Something a bit different – Jealousy by Jenna Galicki

Announcing a blog hop for this intense erotic novel that combines a M/F romance with a M/M one.

Jealousy

Blurb:

When Heather Cooper married Peter, she thought that she had finally found someone who could handle the inseparable bond she shares with her gay best friend, Justin Perrotta. It’s only a matter of time, however, before jealousy rears its ugly head and Peter’s true feelings emerge. He starts drinking and his erratic behavior threatens their marriage.

Burned by an ex-boyfriend, Justin refu...

Saturday Recs

Saturday so time for another recently read gem from my book heap – it used to be a pile but the dog knocked it over.

This week I’d like to recommend “You Are Here” by Chris Delyani.

I suppose I could describe it as a contemporary romance but it’s very much more than that. It tells the story of three very different men – Peter, a quiet young man who desperately wants to be an artist, Miles, searching for an ex-lover, and Nick, the best looking man anyone anywhere has ever seen. Over the course...

New Release – Lessons for Suspicious Minds

The latest adventure for Jonty and Orlando, Lessons for Suspicious Minds,is now available from AmazonUS, Amazon UK, ARe and all the usual places.

I’ll be chatting to Charlie next Tuesday about the book and the inspiration for it.

Blurb:

An invitation to stay at a friend of the Stewart family’s stately home can only mean one thing for Jonty Stewart and Orlando Coppersmith—a new case for the amateur sleuths! With two apparently unrelated suicides, a double chase is on.

But things never run smoothly...

Guest Post – Colin Falconer

Love at first sight

Edward II and one of the great love stories of the Middle Ages

Colin Falconer

It is love at first sight.

I knew from the moment I laid eyes that this would be forever. Men like my father, like my cousin Lancaster sneer at such conceits but I know it to be true and my life will bear out the truth of it.

You say you believe in love. What would you have done in my position?

If you love someone you want to give them the earth, don’t you? I did not possess the earth but I possessed a...

Hump Day Hook

It’s Wednesday – Hump Day Hook Day – time to whizz round the web looking for excerpts of fiction. Believe me there are some doozies. Click on the pretty picture to get to the list.

Still here! You’re brave.

Okay – Sir Patrick FitzRoy, very much the worse for wear, has woken up and is being chaffed by Phelim, his valet, who knows something that Pat has forgotten about.

Lord Patrick FitzRoy levered himself up into a sitting position. Far from being the handsome devil that Aubrey had described, he...

New Release – Wake Up to Shine by Ciaran Dwynvil

Wake Up to Shine

Mortal pets create only problems. But if your lover is Belial, the Prince of Trickery, the Lord of Lust and the Antilight, the chances that he will stop growing his collection of playthings are slim. Adhemar knows it, and the only way to win in this situation is to accept a bet that makes his stomach clench.

The stakes are high but so is the prize, and if he plays his cards well, he will show Belial what little allure mortals hold. Then his demon will resign his plays. Adhemar...

Guest Post – Melanie Tushmore.

My guest today will need no introduction to fans of rockstar based novels, but Melanie’s latest release is a little different. Goblins comprises two stories set in a fantasy world where magic is a reality and the creatures of mythology roam the world having a good time – or not as the case may be.

Here’s Melanie to tell you a little more about her world.

Goblins: Witchcraft

The seventeenth century was the age of witchcraft.

Witchcraft, as it was then, was taken a lot more seriously than it is tod...

Saturday Recs

I shouldn’t really be using this graphic because, yet again, I forgot to sign up for the hop – my brain is swiss cheese – but I thought I’d make my recommendations anyway. Click on the picture and you’ll find the list of other authors, all of whom post excerpts of their fiction.

Meanwhile, I’m going to talk about other people’s excellent fiction.



It’s a while since I’ve recommended a graphic novel so here is The Desert Peach by Donna Barr. Yes that is a Nazi uniform. Set during the Second Worl...

My guest today is Larry Benjamin, Bronx-born wordsmith for whom writing is a way of life. Author of romance What Binds Us and short story collection Damaged Angels, Larry has agreed to visit today to talk about his new release Unbroken, a book with a very special meaning for Larry. I’ve been lucky enough to read it and can say that it impressed me very much.

Thanks, Larry, for visiting and for answering my questions.
