Part Deaux: Interview with an Angel

Gang, here’s your Angel. Last time. Next is Gabe.

—-

Av: Let’s take it back. Way back. Like an interrogation room in a Brooklyn precinct back.

Rafe: Okay

Av: Did you want him the second you set eyes on him?

Rafe: I wanted to put him off balance. He was a new face, I thought I could rattle him.

Av: Well. Job well done, ain’t it?

Rafe: I was the one rattled. I took off my sunglasses, and our gazes met. And I was fucked.

Av: In a good way.

Rafe: I didn’t think of that. I felt it, that thing, that pull, a...

More Deleted Scenes and Currying of Favor

Gang, I’ve come, one more ‘gain to beg for, and curry, favors. It’s time to nominate the best of the best in M/M Romance for 2013 over at Goodreads. I ‘Shitty First Name’ Avril Ashton, would love for you to nominate me for something over there. Anything.

Just sex?

I write romantic erotica. I like writing it and I hope readers enjoy the resulting stories.

Anyone who writes in this genre has to deal with the reactions. Do you recognise the “it’s just about sex” judgement? I bet you do. And truth be told, many available titles are just that and no...

Proper instructions are here. My books are here, if you need a refresher. And you have t...

Interview with an Angel

After much haggling, much negotiating, I finally managed to get Angelo Rafe Soto to sit for a while. With me.

Part One

Av: Rafe, may I ask why you said yes to being interviewed?

Rafe: You asked.

Av: Yeah, but you’re a very private gentleman. Part of you must have instantly rejected that request right off the bat.

Rafe: I didn’t have to think about. I’m supposed to be nice, so I’m being nice.

Av: And by that you mean your husband wants you to be nice?

Rafe: Yep.

Av: Alrighty, since I know you’ll do an...

I’m Going In! Soon

Gang, it’s that time. That time when I begin writing the last of the Sinners books. I’m excited. I begin Friday, and I’ll be doing my usual, posting snippets on FB and Twitter as I go along. I signed up for NaNoWriMo. Which my fellow authors are familiar with, but for you who don’t it’s a writing event that happens every November wherein we authors pledge to write 50k words during the month of November. We have to write a certain amount of words a day, I think 2500, to meet that goal.

It’s som...

Ramblings, Updates, and other Crap

Gang, I did it. I finally wrote the end on Till Betrayal. And not a moment too soon, because I was about to kill those fucking characters. So, yes, I have indeed written my very first ménage. Complete challenge right there, because it’s nowhere near my comfort zone so I was writing with a knot in my stomach the entire time. Not about the plot, but because my head was rebelling that there were three people getting it on in my story.

Just to be clear, I’ve recently begun to read ménage. It’s nev...

Wherein I Lose My Mind

Gang, I’m losing my mind.

No, hear me out.

So yesterday, release day of Make Me Blaze, was eventful. Release day and all it entails, then we got word that one of my step sons had been robbed, at gunpoint, on his way to school. So the man and I rushed to the precinct. Hectic and worrying stuff.

Everyone’s okay. My step son wasn’t physically harmed and he went back to school after everything was settled. So I went back home to do some promoting of Make Me Blaze, and the freebie for Gabe and Angel,...

#Releaseday for Make Me Blaze

It’s Release Day for Make Me Blaze. Gang, hope you like Dom and Smoke. They’re finally here. Read, rate, review. Spread the word, like you do so well.
