I published my book

My book, The Monsters’ Guild, is published! It’s not quite ready for distribution yet, but the proof copy is printed and on its way to me, and my editor is working on formatting the ebook, which as soon as he gets back to me, I can publish the ebook version.

It’s a silly little story about monsters who become adventurers. It’s intended for young adults, and has queer themes. I’m writing book 2 now, which will have a somewhat darker tone and will be about twice as long, but at its heart will still be a silly little story about monsters.

If there’s interest, once it’s ready for print and digital distribution I can post a link. I’m really excited about becoming a published author!

Okay, seems there’s some interest! The print version is still waiting on me to give the okay for distribution, but the eBook is ready to go! It’ll work on any device that isn’t a Kindle, and I’ll include a link below to a website that’ll convert to a Kindle-friendly format.

The Kindle version is publishing now, and the print version should be ready next week sometime. It’s not a very long book, only 74 pages or so, but I’m working on book 2 now and it’ll be about twice as long.

I’m interested. What’s the literature theme or purpose?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean… The theme is what I said in the OP, monsters that become adventurers. But as for purpose? I guess to put racial and societal inequalities in a different light, but I’m not sure if that’s what you meant.

my grandma wrote a book, it’s called ‘and the Angels sing’ and it’s her experience with hearing angels sing to her… I can’t say I don’t believe her, but I can tell ya I don’t truly think they were angels lol
