Dreamspinner Press discussion

Did you read Canes and Scales? Want to discuss it with other fans? Here's your chance!

I read it, wrote it, whipped it and hope other readers enjoy the lovelorn take.

I bought it this morning so give me a few days and I will be back

Thank you so much!

Wow, in browsing through all the books I have read I'm seeing a few that influenced me in a surprising manner. And I am not talking about romance novels. In fact I'm thinking Canes and Scales owes a little debt to the brilliant fantasy author Michael Moorcock and not just because of his name.

Wait, more influences: hello Roger Zelazny and Gordon Merrick.

Buying this book NOW!
I'm sci-fi and fantasy addicted so I MUST read it!

Thanks so much; please let me know what you think.

There's a lovely three star review for Canes and Scales on Amazon's Kindle Books list. I agree with it. The last line made me giddy.

Amazon review

Great book, and got my 5 stars
:-)

I love the story, the first person narrators that gave me a full immersion in the characters feelings and OMG I would love to know more!
(view spoiler)[well, as I said in my review they ride to a peaceful land to love each other, but and after that month of break? Now that Linden is the king what will happen???? How can he be the king, with a male elf as consort? Ohhhhhhh so many questions! (hide spoiler)]
BTW, ooohhhhhh my Linden IS someone gorgeous as Keanu Reeves

You made my Friday, m'dear. I raise my wine to you.

Good news! My novella "To Save a Shining Soul" will be released by Dreamspinner in late May.

I need a July release to ensure every other month world domination. Yeah, right.

Wait, one of my short stories will be released in June but not at DSP. I shall promote it elsewhere.

More good news. My novella "Divine Devine's Love Song" will be released in November.

So much for every other month world domination.

Of course I jest. I feel mighty happy.

"To Save A Shining Soul" is officially out in the world. Please give Marius the Demon your love. He needs the support.

Come chat with me here on Saturday June 11th starting at 1:00PM. Please don't make me talk to myself but damn, I will do it.

OK, less than 11 hours away. I am thinking of questions to ask myself to fill the gap. What the hell, it might be fun. I will open the wine early.

I have arranged my lilies around my desk for my special day. Despite the recent heat my small garden is producing robust lilies. They are ready for action. I wish they knew how to talk.

So far "To Save A Shining Soul" is generating as much buzz as flat Coke left out on a hot metal table. Poor Marius and Tristian. Have I failed them?

Teaser: Hot July Days Story from the Goodreads M/M Romance Group

Here's a little teaser from my story, Bound to Be Suited There are so many great authors involved with this free anthology, many from DSP. The anthology should be amazing.

“Badminton. I love badminton. The whole shuttle cock thing is sexy. Just like plumbing. Imagine a toilet having a ball cock. Amazing.” The beginning to tingle in hot flaming lust Greg held up a rolled net and metal poles. A roll of white line sat coiled under the net. “Security. Yeah, I desire security.” He looked up and grinned in manic glee. “Play along with me?"

The close to flying into the sky Sebastian cocked his head in confusion. “Play what?”

“Captive.”

“Sure, dude! Tell me what to do.” At that moment in time if Greg told Sebastian he wanted to fuck in the middle of the Cross-Bronx Freeway, Sebastian would call Roland back to drive them there. Given their out of control desire they’d probably spew sperm all over the limo’s backseat and pass out before they arrived at the said dangerous destination. If they hesitated, poor Roland would be fighting off robbers for the hubcaps. Better they remain here and fuck in safety.

“Look, close your eyes and lean against those raincoats.”

“Yes, sir.” Sebastian saluted Greg and sank into the supportive mass. Visions of hot lava, hissing eruptions, and violent mating scenes from nature shows tripped across his mental screen. Fur flew. Blood splashed. Growls and snarls echoed in his ears. Did those shows ever display male tigers seeking sexual bliss? Come on, fucking like tigers was a common phrase, right, or was the…

Wait, those nature programs always showed a lion attacking and eating an antelope or some other cute animal. Why not talk first? Maybe sex solved all problems. Sex solved so many problems. If the UN fucked instead of rambling on, poof, there, problems solved.

Yes, I am on Twitter.

Feel free to see my frequent 140 character rambles.

Heads up, my next DSP release arrives on July 27th. The Baron's Last Hunt is a sad short story of love, redemption and loss. The perfect read for a gloomy day.

Warning, world, Divine Devine's Love Song is slated to attack on November 9th. This is quite different than my previous work, sharper and a little more action oriented.

Check out the rockin' cover!

I like the cover!
and I adored the blurb!

Yipee, Sam Devine and Pokatawer's sci-fi romance just received a lovely 4.5 star review at MM Good Book Reviews. Break out the cha-cha music and the wine.

Congrats, S.A. :) Great review!

Damn, I need to finish the sequel to "Canes and Scales." C&S 2: "When Thorns Pierce Flesh" seems darker than the first one, which gives me a hard time. My muse hisses "haven't you beat up these poor men enough?"

Erm, sorry, no.

I interviewed my guys Carl and Marcelino from "Cupid Knows Best" for Dawn's Reading Nook. They are a handful in more ways than one!

Carl: "Turning green sounds cool! I’d be the ultimate green man from Celtic fantasy. I’d have super powers. I would force living growth into every last crack and crevice.”

Raw Words from My NaNoWriMo Story Nov 9th

I just introduced a new character in my sequel to "Cupid Knows Best." What do you think?

http://oscarsbruisedpetals.blogspot.com/

Well, I know you're not going to just leave Patrice (and the rest of us) standing there blinking in lust! Who is this that the cat drug in? *gg*
I like.
;P

Glad you like! Patrice will hook up with a secondary character already introduced in "Cupid Knows Best." Does long black hair plus a fondness for leather and delivering insults ring a bell?

You sneak, Cupid is already line jumping in my wish list! I love a good tease!

When you read "Cupid", you will know who Patrice meets. You won't know why... *evil laugh*

Care to know why NaNoWriMo is like ascending the Stairs of Cirith Ungol?
