Reading the final pages of The Betrayal of Thomas True in Sitges 🦚 — @ajwestauthor.bsky.social has written a dazzling work of queer history and storytelling. Its evocation of 18th century persecution mirrors today’s prejudices with chilling clarity, yet reminds us that love always outlives hate ❤️

The Betrayal of Thomas True by @ajwestauthor.bsky.social is a delightful thriller / historical romance, populated by C18th mollies, the queers of their era.

Well, Thomas True is in the top ten of gay romance on Kindle. Can we make him rise through the soft (apparently quite hard) pornography? 99p until tomorrow! amzn.eu/d/bQ4OKBw

Hello, it's me. #ThomasTrue is only 99p on Kindle for the next couple of days and I'm thinking... wouldn't it be nice to have a true historical story in the top ten of gay romance books? 🦚💜🦚 Can you help Thomas and Gabriel make new friends? amzn.eu/d/bI1LGNS
