To celebrate The Voice of Wild Places going to ARC readers soon, I’ve gathered some books that take place largely in the 20s and 30s. There is one that recently came out and I’m so excited that I needed to include it; it takes place in the 1910s.

The Voice of Wild Places is a queer historical fiction set in 1930, following two ex best friends as they search for lost cities, and the legend who disappeared looking for them.

A heavily vignetted background of trans color stripes. Upper text: 'Stories for Trans Rights Readathon Bundle.' Lower text: '70+ stories. Organized by Robin Jo Margaret.' two ebook covers are in the center of the graphic. The Rebel Foxes by Noah Hawthorne features a brown skinned woman with long curly blonde hair. She wears a leather jacket, tight pants, and a gas mask full of plants. She sprays magical green spray paint to the left and right across a stone corridor. She has a determined look on her face. Phantom and Rook by Aelina Isaacs features a busy market street in a modern town with tudor architecture a warm glow illuminates the crowds & stores that line the road. There is a seasonal festival, which is evident over this hustle because of the decorations of red & gold bunting and flags crisscrossed cross over head, and sunflowers have been pinned on the beams and roof tops. Between all the people, two men have seen each other. A tall brown man, with a mane of curly black hair, wearing a knitted rainbow duster, looks over his shoulder with the confusion of a clouded memory. He has arms full of shopping in paper bag, herbs, flowers and bottles, he has to be on his way and the crowd is moving, but still he lingers as he looks at the other man. The other man is small, thin, freckled and has a shock of red hair that is firey in the dawn light, he is taking the hood of his green jersey like he is going to pull it over his head, but before he does he looks back at the second man. The heaviness of his heart and thin hope are evident in his face.

I’m part of a itch.io bundle! Over 40 authors and illustrators have come together to offer their work at a discounted price for the upcoming Trans Rights Readathon.
The bundle is available from March 17th to March 31st, and we’ve smashed through our first three goals!

This is my first time being part of an itch.io, and I’ve only recently started selling my ebooks on there. So far the experience is good, people seem to be loving the indie aspect of it and the ability to tip when making purchases. Purchases that are direct, meaning the files that you pay for are *yours.*

The current goal has been bumped up to $12,000, and right now we’re about to hit 8k. My monthly sales from itch.io are going to Advocates for Trans Equality.

The Trans Rights Readathon is an annual call to action, during which people read trans books and support their trans community in other ways.
