Ho Ho Ho

Tis the season for much ho ho ho’ing and Santa (in the guise of the fabulous Lou Harper) came early this year, bringing lovely prezzies — a new cover for last year’s holiday free read, “You Melted Me”:

Brian couldn’t resist playboy executive Leland Whitacre in spite of their employer’s strict no fraternization policy. Leland isn’t just his boss, though. He’s the son of the company’s CEO. And Brian has fallen in love. Hurt by too many stolen kisses and nooners at seedy hotels, Brian finally broke off their secret affair two weeks ago. Leland isn’t ready to let Brian go and he isn’t above seducing Brian — again — to give them both what they really want for Christmas: each other.

Pretty, no? Click on the cover above to get a free pdf of “You Melted Me” from ARe or get it on my website or at Goodreads. Best of all? Lou is very graciously working on a new cover for “The Importance of Being Denny,” too. She let me have a peek at the cover-in-progress and trust me, it’s bee-yoo-tiful. YAY! Keep an eye on my site, because as soon as the cover’s done and I have a chance, Denny will go up as a free read on ARe too.

In the meantime, why not take a gander at Lou’s newest release, Winter Warmers, an anthology with the awesome Clare London, Chrissy Munder, Josephine Myles and JL Merrow?

Baby, it’s cold outside! Beat the chill with Winter Warmers—a seasonal anthology.

Mulled wine. Butterscotch kisses. Hideous sweaters. Candy at the beach, or a trip to a sex shop in Amsterdam. And the man of your dreams, wrapped around you…

Winter warmers come in many shapes and sizes, from the tongue-in-cheek to the hot-as-hell. Enjoy a quintet of heart-warming tales of men loving men from Clare London, Chrissy Munder, JL Merrow, Josephine Myles, and Lou Harper that are guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face.

One thing’s for sure—it’s going to be a red-hot Christmas!

Check Winter Warmers out at ARe and Amazon today!

In the meantime #2, In the Red, a M/M BDSM mystery & my final release for this fall/winter, will be out in less than three weeks.  Special Agent Zachary Murdock faces his toughest assignment yet: bringing traumatized forensic accountant Brian Foster back to work — Ruthless terrorists trying to kill them doesn’t help. Nobody gets enslaved, raped or their brain chemistry altered by mutated crops. Astonishing, ain’t it? LOL! Keep your eyeballs glued right here, though, for a peek at ITR’s cover, excerpt and a fun pre-release, post holiday giveaway blitz. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter before New Years Day too — I’ll be giving a belated holiday prezzie to one lucky newsletter subscriber for ITR’s release on the 3rd!

And a concluding thank you to all — I, Omega and Collared both are hanging out on the Kindle Gay & Lesbian Bestseller list and have both earned their bestseller stars at ARe. O.O Wow. Awesome.

Hoping your holiday season so far has been very, very merry!

#SaturdaySnark: In the Red ~ I Don’t Want To Suffer

It’s #SaturdaySnark time again folks and glory days, I wasn’t drowning in work this week so I can play too — WOOT! I’m once again revisiting Brian Foster, my nutty & paranoid forensic accountant in In the Red, which I can finally announce a release date for, by the by: January 3, 2012. At Loose Id!

Brian’s eyes glittered with an intensifying wildness that made Zachary’s heart hurt. “I need light, guns, and sex.”

Zachary hauled Brian up from the floor. “Food.” Brian’s muscles tensed in stiff reluctance, but he allowed Zachary to guide him to the old butter tubs cannibalized for soup bowls on the kitchen table. “Then sleep.” He pushed Brian down into a waiting chair.

Brian stared long minutes, his eyes as haunted as the ghosts that the movie insisted roamed this stretch of land. “Landis is wrong. They’ll come for me, Murdock, and they’ll get me. Because Landis doesn’t believe me. Nobody believes me. They’ll get me because TFOS is looking the other way.”

Gut knotted, Zachary waved to the spoon.

“Why? They’ll starve me again, and if I’m already weak, I won’t take as long to die.” Brian snorted. “I don’t want to suffer.”

Happy Saturday!

#SaturdaySnark ~ at the gun range, In the Red

Time for a return to Saturday Snark, with many thanks to Marie Sexton for the snarkfest!

When Brian’s arms rose to aim his next shot, Zachary curved his arms around him, except this time he skimmed a hand under the thin cotton of Brian’s shirt so his fingers brushed warm skin. Silky to the touch, hard muscle beneath, Zachary stroked his sides, stretching a thumb to tangle in the coarse hair of his stomach.

Brian tensed.

“Take it easy, babe.” Zachary leaned to press his mouth to the crook of his rigid shoulder. “You’ll foul your shot.”

The smaller man snorted. “You expect me to keep shooting while you grope me?”

Zachary’s hand glided up Brian’s chest to brush his palm over a nipple.

Brian gasped.

“Yes.”

In the Red, Contracted with Loose Id

Back from the beach…

Hiya, guys! I’m back from my trip to the beach and OMFG, was that ever the most awesome week EVAH! Myrtle in off-season is just about perfect. The water’s still warm, you have acres of beach as your play land, no lines at the restaurants, everything is on sale and hardly no traffic. I had the hot tub to myself. To. My. Self. (Well, I let dh dip a toe — I’m generous that way.)

But now I’m home and back in bizness. God help me. 😉

Newsy bits…I, Omega‘s got a couple 5 star reviews at Amazon and is hanging around the Gay & Lesbian Top100 so YAY for that! Collared will be releasing in a month’s time which means the grand unveiling of the #GenAlteredCorn Contest of Woot is just a few days away. In the Red, my M/M BDSM mystery is with my editor at Loose Id and tentatively scheduled to be released in January. More about ITR soon!

Also, don’t forget to check out:

As for what’s in the works next for moiPlunder (the Spoils of War) sequel is back on the table, as is a Dystopian zombie apocalypse story. Have not yet settled on my third. (I work on  manuscripts in bunches.) For now, I’m wrapping up a short I started then didn’t have time to finish early this fall, set during the Northeast earthquake. Hee hee hee. If my husband ever reads it, I expect divorce proceedings or (at the very least) to spend a solid month figuring out where the man hid my underwear. Vengeful bastard. God love him. 😀

Be on the lookout for an excerpt of Collared soon…until then, Happy reading!

Are you afraid for your virtue? #SaturdaySnark!

Another bit from the snark-a-thon that is In the Red, my M/M BDSM mystery contracted with Loose Id:

Brian Foster was a beautiful fucked up mess.

Zachary wanted to wrap him in cotton so nothing would ever happen to him.

Zachary wanted to fuck him and promise nothing would hurt him again. Which was almost as crazy as the sneering blushes and Brian’s munitions stockpile. Probably crazier. Zachary laughed though, because as contrary and neurotic as the guy was, his puritanical outrage made Zachary feel good. He wagged his eyebrows, traced the line of his zipper with a taunting finger. “Are you afraid for your virtue, sweetheart?” When Brian chambered a round, Zachary snickered. “Maybe I should fear for mine.”

😉
