Happy Pride! In celebration of Pride and the one year anniversary of The Harmony of Falling Snow's publication, I've lowered the 138k word novel's price to 3.99 on both itch and Ko-fi. If a mostly-cozy polyamorous romance in a modern queernormative elven world appeals to you, the first 3 chapters and purchase links are at https://andybrokaw.com/harmony #Pride #PrideMonth #QueerBooks #QueerWriters #PrideSale #Romantasy #FantasyRomance #PolyamorousRomance #PolyamorousBooks

Ponyboy (Eliot Duncan) – I'm a sucker for atmospheric prose, and Ponyboy seemed to give prose that echoed the protagonist's own chaotic, drug scrambled perception of his world in Paris and Berlin. It can make it a confusing read at times, but I felt that very much kept you inside Ponyboy's head as he gets trapped in his cycle of drugs, booze and godawful relationship choices. For as much as I enjoyed that, I felt it was lacking enough threads in the final act to tie the themes together. On it's own, it's strong. But set against a large number of tragic and self destructive queer stories, it was hard to see this standing out and offering something beyond a final movement past hopelessness and into recovery. In many ways, that mirrors stories that stem from the personal. But for a story that can be so evocative, I felt it had more to give in this current climate than what was said on the page. #Bookstodon #Books #QueerBooks #Queer #LGBTQ #TransBooks #Trans
