My God It's Monday

And Cyber-Monday at that. I've got to admit, shopping online is a lot less of a hassle than shopping in person...

One of the neat things about this time of year in New Mexico is the weather is quite similar to the weather back home in Ottawa. Some days have been cooler here, some days have been cooler there, but on the whole, the average has been around the same. It's funny because you'd think it would be much warmer here, but it isn't. Now, January and February are likely to be a different story. I do believe Ottawa will definitely be much colder. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Today's been a word day, doing bits and pieces that need filling out and handing in, getting some edits done and prepping a couple of stories for submission. The first of the month always has a book if not two due in, so month's end always winds up being busy.

Smutty Advent starts tomorrow! Have I mentioned lately how much I love this tradition? Well, I do. I'm a big fan of advent calendars of all sorts and I love that I create one for my readers :)

My favorite kind of chocolate is currently chocolate with caramel and a pinch of sea salt. It can have nuts, but I prefer it to where there's just enough chocolate to hold the caramel together. Purdy's has these sweet georgia browns -- and the mini ones are especially nice.

Lots of things are available tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday and I shall squeal about all of them as they become available.

Okay, something smells great in the BA/Julia kitchen. I'm going to go find out what.

Happy Monday!

Suddenly Sunday

Still having a blast with BA and Julia, BA's momma and the doggies (of which there are currently four!). It's great visiting with friends and spending the holidays. It's even better when the people you are visiting totally get that the writing isn't something that goes away just because it's a holiday.

The next Mannies is coming in about three weeks. I'm very excited to share Jack and Dan with everyone :)

Smutty Advent starts in two days. It's one of my favorite holiday traditions.

I have had all the turkey possible. Turkey done in the oven. Fried turkey. Turkey sandwiches. Turkey soup. Turkey salad. I am about turkey-ed out. I'm pretty sure I don't even want to see it at Christmas this year.

In the past, I've had lamb roast, not my favorite, though I like it well enough. There's also ham, which I have to be in the right mood for. I do like a roast duck or roast goose, but there's not a ton of meat on either. Roast beef is also an option and I really like it. Hell, what about pigeon? Nah, I don't think I want to eat anything that seems to be a rat on wings ;)

New Boy comes out on Wednesday! Along with Window Dressing, Unto Us the Time Has Come and Comfort and Joy. It's always exciting to have something new come out.

Who has Christmas decorations up? I'll have to wait until I get home for mine.

I can't believe it's actually December in two days. Which means just thirty-one days until the end of the year. Damn. 2015, I hardly knew you.

Okay, this has been a totally, extremely random post.

Happy Sunday!

Stories of Holidays' Past

With December barrelling down upon us once again, and while waiting for this year's holiday stories to be available, I thought I'd share past Christmas stories I've written and where to find them.

The Swag Man Delivers

Orpheus “O” Drummond, a recent Ph.D. graduate, is visiting Australia after defending his thesis, and being dumped by his boyfriend. While alone on the beach in Australia was not how he’d originally planned on spending his Christmas, when O runs into Gage, he figures Santa knew exactly what he was doing.

Gage is traveling away from his Texan home, trying to “find himself.” When he finds O instead, he doesn’t think things could have worked out better. Together Gage and O celebrate Christmas in the best way they can think of.

Guns, Tinsel and Leather

Undercover cop Brian “Boom” Simpson is working the week before Christmas so the guys with families don’t have to. He’s on the hunt for a motorcycle club that’s running guns. His work leads him to The Rusty Tailpipe, a biker bar just outside of town where the Bloody Sundays hang out.

Raptor Evans, owner of The Rusty Tailpipe, loves his life. He owns a bit of land, and his bar, where he doesn’t put up with any trouble, running a tight ship with the help of his trusty baseball bat. When Boom comes walking in, the drool worthy stud turns Raptor’s world upside down, in more ways than one.

Can Boom and Raptor’s fledgling relationship survive Boom’s job, the Bloody Sundays, gunrunners, and Christmas?

Kono has a lot of fantasies about being a submissive, while Alec likes to watch and Swan is the best Dom he knows, so a week together fulfilling Kono's fantasies seems like just the ticket.

New Holiday Stories

I have four holiday stories coming this December. Here is a preview.

Window Dressing

Will Finn and Jared recapture what they lost in time for Christmas?

Finnegan Gables moved away six years ago, leaving behind his friends, the city he grew up in, and his lover, Jared McNaughtly. They weren’t ready for a commitment then, but now Finn’s back and hoping to rekindle their Dom and sub relationship…if he can find Jared, that is.

Jared’s not had an easy time of it since Finn left. His one attempt at staying in the lifestyle resulted in a stalker, forcing him to change all his contact information and move to a new apartment. He’s disillusioned enough to have left the lifestyle altogether.
A chance crossing of their paths bring them together the week before Christmas. Can they move past their separation and everything that’s happened in the last six years to find a Merry Christmas together?

Currently on pre-order, will be available for download/sale on December 1
All Romance Ebooks
Amazon


Unto Us The Time Has Come

Last Christmas, Kenn Greyson gave husband Chris Martenson an ultimatum—spend more time with the family or we’re leaving. He never expected Chris’s reply would be “then leave,” but that’s exactly what happened, and Boxing Day took on a whole new meaning.

Separated for nearly a year now, both men are miserable apart, and coping the best they can for the kids’ sake. With Christmas just around the corner, a new conflict arises: neither man is willing to forego Christmas morning with their children.  Chris finally suggests they spend the holiday together at the house and, to his shock, Kenn agrees.

Armed with the knowledge that he’s been a stubborn idiot, but that perhaps he can change and begin to repair their relationship, Chris takes steps to win his husband back. He just hopes he can get Kenn on the same page before Santa comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve.

This book is a part of Dreamspinner's Advent Calendar and therefore will be available in it, and also on it's own at Dreamspinner, and the distributors.



