A Notional Treason, a 42,000 word novel in the same setting as Wine Can't be Pressed into Grapes and When Wasps Make Honey, is now available from Smashwords in EPUB format, from Barnes and Noble for the Nook, and from Amazon in Kindle format.

When Prince Tarinachem's father died, several of his brothers engaged in a civil war to determine who would succeed him as king. By the time it was over, not only the defeated rivals, but all their less ambitious brothers had been transformed into princesses by the king's wizards, to ensure that no one would challenge the victor's right to the throne.

Princess Tarinissa has long since reconciled herself to her new state and made a new life for herself. Now a powerful foreign witch offers her the chance to become a man again -- something everyone thought was impossible. If she accepts, she will become the target of her brother's wrath -- but even if she refuses, the knowledge that this spell exists will put her and her sisters in danger.

This novel is set thousands of miles away and a generation later than the earlier books, and has no characters in common, so it's not necessary to have read them before reading this. It would help a little, though, and this story contains minor spoilers for the earlier books.

I earn a higher royalty rate on sales of this novel through Smashwords than through Amazon, so if both ePub and Kindle format are equally convenient for you, I would prefer if you bought it from Smashwords. And please, if you enjoy it, leave a review on one or both ebook retailer sites, and/or a comment on this post.

This is the only one of my novels so far that is available in the Barnes and Noble online store, but the DRM-free ePub books available from Smashwords should (if I understand correctly) work on the Nook and various other ebook readers other than the Kindle, as well as on a variety of ebook reader software for various phones and computers. I am not sure why Smashwords hasn't sent my other novels to Barnes and Noble -- that is, I know they say there are minor formatting errors in the ePub file, but my offline copy of epubcheck says they're fine so I don't know how to fix these putative errors.

If there is interest, I may post an excerpt from it here, but I have no immediate plans to post the entire novel here.
