It's finally happened! We've finally made our way through the byzantine issues afflicting the internationally available version of @transcect.bsky.social's Bottle Blondes! Rhiannon chats with us about it here: www.patreon.com/posts/rhiann... And you can buy it here: bookshop.org/p/books/bott...

And of course, you could always add in the amazing @zoestorm.bsky.social's The Heart of the Woods and Other Stories, or To Own the Libs... or both ;) You can hear Zoe chatting about writing and editing here: www.patreon.com/posts/149371...

Fortunately I noticed the problem now. I realize this isn't a proper promotional post, but this arsehole and his accomplice woke us up at 3:00 a.m., just 3 hours after I went to sleep, and now I'm wearing my other work hat... So, uh, check out antithesispress.com/shop for some amazing queer books.

"The only thing he knew with absolute certainty was that David Oliver always looked a little like he was floating..." antithesispress.com/shop

Or if you're thinking something a bit different might be nice, we recommend @zoestorm.bsky.social's Fantasy/Magical short story collection - The Heart of the Woods and Other Stories. We still have a few copies with the limited edition signed bookplate-stickers left...

And of course, if you're looking for delightful eggy goodness, you could pair it with another college romance if you're feeling in the college romance mood: As @thetransfemininereview.com said, To Own the Libs is "...one of the marquee novels of the Scribblehub eggfic movement..."

Guess what?! The award winning novel Bottle Blondes by Rhiannon Swanson is out now! We're going to drive to the printer *today* to collect it and start shipping it... ...so if you want to be in that first batch of orders, today's your day. You can buy it here: antithesispress.com/product/bott...

I had to drop off the equipment from my old job and I'm pausing to charge the car and have a coffee before possibly running up to grab the books to ship to preorder and Patreon folks tomorrow. If they're not ready (Girlie Press said they'd try for a day early for us) then I'll be heading home.

Hey, it's Sunday. You know what would make Sunday better? Reading a nice cozy romance. And y'know what? We just happen to have one right here. antithesispress.com/product/to-o... As @thetransfemininereview.com put it: "...one of the marquee novels of the Scribblehub eggfic movement..."

...and of course the follow up which is that you, as a business, get to pay the processing fee to square for them to screw it up, then get to pay the processing fee for the refund to your customer for square having screwed it up.

If you run a small business using square - and you have google pay / apple pay enabled, it's important to know this.

I am sorry to inform you that after three orders, I have been instructed that I must make up for yesterday's failure to provide sufficient fuzzles because I was absent without purrmission from my owner and so order shipping is transiently pawsed.

Oh, and if you want to make it in time for this week's shipping (likely Thursday because we are but a small thing and shipping takes a big chunk of a day) which we need to spend typesetting and...doing accounts.

If you're wondering what our next book is, it's Bottle Blondes by the incredibly talented @transcect.bsky.social. Winner of the 2025 @thetransfemininereview.com Readers Choice romance award... (In progress artwork)

But still feels good to get these shipped.

I didn't quite manage to share this last week but we went up to Seattle and looked at our proofs for the locally printed version (that print run is running) and...wow

So in theory, as of this minute, you can order @zoestorm.bsky.social's To Own the Libs, and The Heart of the Woods and Other Stories, from any bookstore that has a contract with Ingram. I literally just hit the button, so it might take a bit to propagate. But, you can all go forth and order ;)

To ameliorate my pain, here's proofs of the bookstore variant of the books you can pre-order from antithesispress.com/shop There was an error that I caught, soon as the new proof's available we'll get orders open for stores. 'scuse the crappy photo, it's late & I've been accounting all day.

...or if you're looking for something a little different, The Heart of the Woods features five magical tales. Also available for pre-order at antithesispress.com/shop - with a discount if you buy both books in epub, physical, or any combination.

Sad that Valentine's weekend is over? Wanting just a bit more courtship in your life? Our new edition of @zoestorm.bsky.social's modern romance, To Own the Libs, featuring the densest of dense eggs, is available to pre-order right now at antithesispress.com/shop

...also excited because @zoestorm.bsky.social's The Heart of the Woods and Other Stories is at our local printshop. We'll be starting shipping as soon as it and To Own the Libs arrive. Who doesn't love short stories with magic and [redacted]? You can grab a preorder at antithesispress.com/shop/

In the world's smallest and least exciting update, we're getting our shipping stuff set up... We have a working label printer now! And my wife found the right search term for found the nicer packaging I've been hunting for... So I've ordered that for shipping.

Sasha was similarly helpful while I was trying to work earlier.

So, I was in the process of putting my ethics on a fire to burn them so that the press could have a facebook page. Apparently I don't need to because facebook say no. (To be clear, I had literally created a personal account page and not even put anything on it yet).

The amount of stupidity that's going in to making our epubs reliably accessible and pretty across multiple platforms is insane. Here, meet the beginnings of the AP logo font so that we can successfully render our font in light and dark mode.
