2021 Michael Langan LGBTQ+ Free Reads Scheme

 

I'm so proud to announce that my WIP novel Dead Man's Bell has been chosen as one of the winners of the 2021 Michael Langan LGBTQ+ Free Reads scheme. 

Dead Man's Bell is a gaslamp fantasy about a fugitive necromancer set in Victorian London.

About Dead Man's Bell

Belle Dwyer has always had a gift for talking to the dead. As the sole survivor of her coven, the problem isn’t contacting her former friends and lover: it’s knowing how to face them. Plagued by survivor’s guilt, Belle makes a new name and new life for herself posing as a medium. Six months later she’s blackmailed into resurrecting a young man back from the dead. But his death only looked like an accident: someone powerful wanted to silence him and now their attention is fixed on Belle…

I am so grateful to this scheme, not only for the support they've shown me but also to helping create a climate where LGBTQ+ writers and stories are supported and celebrated. You can find some of their resources for writers here.
