Coming Soon!

The people have spoken, and they have demanded more Damian & Jamie-boy.  Well, ask and you shall receive.  The sequel to "Drain Me Dry" will be out sometime in the next few weeks.  It is currently in the editing process.  It is a 12,000ish word crime and sex drama called "Addicted to the Bite."  As you can see to the left, "Drain Me Dry" has gotten a cover update to reflect the series, yes SERIES, Deadly Liaisons.  Book 3, tentatively titled "Daybreak" will be out sometime in the spring, or as soon as I figure out what it is about and write it.

In "Addicted to the Bite" Jamie-boy decides he needs more sex and violence, and goes looking for it at the popular vampire night club, Sanguine Moon. He finds Damian there, but the vampire is a little too preoccupied with a series of dead bodies and a persistent cop to find the time to give to the needy teenager.  If Damian can't give him what he wants, Jamie-boy is going to get it somewhere else.

Contains: m/m, masturbation, blood play, oral sex, anal sex.

New Story: The Beauty and the Beast

This story is a little hard to label. Technically it is not BDSM--but it is.  Yeah.  Sort of. It's sex, just read it!

HERE for US
HERE for UK
(also available everywhere else on amazon, just do a search for me)

Description:
The Beauty is a dominant...but so is the Beast. Nathan invites Kate to dinner with one thought in mind--to ask her to marry him.  Their like personalities struggle for control.  Will the beast be tamed, or will the beauty be devoured?

Short story. 4300 words.  M/F, explicit sex, power exchange, very light bondage.

A funny note about this story--I named the characters Kate and Richard, not even thinking that those were the names of the main characters of Castle.  Clearly my inner fanfic writer is trying to tell me something.  (Castle and Beckett are begging for a kinky fanfic treatment.)  So of course I changed the name to Nathan.  :)

New Freebie: Saturday Night

"Saturday Night" is now available to download on Smashwords for free.  Since I do not yet have a m/m freebie listed this title will stay free...FOREVER.  It is about Charlie, a small town cop, and a very pleasurable run-in with ex con Jake.  It involves handcuffs. :)

Nanowrimo is going okay.  5000 words behind, but that happens.  Gave up on my paranormal romance and am now writing Regency smut.  Jane Austen is rolling in her grave. :)

New Story & Nanowrimo

I'll be releasing a new story in the next few days.  It's a m/m story called "Saturday Night" which is not a particularly fascinating title, but there are handcuffs.  :)  Its about a cop who pulls a guy over and gets a little more than he bargained for. I wrote if for an anthology last month but missed the deadline.  It's been languishing on my computer with hopes that another call would crop up, but I don't see that happening any time soon.  So, "Saturday Night", coming out as soon as my copy editor gets off his butt and double-checks my grammar.  

I'm thinking about bundling it with "Brian is Gay (and so am I)" for a limited time as an incentive to buy.

And Nanowrimo starts in a few hours! I'm doing a paranormal romance between a werewolf and a witch set in the Dead End Streets universe--the same world as "Drain Me Dry."  I'm excited to write about the werewolves because they are pretty different from most weres.  The characters are Stella Child--a witch who is trying to find companionship in a world where she keeps her powers a secret even as vampires and werewolves wander out in the open--and Max is a wolf rebelling against the constraints society has put on him and his kind. They meet on accident, or fate, and Stella is pulled into the were subculture...and a murder investigation.

So, busy month!  I'm also working on a novella and a full collection of erotic fairy tales.

A Post on Cover Design

I don't buy my covers.  Sure it would be great to be able to pay a professional designer for a cover, but these are all one dollar short stories, that frankly I don't sell many copies of.  I can't afford to buy a cover for every single one of them.  So all of the covers are my own work.  To tell the truth I think some of them look better than the 'professional' covers on some of the anthologies I've contributed to.  The art on Fraternal Devotion for example is...iffy.  The cover of Riding the Rocket is downright scary.

Not that I'm some brilliant graphic designer.  I think the covers for 'Boy' and 'Shoes' are lacking immensely.  'Cherry Bomb' is my favorite which is amusing because its my least favorite of my works that I have up here.  I really like 'Drain Me Dry' but there are a few problems with it.  The first is that I wanted a completely different cover image.  A bare back is so easy and cheap.  The problem is, there really is no such thing as a free stock image that features kinky gay vampires.  The second is that it shrank very badly on most sites for some reason.  Here the image is clear and easy to read, but its kinda blurry everywhere else unless you blow it up.  Ugh.

I know I should be trying to design my covers so that they are fairly uniform, branded, as it were.  But I'm still learning what works and what doesn't, and I'm limited by the art that is available for free.  For example, I wanted a gender-neutral bare back and full cover image for 'Boy'.  I couldn't find any--the one I ended up with was a woman in a dress and I had to crop around all of the clothing, leaving me with a tiny image that couldn't be blown up.  So I had to improvise.  It's not perfect, but it's not bad.  The font isn't over-used and it is fancy while still being readable.  The sub-heading font is what I use on most of my covers for my name.  I know simple is better when it comes to this kind of thing.

I have another story coming out soon.  It is one of those very little plot mostly porn stories, but the cover I've designed doesn't look like porn at all.  So I think I will have to dump it and try again, even though it is a very nice cover:

Free Always: Boy

I want to offer more permanent free stories on here, so here's one from the vaults--"Boy."

This is pure erotica with not much in the way of plot.  A woman picks up a young inexperienced butch girl at a bar and takes her home to "be her boy."  It's pretty gender-queer as it is two lesbians role playing as two men.  If you would like to read it as a trans story you certainly can.
