Vote for Me! KISS ACROSS TIME Is Up For Book Of The Week.

My Teal Ceagh erotic paranormal romance, Kiss Across Time, was tapped for Book Of the Week at Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews late on Friday, along with a 4.5 Star review that caught me completely by surprise.  Voting is open only for today (Saturday) and Sunday.  If you're feeling kindly, perhaps you could slip over and press the button for me?  Here's the link.

The review itself is great:

I think you'll be as entertained and affected by the chemistry between the characters as I was...

Bloody Pirates!

I'm considering retiring from writing fiction for money.

Here's why.

About a year ago now, when I was still "in the closet" as Teal Ceagh, I wrote a post about ebook piracy and file sharing.

Wow, was that a mistake.  I think the post lasted about eight hours before the venom and vitriole and toxicity that poured back at me was just too overwhelming.  For the first time in my five years as a blogger, I took a post, comments and all, down.

After the last round I was going to keep my mouth shut on t...

Excerpt Time – 4 Star Review for BEAUTY'S BEASTS from Sensual Reads

And we're back to Thursday (already!) and Sensual Reads gave my erotic urban fantasy romance, Beauty's Beasts, a lovely 4 star review, which seems like a good excuse for an excerpt.

Another fantastic story from Teal Ceagh who has a talent for bringing fans supernatural stories with a twist.  The story with Damian, Riley, and Nicholas is dynamic and I found myself pulled in to the tale immediately.

Sensuality Rating: Sizzling

A 4 Star Reader Review for BEAUTY'S BEASTS! Pam Earns Seven Entries In the Big Prize Pack Contest.

Pam Sinclair contacted me yesterday to tell me she'd posted a fabulous reader review of my erotic urban fantasy romance, Beauty's Beasts, up on Amazon and could she please have her brownie points now.

It is a great read I recommend to any readers who like their paranormal/urban fantasy romances on the steamier side. The plot was well done and I believe set up things nicely for the next installment. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite between Nick and Damian. Both characters were extremely...

Hero Moment of the Week – Denys Finch Hatton in OUT OF AFRICA

The movie Out of Africa just celebrated it's twenty-fifth anniversary, but like Robert Redford, it ages well.  I rarely watch it anymore because I think I have the dialogue memorized.  For a movie made in 1985, it had some startling ideas about how a woman should control her own destiny.  Considering that the subject of the film was fighting to control her own life during and just after the first world war makes it even more remarkable.

When you add in the fact that this is a biographical...

Beauty's Beasts is a delightfully, wicked and erotic book. I loved every minute of it. If your looking for a book that has everything a reader could want then this one is not to miss. Teal Ceagh delivers action, adventure, and just enough mayhem mixed in along the way to keep the reader guessing at what will happen next. I loved the...

New Submission Call for Holiday Anthology For Ellora's Cave

Here's a perfect opportunity to write for Ellora's Cave.  They've opened submissions for a new Christmas anthology, but this one is a bit different from their usual anthologies.  Okay, this one is quite a bit different.

Here's the formal guidelines:

Romance University

If you're really keen to learn to write erotic romance but just don't want to do it the traditional way (trial and error and sweating it out via progressively better manuscripts), then you might like to take a peak at the Romance University.

This site popped up in one of my Google Alerts so I had a wander through their site for a while.  They have some names I recognize attached to the organization, so that's a plus.  And they cater to erotic romance, too.

I did not look into pricing, or...
