Jan Irving's Blog, page 5

Finished The Viking in My Bed and other news

I just now finished The Viking in My Bed which was such fun to write. It should be out in early April, knock on wood.

Meantime, I'm beginning to think up ideas for a free story I'm going to write for the TEB newsletter for March. I'm thinking I'd like to challenge myself with a menage.

Release day for The Wizard's Boy and His Landlady

Today is a double release day for me, both stories featuring unusual BDSM elements. The Wizard's Boy and Subspace Collection are both out.

To celebrate, I have two special interviews out on blogs today. I'm at Menagerie Authors and I talk mainly about writing A Cowboy in Ravenna and my new one A Viking in My Bed Monday with Jan . If you're curious about those upcoming books, take a look.

And I did a special interview focusing on The Wizard's Boy which is out today. Take a look at Simply Sexy Stories with Jan on Nichelle Gregory's wonderful blog.

The Wizard's Boy, Subspace available and other news

I have to say this is a really beautiful collection to do an author proud. I liked reading the dedications of each story, they added in quotes from reviews. And I love three zippy little stories in one book.

The Wizard's Boy and Subspace with my story His Landlady are now available for preorder from Total E Bound. The books are out on Monday.

The Wizard's Boy and Subspace Collection .

I worked on them, they each took time and passion and attention. I'm pleased they will be out.

Looking for Validation and book giveaway

I dropped by Lisabet Sarai's wonderful blog today to talk behind the scenes about writing against the tide. And I'm offering a copy of Subspace to a reader who comments there. Here is the link: Looking for Validation .

Meantime, I'm working to finish The Viking in My Bed. The force is strong in this one. Hopefully I'll hand it in this week.

Loving Kindness reviewed

I stumbled on this review of Loving Kindness recently.

The BDSM elements were fascinating and the interactions between our main characters compelled me to turn each page. I would recommend Loving Kindness to anyone looking for a very nice BDSM story set in a fascinating world--Jae at Dark Diva's Reviews.

Wounded Cowboy reviewed

Characters from the previous stories made a brief appearance in Wounded Cowboy continuing the theme of werewolves finding and claiming their human cowboy mates. Jan Irving's Wounded Cowboy exhibits a blend of exceptionally arousing romance along with a precarious dilemma for the community--Chocolate Minx, Literary Nymphs Reviews.

I liked that she mentioned Charlie's healing through restorative yoga! Read the whole review here .

Character interview with Luka of Wounded Cowboy

Amy Valenti had an unusual blog idea--interview one of your recent characters, so I did that with Luke from Wounded Cowboy.. Take a look here: Introducing Luka .

Review for A Pastry Princess

Ms. Irving has delivered a tremendously fun and sexy read! Between the pages of A Pastry Princess, Ms. Irving has penned a story chocked full of murder, sex, intrigue and comedy. Readers will enjoy watching Seri blossom into both her sexuality and into being her own woman. At the same time, they will be in tears over Tahir's and Ismet's antics. At one point, I had to stop reading because I was laughing so hard. The mix of Tahir, Ismet and Seri balance each other well. Tahir is the very alpha, protective and demanding type. Ismet is the gentler mediator, with a flair for both fashion and love play. Seri is quiet, determined and slightly frazzled with a temper to match Tahir's. I enjoyed every minute with them. The sex is both abundant and HOT!

Thanks to T.S. Peters for a thoughtful review at Just Erotic Romance Reviews. You can read the full review here .
