Free Short Story
Happy Saturday, all! I thought it'd be fun to kick off the weekend by posting a free short story here on Goodreads. It's M/M, of course, what I'd call D/s-lite, and features two characters (Sir and Nicky) who I hope you all will get to know much better in the coming year.
A couple years ago, I wrote about a dozen stories in this universe, including two longer ones (around 15K apiece) that I'm considering polishing up and submitting to a publisher. In the meanwhile, as I dust the short stories off, I'll post a few more of them here for you all to (hopefully!) enjoy. Some of them are much, much darker than others, and will probably push right past a lot of comfort zones, but this one, at least, is fluffy and feel-good, which is admittedly something of an aberration for me :)
I hope you'll check it out, and I'd love to hear what you think of Sir and Nicky and if you'd like to see more. Thanks all!

A New Sir/Nicky Fic
As promised, I've posted up a second Sir/Nicky fic here on Goodreads. It's quite a bit more intense than the last one (and significantly moodier :-p), so be forewarned.
In other news, I may have some exciting news at the end of the week. Then again, I may not. Cryptic, eh? :) Stay tuned for the news-or-not, and I'll try to post up another Sir/Nicky fic this weekend if I can clean one up enough to make it worthy of public consumption.

Writing is Good :-p (And kinda NSFW)
The last few weeks, all I've been doing is edits edits edits, no time or energy to write anything new. I'd forgotten how much I missed it until I sat down today to write my gift fic for the 25 Days of X-Mas...M/M Style stocking stuffer.
Four hours later, I'd plotted, written, and polished a 2,200-word Sir/Nicky fic called Pony Up. It's lite BDSM and--surprise surprise--pony play. I've never written (or engaged in) pony play before, but when my letter to Santa included this photo and mentions of a coil of rope found at his feet, that was where my mind immediately went:
Keep an eye out on the M/M Romance group here on Goodreads, where my story should be posted sometime around the second week of December. After that, I'll be sure to post it here as a free read with the other Sir/Nicky fics. I also finally sucked it up and submitted the Sir/Nicky origin story to a publisher, so hopefully there will be even more of them to share with you next year.
Special thanks to Jess for such wonderful inspiration and for getting my ass out of the editing chair and into the writing chair once more. Hope your gift from Santa is everything you wanted :D

Another Free (Super-)Short Story
Since my stocking stuffer fic can't be shared until December 10, I dusted off another Sir/Nicky fic and posted it here. It's super-short, about 330 words, BDSM-lite, and fluffy as a dandelion :D Have fun, and Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

HOT New Cover Art!
In the next little while, I'll be releasing a collection of BDSM short stories featuring Nicky and Devon (or Sir, to you :-p), the boys who've starred in the freebies I've posted here on Goodreads. This collection too will be free, at least for a while, and will comprise the freebies already posted, plus half a dozen or so new stories never before released. It's my intent to make it available as a download for whatever e-reader you might have.
Of course, to put out a collection, one needs a cover. I was quite fortunate to have the brilliant and talented L.C. Chase step up for this particular task. So without further ado, I present to you L.C.'s cover for my new collection, Sublime. Isn't she amazing? I seriously could not be happier :D

Free Ebook For Download!
Lots of exciting news this week, folks :) In addition to my new novel releasing on January 17 with Noble Romance, I've released a free ebook today right here on Goodreads!
Here, have a blurb:
Broadway darling Nicky Avery gives commanding performances on stage, but when he comes home at night, it's Devon Turner who commands him. Devon—that's "Sir" to Nicky, of course—owns Nicky heart and soul. And neither of them could possibly be happier.
Sublime explores the gift of submission and domination, and the love and trust that underpin a D/s relationship. The ten short stories in this collection (including six never before published) range from sweet and sensual to hot and hardcore, from cross-dressing to knife play, and so much more.
Dom or sub, curious beginner or 24/7 lifestyler, the stories in Sublime will tease and tantalize, arouse and thrill. And don't mind Devon and Nicky . . . they like to be watched anyway.
Sublime consists of ten short stories with the boys I hope you've come to know and love: Sir and Nicky. It includes six never-before-published stories, plus the three shorts I've posted here under my writing tab and the holiday stocking stuffer I wrote for the M/M Romance group.
And of course it features the amazing cover art I blogged about earlier this week. Visit the Goodreads book page to see it :-) And L.C. Chase, take a bow; you are one talented gal!
You can download Sublime in the file format of your choice on Smashwords. In about a week, the book should be available directly through Amazon, Sony, and B&N for their respective e-readers.
If you enjoy the free reads, please consider taking a moment to rate, review, and pass on to your friends.
