Living up to its name: The Phoenix
Nov. 25th, 2008 12:05 pmNow that it's been announced I can do it too! If you haven't read The Phoenix by Ruth Sims then you should, but hold your horses and don't buy the current edition as it's being re-edited, revamped and relaunched with Lethe Press (
lethepress) due out February 2009.
I'm really pleased about this, as The Phoenix was one of the first gay historicals I read and I loved it, the characters, the research, the conflict (oh GOD the conflict...) I'm also thrilled because Lethe is really expanding and taking on the relaunch of three wonderful m/m novels:
A Strong and Sudden Thaw by R W Day (
rwday) (and hopefully the sequel which I know that many of you are gagging for)
Dancing in the Dark by Tamara Allen; (
girluknow) and
The Phoenix by Ruth Sims.(

Seeing as how the top best sellers at Linden Bay right now are Lessons in Love by Charlie Cochrane and some book about Frost Fairies by some Greek bloke, I'm not hearing so much of the "there's no market for it" murmurs now, are you?
