New Release

Hound Dog and Bean

by B. G. Thomas

Description:

There’s been little love in H.D. “Hound Dog” Fisher’s life since the death of his beloved mom when he was a boy. Bounced around the foster care system, he ran away as soon as he could… and took the foster dog with him. As far as he’s concerned, only dogs have no ulterior motive, never hold a grudge, and offer unconditional love. Now he helps run a no-kill shelter and leaves relationships where they belong: in the back room.

The Problem Of Choice

The Problem Of Choice.

Interesting post from Sam Starbucks on the importance of the benign critic. Favourite quote: survival as in the “I didn’t see that water buffalo coming” sense.

Today in the Comfy Chair – Erin O’Quinn

My guest today is Erin O’Quinn, whose male male romances are both literary and erotic.

Many thanks for visiting, Erin. Here we go with the interview.

Can you tell me a little about yourself?

Hello, Elin, and thanks for the opportunity to expose a bit of myself in public. I feel a little naughty, showing my undies like this. The avatar you see here is one I use on purpose, since it’s a tad androgynous. I’m a woman who writes tellingly of men.

I’m a frustrated scholar, with a few degrees from th...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Lucy Felthouse

My guest today is Lucy Felthouse, a fellow Brit from Derbyshire in the UK and a very busy woman! She writes erotica and erotic romance in a variety of subgenres and pairings, and has over eighty publications to her name, with many more in the pipeline. These include several editions of Best Bondage Erotica, Best Women’s Erotica 2013 and Best Erotic Romance 2014. Another string to her bow is editing, and she has edited and co-edited a number of anthologies, and also edits for a small publishin...

Saturday Recs

The holidays! I hope you all had a grand time, didn’t get too hungover and Santa brought you exactly what you wanted. Especially if he brought you books!

By my count it’s a month since I last signed up to the Seductive Studs ‘n’ Sirens Blog Hop, a weekly event where writers of LGBT fiction display excerpts of their work. Most of the authors are very competent and successful writers of erotica, particularly of fiction with an element of kink to it so click the link in the little graphic over to...

Merry Christmas

I’d love to offer an excerpt of something Christmassy but I’ve never written anything myself so here’s a bit of A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas.

It was on the afternoon of the Christmas Eve, and I was in Mrs. Prothero’s garden, waiting for cats, with her son Jim. It was snowing. It was always snowing at Christmas. December, in my memory, is white as Lapland, though there were no reindeers. But there were cats.

Patient, cold and callous, our hands wrapped in socks, we waited to snow...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Kate Sherwood.

My guest today is Kate Sherwood, intrepid horsewoman and multi-talented author of M/M and M/F romance who is just dipping into some YA projects as well. She is here today in celebration of her new release, The Fall, which will be available tomorrow!

Welcome Kate and thanks for visiting today.

Elin : Can you tell me a little about yourself? For instance, do you have to have a day job as well as being a writer?

Kate : I do have a day job – a fairly demanding one. But it has good vacation time,...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Ashlyn Forge

My guest today is Ashlyn Forge, one of the most secretive authors I have ever met. But, as the About page on her website says, she is too busy producing new stories to do much of anything else.

Welcome Ashlyn and thanks for answering my questions.

˜˜˜

When you aren’t writing, is there any other creative activity you enjoy? Have you ever written about it?

Aren’t writing? I only write.

Can you name any author/authors, past or present, who have been a great influence on your work?

I love Terry Pratch...

Guest Post by Dean Pace-Frech

My guest today is Dean Pace-Frech, who has a brand new novel out – Disappear With Me.

~~~



Thank you for having me today! I am new author, L. Dean Pace-Frech and my second novel, Disappear With Me, was just released on December 6.

In 2006, a co-worker shared with me that one of her bucket list goals was to write a novel. That comment awakened a desire in me that had been buried since I was in the fifth grade. After a visit to Pea Ridge National Military Park near Pea Ridge, Arkansas, my characte...

Saturday Recs

Happy Saturday!! If you click on the picture to the left it will take you to the SSnS blog hop page where you can read snippets from LGBTQ fiction authors. Since I am a rebel – bwahahahaha – I recommend other people’s work instead.

I’ve tried to read a bit less this week, because I’d got to the stage where seeing was getting to be an issue, but what I have read has been OH SO GOOD.

Mahu by Neil Plakcy has been on my TBR list for ages but this week I just happened to have casually dropped into...
