Intro post I should have made two years ago
Who am I?
S.B. Barnes, author of queer romance
What books have I written?
Heart First and Second Chance, two murder mysteries set in the Hudson Valley featuring Tony, a mechanic, and Daniel, an academic, who have no business investigating crime
Minor Penalties, a four-part series of M/M hockey romance novels. The first two books, Two for Holding and Two for Boarding are out now and the third, Two for Charging, is available for pre-order! Available here or for non-amazon readers here!
Can you get in touch with me?
Yes, my askbox here is open to everyone, and you can also find me on Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, and my website also has a blog section
I am open to questions about pretty much all of the writing and publishing process and I am very happy to talk to people, though there are certain things (hateful language, threats, unsolicited attempts to sell me stuff) I will not respond to.
Where can you buy my books?
At your retailer of choice! I've linked the amazon pages above because that is where most people get them, but smashwords has slightly better conditions for indie authors and small presses and they do semi-regular sales. Note that my books are not on Kindle Unlimited, but you can get them on Kobo Plus. Also, you can go to any bookstore and ask for them, they will probably need to be ordered and it will take a few days but that option is always available!
