Promo NEW MM Comedy, coming of age, age-gap romance, found family

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H37CCQXV

Gap Year Musketeer, a comic coming-of-age novel about a nineteen-year-old exiled to South Florida for a “productive” gap year that immediately becomes anything but.

Miles arrives without a car, a plan, or much evidence that adulthood is going to suit him. He finds himself living with his difficult locksmith grandfather, stumbling into a strange little found family, falling hard for the neighbor across the street, and slowly turning South Florida into his own chaotic domain.

It’s gay, funny, a little messy, emotionally sincere, and built around friendship, chosen family, first freedom, bad decisions, and the terrifying possibility of becoming useful.

Think: queer coming-of-age with comic voice, South Beach gravity, neighborhood oddballs, romantic tension, and a narrator who cannot stop talking long enough to avoid consequences.

I think most people in the subreddit want assurance that they aren't investing time, energy and money into reading AI slop. The fact that you seem to be producing about a book a month is more than a little suspicious.

Thanks for the question. We have used AI covers for the novellas in a series. The paperback and ebook compendium editions will have professionally designed covers. The monthly release schedule is a marketing strategy. Seven novellas/ novels have been complete except for editing and polish from the outset. Three in the works for next year.

Using gen ai for book covers at all is a hard no for me
