I have the release date, so now it feels just a little more official. Man Whore will be available through Silver Publishing starting on March 12, 2011. Huzzah!

This is the first of a series titled, Personal Demons.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the stories in this series. Fallen was fun, without a doubt, but this series is darker and grittier, and I am just so darn excited to work with Silver Publishing again on this new release (and hopefully the entire series).

Here's the blurb:

Morgan is happy as the local slut. His nights fall into three categories: one-nighters, boy toys, and just friends. So when a new favorite boy-toy, Adam Medina, gives him an ultimatum – real dates or no sex – Morgan moves on without argument. Even as Morgan struggles to purge the man from his thoughts, life seems destine to taunt his whorish ways.

Morgan isn’t the only one fascinated by Adam. A new demon clutch has moved into the city and they have their sights set on harvesting the blood and souls of its inhabitants. Morgan is ready to learn about relationships, but he and Adam may not survive long enough to find out if love is in their future.

Good morning!

I don’t usually put those two words together in one sentence, but it is Friday. It’s all of five degrees outside, but the weather has been fairly mild up until yesterday, so I can’t really complain. Rain is predicted by Sunday to boot. Welcome to New England.

Man Whore edits are in my inbox. I’m thrilled, beyond excited, to start working on them this weekend. I was on the cusp of starting book two in the series just to visit these boys again, but I don’t want to be writing that while editing the first one. I’m bound to confuse characters at different points of their lives. Edits will be a fun visit to prep me for that second book.

In other publishing news, my short story, Bound By Love, has been accepted by Silver Publishing for a Valentine’s Day release (actually 2/12/2011, but FOR the holiday celebration). They will be releasing two anthologies for the holiday as well – one M/M and one M/F. Keep your eyes out for them.

Speaking of Silver Publishing, to celebrate their 100th release, they are giving away a Kindle! Get more information here: Silver Publishing contest

While you’re there, check out some of those amazing releases! For example, Oracle by RJ Scott placed in the Rainbow Awards for cover art and received an honorable mention in the paranormal category. (Congrats RJ, and cover artist, Reese Dante!) We have new authors trying to get noticed for the first time and seasons authors whose names you’ll recognize, homoerotic and heterosexual romances, short stories and longer novels. Take a browse, and you might bulk up that TBR pile.

Silver Publishing will be releasing two Valentine's Day anthologies - one M/M and one M/F. On February 12th, 2011, they will be releasing some additional short stories with a Valentine's Day theme, separate from the anthology, and that is where I come in. My short story, Bound By Love, will be one of those stand-alone M/M releases.

With Man Whore being released during a week that I'm without internet (release date March 12th), I'm offering up a contest to win a copy of my book, and to enter, all I'm asking is a shout out to help promote the book while I'm out of contact.

It's easy, and the more that participate, the better the chances that I'll award more than one copy. Plus, every person who participates helps to donate to two wonderful charities.

Read the details on my blog: Staking the Muse: Win a Book and Help a Cause!

Also, from March 6th through March 12th, Silver Publishing is offering a 30% discount to a second selection when you buy a New Release or pre-order a book from the Coming Soon page. So, you could pre-order Man Whore and get 30% off of Fallen.

(Okay this works with all of Silver's books, but you know you want to read Man Whore!)

Have a great two weeks. I'll miss you all!

Ciao,

A ghost of my past haunts me already, so running into another in the same graveyard where it all began is almost more than I can stand.
