Draft(s)!

Heh. Clearly, I am no good at this blogging thing; I keep writing books instead...

Anyway. Just an update: last month, I sent my editor a new Amaranth novel, and we wait to hear what he thinks.

And last week, I wrote a novella. 20,000 words in eight days, which is finger-numbingly fast for me. Also, this one's a straight contemporary m/m romance, without the hint of a kink in it. Aww. Whether it's any good, I do not know; that's why we have editors, to tell us these things. The poor boy now has t

Whoops...

Sorry, folks - didn't mean to fall silent for so long. I was in hospital for a while there, and then my main computer blew up and was hospitalised itself for two long months. I still had the laptop to work on, but, um - *confesses* - I couldn't remember my LJ password, so I couldn't actually log on here.

But I'm back, I'm sorted. That won't happen again.

Quick catch-up for you, books-wise, as people keep asking about a sequel to Dark Heart. There are, of course, three answers: yes, no, and maybe.

Another review!

This time, "Dark Heart"'s been noticed by Fallen Angel reviews. You can read the whole review here. Money shot:

"Thom Lane invokes deep feeling from the very first page and ... the main character, Tam, is a very loveable character."

The "..." in there is because I cut the phrase "even though Dark Heart is hard to read", because I'm really not sure what she meant. She said the book was well written, so it's not that. *shrugs*

Review!

"Dark Heart" has been reviewed, in "Literary Nymphs"! Four and a half stars, and you can read the whole review here.

Money shot: "If you enjoy a bit of adventure and erotic sex mixed with your magic, then you should enjoy Dark Heart."

It's out!

Yay, my book is published! Dark Heart is available now from Loose Id, for a mere $5.99. In all sorts of different formats, so there must be something that will suit.

Tomorrow, I'll post up an extract to try to lure you in (sheesh, I am so obvious...); today I'm just basking in the simple happy pleasure of it.

Oh, and I have my first fan, and my first feedback! ("I just loved Tam, his personality just shined through so much... I really could just see him in the story... and I really LIKED him... an

What you see is what you get...

Hi -

I'm Thom Lane, and I write erotic fiction.

Specifically, I have a book coming shortly from Loose Id! It's called "Dark Heart", and it's a gay bondage fantasy, which in code-letters I guess would go m/m, BDSM, LGBT. If there's a code sequence for "it all takes place on a secondary world where slavery is commonplace", I don't know what that is.

I will post more about this ("you don't say, Thom...!"), but for now, here's the cover: the lovely luscious cover, from Anne Cain...
