Happy Pride, Wrathful Pride, Pride with a dash of Spite… however you feel like celebrating this month, readers, I wish you all the best. And I come bearing tidings of books and bargains!
First up, we have the Pride Book Fair, a virtual event hosted by author Erinn Harper on Instagram and Bluesky during the month of June which aims to uplift and support queer authors and books. Amidst book bans, censorship issues, the fight for trans rights, and other issues impacting the queer community, independent queer authors and artists need your support more than ever.
Don’t know where to start? Pride Book Fair has you covered! Check out the book fair site for a schedule, prompts (not the AI kind of course), and promos including free and discounted books.
You’ll find my most recent full-length novel, Lust and Found, in the Pride Book Fair 2026 Bundle #4: A Good Day to Pride Hard. With 38 books, zines, and other publications across multiple genres for just $40, it’s a buffet of queer books! Find yourself a new favorite, gift some ebooks to a friend!
Or, if LGBTQ+ Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror is more your cup of tea, check out this second bundle. This one features 23 titles in science fiction, fantasy, and horror for just $10, including my sapphic horrormance novelette, Swim With Me, Darling.
And if you don’t have the funds to spend right now, sharing bundles like the ones posted here and chatting about your favorite queer books and authors is an excellent and free way to support us!
Finally, if you’re a Southern California reader, I will be at the Monrovia Pride Book Festival with signed copies of my books on Saturday, June 20th, from 12-6pm. It’s a free, all ages, dog-friendly event hosted by Underdog Bookstore, a non-profit bookstore that hosts inclusive events in addition to offering diverse books.
Happy Pride and, as always, happy reading!
