Room at the Edge nommed at The Romance Review Awards

Just heard thatRoom at the Edge has been nominated for Best GLBT-BDSM at The Romance Review Awards.

Voting is from March 18-31st here.

Thanks to whoever nominated it!

Secretary

It's taken over a week but I've finished an editing runthrough of Secretary, the m/f BDSM epic I co-wrote with three friends in 2004, and posted it to AO3 so it can be downloaded in ereader formats with a single click, all 657,000 words of it.

I can't promise no typos, but I found a few and it's generally tidier and more consistent.

Reading it in one go like this I was blown away by how intense it is. Poor Faith and Wes! They went through so much to get to their HEA, but I'm sure they thought it was worth it.

So the final, definitive version of Secretary (for now ;-)) is here:

Secretary

Update

Alexa and I have finished the sequel to The Square Peg and sent it off to our editor at Loose Id. It's called The Broken Triangle and as you might expect if you've read the first book and remember how it ends, it tells Vin's story after the classmate he fell for in high school walks back into his life.

I'll keep you posted on publication dates (assuming it gets accepted, of course!).

Audio of 'Rough Edges'

Some years back, I contributed a short story to a Torquere anthology Toy Box: Paddles called 'Rough Edges'. Toy Box: Paddles is OOP now and the BDSM group on Goodreads have done a podfic of a shortened form of Rough Edges as part of a series of audio recordings they're doing.

If you'd like to listen to it, read by Sirly Eric, it's here if you're a member of the group, and on Youtube as well.


Story summary: what happens when the cop who pulls you over for speeding on a bad day is also your Dom?

Many thanks to BookAddict for organizing this and to Sirly Eric for the wonderful job of narrating.

For Kingdom's Sake

This story originally appeared in Torqued Tales and it's now out of print so the copyright is back with me.

It's pure romance with a bit of magic, a retelling of the Cinderella story from the POV of the prince, who's in love, not with Ella (how could he be? They only danced together once!) but a duke at the court.

I decided to save it and share as a seasonal thank you to everyone who reads, reviews, and comments on my books here. Your support is appreciated, your feedback invaluable, and your insights show me elements in the books I'd never considered.

However you celebrate, I hope all goes well and that the New Year is a happy one.

Room at the Edge release

I'm thrilled to announce that Room at the Edge, the sequel to Room at the Top, is now available from Loose Id, co-written by Alexa Snow and Jane Davitt.



Three sexy men, one hot relationship. In Room at the Top, devoted sub couple Jay and Austin went looking for a no-strings attached Dom and ended up falling for Liam, who, much to his surprise, turned out to be the Dom of their dreams. But their happy ending was only the beginning of their story.

Now Jay is begging Liam to turn up the heat with fire play and Austin wants them all under one roof, no matter what people might think. Caught up in the difficulties and pleasures of their new relationship, it's easy to miss the way they're moving dangerously close to the edge of falling apart, not deeper in love.


Many thanks to our editor Serena Stokes for her invaluable guidance, to Valerie Tibbs for the lovely cover, to all at Loose Id for their help in getting the book out there, and as ever, as always, to Alexa for being a joy to write with and an unfailing source of inspiration.

The book can be purchased here

O Come All Ye Kinky

Want to get it early and benefit the charity part of the royalties go to even more?

Here's how you can get get your hands on O Come All Ye Kinky (with a story from me inside it :-)) before the official release date.

If a reader pre-orders the book at Riptide's website, they can download it Friday night, November 30, at midnight (so, technically Saturday morning). If they go to the Riptide website over the weekend, it'll be available for purchase and download, whether or not they pre-ordered. And it's available at all the vendors on Monday, December 3 (actual release day).

Remember, if readers buy directly from the website, more money goes to the charity because we're not paying third party vendor fees (75 cents more, in fact -- $1.80 to charity from direct sale, approximately $1.05 to charity from third-party sale). Riptide offers PDF, mobi, ePub, and HTML. The mobi format can be sideloaded onto a Kindle, the ePub format can be sideloaded onto a Nook (and most other devices, too).
