Just a couple more days, and Fiddle and Fire will be live on Amazon in all formats, and from Barnes and Noble in paperback. I can't wait for you all to read it!

There has been a bit of confusion about the genre of the book, so I will reiterate. It is a steamy, historical MMF romance, but it is not and was NEVER meant to be erotica. It was listed in NetGalley in erotica with a disclaimer that it is not pure erotica. They do not have an erotic romance category, so this was the best we could do. If a book is just listed in Historical Romance, it quickly becomes lost amongst all of the clean romances. Then some historical romance readers find MMF sex and get all bent out of shape about it and call it porn.

Unfortunately, some reviewers don't read blurbs, so the disclaimer was lost on them, and they were disappointed that the book wasn't all super descriptive sex. Sorry (not sorry) about that.

I do my best to alert readers to the content, but if someone plows ahead expecting something other than what's there, I can't help it.

I hope you love the book. I do.
