NZ readers! I desperately need to clear some book space for new stuff and have a few bundles of the first edition Windflower books (witchy sapphic novellas) so putting them on sale, $50 for all 5 books, absolute bargain. Includes postage if you're not rural. Msg me if interested. #pukapuka

Bundle of books tied with ribbon, with Succulents and Spells on top. It has succulents in pots on the cover, and the background is black cloth with gold, red, and purple stars.

A book review for How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) by Marie Cardno. Review reads, "How to Get a Girlfriend is one of the few books that has made me laugh out loud! It's ridiculously charming and the romance between Sian and the amorphous blob of tentacles and madness that she wants to be her girlfriend is genuinely so touching. Very queer, with snappy, hilarious prose! If you were on the fence about it, the Cozy Fantasy for Trans Rights project is a great chance to pick it up for free, wink wink :D". A section labeled Genre reads, "Cozy fantasy/romance." A section labeled Rep reads, "F/f, queerness galore."

Hello Bsky mates! If you read The Grimmelings & enjoyed it, would you please consider nominating it for the Sir Julius Vogel SFF Awards - Youth Novel? Seems one nom doesn’t guarantee you a spot on the final list, so I’d be so grateful for your support. #pukapuka #kikorangi sffanz.nz/the-sir-juli...

Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen 🕵️👮‍♂️🏡🏳️‍🌈🇳🇿

Preston at Penshaw Hall (A Milverton Mystery) by G B Ralph. Out now.

Poison at Penshaw Hall (A Milverton Mystery) by G B Ralph. Book cover and blurb.

Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen.

Milverton is in the running for the Terrific Town Award, so a dramatic death at the opening ceremony is far from ideal. Addison had only been lending a hand, but now finds himself much more involved than he’d ever hoped. To think his biggest worry before had been his upcoming date with Sergeant Jake Murphy.

As for the sergeant, he can hardly ignore a hall full of witnesses even if he wanted to. And they’re all pointing the finger at his date, Milverton’s newest arrival, Addison Harper.
