August Already!
Hi everyone,
I managed to completely miss the fact a new month had started, so August's newsletter is slightly late going up, but it's there now!

Thank You!
Huge thanks going out to everyone who voted for Jack from Call Me Sir, Boy! in All Romance E-books Summer's Hottest Hero Contest.
I've just found out he came Third! I'm really chuffed, and not just because I won a cool prize (A Sony E-book Pocket Edition), but because it really means a lot to me that people turned out and voted for one of my characters.
Thank you!
*Hugs Everyone*
Kim Dare.

New Cover, New Release Date + A Huge Favour to Ask!
Packing Leather's release date has been brought forward. It's now coming out this Wednesday - July 27th. Click on the cover to find out more.
But before you do that, I'd really appreciate if you took a moment to pop over to give your vote to Jack. He's currently languishing in last place in this round of All Romance E-book's Summer's Hottest Hero Contest and is feeling more than a little sorry for himself, lol.
He's not going to win his heat and go through to the final, but he still has a chance to come third! Click here to vote!

Vote Now!
Jack Bowen from Call Me Sir, Boy! has made it through to the semi finals in ARe's Summer's Hottest Hero contest.
In this round, he's up against Victor Jones from Amber Kell's Wooing Master Jones.
If you'd pop across and vote for one of the guys, that would be great! Just click on the banner below :)
In somewhat related news, Harland Rawlings has been pouting ever since he was knocked out by Jack in round 1. Now, Jack is pouting because last month, when I was taking dictation for their answers to this round's question, I let Harland go first and Jack had to come up with something different.
In an effort to convince the guys in my head to get along, here's the answer Harland Rawlings would have given to "What makes a man strong?"
Some people think strength and dominance are the same thing. They’re wrong. Some of the strongest men I know are submissives. It takes a hell of a lot of mental strength—not to mention a huge dose of courage—to willingly put yourself in another man’s hands and trust him with your mind, your body and maybe even your soul.
Picking yourself up after a bad relationship takes strength too. My subs name is Alastair, his ex-boyfriend was a complete bastard. But, somehow, Alistair still found the strength to let me into his life and try again. I don’t usually do the mushy stuff, but I’ll admit I’m as proud as hell of him. A weaker man would have given up on submission. Alistair didn’t.
As for physical strength—when I’ve got a leather cuff around each of Alastair’s limbs and he’s straining against his bondage, I don’t think anyone could look at him and see anything but strength. He’s all muscle, all determination to be the best sub he can possibly be. Even though he loves being tied up, when he starts squirming with his need to come, it takes some really thick chains to hold him down!

Mid Month Update
Hi Everyone!
It's a busy month this month!
I'm in the spotlight at TEB for the rest of July.
Click on the banner to check it out :D
Also, Jack Bowen from Call Me Sir, Boy! is through to the next round of ARe's Summer's Hottest Heros competition.
Click on the banner to vote for your favourite!
And, last but not least, Packing Leather now has a release date - it will be hitting the available now page at RP on August 10th!
Here's the blurb:
When Darren wins a trip for two to an exclusive holiday resort and invites his work buddy Jamie to share it with him, they are the only two men in the office who know they won’t be enjoying a typical lads weekend away.
Neither of them has any intention of chasing after girls—or even chasing after any guys other than each other. After months of subtle flirtation, Darren and Jamie are finally ready to do a hell of a lot more than stare longingly across the office.
They both know they’re going to get laid, have a laugh and maybe even fall in lust. But neither realises the weekend has other surprises in store for them—perhaps lust won’t be the only thing they fall in. Especially when one of them realises that the other man doesn’t just have swimming trunks in his weekend bag—he’s packing leather.
*Hugs*