Comfort and Joy

Lawson Sanders has been forced to take some time off at Christmas as he’s been working through holidays and doing overtime on the job while his husband has been deployed. He finds it easier to ignore the loneliness if he’s busy. He’s filling the time with Charity work—wrapping presents, serving food, anything that will keep him busy this Christmas.

Steven Ford’s been working as an army field nurse overseas for the last two years. He’s gotten used to barking out orders and not being home. He’s just mustered out though and is home to surprise his husband Lawson just in time for the holidays.

Just before Steven left, this Dom and sub officially got married, but they never got a honeymoon and now they need to rediscover how they fit together. Can Steven and Lawson regain what they’ve been missing for the last two years and reconnect for Christmas?

This one will be available on December 1 from Resplendence and at the distributors shortly after that.


Five Golden Beads

When kinky gifts begin arriving, Shay knows it’s time for a visit from his very own special elf.

Once a year, from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve, Shay gets a visit from one of Santa’s elves. Their magical time together might only last a week, but Shay anticipates it the entire year and throws himself wholeheartedly into the kink-filled week. The only way it could be better would be if Harper could stay longer.

When November rolls around again and the kinky gifts start arriving, Shay can only hope that he’s been a good enough boy this year to be granted more time with the elf he loves. Will Santa be able to deliver this year?

It will be available on December 11 at Changeling.


So those are the new Christmas stories this year. I'll do a post later about Christmas stories past and of course, Smutty Advent is coming! Look for that starting on December 1.

Smutterday - The New Boy (Iron Eagle Gym 1)

This one is coming out on Friday! It's the first in my new BDSM series Iron Eagle Gym.

The New Boy

Lance Packet just got a contract to shoot an erotic BDSM deck of cards; the only problem is finding models. So far everyone he’s interviewed thinks he’s looking for sex for hire. Then in walk three perfect examples of men: Tide and his friends, Tyrone and Bran.

Tide Germaine is a model and a Dom. He and his best friend Tyrone opened The Iron Eagle Gym as a place for gay men in the lifestyle to work out, do scenes, and congregate with like-minded men. The modeling is just another job for Tide, but it soon turns into a grand seduction as Tide falls for the shy, self-conscious photographer. The problem is Lance doesn’t believe he’s in Tide’s league, and he’s not at all sure about the Dom and sub thing.

It’s not going to be easy, but Tide’s going to have to convince Lance he belongs at Tide’s side as both lover and sub.

smutty excerpt:

Suddenly, Tide was kissing him again, lips pressed to his, tongue teasing its way between them. Lance pushed into Tide’s body, his belly tightening. Tide’s arms went around him, bringing him to the edge of the chair, the kiss never breaking.

This was a mistake. A bad mistake. A wonderful erotic mistake.

Tide could kiss. He was a fucking master of kissing. Tongue invading his mouth, Tide tasted him. He reached out, hands finding Tide’s shoulders. His legs bracketed Tide’s torso, his cock hard and throbbing against the solid abdomen.

This couldn’t happen. It couldn’t. No way.

But it was. Tide was kissing him and Lance was letting it happen. No, he wasn’t just letting it happen, he was beginning to kiss Tide back. He rocked closer, moaning deep in his chest. Tide’s solid hands moved down to his ass, cupping it, and it was like his ass was made to fit in them.

This was a dream, right? A perfect, hungry fantasy?

Tide’s groan filled his mouth, vibrating inside him. He wouldn’t have imagined that.

Tide squeezed, lifting him slightly, rubbing him against that fantastic body.

He had to stop this. He had to. This was insane.

Sucking on his tongue, Tide kept the kisses going. Insane or not, it was happening.

“Master, look at that. It’s like magic.”

Oh God. Bran and Tyrone were there. He’d totally forgotten they weren’t alone. Lance pulled back, groaning deep in his chest in mortification and in the loss of that mouth.

Tide cupped his face. “Don’t you dare be embarrassed.”

“I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t. This is my job.”

“No.” It was Tyrone this time. “This is more than your job. Even Bran and I can feel what’s going on between you and Tide.”

He was so fucked-up, so confused, and the only thing that made sense was Tide.

Tide took another kiss, this one slow and gentle. “You’re stunning, Lance. I can’t help being attracted, and I don’t even want to try.”

“I don’t know what to do now,” he whispered.

“That’s why I’m the Dom, darling.” Tide gave him a wink, hands soft as they moved over him.

He let Tide help him stand, move to the recliner in his bedroom. He thought he heard Tyrone murmur that lunch was on the way, but Tide’s hands on his body might have been interfering with his hearing. And then Tide kissed him again and he really didn’t care.

Tide held him, their lips clinging, breath mingling, and he was happy, warm. Safe. He wasn’t sure why he thought that, but he did. Tide could kiss, too. God, it was stunning how good he was at it.

Smutterday - Dom, Sub, and Boy: Beginning

The last smutterday excerpt I did with these guys didn't include Ting, so I thought I should do one that did :)

Dom, Sub and Boy: Beginning

Grant and Mark have a great relationship. They’ve been in a Dom/sub relationship for a number of years, they’re in love, and they each need what the other has to give. Mark is an ER surgeon, brilliant and driven, while Grant is a successful businessman in his own right.

When Grant sells off his company and retires in his mid-thirties, things change. He and Mark are as committed as ever, but Grant now has so much more time on his hands while Mark is busier than ever at the hospital. With nothing else to occupy him, Grant yearns for a twenty-four-seven boy, while Mark worries he’s not enough for his passionate Dom. Could bringing in a third be what they both need to round out their lives?

Mark’s best friend Ting just might fit the bill, but how do Grant and Mark bring the topic up with each other, let alone Ting himself?

smutty excerpt:

“I know we said we wouldn’t rush you and we won’t. But Mark needs to go to work soon and if you wanted to love on him…” Grant’s words trailed away.


“I want to, but… Mark, do you want to?” Ting asked.

“I don’t want to push you into anything.” God, yes, Mark wanted to.

“We’ve told you what we want, Ting. The next move is yours,” Grant insisted.

