Year Wrap-up and Award Nomination Post

​Hello to all!
 
2020 is finally wrapping up, and I'm sure most of you agree with me in hoping that 2021 brings some sort of resolution to all of what's been going on. Not holding my breath, but a person can hope, right?
 
There are a few things I want to go over on here before the year is over.
 
 
Titles eligible for award nomination
Because we have both new titles and ones that have been previously published, this will be your easy, one-stop area to see what titles we've put out this year that are available to be nominated. If it's not listed here, it's a previously-published work. This goes for standalone works, as well as short stories in anthologies.

2021 and Submission Calls
As I've announced, we'll be opening for submissions on standalone works (AKA things that aren't for anthologies) on January 15th, 2021, and will be opening for one month—until February 15th, 2021. If sales bump back up and things look good on the horizon (or we don't receive a ton of submissions in that timeframe), we may open up submissions for a slightly longer time.
 
As for anthologies, right now the only one planned is Selections of Anthropomorphic Regalements: Vol 2, which we're hoping to have more information about soon. It was pushed back due to the pandemic, and we're hoping to be able to get that moving soon.
 

Titles Available for Pre-Order

Freedom Ring (Serpentia: Book 2) by Frances Pauli

In the sequel to our 2020 best-selling title, Disbanded, Sookahr is in exile, marked a traitor and separated from his home and his lover, Viirlahn. If he means to release the citizens of the Burrow from the corruptions that plague them, he’ll have to venture deep into the jungle that nearly killed him once before. He must negotiate a new way for his people, and with the help of an unlikely ally, perhaps win a victory for their rodent servants as well.

In a hostile new world populated by ravenous insects, drug-addled lizards, and the dark secret hidden in the belly of the serpents’ nursery tower, Sookahr must face his deepest fears.


Sometimes the hardest part of being the hero, is knowing when not to.

Freedom Ring will be released on March 7th, 2021.

Symphony of Awakened Gods (Elancia Chronicles: Book 3) by Leilani Wilson

In Book 3 of our 2019 best-selling series, Verse is an Imperial Knight with a monster inside them. They have a tendency to get into trouble, a desire to be better, and friends who just keep popping back up, despite inherent risk. Verse has to remember what it feels like to feel anything at all, and be brave in the face of something that scares them more than anything else: love.

What begins as a look into the whereabouts of a sister uproots an entire, rotten family tree with deep roots and no trunk. Awakening Gods stalk the empire as it begins to buckle under its own weight.


The storm is breaking, and before the empire shatters completely, everyone will have to figure out where they stand, and how to survive.

Symphony of Awakened Gods will be released on February 20th, 2021. You can also check out the accompaniment music album, available now!

Be safe, everyone, and see you in 2021!
