To Touch the Stars - Anne Cain

I got my final cover and my release date for my Liquid Silver book. To Touch the Stars will arrive on March 19th. People are liking this story, so I hope it does well. I love my boys. They deserve success.

This is a M/M/M futuristic. Blurb as follows:

 Generations ago, Edmund Talkirk led a group of colonists on an interstellar search for a new home. They were hoping for a second Earth.

They never found it. Now, the descendents of those first brave souls eke out a living on the surface of the world they call Shadow. They are led by their Talkirk, a scarred warrior once known as Cymren, who expects treachery and demands loyalty and obedience.

Lucan came from the underground darkness of the Warren, a part of Shadow thought long abandoned. He left everything and everyone he held dear in an attempt to avert a great wrong. His incredible promises and bold words challenge everything Talkirk knows. Yet there is something about him, wisdom far beyond his years and mystical power his frail body should not possess.

He came proclaiming his ability as Pureblood to save Talkirk and the Cairn, the walled city he protects. Whether he intends to save the man and master, or to betray both, is the question, and yet Talkirk can’t resist his allure. One way or the other, he’ll have the man and the power, regardless of who he has to battle to keep them.

Here Be Dragons – T.A. Chase

Here Be Dragons - T. A. Chase

I’ve just finished reading Here Be Dragons by T.A. Chase (you can click the cover to buy a copy of the book for yourself). This is a quick-paced urban fantasy that will make you take another look at familiar myths. Think you know the story of St. George and the Dragon or what Mordred from Arthurian legend was really like? Not the way T. A.’s re-envisioned them. Think dragons are merely misunderstood and all mythical creatures are warm and friendly? Think again.

 I liked this book a lot. Kael and Hugh, the heroes of the story, are a perfect match for one another, both warm and very real and three-dimensional. They work well as echoes of this story’s George and Mordred. They work even better -with- them. Though I might have liked a little more detail about the final battle against the dragon, I know that action scenes are tough and what we get serves its purpose. There’s no question about the outcome of the fight.

I have to confess that George stole my attention, though. I look forward to reading more of T.A.’s work, but if there are more stories that focus on the big guy,  I might just have to put other reading aside for him.

Cheerfully recommended!

Holy cow. I’ve seen a heck of a spike in visitors over the last couple of days. And yet none of you are lingering long enough to say hi. What’s up with that? 😉

 I know, I know, it’s a quiet world over here. I’m still waiting on release dates and edits and trying to finish more projects, so I don’t have a ton to talk about. Still, I’m perfectly friendly, I only bite when welcomed and I … have cookies.  I share.

 More seriously, welcome to those who are swinging by. Hope to see you come back again when I’ve got news and more stories to provide.

Manlove at RWA National

It’s confirmed. I will indeed be helping to present a workshop at RWA National this year in Dallas.

The workshop is titled Swimming Against the Stream: Alternative Genres in Erotic Romance and will touch on  M/M, menage and BDSM in erotic romance. I’m thrilled that we got accepted and I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.

I’m also nervous about presenting, but I’ll have some practice before we get there this year, so hopefully I won’t stutter too badly. If you’re there, come see us and say hi!
