I’m  very <\/i>excited to announce the first annual WORDS OF PRIDE Giveaway! In honor of international Pride month, WoP focuses on LGBT fiction, presented in a powerful and proud way to readers who love them.

So let’s break that down.<\/p>\n

<\/b>
What is this? <\/b><\/p>\n

Words of Pride is an ebook and paperback giveaway focusing on LGBT centric titles. These titles feature lesbian, gay, trans*, bi, and even pansexual characters, in stories that may feature their sexuality\/gender identity or simply highlight it. The point is that LGBT characters exist in fiction too, even though they can be difficult to find. WoP celebrates Pride month by introducing you to some of the best LGBT titles today.<\/p>\n

<\/b>
What are the prizes?<\/b><\/p>\n

Authors have donated either ebook or paperback (or both) titles. The first winner will also receive a $10 Amazon gift card to use as they wish.<\/p>\n

How many winners will there be?<\/b><\/p>\n

There will be at least one winner for every copy available. If your name is drawn, you will have 24 hours to claim a prize that is still available. At the moment there are 25 prizes so that means there will be at least 25 big winners!<\/p>\n

That is to say, if your name is drawn, you get to select a title\/bundle of your choosing. I will email you a list of remaining titles to choose from and you must get back to me within 24 hours which one you want, or you forfeit your prize and I’ll move on to the next winner. <\/p>\n

<\/a> Title: <\/b>“Daisuki.” (Ren’Ai Rensai, #1)
Author: <\/b>Hildred Billings
Format: <\/b>SIGNED Paperback (US Only.)
Genre: <\/b>Erotic Romance
Type: <\/b>Lesbian<\/p>\n

Notes: <\/b>None. <\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/b> <\/p>\n

Aiko and Reina have been together for almost 20 years, yet one thing remains unsaid between them: “Daisuki,” or, “I love you.” As they approach their anniversary, their relationship comes to an impasse as Aiko the Japanese housewife begins demanding “I love you” with a side of marriage and romance.<\/p>\n

But Reina doesn’t understand complex concepts like “love” or other heavy emotions. She’s spent years supporting her girlfriend via a soul-sucking salary job and tending to their mutual needs in the bedroom. Isn’t that sufficient? In a culture demanding Reina choose between the “feminine” and the “masculine” worlds, it’s bad enough she’s trying to find her role without Aiko adding extra pressure.<\/p>\n

Some words need not saying, but “I love you” is about to destroy a relationship already surviving strange side-lovers and even stranger exploits.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Jason Wadsworth is finally headed to university. Leaving behind his father’s cattle ranch in favor of the posh, gaslit streets of Perdana, Jason is determined to climb the social ladder and forget his country roots. If only his father had gifted him with a more upscale slave.<\/p>\n

Kale’s been a country slave his whole life. All he wants is to keep his head down and live as comfortable an existence as possible. Unfortunately, his dramatic master despises him and makes life difficult at every turn.<\/p>\n

Humbled by his first breakup, Jason grows to appreciate his ever-faithful slave and soon discovers that Kale is everything he’s ever wanted. Now he needs to prove to Kale that his love is genuine.<\/p>\n

Kale, meanwhile, tries to convince himself that he simply feels the devotion of a slave to his master, but his actions prove what his mind is unwilling to accept: he’s falling in love. When Jason’s future happiness is in jeopardy, Kale sets himself on a course to make Jason’s dreams come true, even if it means facing up to the fact that, for the first time in his life, he loves someone else more than he loves himself.<\/p>\n

QuiTai, ruthless concubine of Levapur\u2019s mysterious crime lord, the Devil, receives an unexpected invitation to cocktails with disgraced Thampurian Kyam Zul.

Under the guidance of an old and trusted general, the king hopes to keep the young princes far from the major conflict in the south, while at the same time providing them with a valuable learning experience. The estranged half brothers are rivals, but soon they feel attracted to each other. As if this was not enough of a complication, they begin to suspect that they were set up by their own father. The result is a fierce struggle for power where the lines between hate and love become almost indistinguishable and where nothing is what it seems.<\/p>\n

She wants nothing more than to sculpt, dance, and play, the way a muse should. But her fear of Owen casts a shadow over everything. She can’t even commit to a relationship, because she fears being smothered and controlled.<\/p>\n

Title: <\/b>Gastien: The Cost Of The Dream (The Gastien Series, #1)
Author: <\/b>Caddy Rowland
Format: <\/b>Ebook
Genre: <\/b>Historical Fiction \/ Family Saga
Type: <\/b>Gay, Lesbian (In later installments)<\/p>\n

Notes: <\/b>Gay characters do take center stage in the later books, but since this is a series the author is offering the first book with minor gay characters because the story is best told from the beginning. The final book very much ties in with the first.<\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/b>When young Gastien Beauchamp flees the farm for Paris, the late nineteenth century bohemian era is in full swing. Color has always called to him, beseeching him to capture it on canvas and show people a new way of seeing things. His father belittled his dream of being an artist and tried to beat him into giving it up. The dream wouldn\u2019t die, but Gastien would have had he not left.<\/p>\n

He also yearns to become a great lover. After the years of anguish he has endured at the hand of his father, it would be heaven to feel pleasure instead of pain.<\/p>\n

However, the city of Paris has a ruthless agenda. Unless a man has money and connections, Paris unfeelingly crushes dreams and destroys souls. With neither of the required assets, Gastien faces living in alleys, digging in trash bins for food, and sleeping where a man is often killed for his threadbare blanket.<\/p>\n

Left with only his dreams, Gastien stubbornly pushes on. He vows that absolutely nothing will stop him, not yet realizing what keeping that vow might mean. Sometimes the \u201cimpossible\u201d is possible \u2013 but the cost can be extremely high.<\/p>\n

This historical fiction novel is book 1 of a 5 book drama\/family saga for adults (The Gastien Series). Each book can stand on its own, but is most compelling read in order.<\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/b><\/p>\n

Hatshepsut longs for power, but she is constrained by her commitment to maat \u2013 the sacred order of righteousness, the way things must be. Her mother claims Hatshepsut is destined for Egypt’s throne \u2013 not as the king’s chief wife, but as the king herself, despite her female body. But a woman on the throne defies maat, and even Hatshepsut is not so bold as to risk the safety of the Two Lands for her own ends.<\/p>\n

As God’s Wife of Amun, she believes she has found the perfect balance of power and maat, and has reconciled herself to contentment with her station. But even that peace is threatened when the powerful men of Egypt plot to replace her. They see her as nothing but a young woman, easily used for their own ends and discarded. But she is the son of the god Amun, and neither her strength nor her will can be so easily discounted. <\/p>\n

As the machinations of politics drive her into the hands of enemies and the arms of lovers, onto the battlefield and into the childbed, she comes face to face with maat itself \u2013 and must decide at last whether to surrender her birthright to a man, or to take up the crook and flail of the Pharaoh, and claim for herself the throne of the king.<\/p>\n