Ting looked at Grant, then pushed into Mark’s arms, kissing him hard, like Ting hadn’t in years. Mark wrapped his arms around Ting automatically, the kiss fierce and needy and stunning. Ting moaned, fingers digging into his scalp, rubbing hard.

Grant moaned and Mark’s prick felt diamond hard, his balls aching. Ting rocked against him, rubbing hard and fast enough to start a fire.

“I want you to suck Mark, Ting,” Grant ordered. “I want you to make him shoot.”

Mark groaned as Ting immediately wriggled off his lap. He reached for Ting, his head spinning.

What was he doing?

“Yes, like that,” murmured Grant. “Open his pants and take out his cock.”

Mark spread his thighs, looking at Grant. Grant smiled at him, eyes full of love.

Then Grant looked down at Ting. “Suck him, Ting.”

Mark shivered. That was Grant’s ‘“Master voice’”.

“I’d love to.” Ting took him in, sucked him in one fell swoop. Grant’s pleased moan echoed his own. His balls drew up, the pressure huge, sharp. Fine.

“Mmm. You’re going to push him over quickly, boy,” Grant told on him. “He’s primed for you.”

Ting stroked his thighs, the touch warm and feather light. Grant moved to kneel behind Ting, leaning over him to kiss Mark. He grabbed his lover, pouring his desire and tension into the kiss. Ting was caught between them and sucking him like a pro. There was no way to last. No way. So Mark didn’t try, he let himself go, shooting into Ting’s hungry mouth.

Ting swallowed him down, moaning. Mark gasped, sucking in breaths.

The Mannies are coming! The Mannies are coming!

The next Mannies Incorporated novel is at the editor, and I have just gotten the cover back from Kris Norris!

It's called Three to Get Ready and I think it's a great addition to the series. Also, I have a new series logo - it's on the right hand bottom side of the cover.

I haven't done the blurb for it yet, but this one is about Jack and his son Nathan, who is legally blind. Jack is about to have twin baby girls via a surrogate and the lady who has been helping out with Nathan is leaving to go to school in a masters program, so he needs someone new. Enter Dan, sent to Jack by Mannies Inc. Imagine Jack and Dan's surprise when they first see each other and realize that they were college lovers!

I'm planning to have it out mid-December. It'll be on both Amazon and All Romance Ebooks.

I'm excited!

Happy Monday!

Suddenly Sunday

Hello from New Mexico!

I'm here with BA and Julia after a crazy travel day that took twice as long as it should have thanks to bad weather in Chicago. We sat on the runway in Ottawa for over an hour and a half because of strong winds in Chicago having grounded planes and they were having a backlog. Thanks to having the United ap, I knew that my connecting flight was over two hours late, so I knew I would still be able to catch it. Then, just before I switched to airplane mode, I got notice that it was cancelled altogether! Arg.

So once I was on the ground in Chicago (and we wound up being in a holding pattern around the airport for 15 minutes because they were back down to only one runway - the pilot told us if we had to wait more than 20 minutes, we were going to have to divert to another airport and refuel! Luckily that didn't happen.) So, finally in Chicago, I went and stood in the huge line at the service desk. I had been automatically booked for a flight that left Chicago for Denver at 5:45pm and then from there to New Mexico at 10:30pm! I wouldn't be getting in until 11:33 pm local time and I had been up since 4am my time, which would have put me at awake for 22 hours... They did put me on standby for the 10:15am to Denver (it was currently almost 11am). The flight to Denver was severely delayed, though -- they were waiting on a plane to get in. In the end, I had plenty of time to go sit and wait for that one. And I did get on it.

Once in Denver, the next flight to New Mexico left in 30 minutes from when I landed, and I didn't have a seat on that one, either. So I knew I had to run. Once on the ground I found out I had to run from B24 to B82... I kid you not. I got to the gate to find out that that plane was also delayed, this time by about 45 minutes, so I could have walked, got on the stanby list (there were many, many of us) and did not get on the plane (only 2 did!). So, the next flight to New Mexico left at 6:45 and was all the way back at gate B31. At least this time I didn't have to run, I had plenty of time to get there and the folks at B82 promised me that they'd transferred the standby list to that flight.

This plane was the first one that was on time all day and amazingly, my name was called and I made it on the plane.

So I got into New Mexico around 8pm, utterly exhausted, and so happy to see BA and Julia and get out of the airport.

Good things about the day: I did get here, all the people at United were helpful and polite on what had to be a shitty, shitty day for them as every single flight that flew through Chicago was affected. Both planes I flew standby on, I wound up in the exit row, which meant I had extra legroom and it didn't feel so crowded, even though I was in the middle of three seats both times. And my checked bag actually made it to New Mexico before I did and was waiting for me at their service desk in the baggage claim area. And lastly, I got here safe and sound.

I'm hoping for a totally boring trip home!

Now we're gearing up for Thanksgiving week, figuring out what we're going to have to eat, where we're going to go, telling stories and laughing a whole lot. This visit is always good for my soul.

Although I can't believe this is already day five of my time here!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend :)

Smutterday - Dom, Sub, and Boy: Beginning

Hot off the presses, it's Dom, sub, and Boy: Beginning, my first self-published new novel! I really hope you like this one!

Dom, Sub, and Boy: Beginning

Grant and Mark have a great relationship. They’ve been in a Dom/sub relationship for a number of years, they’re in love, and they each need what the other has to give. Mark is an ER surgeon, brilliant and driven, while Grant is a successful businessman in his own right.

Could bringing in a third be what they both need to round out their lives?

Mark’s best friend Ting just might fit the bill, but how do Grant and Mark bring the topic up with each other, let alone Ting himself?

smutty excerpt:

For the longest time Grant simply stared at him, then he smiled and said “Hey” back before bringing their lips together.

His soft cry surprised Mark, torn from him. Finally he was home and he could need.

