Hello Gorgeous!

Despite having my desktop computer die on me recently, I've decided to contribute a story to the Love Has No Boundaries Event put on by the M/M Romance Group on Goodreads.  While I wait for Supergeek Kevin to build me my new gaming computer (my other hobby), I'm making due with my sorry, abused laptop.  The kids have stuffed it full of video games (why yes, I do know what Minecraft is, sorry to say...), but I think there's room for a story on it. Maybe.

Here's the picture from my story prompt so you can drool along with me.  It's going to be a m/m contemporary, D/s, Powerplay (but not BDSM), fetish play lite erotic romance.  Sorry, can't tell you more so it'll be a surprise...plus there are rules.  Rules, damn it!  I hate rules, but I'm very excited to get going on this and hope it turns out how I imagine it in my head.  

Wish me luck!

Not His Kiss to Take Now Available

Not His Kiss to Take is finally available.  And yes, it's free!

So if you're looking for a wild ride with a kinky doctor and his mouthy young not-quite-a-sub, here's the Smashwords link:

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/265643

This is a m/m erotic romance, GFY, May-December, kink/fetish, D/s story written in alternating third person POV and it's novel length.

Hope to have it up on Amazon soon, but they don't like free books, so when I work it out, I'll post the link.  A Kindle version is available on Smashwords, though.

Hope you enjoy!

Not His Kiss To Take Cover Love

My cover for Not His Kiss To Take is now finished!  Thank you to the very talented Angela Waters for making my ideas a reality.

And the story is almost ready too, editing is all done.  Now just have to sort out the Smashwords Style Guide and it will be ready for uploading, hopefully by mid-December at the latest (depends on the stresses of the Evil Day Job).  

Will post links as soon as it's up and downloadable.

Not His Kiss to Take

I'm currently editing (almost done!) my upcoming FREE read, Not His Kiss to Take.  Not quite sure how I'll make it available (Smashwords, most likely, and Amazon), but will post particulars when I have it ready to go (I now estimate end of November, 2012).

Find out what happens a bossy, junkie, has-been doctor with questionable ethics meets his match in a stubborn twenty-something bundle of curiosity with a bit of a temper.

Dr. Evan Harrison has become a recluse, a prisoner inside his own house, felled in his prime by a migraine headache without end.  All he'd ever wanted was to be a doctor, and now he's nothing - until chance delivers a beaten and battered Jamie into his care.  Fourteen years his junior, gorgeous, mouthy, stubborn and...completely and unquestionably straight.  Maybe.  Or maybe not...

Jamie doesn't know what the hell hit him (other than there were three of them), and that he's broken and in pain and he doesn't know the identity of the kind stranger with the cold stethoscope, warm eyes and voice of an angel looking after him.  And he sure as hell doesn't know why he finds him sexy...or likes his bossiness.

Not His Kiss to Take is a contemporary m/m short novel containing light medical kink/fetish aspects, light BDSM elements (bondage, spanking, breath-play), lots of swear words, wishes for kisses and the use of medical gloves in a manner probably not intended by the manufacturer.  Heat level:  HOT!  Possibility of smoke, flames and dangerous backdrafts.  But you knew I don't do sweet, right?

And that lovely snowscape?  Spokane, in winter - one of my favorite cities and the setting for Not His Kiss to Take.

Some great m/m book series

I love a good book series.  The world is already built in my imagination and the characters are already beloved, so when I can pick up a new book and carry on where the story left off, it's pure heaven.  Sometimes a series can go on a bit too long, true, but for the most part, I'm always looking forward to the next one.  And I sincerely hate having to wait for that next one to get written!

When I started reading m/m books, I was delightfully surprised to find so many great series, and I don't mean great for just that genre, but fantastic overall.  So here's some series I've really enjoyed, although this is certainly not all of them (and best of all, some of these authors have more than one great series):

By Josh Lanyon (the Adrien English Mysteries):

           

Excellent mysteries, great writing and at one point in the series, I have to say I have never hated a ficitional character as much as I did Jake Riordan.  I could've thrown my Kindle.

By Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban (the Cut & Run series, with more to come):

           

Loved both main characters, even when they sometimes hate each other.

By Jordan Castillo Price (the Psycop series, with, hopefully, more to come):

             

I love the main character Vic and his warped sense of humor.  I also love paranormal, so this was a great series for me.

By Mary Calmes (the Warder series):

              

Paranormal, with each book focusing on different, but related characters.  Novellas.  Sinnerman was my favorite.

By Lynn Flewelling (the Nightrunner series - not strictly m/m, but mainstream fantasy)

              

Excellent fantasy world with great characters.  There's also a complimentary series set in the same world, but in a different time period and also excellent.

Can't wait to find my next favorite series.  Feel free to email me your suggestions at finnmarlowe@yahoo.ca! You can check on Goodreads to see if I've already found it first, if you like.

As for myself, I'm hoping to someday finish A Trick of the Light (next after A Thread of Deepest Black) and to edit down to manageable size A Kiss of Tears and Thorns and maybe have a series of my own...

First Print Book!

A Thread of Deepest Black is now out in print (and it's very pretty, just sayin'), so if you love the feel of a real paperback in your hands (and that smell...awesome) you can get one now.  Samhain has it on special right now, and of course you can buy it from Amazon and lots of other book retailers.

And, if you happen to see it on a bookshelf in a store somewhere - take a picture and send it to me please! (Chapters up here in British Columbia doesn't stock any M/M Romance, the cowards).
