"Welcome to the Dark Carnival of Futurism…
Narrated by the author, this is a giant melting pot of madness to match the time.
One dark, windy supermoon night in the near future, a woman's ill-timed tarot question rips open a portal between dimensions, unleashing cosmic chaos.
Step right up to Venice Peach, a flamboyantly freakish circus on the gritty Venice Beach boardwalk, where bizarre talents and mind-bending spectacles are just the beginning. Get lost in a funhouse maze of reality-shattering events and untamed, sex-fueled showdowns.
Featuring a cast of gonzo characters tee-tottering on the slippery slope of ambition, only to be thrown wildly off-course by creepy canal creatures, zombie seagulls, and a robot president—this is a fast, raunchy ride with enough twists to leave you twisted.
No glitches, no guts, no glory.
'An unflinching psychedelic adventure with a human heart.' -Razorcake

"Acclaimed musician Jessamyn Violet's debut LGBTQA+ novel sizzles with a coming-of-age story set in an industry of ambition, secrets, lies, and utter joy.
Eighteen-year-old Kyla Bell dreams of one day being a professional musician . . . but gets little to no support from her parents. Still, she practices every day and performs locally, harboring her own secret hopes. One night, her dreams are answered in the form of sultry rocker Ruby Sky, the magnetic frontwoman of her favorite band, Glitter Tears. Ruby hears Kyla perform and asks her to join the band on keys for their upcoming tour.
In order to accept, Kyla must drop out of her Western Massachusetts high school and move to Los Angeles immediately to live with a renowned yet highly volatile producer who has agreed to put her through 'rock star boot camp' in a matter of weeks. Blindsided by her emerging feelings for Ruby Sky, Kyla tumbles through the lights and shadows of the nineties music scene in Los Angeles."
