Take It Like a Man Out Today
Official blurby-blurb:
They say that size doesn't matter, but for some, size is all that matters. If that's you, Take It Like A Man has got you covered! We're ready to stretch you to the limit with big boys and big toys galore.
In "Just What the Doctor Ordered" from Lorne Rodman, doctor Gregg has a prescription for Sam to cure what ails him. Dylan Mackenzie leads a secret double life, but an unexpected encounter at the private BDSM club he frequents is about to change everything in Mychael Black's "Just a Little Bit More." In "Too Good" by T. Strange, Josh is thrilled when a hot guy goes home with him, but he's not sure that Roy is telling him everything.
Casey is resigned to playing piano in swanky hotels and bars, until his ex, Derek, turns up in BA Tortuga's "Monkey Suit." In Lily G. Blunt's "The Perfect Size for You", the well-endowed Ty takes on an inexperienced client and breaks the first rule of rent boys: don't get attached. And Hammer Club fans will be thrilled to see Marcus and Jim joining Billy and Tanny in Sean Michael's "The Games We Play."
***
My story features my favorite trope, former lovers reuniting. That one gets me every time. Casey and Derek are a wee bit broken, but I like to think they fix each other.
The book’s available at Torquere Press and will be on Amazon and ARe soon!
Much love, y’all!

Authors I Love: Andrew Grey
God, this is fun.
The first time I met Andrew I thought, there is no way any human being is this dear. No way.
But he is.
He’s dear and clever and joy made flesh.
No, really. Seriously. Andrew is JOY.
Also, he writes a ton and you can read his pleasure in his books, you can read how he is in love with being alive, how he loves romance and the act of writing.
(Also, J wanted to add that his D has a little evil in him and that she ADORES him.)
So, go love on his books and know that yes, he’s that dear. Truly.
Much love, y’all!

Be afraid.

Six Sentence Sunday -- Serial Psychic (WIP, suspense)
From a suspense novel I’m working on:
***
“I don’t… No kids. They’re so…” Her feet were moving her forward, though, fingers reaching for the body. They registered wetness first, about the name the scent of copper pennies flooded her nose.
Sweet Jesus.

What I'm Reading this Week
Hrm. Well, I read lots on the airplane, but all the reading at home is the same...
Let’s see. I’m still reading Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris in the front room. The Crying Girl by Glen Ebisch in the bedroom and Mistresses of the Dark in the bathroom and Knitting Yarns (edited by Ann Hood) at the kitchen table.
:D
Much love,
BA

Authors I Love: Kiernan Kelly
Okay, there’s a lot I can tell you about Ms Kiernan.
I can tell you that she’s wickedly funny, that she loves horror even more than I do, that she’s a kick ass artist, and she’s funny as all get out. Smutty, filthy, charming and she’s got the best smile in the history of smiles.
I can tell you that periodically my girl looks at me and says, "I think maybe you and K were separated at birth."
I love how her stories are edgy, I love her vampires, I love when I’m reading her and she makes me cackle right out loud. I love that she writes from the bottom of her heart.
The big thing that I’ll tell you about her, though? She’s real. I honestly believe that, if I needed her at 3 in the morning and called her, she’d pick up the phone.
Her publicist rocks pretty hard, too.
Go. Admire the glory.
Much love, y’all.
