Hey there, space cadets! I, award-winning speculative fiction author Natalie H. Ironside, have written another thing. Following the success of my cool and very good post-nuclear wasteland adventure transbian romance novel The Last Girl Scout, which some readers have described as "not that bad," we now have a short story collection!
If you enjoy dystopian gunslinger adventure, American Gothic horror, and g*rls who k*ss and h*ld h*nds, if you think "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. meets Inglorious Basterds" sounds like a fun comp title, but you looked at my very neat and fun novel The Last Girl Scout and said "that fucking thing is 600 pages long and idk if I'm ready for that kind of a commitment," then this is the book for you.
Lead and Roses contains four short stories and one novella that further explore the irradiated wasteland of the 23rd century, framing the events of The Last Girl Scout. Whether you're a fan of TLGS who wants to visit their old friends again, or you've just stumbled across this post and are looking for something new, you'll love Lead and Roses.
Order on Amazon (in ebook AND paperback! Wow!)
Cashapp some moneys to $NatalieIronside and include an email address and preferred file type (remember, The Last Girl Scout is $5, Lead and Roses is $3)
(And I hate to effortpost but writing is like a third of my household income these days so if u wanted to support a disabled trans woman and her little family then this would be an awesome way to do that thing)
The past lies like a nightmare over the world.
Following up her debut novel, The Last Girl Scout, award-winning author Natalie H. Ironside presents a new collection of tales exploring the irradiated post-apocalypse of the 23rd century and the worlds we’ve built up from the ashes. Spanning genres including queer slice-of-life, military adventure, and horror, the five tales in this collection are sure to have something fun for all lovers of the post-apocalypse, whether they’re fans of The Last Girl Scout or just fans of the genre.
This collection includes:
Stories: Two women stand on the edge of oblivion and dare to believe in a future.
The Last American: A red star is rising over southern Appalachia, and one man has the courage to remain true to God and embody the spirit of Old America against the godless communist hordes. It goes about as well for him as you’d expect.
The White Goddess: A group of scientists set out to explore the wasteland and come face-to-face with the pernicious refusal of the past to die.
Werewolf: A boy who became a stormtrooper chasing dreams of heroism discovers that being a man of action doesn’t quite live up to expectations.
That’s a Christmas to Me: A woman struggling with her faith, her identity, and her dark and troubled past finds some small shred of redemption and learns an important lesson about motorcycle safety. (Originally published as a Patreon exclusive for the 2020 winter holiday season)
