New kid (for me) on the blog!

Maybe a month ago I found this new (for me, but actually they exist from the beginning of the 2000) publisher, Wayward Books, located in Towcester, Nothamptonshire. They are devoted to LGBT fiction with an high propension to mystery. I read all the blurbs of the 8 books they have in catalogue (6 contemporary, 1 historical and 1 fantasy), and all the stories seem to have a strong romance component also.

Pointless to say that I bought all the 8 print books, directly from the publisher, and after less than 3 weeks, I received my books. They have quite a good binding, the cover are stylized, but better than most of the small publisher covers I have seen around, and the only little problem I had with my order, was promptly answered by a very gentle lady.

I haven't read yet the books, I will try do it soon, and I will let you know how they are, but one thing for sure, they started with me in a very good way.

Here is the catalogue:

I have the feeling that it's a bit that they don't release any new book... some of my friends know something about them?

I just received two books from wayward, still waiting for another three books from them. It looks interesting :) I just need to find time to read it.

Hi Elisa,
Have all the wayward books and am disappointed there are not more. You must read Paper Flowers which is the best. Just disappointed the sequel has never been published.
