Keira Andrews writes: “Last year, Euphoric Lit in Australia asked me if I’d be interested in a special edition for Isaac and David, and of course my answer was yes! (Hell, yes!) It’s going to be BEAUTIFUL with rose gold foiled letters that really make the words pop. It’ll also have printed edges, special interior formatting, custom end papers, a print, stickers and a bookmark. There’s gorgeous NSFW artwork for the interior I wish I could share with you right now!”

Euphoric Lit is now taking pre-orders for a special edition of David & Isaac: A Gay Amish Romance Trilogy from Keira Andrews. Keira Andrews is an incredibly dependable author for compelling gay romance. Her stories have well developed characters, circumstances that are deeply relatable, and quite well-written, steamy sex scenes. Although it is hard to pick a favorite, David and Isaac’s journey might possibly be my favorite. This special edition will also include the important holiday novela that follows the trilogy. I’ve read this series twice (maybe more than that but I can confidently say twice) and it held up beautifully with multiple readings.

I didn’t grow up Amish, but I was deeply involved in a fundamentalist church in my late teens and early twenties. The painful pull between what I was taught and what my community required, with what my core nature was loudly declaring – that was a challenging time in my life. Although I didn’t face the challenges that David and Isaac faced, their journey was affirming for me.

The biggest obstacle to leaving any legalistic religion is discovering the nature of Truth. Are my feelings to be trusted? By listening to my instincts, am I listening to the devil? This is why organized religion tries to stifle LGBTQ voices. Hearing the stories of others informs us that we’re not alone, that the world is richer and more wonderfully complex than we were led to believe. I know my mother and Christian friends from those days believe I left Christianity because I came out as gay. But that’s not accurate. The awareness of my same gender attraction forced me to inspect the doctrine closer. Those feelings led me to question teachings that before I’d hesitated to doubt. When I studied the scriptures, the doctrine crumbled. The inner contradictions and outright absurdities became increasingly untenable. So I left the church. It was like taking off sunglasses and seeing the world in full color. With every year my life has become richer and filled with more compassion for others. Religion is hardly the source of morality. It codifies a strict moral code for its own purposes, but it did not create that moral code. Kindness and respect for others and for oneself are the only articles of faith that I require now. All other doctrinal points are useless without them.

Anyway… these beautiful books are coming out in a limited omnibus edition. If you are a bibliophile like me, and have the funds to spare, you might want to check it out. Pre-orders close April 18 (Aussie time).
