Release Day: A Nightmare Come True

Hello my lovelies!

It's release day - A Nightmare Come True is available from Total-E-Bound as of today. Here's an extra snippet / sneak peek for you to enjoy while I'm celebrating in lovely company.There might even be bubbly later tonight...

>>>Colin’s eyes met mine and I knew—knew—that he had read every dirty thought in my mind just then. A blush warmed my cheeks and I had to look elsewhere, anywhere but at my mum because I feared that the scandalous pictures in my head would just drop out and scatter across the room for everyone to see.

“I met him at the film set,” Colin said with perfect calm. “I guess you could say we’re co-workers.”

“Oh, so you work for them too? How interesting. Not that Mike tells me much about this job of his, but it must be a fantastic opportunity for you boys to meet some of the stars you admire.”

Colin grinned. The little fucker was enjoying this while I was about to spontaneously combust from the heat in my face.<<<

And in case you managed to miss it, here's the blurb again:

Dreams can come true—but sometimes nightmares are very real, too.

When Michael—Mikey—Fawkes bags himself a job as a handyman for a film production company and meets his favourite actor, gay porn star Colin Meighan, he believes his dream has come true. Colin indeed appears to be a dream turned to flesh. Handsome, young and as insatiable sexually as the roles he plays suggest, he makes his way into Mikey’s bed and introduces him to unknown carnal pleasures.

A slick lover and sweet talker, Colin also finds a place in Mikey’s heart, but as Mikey lets his new lover lure him deeper and deeper into a world of decadent on- and off-screen sex, their indulgences begin to take their toll on Mikey. Curious to find out more about the strange and inexplicable effect Colin has on his sex partners, Mikey discovers that there is a terrible reason why one man alone can never be enough to satisfy Colin’s hunger and he realises that dreams can come true—but sometimes nightmares are very real, too.

 Reader Advisory: This book is the first in a series with an ongoing story arc. It is set in the world of gay porn where the heroes enjoy a red-hot multi-man pile-up  with secondary characters as well as some mild BDSM play.

Release date October 4 / available from distributors November 1

Fantasy for Sale is a Finalist in the Rainbow Awards

Yes, you read that right - Fantasy for Sale is a finalist in this year's Rainbow Awards! I feel blessed and honored that my book is mentioned in that list alongside so many fabulous authors, even more so because it wasn't an easy book to write. But obviously spending so much time on Nate and Cam and telling their story the way they wanted it was the right thing to do because now I get to replace the pretty Honorable Mentions badge with this beauty:

Now the nerve-wrecking time of waiting for the announcement of the winners has begun... The big day is December 8th. Meanwhile, why don't you check out the list of books that have made it? 

Here's the link: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3898883.html

Big thanks go to Elisa Rolle, the person behind the Rainbow Awards, the Jury and of course my wonderful editors: Sue Meadows who never fails to put me back on track whenever my scatterbrained self wanders off the right path, and the lovely Jade and Jenny who add some colour to my manuscripts as they pick up the big and small errors I have left in my wake. 

Ladies, you rock!

Sneak Peek: A Nightmare Come True

Hello darlings, 

I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I thought I post a little sneak peek from A Nightmare Come True for you - just to give you a little taste of Colin and Mikey. 

This snippet finds our boys as they meet - on set, ready to roll. Here you go: 

“So, this is where the action’s gonna happen, huh?” I observed, mainly just to say something.
Pete glanced at me. The corners of his eyes were wrinkled in a half-smile. “Yeah. You’re early.”
“Well, yes. I figured it might be better if I came early.”
A soft chuckle right behind me made my back tingle. “Sweetheart, in this business it’s never good to come early.”
Pete looked past me and grinned. “You took the words right out of my mouth. Hi, Colin. You’re a bit early yourself.”
“Yeah, I know,” Colin drawled. He moved past me and leaned in to Pete who tilted his head. For a moment I thought he’d kiss him full on the mouth, then Colin turned the motion into a quick peck on the cheek, but it was too late.
A scene from the film I’d watched last night in anticipation of the meeting interfered with reality and a dirty fantasy began to unwind in my mind. I imagined Colin greeting me with a kiss, only that ours would be open mouths and tongue-touching and all. Blood shot into my dick, fast enough to make me dizzy. Fool that I was, I’d come prepared to meet the star of my dreams, but nothing had prepared me for Colin’s enormous sex appeal. On camera he was sexy as sin, off camera he was Viagra on legs. He wore tight-fitting, ripped blue jeans and a pale grey, long-sleeved T-shirt. The fabric of the latter was so soft that it not only hugged the curves of his pectoral muscles—I could also easily make out the shape of the nipple piercing underneath.

Fantasy for Sale Receives an Honorable Mention

Hi all,

You may have heard it already - Fantasy for Sale has received an Honorable Mention in this year's Rainbow Awards! An Honorable Mention means that during the first reading period a judge really liked the book, so much they gave it a rate above 36 out of 40; an HM doesn't necessarily mean the book is a finalist, you have to wait for the actual announcement on October 1 to find out.

Needless to say, I'm thrilled that Fantasy is doing so well - and let me tell you, it's in excellent company. There are lots of great books by talented authors in the Rainbow Awards and I'm very proud that Fantasy has made it this far. Thanks to the jury and big thanks to my wonderful editor Sue - you rock, love!

Exclusiv Sneak Peek: Nightmares Series

Hi all,

At some point during the sleepless child / neurotic dog / cat that thinks she's a tiger - disaster I managed to fill in the last cover questionnaires for the Nightmares Series. And that made me notice something: I wrote an extra blurb for the series, but so far that hasn't been shown anywhere, so as a little treat for you, my dear blog visitors, you get to sneaky peek what has so far only been revealed to my editor and cover artist.


Here's the Nightmares Series blurb:

What if the old, folkloristic tales are true and nightmares exist? What if a nightmare isn’t just the vivid and frightening scenario our tormented subconscious presents to us as we sleep, but a paranormal being that is as substantial and real as you and I—an incubus, a demon that feeds on human emotions? Could a man fall in love with such a demon, and could the demon love him in return?

Colin Meighan, co-owner of the small but successful gay porn production company Centre Studs is also the company’s biggest star. He sports a pretty exterior, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. Too young to know the full extent of what he is, he has to learn that the world he lives in isn’t what it seems. There are powers at work that exceed everything he’s ever believed in and the lines between nightmare and reality become blurred as he discovers the truth about himself and his gruesome heritage. 

Remember, A Nightmare Come True, Book One in the Nightmares Series, releases on October 4th and it is currently available to pre-order at 15% discount only from TEB