Grant’s tongue pushed between his lips, storming his mouth and owning the kiss. Hungry man. Mark held on, meeting that need and strength head on. Grant dragged his hands from Mark’s shoulders down his spine to his ass. He loved how those big hands cupped him, lifted him and rubbed them together. Jesus, his lover was strong. It never ceased to amaze him.

Those amazing muscles were wrapped around him, rubbing up against him.

“Need.” Mark groaned the word, driving against Grant’s slick muscles.

“I know. It’s about time we shared an orgasm again.” Grant’s voice was all growly.

“God, yes. It’s been eons.” Mark knew you couldn’t die from blue balls, but still.

Taking his mouth again, Grant pushed him up against the wall of the shower, and rocked their bodies together. Mark went with it, cock sliding against perfect, slick skin. Biting his lower lip, Grant increased the friction between their bodies, one hand wrapping around his hip tight enough to leave bruises.

“Jesus. Please.” Mark was going to blow. Bang. Just like he was an untried kid.

“Because it’s been so long, you’re allowed to come.”

He wasn’t sure even Grant’s will could stop that now, but he’d go along with the offer to come. “Thank you.”

“Show me, then. Show me how much you’ve missed me these last few days.”

Oh, now, that was a pleasant demand.

Grant slammed their bodies together and Mark grabbed the back of Grant’s head, their kiss going breathless and wild.

That amazing pressure on his hip increased. He had two days, right? He could chance a little bruising.

“Come on, baby. Give it to me,” Grant demanded.

Grant gave Mark one sharp, sure smack, and the burn sent him over the edge.

“Oh, yeah.” Grant moaned and jerked against him, hot brand of a cock rubbing along his belly.

“Love.” He bit Grant’s bottom lip, tugging.

Jerking against him, Grant came, the heat spreading between them. 

There. There it was. Better.

Their kisses didn’t end, but they eased, became…more intimate.

Smutterday - Shifter Rescue: Claws

Shifter Rescue:: Claws

Life is never dull when you've become a dragon shifter's keeper.

Now that Drill is Az, the dragon shifter's keeper, it's time for them to move out of the basement. Being the owner's brother has some perks and Pirou has renovated their rooms to include everything that could make a dragon shifter and a master happy. With a place of their own, Az and Drill are free to explore each other and their special relationship.

The slavers who first stole Az still want the dragon they lost, though, and when they attack, it exposes Az and Drill to the rest of the residents at the Old Tavern Club, including Drill's brother and club owner Drongo. Can Az and Drill survive the exposure?

It's available here at Changeling Press


smutty excerpt:

Drill’s smile turned into laughter. “Yes, Az. Coming, and then eating.”

“Coming and going and eating and swimming!” He cheered. His keeper was so good to him.

Drill muffled the sound with a kiss, hand sliding down to wrap around their erections. Both at the same time so they squished together. Az rolled, the motion easy, necessary.

“Yes, like that.” Drill met his movements, both of them working with each other.

His eyes crossed, Az bit the air, so excited. Drill’s fingers rubbed over the top of Az’s cock, pushing slightly into his slit.

“Keeper. Keeper. Keeper.”

“I’m right here with you, Az.” Drill’s words sounded like a promise.

“Aches.” Ached and made Az tingle.

“Aches so good.” The touches continued, Drill’s hand moving up and down along their cocks, and one finger slid against his slit on each upstroke.

Az shook his head, nodded. This was new. Drill chuckled and kept up the touches. Az’s hips shook, side to side, trying to get more sensation.

“No, my dragon. Just this.”

“Keeper…” Oh. Oh, big.

Drill nodded and squeezed them tightly together. The touch came to Az’s slit, again and again. “Soon,” his keeper told him. “We’ll come soon.”

“Soon. Big, Keeper.”

“Uh-huh.”  Drill pressed into his slit once more.

“Oh!” Az’s eyes went wide and he jerked, seed pouring from him. Not just from him, but from his keeper, too, and the smell of them mingled. He groaned, panted softly.

Nuzzling him, Drill squeezed their cocks again, making a shiver go through him. Az felt everything, so much.

Random Friday

Been a busy week as I try to get as much done as possible before I leave. Unbelievably, it's only five days until I go. Time really does zoom by so damn fast! I know I say it a lot but for some reason it keeps surprising me! I know it shouldn't at this point.

Window Dressing is out for pre-order! It's officially out on December 1 (and I believe it'll go live at Amazon at the same time as it does All Romance Ebooks), but you can pre-order it now at All Romance.

Window Dressing

Will Finn and Jared recapture what they lost in time for Christmas?

Finnegan Gables moved away six years ago, leaving behind his friends, the city he grew up in, and his lover, Jared McNaughtly. They weren’t ready for a commitment then, but now Finn’s back and hoping to rekindle their Dom and sub relationship…if he can find Jared, that is.

Jared’s not had an easy time of it since Finn left. His one attempt at staying in the lifestyle resulted in a stalker, forcing him to change all his contact information and move to a new apartment. He’s disillusioned enough to have left the lifestyle altogether.
A chance crossing of their paths bring them together the week before Christmas. Can they move past their separation and everything that’s happened in the last six years to find a Merry Christmas together?

You can preorder it here.

I shall do a smutty excerpt for it tomorrow!

Also coming later today will be Dom, Sub and Boy: Beginning. I shall be shouting out the links and bouncing as soon as it's up on All Romance Ebooks and then Amazon. I'm very excited. This is my first novel that I'll be self-publishing! It's a threesome and BDSM, with a master with a sub and a boy... or at least that's what he wants to have!

I got caught in the rain yesterday. That's the only thing I don't like about the fall, is the rain is nasty to be caught out in it. Snow is an entirely different animal, so once it's cold I far prefer the white stuff. I was out in it for about a half hour, too, so I was utterly soaked and not wearing any time of rain great at all and nothing warm, because it's being unseasonably warm for November here. Ah well, it's my lesson to not go out without an umbrella if it's overcast!

