All About Toppy
I feel like I've been neglecting Toppy—a.k.a. Sebastian—in the lead up to the release of Frat Boy & Toppy. The release, by the way, is two weeks from today, March 26th. When I first started FB&T, I didn't plan on using Sebastian as a POV character. But he ended up with this weird quirk I [...]

Frat Boy & Toppy Available for Pre-order!
As you may or may not know, I have a new book, Frat Boy & Toppy, coming out with Riptide next month. It's a pretty light-hearted contemporary, a bit on the kinky side. The good news is that it's available for pre-order, starting today. The bonus is that today, Valentine's Day, you can get an [...]

Personal Taste, Public Responsibilities & Discrimination #Rom4All #LGBT #RWA
You know what I hate in my romance? Non-consensual sex for titillation. Dubious consent is also on my short list of things to be avoided most of the time, in most situations. That said, I will read both non-con and dub-con when necessary: someone has asked me to offer an opinion on their book; I'm [...]

Let's Discuss…Snark
I have been a busy, busy girl lately. Well, most of December and the first part of January. The last week or so? I've been taking a little writing vacay. Frankly, it's making me nuts. Thank God I have some news to share, and maybe once I share it I can get back into the [...]

Ma Friends're Winners, Too.
So, I have friends. Weird, I know. Some of these friends were nominated for or won some M/M Romance Group's Readers' Choice Awards (my brag post was yesterday, about me winning a couple things). Today, I get to brag about my friends. Beginning with a complete and utter fangirl moment for Josh Lanyon. Squeeeeeee! Josh [...]

Wahoo!
I had a really good evening Saturday. A couple weeks ago I posted about 18% Gray and Whitetail Rock being nominated for some awards at the M/M Romance group on Goodreads. Last night was the awards chat, and I took home a few from it… And look! Shiny medals have been bestowed upon me and [...]

Six Degrees of Lust
Taylor V. Donovan's next book in the By Degrees series is out today! It's exciting because Six Degrees of Lust is the big one, baby. It's humongo, like, over 120k. She also happens to be an amazing writer, and yes, a good friend of mine. (As for me? I'm writing like a fool, trying to [...]

The Fix—New Whitetail Freebie
I have a new freebie I uploaded today. The pdf is available on my blog, http://annetenino.com, and the epub is available on Goodreads, The Fix. It's also available for free on ARe in those and some other formats.The Fix is the second book in my Whitetail series, and it also features Nik and Jurgen.
You know what? I'll just share the blub with you:
Confident almost to the point of arrogance, Jurgen never worried about his boyfriend leaving him until he overheard Nik telling his best friend he wants to move out of town. That's when the macho cop realizes that maybe asking Nik to move back to tiny Whitetail Rock—where he was tormented when he was younger for being gay and looking different—wasn't Jurgen's most brilliant idea. Now he's on a mission to find a way to fix things so Nik will stay. Which should be no problem because he's good at fixing stuff, right?
Nik isn't sure what he was thinking, moving back to his hometown after graduating with his MFA. Jobs in his field are non-existent and reminders of some of the worst times in his life are abundant. But Jurgen lives inWhitetail Rock, and Nik is willing to put up with a hell of a lot to be with him. Except maybe Jurgen's own efforts to "fix" something that's not broken...
---------
The next book in the Whitetail series (that I happen to be currently working on) will be Too Stupid to Live (working title, of course), and it will feature Sam.
