‘This Is Me!' – A heartfelt debut novel exploring identity, love, and acceptance in a small Australian town, just in time for Pride Month
COOMBS, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, May 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Released in the lead-up to Pride Month this June, 'This Is Me!' (ISBN: 978-1779628541) Book One in the 'Finding Ourselves' series by debut author Aspen Thomas, is a moving and timely novel that delves into self-discovery, authenticity, and resilience in the face of societal pressure. Published by Tellwell Publishing, 'This Is Me!' follows Luke Corbett, a young man returning to his conservative hometown of Gamarra after years living in Canberra. Struggling to reconcile who he is with where he comes from, Luke faces the challenge of living openly in a place that may not be ready to accept him. When a long-lost childhood friend resurfaces, old feelings reawaken and Luke must choose between staying silent or embracing his truth. Part coming-of-age, part quiet revolution, 'This Is Me!' captures the tension of living authentically in a world that often demands conformity. With lyrical prose and vivid character development, Aspen Thomas offers a tender portrayal of love, identity, and courage, deeply rooted in the rural Australian experience. 'I wanted to tell a story that felt real. Growing up gay, autistic, and with ADHD in a small town shaped the way I see the world and how I write. Luke's story is fictional, but the feelings, the fears, the moments of joy, they're very much my own,' said Thomas. As Pride Month approaches, 'This Is Me!' is a timely reminder of the importance of visibility and diverse storytelling. In Australia, nearly 10% of young adults aged 16 to 24 identify as LGBTQ+, reflecting a growing demand for authentic, inclusive stories that reflect real lives. With LGBTQ+ romance literature experiencing a global surge in readership, up more than 700% over five years, 'This Is Me!' stands proudly among a new wave of powerful queer voices shaping contemporary fiction. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ASPEN THOMAS is a science and mathematics educator, avid tennis player, and lifelong storyteller. Raised in the small Riverina town of Goolgowi and now based in Coombs, ACT, Aspen draws inspiration from his rural roots, his experiences as a neurodivergent individual, and his passion for honest, human stories. This Is Me! marks his literary debut and the beginning of the Finding Ourselves series. Learn more: BOOK SUMMARY Title: 'This Is Me!'

This spellbinding tale of prophecy, betrayal, and forbidden love takes readers deep into the mystical realm of Praetoria, where the fate of an empire hangs in the balance. In 'Harbinger,' the elite of Praetoria are not known for possessing any special abilities—so why is the only imperial princess plagued by vision-like nightmares? These chilling premonitions warn of her family's demise and the destruction of her world. Each day, they grow stronger, their horrors more vivid. When an imperial rook returns to the kingdom, the tone of her dreams shifts, offering her a fleeting sense of relief. Yet, his presence only deepens the mystery, as the laws of the realm strictly forbid a union between an elite and a rook. Their growing connection, however, becomes the key to a larger struggle—one orchestrated by hidden traitors seeking to usurp the throne. Four mischievous female moiohs conspire to bring them together, forging an uncertain path toward a future threatened by treachery, duty, and the weight of destiny. As dark forces close in, the princess must decide whether to follow the path laid before her or defy the laws of her people to save the ones she loves.