So it's Friday, so TGIF, and I decided to use the pic I used on Facebook and another one. Because hey, it's Friday and that's a great opening salvo for it, and if you're not having a Friday (ie have to work tomorrow) then it's a great consolation prize ;)

Okay, so I really should shift my ass and get to work. The items on my to do list are not going to suddenly start checking themselves off as I have discovered through experience ;) So I must have at it.

Have a great weekend if you're having one, and if you're not, hang in there until you do!

Shifter Rescue: Claws now out

The sequel to Shifter Rescue: Scales is now out! This is the continuation of Drill and Az's story. The next Shifter Rescue story will feature a new pairing. I've got an excerpt of the non-smutty variety below. I'll do a smutty one on Saturday.

Shifter Rescue:: Claws

Life is never dull when you've become a dragon shifter's keeper.

Now that Drill is Az, the dragon shifter's keeper, it's time for them to move out of the basement. Being the owner's brother has some perks and Pirou has renovated their rooms to include everything that could make a dragon shifter and a master happy. With a place of their own, Az and Drill are free to explore each other and their special relationship.

The slavers who first stole Az still want the dragon they lost, though, and when they attack, it exposes Az and Drill to the rest of the residents at the Old Tavern Club, including Drill's brother and club owner Drongo. Can Az and Drill survive the exposure?

It's available here at Changeling Press.

Excerpt:

Chapter One

It was the middle of the night, and Pirou had cleared the hallways of the Old Tavern Club so Drill and Az could move from the basement to their new rooms on the top floor. The club, a front for the shifter rescue organization Pirou managed, was empty at three a.m. and in the upper floors of the building, where many of their rescues lived, the residents were all in their apartments.

Drill was eager to get the dragon-rescue he’d claimed as his own, Az, out of their little room underground to one of the rooms on a higher floor where they’d have more room, sunlight and a view. A full fridge so Pirou didn’t have to have more meat delivered to them three times a day. A huge bed, big sofas and chairs. A tub. He knew Az very badly wanted to bathe in water, and he was eager to share that with his dragon.

Now that the time to make the move was approaching, Az was, of course, hiding under the bed, and chewing his claws.

The knock at the door signaled that they were ready to go.

“We’ll be right there, Pirou,” Drill said softly through the door. Then he bent and looked under the bed. “Don’t be afraid, Az.”

“I can stay here in the safe,” Az insisted.

“It’ll be safe upstairs, too, Az. And in the halls, because you’ll be with me.” He couldn’t blame Az, really -- the last time he’d been out in the open, he’d been taken by the slavers. Whereas he’d been safe here from the moment Pirou had rescued him.

Az hid his face.

“You need to come, Az. Trust me.” That was the most important thing, of course. That Az trust him. It would always be the most important thing, no matter what the situation.

“I do, Keeper, but I’m scared,” Az admitted.

“I know. But there’s a huge tub waiting for you. A bigger bed. Sunlight.” Drill knew these things would all be incentives.

“Sunlight.” Az breathed the word like it was sacred.

“Yes, Az. Right now there are stars.”

Drill wondered, could his dragon do stairs or did he need to be human for that?

“Do you know what stairs are?” he asked.

“Yes. Yes, Keeper.”

“Okay. Good. Good. There are five flights.” If Az couldn’t work stairs they would risk meeting someone in the elevators, but the stairs would be better. Quieter, private.

“Flights?”

He kept forgetting Az had no concept of so many of things he -- and most of the population -- took for granted. The results of spending his entire life in seclusion from humans. “Sections. There are five sets of stairs.”

“And no one will take me away and poke me with needles?” Az asked.

“No.” Just the thought made Drill growl. “I will kill anyone who tries.” He would let his bear-wolf out and tear them to pieces.

Az slowly crawled out from under the bed.

“Oh, you’re definitely going to need a bath when we get home.” Drill brushed dust from Az’s scales.

“A water bath?” Az asked.

“Yes, my dragon. A water bath we can share together.”

Az’s eyes went wide, sparkling. There. Now they had motivation.

Drill nodded. “A real water bath, Az. Wanna?”

Az nodded. “Uh-huh.”

“Let’s go then.”

Drill opened the door and motioned for Az to come out with him. Az followed him, staying close, eyes huge and watching. He rubbed Az’s head as they got to the first set of stairs. “Okay. Five sets of eighteen stairs. There shouldn’t be anyone in the stairwell.”

Pirou had promised the way was clear, all the way up.

“Five eighteens. Ninety stairs.”

“Hey, you’re fast. I think that’s right, too.” Drill was a little slower, but Az’s math was right.

Az nodded, then zipped up the stairs, counting quickly. It made Drill blink, then he gave chase. His dragon had so many surprises in him. So many. He kept following the wicked-looking tail, never quite managing to catch up.

Az landed on the top stair. “Ninety!” His dragon was not the least bit out of breath, but Drill was panting pretty well.

“Good job, Az.”

Az trilled softly, obviously pleased.

Drill rubbed Az’s head, stroked along his back, then knocked on the door out of the stairwell. “Is the corridor clear, Pirou?”

“It is. Come on, you’ll share this floor with the boss.”

“The boss is my brother,” Drill told Az. “He’s… not as good people as Pirou here, but we can trust him.”

“Not good?” Az asked, frowning.

Pirou fluttered. “He’s perfect.”

Drill rolled his eyes. “I love my brother, but he’s my brother. There’s nothing wrong with him, but he’s far from perfect. Unless you’re Pirou.”

“He is Pirou’s keeper?”

Drill looked at Pirou, one eyebrow raised. Privately, he thought Pirou would very much like his brother to be exactly that. Keeper, master, sir, Dom, however you wanted to put it.

“I’ll unlock your door for you.” Pirou punched in the key on the number pad.

“You don’t have an answer for Az?” Drill grinned and turned to his dragon. “Pirou would like my brother to be his keeper.”

“Oh.” Az went to Pirou, wrapped around him. “If you know it, you should claim him. Bite him.”

Oh, fuck, that was the sweetest thing Drill had ever seen.

“I know it’s scary, but keepers are very important,” Az told Pirou.

