One of the best parts about releasing a fantasy book, if you ask me, is FINALLY getting a blurb from @tarasimauthor.bsky.social. Leading off the blurb roundup for A LEGIONNAIRE'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND PEACE, here are her generous words on the book!

agony, honestly, to have a romance-focused book to promote, a great cover, and a bunch of assets prepped, but TODAY is valentine's day and the cover reveal isn't until next week. 🥲

Ya know what? Fuck it. These books promise a future for queer people, for BIPOC, for women, for disabled people, and doesn’t just include them but makes them lead heroes & I put all my heart and hope into them.

I time tracked all of my writing work in 2024, and these are the results. Most of the first half of the year was spent drafting ALGTLAP (aka TKK on the charts) and you can see the plunge in August when I finally turned it in. In total, I did roughly an hour of work a day, every single day. Woof.

Submissions for our queer sword and sorcery anthology are open until January 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words. Very keen on tyrant-killing, intimate stakes, unknowable magic, tiny loincloths, sweaty muscles, big thighs. Good to avoid: epic fantasy tropes. More info: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions
