Blurb: When they were young together back in their werecat pride, Bowie and Channing experimented with love and sex, as well as flirting with a threesome with their best friend Emma. Channing and Emma both ran from their needs, leaving Bowie to break away and find his own life. Now a confident Dom, Bowie discovers Channing again through a video of a consummate sub, one Bowie knows he needs to find once more. When Bowie shows up on his doorstep, Channing feels like a teenager again, all confusion and need. He doesn’t date his own kind, only humans, and he’s not in the market for a full-time Master. Bowie is impossible to deny, a force of nature, and while both …

  The Price Of Love – Part 4   Sounds from inside the cave interrupted my thoughts. A new wave of anxiety washed over me. Chenoth was no longer a spirit and would obviously be the one to carry me back. I didn’t—couldn’t—blame him for taking Barh, but it didn’t hurt any less. He’d ripped my heart from my chest and left me alone and numb. Even with my promise to Barh, I didn’t know how I could ride Chenoth back to where our army waited. When I got the courage to look, I saw a blue dragon walking slowly toward me. Although smaller than Chenoth, the new dragon barely fit inside the tunnel. I should have been seized with fear, …

  The Price Of Love – Part 3   “Why?” My shout reverberated around the hall. I glanced up, but Chenoth didn’t react. “Because what I give life to, you must lead,” Barh said. The profound sadness I saw robbed his beautiful eyes of life. “Me?” “Please forgive me, Jacks. I didn’t know.” His voice trailed off into a whisper and he began to cry again. I was so numb I couldn’t speak. He must have mistaken my silence for a refusal to forgive him. His body stiffened, and he struggled to compose himself. “In times of crisis, a Magi may marry and keep his powers because his spouse is necessary to aid the Elementals.” The deep breath he drew came …

Ashes of Life As I’ve mentioned a few times, Ashes of Life is a story I wrote for the Love’s Landscape edition of Don’t Read in the Closet (DRitC) sponsored by the Goodreads MM Romance group. Basically how it works is someone sends in a picture and gives a bit about what the picture says to them and asks an author to write the story behind the picture. Here’s the prompt I selected: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1729208-dear-author-ilona—claimed-by-andrew-q-gordon As many who read my work know, I love fantasy. There is something about being able to read about things that can’t be real but should.  Once I might have said that writing fantasy, being able to bring to life my imagination, is even better, but …

  The Price Of Love – Part 2 As Chenoth said? If Barh spoke to Chenoth a year ago, why didn’t he tell me before? More importantly, why hadn’t Chenoth helped us yet? My lungs burned and I realized I held my breath waiting for something to happen.  Running my eyes around the cavern, I searched for some sign of Chenoth. Barh’s body shook, but he didn’t move his feet. “Welcome, Magi Barhingolis.” I nearly jumped through the rock. The deep voice was strong and commanding, yet comforting. It appeared to come from all around me frustrating my search for the speaker. “Long has been your journey, child. be at ease in my home.” “My thanks, Chenoth, but I shall find …

  The Price Of Love – Part 1 “Stop!” I watched the camp grow smaller the higher we flew. We left everyone with no explanation. He didn’t even ask me first. “Barh!” Nothing. Not even a twitch to acknowledge I’d spoken. “We can’t leave them. They’ll die!” “They’ll die even if we stay.” Barh’s flat affect stung like a slap. He spoke to me like we were strangers. Barh’s magic took us higher than we usually went. In fact, I could only remember one time we’d flown this high. We couldn’t be going there. Not now. Involuntarily I looked down. Stretched below my feet, the combined armies of three kingdoms gathered to meet the Degari, a swarm of evil the …

July was a busy month and one where I came to the wonderful, yet sad realization that ‘lil q isn’t so little anymore. She met her Great Aunt Michele, went to the dentist, got to play with the big kid on campus and had swim lessons too. There were a lot of others, but these capture the month best. And what would a monthly picture update be without a few videos:

I’ve said I’d try to do more of this, so here goes.   Buy Purpose for .99 cents all day July 21, 2014. Yep, that’s not a misprint. Dreamspinner Press is offering three books a day for .99 cents.  Purpose is one of those three tomorrow.  But you have to buy it on their website, can’t get it anywhere else.  So for those of you waiting to buy it, tomorrow is the day.  Here’s a link: Purpose for .99 cents. Author Interview: Next, I was interviewed by Rachel Gebhardt on her blog today – July 20, 2014.  I’m also giving away a copy of Wayward Ink’s first two books – Bollocks! and Love, Loss, Laughter & Lust.  Read the interview and enter …

It’s Official: Yesterday I got word—contracts are a word(s) right—that Dreasmpinner Press, specifically their ‘DsP Publications’ line, has accepted the The Eye and the Arm – Champion of the Gods Book Two.  This is actually very cool, much cooler than just they bought my book.  DsP Publication is a non-romance focused LGBT press.  Dreamspinner has invested time and money into creating a line – and a marketing plan—for books that might have an MM Romance element, but the focus is on something more. Fantasy, Sci-fi, Paranormal, Historical, etc.  Stories that have something other than romance as the main conflict and tension.

What: New Free Fiction Group Where: Free Fiction Friday When: Starts Aug 1, 2014 As some of the people reading my blog know, I am not doing  the Wednesday Briefs Group anymore. I wanted to do something a bit different with my free fiction posts and felt a new format would better suit what I want to do.  I made some good friends there and still think they are a great group of authors.  If you’re not following them, you should.  There is a lot of good stories being offered for free.
