New Online story

I bought Guys in College by Matthew Haldeman-Time from Lulu.

At the end of the collection was a story called "In This Land". The story wasn't complete but Matthew has more on his website. Think Pharaohs and m/m sex and very involved story lines.

The story time is during the Dynasty of the Seven Siblings. The first child is Pharaoh, no matter what the sex is, who marries a Queen and a King. Each of the seven siblings have a specific job to do except that this time there were eight children.

The story so far is that the Diplomatic sibling is looking for a King for the Pharaoh. That makes it sound too simple. Check out his website, you can read the first three chapters and a couple of shorts for free. If you like the story, you can pay (paypal) $1.99 for 30 days of access to the rest of the story. There should be four chapters added a month.

I've already had to get up twice because my butt fell asleep and wasn't happy about having to interrupt the story :)

Happy Wednesday

Back from vacation

There are over 500 photos to go through now, here are just a few.



This is one of the views everyone goes for, and I mean everyone. We're at the Watch Tower and the viewpoint was so crowded we almost missed the shot. Luckily, we wondered over to the other side where it wasn't paved. Awesome isn't it.

This is Angel's Window. There a couple of view spots along this trail. The one where S was standing, the top of Angel's Window and at the end where S caught the lightning. The storm was on the other side of the canyon but the static was so bad our hair was standing on end.











There are two strikes here, one is more horizontal and across the clouds.

It's a lot harder writing in the car than I thought it would be and with all four of us sharing a room, there was no late night writing. Except one room had a dimmer switch and I had an idea....An idea that has led to a flow problem that I've got to fix before writing any new scenes. grrr


I was checking over old blogs. I didn't read any of the print books I bought the week before vacation, not even the two I took with me. As for the ebooks? There were actually ten purchased before the trip that were ready to go and half were read before we left! Three are still waiting for me to find the time. I'm still finding it hard to believe that I haven't bought a new ebook since I got back. There are several out there, I just haven't bought them yet. Must not feel well ;)

Just finished reading...

Fireflies
by Ally Blue

A Sidhe warrior in exile. A young man with powers he's only beginning to understand. In their hands, the fate of two worlds.

Another book where I can't tell you anything because I want to share it all. I was delayed getting this up (finished Friday) and have already read it a second time.

There is a warning: this title contains the following: explicit male/male sex, graphic language, violence, and the inappropriate us of plants.

Trust me, the inappropriate use of plants? HOT

Check out Ally Blue's website. A direct link to Fireflies can be found here and the book can be purchased at Samhain Publishing

I've been a busy girl this week, Ellora's Cave had three m/m books out. I think Masked Submission was my favorite of the three. PhD student, Professor, Dom Club, secret identities, betrayal, sacrifice....check all of them out. Then again, Pledge Slave started out with a bang and just kept on going. Finnegan's Promise was sweet (okay, and hot)

I picked up five ebooks and 2 print books to take on vacation. Plus my two WIP and a line edit that I need to turn in ASAP when I get back. I'm hoping for a job to pay for all the books I buy!

Just finished reading...

Founder
by Jodi Payne

This one was heart-wrenching for me. I wanted to shake Aubrey! Jodi sucked me into the story, I kept reading, waiting for the HEA, hoping it was coming up soon. I rejoiced for every day/mile Aubrey went without...and if I keep talking, I'll tell you too much & blow the story so I'll grab some words from Jodi's site...

"Founder, my debut solo novel brings you the story of Aubrey Jacek, a tough, seasoned cowboy and barn manager with a great love of horses and a problem with the bottle, and Kelly Ayers, the handsome younger farm hand who gives Aubrey a reason to clean up his act."

More can be found at Jodi's site and the book can be purchased at Torquere Press

Todd McCaffrey book signing

A new PERN book was released on January 25. I was one of the lucky ones, the bookstore put it out early so I got it on the 19th!

Todd was at Barnes & Noble on Friday (2-4). There were only about 40 people there so the question & answer period was very personal. He read chapter 17 (?) to us. Some there hadn't read the book yet and some were still on the original Dragonriders trilogy.

I didn't read his whole website before the signing, he wrote part of Dragonlover's Guide to Pern. I have the book but didn't get it signed this time because I didn't know! dang, dang, dang.

It was very cool and I promised him I would keep my whining for the next book to a minimum!
