And I'm happy to report an update on the Jessica Verday situation.
For those of you just joining us, the backstory is here.
Shorthand: New York Times Bestselling Author Jessica Verday was part of an upcoming dark fairy romance anthology, WICKED PRETTY THINGS, and wrote a boy/boy tale for it. The editor claimed the publisher Running Press wouldn't approve of it and she'd need to make one of the characters a girl. Verday called BS on the claim as RP had previously produced m/m titles in the past. Verday pulled the story in protest.
Other contributors followed suit and the WPT anthology was canceled.
Well for those of you who are like me and wanted to support the novella, now's your chance.
FLESH WHICH IS NOT FLESH (Cameron and Wesley's story) is now available as an eBook on Amazon, and from now through August 31, 50% of the proceeds from this story will go to the Living Beyond Tolerance scholarship.
Bought my copy today. I'm one chapter in. I plan to review it when I'm done.
