Hey everyone! I’m Kris T. Bethke, and I’m here to talk about series.
I love them. Like a lot. I love to read them, love to watch couples facing new dilemmas and trials while still being together, love to watch new couples find their happily ever after. Reading series is a true joy for me, and I’m more likely to pick up a book if I know there’s going to be more in the world that’s been created.
I love to write series too. It never fails that, when I’m writing, the secondary characters talk to me, wanting their own books. While I have written a bunch of single titles, the truth is, even ..read more

Hey y’all, I’m BA Tortuga, resident redneck and all around lover of cowboys.
Here’s an excerpt from Cut Bait, one of the eight novellas from the Rough in Wranglers collection.
***
Rick got everything ready to go, but he suddenly realized the shower wasn’t running.
And Bill wasn’t whistling.
That was weird as fuck.
After washing up, he wandered into the bedroom, wiping his hands on his jeans. “Billy? You all right?”
“Well, I hope so….” Billy was sitting on their bed, still butt-assed naked, holding….
Oh shit.
“Oh. Oh jeez, Billy. Put that away, okay?” He trotted right over and grabbed t ..read more

Hi! I’m Kim Fielding, and I’m very excited to announce the arrival of my new Dreamspun Desires book, A Full Plate! If you’re in the mood for a sweet little opposites-attract romance, this may fit your tastes exactly.
How do you feel about crossovers between stories? I’m not talking here about true series, but rather situations in which characters from one book appear—maybe just briefly—in another book. A cameo, perhaps, or a brief intersection of paths.
If you’ve read my stories, you may have already guessed that I love these crossovers. For some reason it makes me happy to envision al ..read more

TRISTAN was not running away.
He was driving. At the speed limit. In a rental car
that he’d picked up at the airport under his real name and everything. And he was going to a cabin on a lake. That was totally, de nitely, one hundred percent the opposite of running away. Besides, he left a note for Christopher, so it wasn’t like he just vanished on the guy. He did the responsible thing because he was a responsible guy. Not the sort of person who would do something heinous like send a breakup text. Even if he had been really, really tempted.
Tristan de nitely didn’t sigh with relief when ..read more

One of the things I like to have in my stories is bisexual characters. I’m bi. I know quite a few bi people and I think we are often overlooked in LGBT fiction. We focus so much on the male/male aspect of the relationship—the current relationship—we don’t often think about previous relationships and what those might mean.
In No Sacrifice, it was central to the story, so that wasn’t something I could have skipped over if I wanted to. There’s even a—gasp—het sex scene! It’s limited, but it’s on page. I heard quite a bit about that scene too.
While No Sacrifice was obvious, some of my oth ..read more

Hey y’all!
I’m Julia Talbot, and I’m here to chat about The Wolf’s Man Friday, my newest release!
Well, that was my intention. I was supposed to be writing brilliant meta, but we had a week at Chez Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga.
BA had a hemorrhage on Monday night and ended up in the hospital until late Tuesday. Then… well, then, the great poopapocalypse of 2018 started. Girl basset, who has bad arthritis in her back end, is having troubles. GI troubles. OMG yuck.
So, sleep deprived and worried and stressed, I put off writing this blog until the last minute.
So, I’m a bad author. Sue me ..read more

Chapter One Thursday
I bolted upright, a scream caught in my throat. The room was still dark, and Easy stirred next to me, reached up and whacked me between the shoulder blades. I coughed, then took a deep breath, sank back down on the pillow. I couldn’t stop shaking. Easy reached for me, pulled me over until I could bury my face in the warm skin of his neck. “Was it the dream again? The wedding?”
“A new one,” I said. “Tino. That little shit was walking up the aisle, wearing a white veil. At every row of chairs, he stopped, lifted his leg, and peed on the feet of the…”
Easy sat up, cut ..read more

Hi, everybody, it’s nice to meet you. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Laura Lascarso, and I still feel relatively new to the M/M romance world. I came here from the land of young adult, which is why many of my stories tend to focus around the teenaged years, though I am beginning to branch out into ye olden years of the early twenties.
I think I like the age range of late teens because that is when the world begins to bloom, and life seems at times both unpredictable and terrifying. It’s an emotional time too, and I love delvin ..read more

Hey, y’all! I’m BA Tortuga, resident redneck and new New Mexican.
Okay, so I moved to New Mexico…Lord, five years ago in May. O.o
Whoa, I have to process that a second. I swear to God, y’all. It feels like I JUST left Austin. Like yesterday just.
Huh.
At any rate, I’m here and I love it. I chose our house because the kitchen, sun room, studio, and office face the mountains. I love the desert. I love the people. I love the sunshine. I love the seasons and the lack of humidity and the artwork.
I’ve noticed with my books that I’ve slowly started to slide over to the west. I still w ..read more

When I first wrote Angel 1089, two of the secondary characters, Hank and Ian, immediately took on lives of their own. I knew from the beginning that I would have to tell their story, why they left the shining city in the sky named Heaven and chose to live on the devastated Earth below.
To do that I had to go back, back into time, to what happened before the events of Angel 1089. And that story is Exodus.
Exodus takes us to the floating city that should be a paradise. No one wants for anything. All citizens are fed and given shelter. And yet, its gloss is a little bit dimmed, especially ..read more
