(cont) ...here's a BookFunnel Promo exclusively for sapphic authors in KU. The more the merrier! I think we have done much to inform readers, and we'll continue to do so, but meanwhile, we can show them the variety of books they can find there. dashboard.bookfunnel.com/bundles/boar...

Thank you! The Connected series (sapphic Mafia romance) started with Promised to the Queen and is soon about to end with Saved by the Heiress, now on pre-order. Barbarawinkes.com amazon.com/author/barbarawinkes 🌈📚❤️🌹

And for readers who are participating in the blackout today, as other authors have said, reading LGBTQ+ stories in KU won't undermine it. I'll spend a quiet day with my wife, writing, catching up on admin stuff, talking about the future. Hang in there, and stay safe! 💕

I hear you. I came to Canada 14 years ago and have only good things to say about healthcare in general. The cost of a root canal, however, was a shock.

(And yes, even though I write mostly mysteries and suspense, it's still under the sapphic fiction umbrella, so I consider it my genre too)

Crime/Mystery and Suspense/Thriller, but no horror.

Just added you!

Added you to the KU one!

Mystery or KU?

Example: boycotting Target or McDonalds 100% hurts the corporation and the CEOs and shareholders behind both. boycotting Amazon doesn't (especially when it comes to KU/books. you know, their loss leader). boycotts are incredibly effective, but be intentional on which ones you spend your energy on.

- for readers borrowing books, purchasing them wherever they see fit. I am also glad that sapphic fiction world is finally having this conversation about KU/Amazon from all angles. I am glad that Melissa's post has been shared over 100 times. And if you still have questions, Jae's blog might help -
