Now Available in Audio: Tiffany and Tiger's Eye by Foxglove Lee

I'm delighted to announce that my novel Tiffany and Tiger's Eye is now available as an audiobook!

This audio version was created using Google's digital auto-narration technology rather than a human narrator, and I love how it turned out. It's seven hours long and I enjoyed every minute of it.

If you love consuming content in audio format, be sure to grab a copy of Tiffany and Tiger's Eye from Google Play!

How many secrets can one family keep?

If there’s one thing Rebecca knows, it’s how to keep her problems under wraps. It’s easy to keep your mouth shut when you’ve got no friends, but with a rock-and-roll dad who drinks too much and a mom who works day and night, Rebecca needs a sympathetic ear. That’s why she tells her troubles to Yvette, an antique doll that once belonged to her grandmother.

In the summer of 1986, after her father’s strange disappearance, Rebecca and her little brother are sent to stay at the cottage, where she meets Tiffany: a water-skiing blonde who dresses like Madonna, makes her own jewellery, and claims to see auras.

But strange things happen when Rebecca spends time with Tiffany. Her aunt and uncle are convinced she’s acting out—and she’d have good reason to, considering they won’t tell her where her father is—but she can’t seem to convince them she isn’t the one trashing her bedroom and setting fires. Unlikely as it seems, Yvette must be the culprit. There’s nothing more dangerous than a jealous doll who knows all your secrets…

A digitally narrated paranormal 80s nostalgia lesbian audiobook

Behind the Curtain with Gayboy

https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1179950968
I'm bringing you behind the scenes with this post. Strap in, tie those shoelaces (made ya look!) and grab a warm mug of cocoa. Here we go!

In August I published a sweet, lovely bisexual teen novelette called And Plaid All Over. More recently I published a gritty, honest bisexual teen chapbook called Gayboy.

And, actually, they're both the same book. Different name, different cover, different branding, but the story inside is exactly the same.

The plan from the very beginning was to a/b test this story. What's a/b testing? It's when you present different versions of something to see what will have better results. In the case of Plaid/Gayboy I wanted to see whether a softer or harder title and cover design would sell more copies.

Of course, I'm being totally unscientific about this by actually telling you what I'm up to. I published the Plaid version first and kept it exclusive to Amazon for 90 days, then I unpublished it. My plan was to do the same with Gayboy, but I gave up pretty fast because Kindle Unlimited never works out for me. The bulk of my sales come from other ebook stores, so I've uploaded Gayboy pretty much everywhere.

The only thing I didn't change was print version. Chalk that up to laziness. But that also meant I was able to include in the Gayboy blurb: Paperback version available as "And Plaid All Over." Because, of course, I changed the title and cover art to test design concepts, not to trick anyone into buying the same book twice--yet another reason I'm letting you in my evil plan to take over the world. I mean to a/b test this book. Sorry, I glanced at the wrong notebook for a sec.

Now I know what you're thinking: which one's the winner--a or b? Plaid or Gayboy?

Well, the wheels fell off when I changed so many testing parameters, so I can't really say. What I can say is that you are more than welcome to scoop up a copy of Gayboy anywhere you like. 

Oh, and if you want to know what the actual story is about... well, you could read it. Or you could check out this post I wrote: http://foxglovelee.blogspot.ca/2016/08/new-teen-fiction-bi-guy-his-best-friend.html

"I Know What Gay Is" is back and it's FREE until Friday!


I kind of said it all in the subject line, so... hmm... what's left to tell you?  

Not much! 

Here's the blurb for my queer YA short "I Know What Gay Is":


Isn't babysitting a job for twelve-year-old girls?

When the couple next door asks Jay to babysit, he can't help wondering… why him? Did they hire Jay as some kind of queer role model because they suspect little Sarah is gay?

At the park, when Sarah and Jay run across the guy he's been pseudo-stalking, Sarah insists she’s a boy. Darien’s sheer sexiness makes Jay pretty brain-dead, and he can't think what to talk about except how Sarah wants everyone to call her Frank. The funny kid reminds Darien of his transgender cousin. Could Sarah be trans, too? Should Jay talk to her parents? What if they say it's none of his business? What if they fire him?

Well, then he'll just have to spend his summer watching Darien work in the park, sweaty and shirtless...

Second Edition. First published by Prizm Books. 4,500 words.

It's free at Amazon now through Friday (that would be the 15th of August, I do believe) so pick up a copy today!

If you're somewhere else I'm pretty sure you can just replace the "com" with your country's Amazon suffix and you'll get to the book page? Maybe? I could be totally wrong about that. Try it and see if your computer explodes.