“He’s right, Pirou. Besides, that was how he got me.” Drill still had the bite marks on his hand, though they didn’t hurt at all.

Pirou was about a thousand shades of red. “I’ll keep that in mind, Az. Thank you.”

My God It's Already Tuesday!

Because, yeah, I totally missed Monday.

Just over a week before I go to visit BA and Julia, which is very exciting, but I've got tons to do before that happens. It's totally worth being busy, though. I've lost track of how many years this will be that I've spent US Thanksgiving with them. I think either the 6th or 7th time and definitely the 5th in a row. I can hardly believe it's been that long. I swear I don't know where the time goes.

The edits on Dom, Sub, and Boy: Beginning are complete and I have sent it off for formatting. I'll get it up as soon as I have it back, so it should be available either Thursday or Friday. I'm very excited. This is my first long work that I'll be self-publishing that isn't a reprint. And Grant, Mark and Ting are already sharing the next book with me. They are very noisy dudes. I have to admit, I do like the noisy ones.

Got some great news from Dreamspinner today -- Of Love is going to be an audiobook! I have received a number of auditions to listen to. It's a very strange thing, listening to someone else reading your book out loud.  I had a really hard time choosing last time (for Cupcakes) and finally just took out the ones that I thought were totally wrong and made myself choose from what was left. The funny thing is I've gotten feedback for Cupcakes from listeners (because readers doesn't seem to apply, does it?) that say they loved the narrator and other feedback that says the voice of the narrator ruined it for them.

Window Dressing, my book in the Bound to be Naughty series from All Romance Ebooks will be available for pre-order on November 15. It will be the first of my 2015 Christmas stories to be available.

I had to grab a quote from the book for the promo graphic ARE created for me and it was hard to come up with something that I felt said something about the book (and wasn't smutty!). I think the one I finally settled on works. And isn't the model on the cover pretty? I wanted to have someone wrapped in something gauzy to represent Jared, who we first see posing in a window, dressed like an angel. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a cover like that was totally possible! I love the cover for this one.

I'm almost ready to send the next Mannies book to the editor. This one is called Three To Get Ready. Here is the tiniest of teases - unedited of course:

Dan Miller followed the instructions on his GPS to one Jack Jones' house for his interview. He was trying to decide if it was a good or bad omen that he'd dated a Jack Jones. It had ended, so maybe bad. On the other hand, they'd ended because Jack didn't want kids and he did, which was better to learn early on, before they'd invested a lot of time in each other, right? So good sign.

Chuckling at himself, he went over what Drake at Mannies Inc had told him about the family.


Okay, there's still time to get a bit more of the todo list taken care of. Have a great evening!

Dom, Sub and Boy: Beginning

Coming next week is my first self-published full length novel. And with the cover on this post and as the background, it's a lot of purple, but when I change the background again, there needs to be a cover on this post, so I'm going to go with it. Besides, I love the cover that Kris Norris did for me!

Dom, Sub and Boy: Beginning

Grant and Mark have a great relationship. They’ve been in a Dom/sub relationship for a number of years, they’re in love, and they each need what the other has to give. Mark is an ER surgeon, brilliant and driven, while Grant is a successful businessman in his own right.

When Grant sells off his company and retires in his mid-thirties, things change. He and Mark are as committed as ever, but Grant now has so much more time on his hands while Mark is busier than ever at the hospital. With nothing else to occupy him, Grant yearns for a twenty-four-seven boy, while Mark worries he’s not enough for his passionate Dom. Could bringing in a third, be what they both need to round out their lives?


Mark’s best friend Ting just might fit the bill, but how to Grant and Mark bring the topic up with each other, let alone Ting himself?

It'll be out at the end of next week - I do love Friday the 13ths! and it'll be available at Amazon and All Romance Ebooks.

Excerpt:

 Chapter One

“Doctor Almon! Doctor Almon, wait!”

Oh, fuck a doodle doo. Mark was on the end of twenty-six hour shift and he had plans, damn it. Plans. Still, he stopped, because that’s what you did. You took care of business.

“Yes, Jackie?”

“I need you to sign this before you go.” The head nurse hurried up, short hair dyed bright orange. “Just one signature and I promise not to call you in. Jim’s on call and Amy and Peter are working, so you ought to be safe.”

“God, don’t say that. I’ll be hauling my ass in here over and over.” Mark totally believed in not jinxing himself.

“We all know you need your beauty sleep, Doc. We won’t call you.”

“Please. I haven’t gotten laid in weeks.” He winked at her, signed the order, and handed it back. “See ya!”

“Doc!” She laughed. “Get out of here before anyone else sees you.”

He waved and ran to his bike, unlocked it and headed out, Fallout Boy blaring in his earphones. His phone rang when he was a couple blocks from the hospital and he hit the Bluetooth connection, the music disappearing and Grant’s voice replacing it.

“Baby, if you’re still at the hospital, I’m coming to get you and I may have to have a word with your boss.”

“On the way.” His heart was slamming against his ribs. “Be there in ten.”

Like Grant would talk to his boss. They had an agreement and they didn’t interfere in each other’s work. Now that Grant was retired, he possibly needed to remind Grant that hospital visits were for dropping off meals, clean clothes and picking him up. Retired. At thirty-six. It seemed a bit ridiculous, but Grant had built his business, then sold it for a ton of money.

Mark was so fucking proud it hurt.

A car honked and zipped by, almost knocking him over.

“Watch out, you fuckmonkey!”

The guy gave him the finger and roared down the road. Jerk. Mark didn’t have time for an accident. He had plans tonight. Ting was coming over and there would be games and wine and laughter.

First, though? Shower. Orgasm. Nap.

Mark pulled up into the driveway, the garage door open for him. Looked like he wasn’t the only one who was eager.

He wheeled in, closed the garage, and took his shoes off, stripped his scrubs off too and popped them and the extras from his locker in the washer. Honestly, they needed to find a new housekeeper. Someone to take care of the little things.

He’d bring it up with Grant. After the whole shower and orgasm thing.

