wanting more. Outstanding."

– Queer Sci-Fi Reviews – Maryann

Finding Echoes by Foz Meadows

"The intricate world, grime, skullduggery, and thieves' cant of The Lies of Locke Lamora made newly intense and deliciously fraught by the emotional mastery of Foz Meadows. My heart rises, twists, and crunches precisely as they direct it to."

– Emma Mieko Candon, author of The Archive Undying

Outstanding Collection/Anthology

The Master of Samar by Melissa Scott

"Lambda Literary award winner Scott (Shadow Man) sets a solid mystery plot within an aristocratic, Victorian-esque commonwealth held together by magical curses… Scott hits all the expected beats, and her dark magic system keeps the stakes high."

– Publishers Weekly

The Rosewood Penny by J.S. Fields

"If there's one thing you should expect when reading a book by J.S. Fields, it's the unexpected. Fields comes up with the quirkiest ideas, whether they write sci-fi or fantasy. Imagine…(a) leader with impenetrable skin, her brother with highly sensitive skin, a princess with visions, horses with half-formed wings… Mix all these ingredients and you'll get a riotous enemies to lovers romance full of surprises and banter."

– Jude Silberfeld-Grimaud

Office of the Lost by J. Scott Coatsworth and Kim Fielding

"Co-writing can be difficult. If you don't have the right balance with your writing partner, the result can feel lopsided, or worse, a mess. Fortunately, Coatsworth and Fielding are a perfect match for writing. Each wrote a POV character in alternating chapters, and the style was seamless to the point that I forgot there were two different authors at all. .. I laughed out loud in the office while reading during my lunch break! Needless to say, I am looking forward to the Coatsworth & Fielding team up again for more of Crispin's and Leo's adventures."

– Estora, Queer Sci Fi

Was by Geoff Ryman

"A mythic meditation on the enduring power of fantasy and art and on the loss of innocence, both the innocence of childhood lost to the cruel realities of the grown-up world and the innocence of a nation lost to the cruelties of history. . . . A moving lament for lost childhoods and an eloquent tribute to the enduring power of art."

– Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

I Want That Twink Obliterated! by Trip Galey, Robert Berg and C.L. McCartney

"Queer fiction at its best"

– Lightspeed Magazine

Reclaimed by Seth Haddon

"A sweetly compelling queer romance…"

– Foz Meadows, author of A Strange and Stubborn Endurance

Wolf’s Path by Joyce Chng

"Wolf's Path demonstrates why Joyce Chng is one of the most ambitious and engaging SFF writers today. It's an excellent introduction to her work that's sure to delight you with its evocative prose and compelling ideas long after you've put it down!"

– Bryan Thao Worra, author of American Laodyssey
