Kalikoi launch!

[osprey_archer]

It's Kalikoi launch day! Kalikoi is a new publisher for books about women who love women, in a variety of genres: fantasy, historical, paranormal romance, contemporary... I keep wanting to write space opera, but I don't think there are any space operas scheduled. YET.

Today the first Kalikoi book came out: Rachel Manija Brown's Watercat Cafe, which is post-apocalyptic cottagecore about a woman who dreams of resurrecting the lost tradition of the cafe. (One of my favorite details: Ruthie built this dream on a pre-apocalyptic cozy mystery set in a cafe. It's a delightful, loving send-up of this particular genre of cozy, complete with numerous punning titles.)

Also, the food scenes (by which I mean... maybe half the scenes in the book?) are to die for. Reading the book made me so hungry!

Mine is after the characters escape the space opera, so I'm already wondering how the hell I am going to sum that up on a cover. (I'm not done with it yet.)

I have a bad habit of setting books right after a war, which makes the blurbs so much harder to write. But writing about the aftermath is so much fun, though...

Yeah, the first novel I ever completed was set the year after WWI.