There was a note on the door into the kitchen. “Master bath. Be naked. Be ready.” 

Well, he had the naked part down, that was for sure. He grabbed two beers and a handful of grapes before heading down the hall.

There was already steam coming out of the bathroom, and Grant was as naked as Mark was when he went in. Grant was a fucking stud, tall and muscled. Sexy as hell.

“I brought us each a beer, babe.”

Grant turned to look at him. “The Moosehead, I hope. The IPA is in the fridge for Ting. He likes that light stuff.”

“You spoil him.” Of course Mark had brought the Moosehead.

“I try to make sure our guest is happy. You’re the one I try to spoil. You don’t make it easy, though.” Grant took a long drink from one of the bottles, then took both and set them on the shelf in the shower before drawing him in.

“Hey.” Mark lifted his face, desperate for a kiss.

Grant gazed into his eyes, hands coming up to cup his cheek. For the longest time Grant simply stared at him, then he smiled and said “Hey” back before bringing their lips together.

His soft cry surprised Mark, torn from him. Finally he was home and he could need.

Iron Eagle Gym: The New Boy available for Pre-Order

My newest BDSM series from Dreamspinner is now available to pre-order!

Book 2 has already been contracted, to be out in the spring, and I am two thirds of the way through book 3!

The New Boy (Iron Eagle Gym #1)

Lance Packet just got a contract to shoot an erotic BDSM deck of cards; the only problem is finding models. So far everyone he’s interviewed thinks he’s looking for sex for hire. Then in walk three perfect examples of men: Tide and his friends, Tyrone and Bran.

Tide Germaine is a model and a Dom. He and his best friend Tyrone opened The Iron Eagle Gym as a place for gay men in the lifestyle to work out, do scenes, and congregate with like-minded men. The modeling is just another job for Tide, but it soon turns into a grand seduction as Tide falls for the shy, self-conscious photographer. The problem is Lance doesn’t believe he’s in Tide’s league, and he’s not at all sure about the Dom and sub thing.

It’s not going to be easy, but Tide’s going to have to convince Lance he belongs at Tide’s side as both lover and sub.

Pre-Order the Ebook.
Pre-Order the Paperback.

Excerpt:

Chapter One

Lance was so fucking tired of uppity assholes and psychopaths who thought “male fetish model” meant “I pay for sex.”

He’d interviewed a dozen guys and they’d all been utter assholes and utterly not photogenic. He had a client willing to pay enough to cover his rent for three years for a deck of BDSM cards. A whole deck worth of images. All he needed were some hot, gorgeous guys willing to get kinky in front of the camera.

He wasn’t holding out a lot of hope for this upcoming interview either. Tide. Who the fuck was called Tide? A porn star, that was who.

Lance was tempted to just cancel the fucking interview. But damn, three years’ rent. Three years to build his business. Who could fucking walk away from that?

Still, he sat a few more minutes and was actually about to get up and leave when three guys walked into the coffee shop.

Oh God. They were stunning. A big black man, a small platinum-blond super-tanned twink, and the most beautiful man he’d ever fucking seen.

Oh please be here for me, he thought. Pretty please.

The beautiful one with the blue eyes looked over at him and smiled, headed his way. “Lance Packet?”

Oh, fucking A. Yes.

“I am.” Lance stood up, held out his hand. “Pleased to meet you.”

“Tide. The same. This is Tyrone and Bran.”

Tide’s hand was big, swallowing his up in the most amazing grip.

“Tide.” Whoa. These guys were stunning and Lance was… so totally not.

Tide pulled up the chair next to him, while Tyrone pulled out the other two, making sure Bran was seated before sitting himself.

“So you’re doing an erotic calendar?” Tide asked, taking the initiative.

“No. No, I’m doing a deck of cards. A fetish deck.” With leather and chains and anal and…. God, he was never going to survive this. Not with these stunning men as potential models.

“Really? Oh, that sounds very interesting.” Tide had an amazing voice, low and warm.

“I have a few questions. Uh. You’re comfortable with that idea? Fetish, I mean. This client has very specific ideas.” Lance pushed over the illustrations his client had sent.

Tide looked at them and hummed, then passed them to Tyrone and Bran.

Lance knew he was blushing, but he couldn’t help it. These guys were the first ones who seemed like they might be anywhere close to workable, and they were sexy as hell.

“These are ambitious. You’ll need the right people to pull them off.” Tyrone sounded like he knew what he was talking about. “You need three people who are… close.” Tyrone looked at Tide and grinned.

“Yes. I need men who aren’t ashamed of their bodies or their arousal.”

Tyrone stroked Bran’s shoulder, like he was petting a big cat. “There is no shame for us in what we do. And we’ve worked with Tide before, giving demonstrations. Some in these exact poses.”

“I’m imagining a few sessions to get all the poses and then one for reshoots. That is, if you’re willing, of course.” Lance couldn’t believe he had possibly found exactly the men he needed. He just might get that payday after all.

“It looks like it’s going to be a fascinating collection in the end,” Tide noted.

Tyrone nodded, nudged Bran. “Boy?”

“It looks exciting, Master. Truly. But only if it’s for art, not porn.”

Master? Had Bran said Master?

“Yeah, we don’t do porn.” Tide shot the comment in Lance’s direction.

“This is for a private collection. I’m selling him the deck, a single deck, not the original files.” Those were his.

“We’d want a copy of the deck as well.” Tide looked through the sketches again. “And a guarantee that any other prints would need to be approved by us.”

“I can offer that. I mean, if it goes well, I mean, I’d totally be open to hiring you for more photos.” Lance took a deep breath and told himself to get it together. “I mean, would you guys like a coffee?”

Tide smiled warmly. “Sure. I’d love a coffee.”

Tyrone pulled out his wallet and handed Bran a twenty. “You know what we like, boy.”

“I’ve got it,” Lance insisted. “You just want a drip or what?” He was so nervous he couldn’t hold it together. Professional. Totally professional. He was entirely professional.

