Yeah, we've seen this happen before with other releases, particularly in non-US countries. We just want to make sure people who are excited about the book and want a copy can access one at a reasonable price

They have a printer in Australia though??

We think there's some weird things going on in Canada...

We know for sure that the price shouldn't be AU$50 on amazon au - that's double what we set it as!! Ingramspark has printing facilities here - why is the book shipping from the UK??

Please DM us if you're experiencing similar issues.

the amazon.com.au listing for Sophia Turner's book Machines of Consent showing the price is at AU$50.77 and the book is shipping from the UK

What does Machines of Consent have? Well, I'm glad you asked.

The cover of Machines of Consent with the following "tropes":
- really hot butch/femme T4T
- consent is sexy
- science meets parkour
- opens with a bang
- shadowy government agencies

in the bottom left there's an arrow pointing away from on of the characters that says "why is this arrow coming out of her crotch?"

Machines of Consent by Sophia J Turner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

TLDR: "A gem of a book with a killer hook & just enough line to set it & reel in its prey (you, the reader)...I predict this is going to be in contention for a lot of folks' end-of-year lists. I know it'll be on mine."

Dani Finn's review of Machines of Consent

5/5: T4T lesbian romance and cyberpunk noir walk into a bar. T4T says "I'll have vulnerable emotional intimacy with a chaser of hot lesbian sex." Noir goes "Got any cool, problematic tech? Oh! And ...

Finished this last night. Banger of a windup in the last 20% and a home run ending.

A perfect mix of cyberpunk tech & vibes, action, romance, hot T4T sex, trauma, and healing. ❤️‍🩹

MACHINES OF CONSENT

So I am blessed with an ARC of 'Machines of Consent' by the lovely @sophiajt.com, and I'mma make it everyone else's problem as I make my way through it.

So far the initial premise is very neat, and I wanna know more about this new character that doesn't seem to operate like everyone else. 🤔

The cover art of 'Machines of Consent - a lesbian transfemme cyberpunk novel' by Sophia Turner

The cover art features two women, one taller with a darker complexion and short brown hair and a blue jumpsuit/coverall and a shorter fair-skinned woman with green eyes and blonde hair wearing a rose blouse, white labcoat and a glowing light blue pendant.

The blonde is holding a datapad of some kind and looking skyward as she reaches for the pendant with her free hand. Both are standing back to back in front of a city backdrop in various shades of pink.

Something you'll notice with this one is that it's *heavily* t4t lesbian. And oh my goodness that's on purpose. That's something I desperately wanted when I came out and just could not find. So as my friends would say "write what you want to see in the world!"
