Oh hey nerds, if anyone looking for a new urban fantasy novel to read, I got you covered. Just released my debut novel last month and I'm still in that way-too-excited phase. Goals: finish the sequel (current status 111k/???k) next month while NaNoWriMo is going.
Stray Dogs: The Burke Misadventures Book 1
Buy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H7XPZVV/
The Burke Siblings are damn good at what they do. And what they do? Well that isn’t any good at all.
Performing wet work for the Order of Magic’s Black Operations, the Burkes keep order in a chaotic world. But when their handler doubts their loyalty, snarky firebrand Ed and cerebral illusionist Des discover the difference between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ in the Order of Magic’s hierarchy.
Forget getting paid, surviving the Order’s most accomplished killer becomes the Burkes’ all-consuming focus.
That and toppling the whole underhanded house of cards that betrayed them.
Allies are hard to find when you’re pariahs, so the Burkes turn to a shapeshifter they had hunted not too long ago--an individual who supplies uneasy alliances, personal epiphanies, and stomach butterflies in equal measure.
Inspired by the likes of The Dresden Files, Hard Magic, and Supernatural, STRAY DOGS is the brainchild of a queer author who values clever magic, frantic action, and hair-trigger wit.

My novel, Stray Dogs, an urban fantasy romp that's lived in my brain for the last DECADE, is 50 Days Old today!
1) Buy my book! It's here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H7XPZVV/
2) Maybe look at the blurb and help critique it? I'm trying to figure out ads and I feel like maybe my blurb is a problem? Maybe not! Maybe it's my price point for $4.99? I have no idea!

Hullo! So, I know it's not directly gaming content, but it's tangentially related in that it's an Urban Fantasy Novel with nerdy leads and there are many a video game reference. It’s got swears, banter, action, magic, and autobiographical trans shit all in equal measure!

Hey gang! Just last week I released my debut novel:
It's Urban Fantasy, tempered with a familial bond as the story revolves around a pair of siblings. I've described it often as "a novel filled with with swears, banter, action, magic, and queer angst all in equal measure". I'll leave you with a pair of quotes from the first amazon/goodreads reviews to roll in:
"Quite frankly the fantasy book world needs more champions for the LGBT community, and I think Stray Dogs hits the mark. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series, but pick up a copy and see for yourself. You won't regret it."
"All told, Stray Dogs is a debut novel to be proud of. Of course, as with any debut, it has its jagged edges and spattering of cliches. But it is also not without its clear and definite moments of hilarity, sincerity, and charm that mark a storyteller in the making. So, come for the cool magic and anti-establishment vibes, but you may find yourself staying for the affirming support of true allies and siblings."
Weeeeeird.
Does this work? Linky: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H7XPZVV/
Yeah, right now it's kindle only, I'm working on getting it for Apple/B+N soon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H7XPZVV/ Hopefully if someone unrelated to the book posts a link it doesn't count as marketing :). Anyway, I've only just started reading it but so far I'm loving it. Congrats!!
So much so that I named the trans lead in my novel "Morgan/Mo".
Haha! You've activated my thinly veiled self-promo birthday post: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H7XPZVV/
Also, give me more (unisex?) names like this. Need more. Always more.
