More about the Candy Hearts anthology
What is this anthology?
A group of 16 authors who write low angst, queer romance came together to raise money for charities supporting the rights of the queer community. All stories in the anthology are set at Valentine’s Day. Each story even has a “secret admirer” element in some way or another. There’s a mix of tropes and subgenres. Visit the stories page to learn more about each of the stories.
How does the charity part work?
All proceeds from book sales will be split between the Transgender Law Center and the National Center for Transgender Equality.
How long will it be available?
Candy Hearts will be available February 1 through March 31, 2024. At that time, the book will be pulled down from all retailers and the individual stories will return to each author to do with whatever they’d like. Don’t miss your chance to get all of these great stories!
Is there a paperback?
Candy Hearts is available in ebook only.
Can I get it from a library?
It won’t be available in libraries since the book is only on sale for a short period of time.
Will there be another volume?
That’s the plan! We hope to bring this anthology back each year with a focus on low angst, queer romances. Each year, we’ll keep the Valentine’s Day setting, but the “secret admirer” element in this first volume will change to a different twist each time.
