In Liam’s Wake – New LGBT Sci-fi (excerpt)

November 8, 2013 By Brandon Leave a Comment

We’re starting something new here on the blog, we’re featuring science fiction and fantasy with LGBT characters. There’s a lot of it out there, but for some reason, it’s not all that easy to find. I am a huge fan of both sci-fi and fantasy, and am very happy to kick off the first post featuring this sub-genre with an excerpt from In Liam’s Wake, the first book of Ashlyn Forge‘s new Toys and Soldiers Series. Enjoy!

For eight years, Liam has been trapped underground in The Colony—a sanctuary so determined to stay hidden it forbids anyone from leaving once they’ve entered. His only hope of returning home rests on his best friend Riley who, on the eve of their escape, slipped into a coma.

Despite staggering debt, vengeful mutants and bounty hunters, Liam continues a seemingly never-ending quest for a cure to end Riley’s unnatural five-year sleep. Every night, Liam stares at the listless man who not only holds his escape, but his heart. The suffering can end, however; Liam must only forsake all hope of ever returning home again, abandon Riley to his fate, and wholeheartedly serve as a soldier for The Colony—the very people he’s trying to escape.

Live the life within his reach, or continue chasing the one just beyond his grasp? He need only submit.

 

In Liam's Wake Cover“Opponent, do you accept this challenge?” an unfamiliar voice called out.

With a soft groan, Liam pulled himself into a sitting position. His mouth tasted dry and foul, but he could speak.

“Yeah. Wait…what?”

“Challenge accepted,” said the voice. “Enjoy.”

Liam rubbed his brow and then his eyes, taking stock of his surroundings. He was in a tunnel.

A fight? How’d I end up in a fight? Where the hell am I, anyway?

There were thin-framed metal bleachers behind him, and directly before him sat his opponent.

For a brief moment, Liam wondered if the drugs were causing him to hallucinate. He wasn’t sure he’d taken them, though, so he considered the possibility that he was succumbing to his ailment. Whatever the reason, he now sat some distance away from something he’d thought was a myth. [Read more…] about In Liam’s Wake – New LGBT Sci-fi (excerpt)

Cold Virtual Book Tour – Day 4

May 23, 2013 By Brandon Leave a Comment

Cold by Brandon ShireDay 4 of the Cold  Book Tour and we’re over at the Purple Rose Tea House getting a little serious with a talk about incarcerated LGBT youth. Did you know LGBT youth have a pipeline right into the prison system built especially for them? Cold is a fictional story about two men in prison, but the reality, which you’ll see in this post is much, much different for lgbt youth. (Trigger Warning)
