About this author

Raised on a steady media diet of Monty Python, classical music and the visual arts, Anne Tenino rocked the mental health world when she was the first patient diagnosed with Compulsive Romantic Disorder. Since that day, with her trusty psychiatrist by her side, Anne has taken on conquering the M/M world through therapeutic writing. Finding out who those guys having sex in her head are and what to do with them has been extremely liberating.

Anne's husband finds it liberating as well, although in a somewhat different way. He has accepted her need for "research", and looks forward to the benefits said research affords him. He thinks it's kind of cool she manages to write, as well. Her two daughters are mildly confused by Anne's need to twist Ken...more


I have a new book out—Turning Tricks—releasing in less than four weeks, and I haven’t posted on my blog in forever. Hopefully you’ll be happy to know that it’s largely because I’m either editing or writing like a fool. Because, you know, I am. Like. A. Fool. My shame comes from the lack of recent [...] read more »

“Sam. I've got news for you. Not every childhood trauma can be healed by finding the right penis."

Sam looked devastated. He opened and closed his mouth, eyes wide, then suddenly slumped back against the railing, unable to support himself anymore. "You mean," his voice was barely a whisper. "All those romance novels lied?”
Anne Tenino, Whitetail Rock

“He made me pick a safe word." Nik peeked between his fingers. Sam's mouth was hanging open.

"Oh." Sam's voice was a whisper. More of the throat clearing. "What did you pick?"

Not the question he'd been expecting. Nik looked up at Sam from under his hand.

"Lemonade."

"Lemonade?" Nik nodded. "Do you like lemonade?"

"Does it matter? Yes, I like lemonade."

"Shouldn't you have picked something you didn't like, to make sure there were no, um, inadvertent exclamations at an important moment?"

He dropped his hand and stared at Sam. "Who screams out 'lemonade' in the middle of sex?"

Sam blushed. Nik was momentarily grateful for his dark skin. "You'd be surprised," Sam mumbled.”
Anne Tenino, Whitetail Rock

“He turned to Matt and gave a huge smile, one hand on her withers. James reached out and pulled Matt to him, and they stood there in a little circle. It felt disconcertingly like… a family reunion. Matt turned away from James‟s bright smile and looked at Miz in something akin to horror. Was she their… child? Miz nipped him. Hard. While snorting horse mucus all over him. Damn thing couldn‟t even blow her own damn nose. Would she ever grow up?”
Anne Tenino, 18% Gray

Anne Tenino I know, weird, huh? I was surprised.

Amara Hi Anne! How is it we aren't friends over here? I thought we were. lol. Either way, nice to see you here. :D

MandyM *whispers* Woo Hoo!

Anne Tenino Check back tomorrow, Mandy... (but you didn't hear that from me).

MandyM Just snooping around your profile page to see if there's any news about upcoming releases. Don't mind me...:)

Thorny LOL! Hi, Anne! :D

Okay, I don't.

Anne Tenino No you don't. Once when the kids were little (littler) someone asked them what their daddy did and one of them said, "He goes to meetings."


message 21: by Marleen

Marleen I want your husbands job.


message 20: by Anne

Anne Tenino LMAO Totally forgot. The husband even had to go see them on a business trip (I don't know how he gets himself into these things) and he made a big deal out of it when Roy got eaten.


message 18: by Anne

Anne Tenino Someone got eaten by a tiger? A composer?

Marleen Anne wrote: "If Jurgen's Siegfried, does that make Nik Roy?

Who was the one that got eaten by the tiger, again?

Not missing much with Wagner. Unless you like bombastic operas. Hitler was a big Wagner fan....


message 16: by Anne

Anne Tenino If Jurgen's Siegfried, does that make Nik Roy?

LMAO, sorry, couldn't resist. I don't listen to a lot of opera (Wagner's opera, right? Not ballet?), and it's been years since I listened to a lot of classical. You're making me miss my Tchaikovsky...


message 15: by Marleen

Marleen Anne wrote: "Oh, jeez, I never even thought of that. LOL"

We all have different twisty brains, obviously. You know, Wagner is kind of fitting, considering Jurgen's physique. I'm sure Wagner would think he'd make a great Siegfried.


message 14: by Anne

Anne Tenino Oh, jeez, I never even thought of that. LOL


message 13: by Marleen

Marleen Anne wrote: "Hey Marleen-

There shouuld be an entry for it -- it's just hard to find since there are about a million books with "the fix"The Fix

You know, every time I read Jurgen's last name I'm hearing Wagner. 'Götterdämmerung' and all that.



message 12: by Anne

Anne Tenino Hey Marleen-

There shouuld be an entry for it -- it's just hard to find since there are about a million books with "the fix"The Fix


message 11: by Marleen

Marleen I enjoyed The Fix! Now you need to make a goodreads entry for it, so I can tell everyone I liked it!

I am very excited about your new Taskforce book, but after The Fix I am also excited about Sam and Ian. That should be fun! Just wondering though how a guy named Jurgen Dammerung ends up with a cousin named Ian.


message 10: by Anne

Anne Tenino I know! Someone in my writing group just told me. I never win anything. I'm kinda befuddled by it all, truth be told.

Hey, Marleen, did you see that I'm going to have another Task Force book out in May? It's a short, sort of novella length, but I'm excited. :)


Marleen Ooooh Anne! Congrats on winning the Wildfire shopping spree at ARe!


message 8: by Anne

Anne Tenino YAY! You're back! (((big huge, breath-squeezing hugs)))


Thorny Hey lady who writes scorching sex scenes that inspire couples ;-)

Anne Tenino LC, where are you flying off to? Thanks for the hug!

L.C. *flyby tackle hugs* :-D
