An Excerpt and some EPIC Finalists!

So I'm still recovering from GRL, which was a total blast, but had a few quick news updates. I'll be facedown in some edits for a few days, plus catching up on some various books I need to finish, but I'm trying to update my blog more regularly. Being busy is good, but man, it really makes blogging fall by the wayside!

Anyway. I've just posted an excerpt from The Left Hand of Calvus, my ancient Roman historical due out November 5th from Riptide Publishing.

This book is part of the 4-book Warriors of Rome collection, which includes titles by Lisa Henry, Sam Starbuck, Violetta Vane, and Heidi Belleau. The collection is currently available for pre-order as a group or individually (The City War by Sam Starbuck, He Is Worthy by Lisa Henry, Mark of the Gladiator by Heidi Belleau & Violetta Vane, and The Left Hand of Calvus).

Moving right along, four of my books made it into the EPIC Award finals!  Damaged Goods in the Erotica category, The Given & The Taken in Paranormal Romance, Static in Sci Fi Romance, and Noble Metals in Fantasy Romance. So now I get to gnaw my nails until March when the awards are announced! :D

Okay, back to editing with me. Lots of stuff in the offing, so check back!

Just a few quick updates and some reviews.

I've added excerpts to my website for three upcoming releases:

Disengaged
On the List
The Closer You Get

Stay tuned for an excerpt from Ex Equals.

Also, I'm pleased to announce that I have signed with the newest M/M publisher, Riptide Publishing. My first title with Riptide will be my vampire/cyberpunk novella, A Chip In His Shoulder, and is expected to be out in late October. Details to come as they're available.

Damaged Goods is now available on several third party sites: Sony, Fictionwise, AllRomance, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ereader.com. And, of course, it's still available directly from Loose Id, LLC.

Finally, some reviews:

Michele at The Romance Studio has given Light Switch 5 out of 5 hearts, and I think this may be my favorite comment about this book ever lol:

"Light Switch is a great book about Kristen's exodus from plain dry toast sex to drippy, gooey syrup coated French toast sex."

Feliz at Jessewave Reviews has given Cover Me 4.5 out of 5 stars:

This is a strong story, with very real and believable conflicts. As far as I can judge, the medical details are absolutely correct, and the job – related background regarding paramedics felt well-researched and authentic. [...] this was a great, skillfully written read with a realistic, gripping plot and well – wrought, well-developed characters. Highly recommended.

And Stephantois at Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews has given Damaged Goods 4.5 out of 5 cherries:

"If you’re looking for an erotic romance that’s a little different, I’d say check this title out."

That's all for now -- plenty more in the offing, so check back often!

Chat with me, Win some books, and Sneak a peek

On April 27th, from 6pm-midnight (Eastern), I'm taking over the Coffee Time Romance Erotic loop. Books will be given away, including two signed paperbacks, and there will generally be chaos and shenanigans. I'll be answering questions, and probably being mildly crazy because it'll be early in the morning for me.

I'll also be posting sneak peek excerpts of three soon-to-be-released books:

Damaged Goods
(Lauren Gallagher; Loose Id)

Static
(L. A. Witt; Amber Allure)

Trust Me
The sequel to Cover Me
(L. A. Witt; Carnal Passions)

So, if you want to get in on the giveaways, the sneak peeks, and the hijinks, join the loop!