“Don’t worry about it. Bran likes feeling useful.” Tyrone grabbed Bran’s hair and pulled his head back for a kiss.

Lance stared, the full-on kiss shocking. Oh God. Don’t spring a woody. Don’t.

When the kiss was over, Bran got up, looking smug, and Tyrone swatted him on the ass.

“Show-off,” Tide muttered.

Suddenly Lance wasn’t sure if he was supposed to get Tide’s coffee or not.

Tyrone chuckled, settling back in his chair and turning his attention back to Lance. “So when are you wanting to do this and how much do you pay?”

“I can pay you each two thousand dollars and I’d like to get all the pictures done in four or five days, with the option of picking up an extra day if I go through it and find I don’t have enough pictures for all fifty-two cards.”

Tide and Tyrone looked at each other, some sort of silent communication going on between them. Then Tide turned back to him again, smiled. “We need a contract, of course, but we’re in.”

“Do you mind if I take a few shots today, just to check things?” He had the contracts with him and he pushed them across the table.

Tyrone took them and started reading them over.

It was Tide who answered him. “I think doing a few shots today is a great idea. It’ll let us see how you work, what we can expect.”

“It doesn’t have to be formal. We’ve got a nice sun.”

“Yeah? There’s a park across the street and Bran no doubt got our coffees to go.”

“Okay. Cool. Let me grab another drink and I’ll meet you guys in the park.” Lance couldn’t believe he was actually going to get to shoot these amazing studs.

“You got it.”

Tyrone gathered up the contracts and stood, arm going around Bran as he got back to their table with three takeout coffee cups. “We’re going to the park, boy.”

“Yes, Master.” Not even a question. Not a worry.

The contrast of their skin was amazing too; they complemented each other beautifully and would photograph stunningly.

“Quite the pair, aren’t they?” Tide asked.

“They’re striking together, yes.”

Tide went with him to the counter. “So how did you come across this particular project?”

“I have a client who recommended me. We worked together in college and she thought I’d be the right choice for the job. I sent my resume and portfolio, and he loved my work.” It was just like getting any other job, but with way more cock.

“You do a lot of nude males?” Tide handed the cashier a five, paying for his coffee.

“Oh. I. Thank you.” How dear. “I’ve done some. I mostly do fine art pieces.”

“You’ll have to show me your portfolio.” Tide sounded genuinely interested.

“Of course.” Absolutely. That was totally reasonable.

Tide put his hand on Lance’s lower back as they headed out of the coffee shop and it felt like he’d been hit with a live wire.

Don’t spring wood. Think about mud. Bugs. Roadkill. It occurred to him that he was going to have to jack off thirty times before he shot these guys.

They joined Tyrone and Bran across the street in the park, the sunlight highlighting the way they contrasted each other.

Lance nodded. “Like I said, these are totally just quick shots. I just want to”—have some distance between me and you gorgeous bastards—“see what turns up.”

He pulled his camera out and started shooting, not worrying about the light or much of anything. It was where he felt most comfortable anyway, and it was way easier to feel professional with the lens between him and these stunning men.

“You want us to do anything in particular?” Tide asked, seeming unconcerned about the camera.

“No. No, just hang out. No worries.”

“You sure?” asked Tide. “No kissing? Posing?”

At the word kissing, Tyrone and Bran totally locked lips.

Lance let himself just shoot and not be a part of it, not think about anything but shapes and angles and light. It was so much safer back here.

“Way to make everyone else jealous,” teased Tide, rolling his eyes.

Laughing, Tyrone grabbed the collar of Tide’s T-shirt and pulled him into a kiss that looked like it should have smoke.

This was going to be the best fucking set of shots ever. Lance couldn’t wait to see the results.

When the kiss broke, he got an amazing shot of them looking at each other, fondness in their eyes. He’d let them have that one. Obviously they were all… close.

Tide began mugging after that, doing typical model poses for him. Lance chuckled. There was something about Tide, something bright and fascinating. The man was looking at him through the lens, too. Like Tide could see right through it.

No. No way. This was his defense against the world.

Still, he felt Tide’s slow, easy smile all the way to his toes. Lance sighed softly. God, that was pretty.

Tyrone and Bran sat together on the grass, talking quietly.

“So. I’ve got Tide’s e-mail. Can you guys all let me know, after you read your contracts, if you’re interested and when good times are? I have a budget for supplies, but I’ll have to get with my client to see exactly what he’d be interested in.”

“We have some of the things you might need,” Tyrone told him. “So don’t buy anything without checking first.”

“Absolutely. I’m sure someone has a list.” Lance knew in general what might be a BDSM prop, but he was sure his client had some specific ideas and he was in no way an expert on the topic himself.

“You don’t have a list of your own? We’ll supply you with one,” Tyrone offered.

Lance shook his head, though. Like he had any idea what exactly they’d need. He’d put that on the client and pick up what was needed once he had that in hand. He’d been having so much trouble finding the right guys for the work, he hadn’t asked for a list, feeling it would have been premature—putting the cart before the horse.

Tide took his hand. “We’ve got you covered.”

His hand began to sweat, to tremble. “Th-thanks.”

“We’ll e-mail you our agreement and contracts later today,” Tyrone suggested.

“Sounds good. Let me know when you’re free, and we’ll make arrangements.”

“We sure will.” Tide gave him a once-over that he could totally feel.

“I should go. I’m so glad you guys showed. So glad.” Utterly freaking out, but glad.

“It was really nice to meet you. Dream of us.” Tide looked at him like he was edible.

“I. What?” He lifted his camera, putting it between them and shooting a picture.

“The project,” Tide said. “Dream up all the poses you want so we’re all ready to go.”

“Yes. Yes, of course. Have a great day. Thank you.”

Looking at him through the lens, Tide brought his hand up and kissed the back of it. “Thank you.”

“Oh. I. Bye. Good-bye.”

He waved and ran, his cock hard as nails. Forget thirty times, he was going to have to jack off a million times before they shot anything at all.