Truth and Other Lies

http://www.evernightteen.com/truth-and-other-lies-by-foxglove-lee/

I'm warning you right now: there WILL be a blog hop. And it will be amazing. Because my new book, Truth and Other Lies, is just that cool.

I always swore to myself I'd never write a book about a writer, but when the idea for Truth and Other Lies popped into my brain I couldn't turn it off and I couldn't alter it.  Sometimes you just gotta write the thing. 

So I did, and here it is: a book about a guy whose best friend leaves a brilliant manuscript in his hands; a book about what he chooses to do with her words; a book about falling in love with a beautiful girl... and falling in love with her handsome boyfriend; a book about a love triangle that's anything but conventional; a book about secrets... and lies.


Have you ever wanted to get noticed? Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you worked or how hard you tried, nobody in the entire world cared what you did? Well, what if someone famous—and we’re talking Oprah-famous, here—noticed you for the one thing you wish you could hide? For your one big secret…

That’s exactly what happens to 18-year-old Kenneth McIntyre when television guru Prahna Mehta hails his self-published novel as the next bestseller. Little do his new fans know Truth and Other Lies wasn’t written by Kenny at all… and it isn’t fiction. Kenny’s been keeping secrets for years. Sometimes he feels like he’s lying to everybody he loves.

When Kenny gets swept into stardom, how will he hide the secrets he’s kept for years? And, if his lies are exposed, will anyone stay by his side?

And while I'm on the topic, I want to thank everyone at my new publishing house.  I've been working with amazing editors and promotions people and I'm so touched by the personal interest they take in my book.  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

The Secret to a Perfect Latke is Back!


My contract was up on my OmniLit bestselling ebook The Secret to a Perfect Latke, so I decided to take the plunge, create a cover for it, and upload it to Amazon!

If you've been wondering what happened to the funny story about Noah coming out live on national television, here it is: 

Noah has never been on TV before, but he dreams of having his own cooking show one day. When he's asked to help a gourmet chef prepare latkes for a Hanukkah segment on the Sunny and The Bear show, his family is proud but suspicious. Sunny and The Bear is a "lifestyle" show that's popular among straight women and hosted by gay men. What's more, the guests on this show have an uncanny tendency to come out of the closet live on national television...

An OmniLit bestselling comedy short from LGBTQ Young Adult author Foxglove Lee!
 

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00IID56OG

Read a Sample:

“You must be new to the show,” said the curvy blonde with a head full of ringlets. “Don’t worry too much. Just focus on Phil and Sunny. Try to forget about the millions of people watching from home.”

“Millions?” Noah’s throat ran dry. “It can’t be millions.”

The blonde woman shrugged. “I don’t know -- millions, thousands, whatever.”

Noah kept checking his watch even though there was a clock in the Green Room. He didn’t trust it -- time couldn’t possibly move so slowly. He was getting so agitated his insides were itchy. He wished he could reach inside his skin and scratch.

And then, out of the clear blue sky, Sunny walked into the Green Room with Phil “The Bear” following close behind. Sunny threw his hands up in the air and cried, “We’re heeee-eeeere!”

The women and Chef Troy did the same and shouted, “We’re queeee-eeer!”

Everybody laughed, leaving Noah feeling stunned and out of touch as the guys did their “How’ve you been?” rounds with everyone they knew. And then they got to Noah. The Bear shook his right hand while Sunny shook his left.

“What’ve we got here, Phil? Looks like fresh meat!”

“Oh, I’m not very… meaty.” What a stupid thing to say, but everybody laughed so it must have been funny. “I’m Noah. I’m helping Chef Troy make latkes.”

Prizm In Perspective: The Second Mango by Shira Glassman

As I mentioned yesterday, I'll be showcasing some great books from my Prizm at the blog. The first one has been very well received and, like my upcoming novel, it's got a lesbian focus:

The Second Mango

The Second Mango

Queen Shulamit never expected to inherit the throne of the tropical land of Perach so young. At twenty, grief-stricken and fatherless, she's also coping with being the only lesbian she knows after her sweetheart ran off for an unknown reason. Not to mention, she's the victim of severe digestive problems that everybody think she's faking. When she meets Rivka, an athletic and assertive warrior from the north who wears a mask and pretends to be a man, she finds the source of strength she needs so desperately.

Unfortunately for her, Rivka is straight, but that's okay -- Shulamit needs a surrogate big sister just as much as she needs a girlfriend. Especially if the warrior's willing to take her around the kingdom on the back of her dragon in search of other women who might be open to same-sex romance. The real world outside the palace is full of adventure, however, and the search for a royal girlfriend quickly turns into a rescue mission when they discover a temple full of women turned to stone by an evil sorcerer.
