Less Than Three Press “free” book – May 21

wordsofdivinity400Today the Less Than Three Press free ebook is Words of Divinity by Kayla Bain-Vrba. Here’s the blurb:

Daniel is a sorcerer, good at magic and taking all the credit—or so it seems to Liam. In Daniel’s eyes that’s vastly preferable to being Liam, a hunter who excels at killing beasts and sleeping with everything else. They cooperate only to keep their country safe—until a new and greater danger calls for desperate measures that takes them to the land of gods, and the only way home again is by facing monsters, gods, and truths they’ve been avoiding.

Reviewer(s) Announcement

4.1.1Good morning everyone. Aunt Lynn here with some great news!

As you know, there are so many stories released weekly in this little, ol’ genre of ours, so many so that it seems we’ll never be able to keep up.  Never to back away from a challenge, we’re gonna try, but to do so, we need to add to our already fabulous, talented team.

Recently I put out a general call asking if anyone was interested in critiquing for us. We are happy to say that we had several takers! Please meet and help me welcome Zen, Zac, Orion and K.C. to our insane asyl…er, loving family.  Look for reviews soon from these newbies. Here is what they have to say about themselves:

Coming Up This Week May 19

Rodiney-Santiago-For-Revista-Junior-1This is a long weekend in Canada and that’s the reason why this post is later than usual.

Hurray for Spring and great weather which makes me want to drink alcohol (I don’t really need an excuse) :)

To our authors: Last week I wrote an article about author royalties  Writing is a Great Career but how much does it pay? There were over 125 comments on the post and more than 1300 hits, I assume mostly from authors. However, while it’s nice to know that you found the post and the comments interesting, and a lot of you said it gave you a different perspective of how much to expect in future royalty payments, only about 110 authors completed the survey. Since the number of M/M authors is at least 1000 and probably a lot more, this response is disappointing. I was hoping that a lot more of you would have completed the survey because you’re doing so for your fellow authors and yourself. As with any survey, without really good empirical data the information is inconclusive and not very credible: the larger the survey group and number of respondents, the more reliable the results. Thanks to those of you who completed the survey to date, but the results would be a whole lot more meaningful if the majority of M/M authors did so as well. I’m sure your colleagues would appreciate your willingness to contribute to this survey. Thank you.
