Saturday Blog Hop–Flesh Market #manlovesaturday
House of Manlove Blog Hop–click on the button to get to the main jumping off point.
And my contribution to this week’s blog hop, coming from Flesh Market, which goes on sale on Tuesday!. Leo’s deep undercover, and the bureau has snuck someone in to really check on them. And, to keep Julian from being sold to a customer. (Yes, Mauer will come back later. He’s too awesome not to. Some day, I’ll tell you the story of how he met his husband. And convinced his wife to let him keep him.
It’s complicated.)
DeGraff plucked the invitation from Leo’s hand and peered at it, rubbing the paper between his fingers. “Dowe, hmm? What did he say was keeping him busy?”
Mauer waved a hand in the air. “Some legal thing. I really didn’t pay attention to the details after he told me about the splendid parties you boys throw. And when he told me you’d obtained some previously untouched merchandise, well.” He leered and spread his hands. “I could hardly say no, now could I?” His accent was Boston snob with a hint of Louisiana redneck. “Now, if you’re uncertain, you can call Dowe, of course. Not that I think he’ll be able to answer. I believe he’s had to leave the country for a…sabbatical of sorts. Or”—he patted the middle of Leo’s chest—“you can have this delightful gentleman keep a very close eye on me for the duration.” He winked at Leo. “You didn’t think I remembered you, did you, Dale darling? How could I forget a man who refuses to come work for me?”
Leo frowned at him. What the hell was Mauer playing at? Damn the lack of communication in this operation. He was still trying to get his mind around the change in Mauer’s appearance. The man he’d worked with had been tough, one step above thug on the evolutionary scale. He could have joined any gang in any big city in the U.S. and not been looked at twice. Leo wondered what it had taken to get him to put on this character.
Because where Mauer himself was the antithesis of flaming, this character could set a house on fire just by walking past it.
Mauer watched him expectantly, humor warring with tension in his face.
Fuck it. Go with the flow. “You still have Meshkova working for you?”
Mauer’s smile widened. “He’s down in the car. Don’t tell me you two are still at war?” He turned a conspiratorial grin on DeGraff. “Dale here tried to arrest Henry once upon a time, when he was on the other side of the fence. And he’s such a stubborn man that he just can’t forgive Henry for refusing to let Dale put cuffs on him.” He threw a sly look Leo’s way. “I’d let you cuff me. Under the right circumstances.”

Bite Me Tender Is On Sale At All Romance Ebooks Today!
Hey, All Romance Ebooks has Bite Me Tender on for 50% off! (Plus a bunch of other books.) Seems like a perfect day to read about a witch and his werewolf boyfriend, while you hand out candy (and drink wine–don’t forget to check the link in the next post down for appropriate pairings. )
Bite Me TenderWitches & WolvesLevi is a werewolf. His boyfriend, and the love of his life, is a witch. After living together for three years, they decided to commit to each other and change Glyn into a werewolf. Levi hoped the pack would accept Glyn more readily as a wolf. Glyn hoped it would eliminate his erratic magic and erase the OCD it caused. One year later, they're still trying...
Levi can't understand why his bite won't change Glyn and he's running out of time to figure it out. His pack is being threatened by a larger one, he's facing dissension in the ranks of his own ruling council and Glyn's grandmother is poking her witchy nose into their relationship.
Under threat of a violent takeover, the council pushes another potential wolf at Levi, infuriating Glyn and adding weight to Levi's own doubts. Council machinations divide the two lovers, leaving both men questioning their lives, their love, and what they're willing to endure for each other.
Full moon is a time of power and change. It could be a disaster, or it could be the key to happily ever after. If they're strong enough to take a loss and make it a win.

A Perfectly Timed Blog Post For My Halloween
Human skull on old books near weight scales and ancient glass flasks
Pairing wine with Halloween candy. Since my costume is generally tipsy broad playing video games on the couch hoping no one knocks on the door so she can eat all the candy, this is very appropriate.Happy Halloween everyone! Don’t forget to treat yourself too!

Did You Know October 30th Is ‘Power Bottom Appreciation Day’?
Wow, there’s a special day just for Glyn. Who knew? (To be honest, Glyn probably did. And it may deserve a short story at some point. Because it’s right before Samhain, right? Very witchy time of year. Which would make it an excellent day for a witchy power bottom.)
I may have just bunnied myself. I can hear The Editor in Question laughing from all the way across the continent.
Happy Power Bottom Appreciation Day to all the talented bottoms in the world. If you have never heard of this holiday, you are not alone. Apparently, Power

Conversations With My Editor
Me: Just remember I’ll be in bed by 9. Exam tomorrow.
Editor: What time is it there?
Me: It’s almost 9, but I’ll be up for a bit* yet.
Time passes…
Me: Dammit, woman, say something. Or are you efoting?
Me: Uh, I mean editing.
Editor: I’m efoting.
Me: I think I’m keeping that word.
Overtired editing silliness.
* There was a page in the manuscript where I used the words ‘a bit’ four times. She later used it against me. Evil editor.

Cover luuuuuv
Imma just leave this here for a moment…
I don’t know the name of the cover artist yet, but whoever you are, you are da bomb. He/she took the image that I bought, and came up with something way creepier and way sexier than I could have ever imagined. I was a little unsure of it at first, but once I really looked at it, I realized it does convey a lot about the book in terms of tone. This book is dark, and uncertain, and I had no compunction about pushing my characters beyond their limits. And some people are going to hate me and give me one stars because of some of my choices, but dem’s the breaks. It’s a good book, if not an easy one.
So if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, this is part of what’s been keeping me away from the blog. I’m also working, and trying to start a second degree in Computer Science, which took a bit more time than I expected. But things are rolling more smoothly now, and soon it’ll be winter and I’ll be locked in behind piles of snow with nothing to do except harass you folks on the interwebs.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
