Cover for Demonic Attraction…

…it’s a little cheeky *grin*  It’s also an Ellora’s Cave Exotika title, so it’s very naughty 😉

Blurb:

Anya Sigurdson is counting down the days.

She works on an array orbiting a distant star completely alone and the isolation is seriously cramping her need for sex.  She’s promised herself a wild time on a pleasure planet, but until her remaining thirteen days are up, then her own fingers will have to do…or so she thinks.

Damianos has other plans.  Coming from a race of pure energy, Damianos, seeks pleasure in flesh and has an unusual talent.  They can fracture into as many lovers as Anya needs.  She is a joy, a rare find, and they intend to enjoy her, love her every chance they can.  But to keep her they need something else, an anchor, another body for them to fix in her dimension.

And a prime candidate is on his way.

Call for Submissions: Samhain Publishing Space Opera anthology

Can I get a *squeee* for this anthology call.  I think this is July’s writing sorted for me *grin*

Get your outer space on! Intergalactic wars, space battles, alien cultures, and love (and lust) across the cosmos.

I’m very pleased to announce an open call for submissions for a new, yet-to-be titled spring 2010 space opera anthology. I’m looking for fast-paced, action-adventure space opera romances. Don’t know what space opera is? Think Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica or my personal favorite, Firefly/Serenity. For more information on space opera, you can check out the entry on wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Opera

I’m open to M/F, M/M, or multiples thereof, and any sexual heat level. The only rule is the story should be set mainly or entirely in space and the romance must end happily ever after or happy for now.

The anthology will include novellas from 25,000 to 30,000 words in length and will be released individually as ebooks in April 2010.

Submissions are open to all authors, published with Samhain or aspiring to be published with Samhain. All submissions must be new material—previously published submissions will not be considered. Additionally, manuscripts previously submitted, whether individually or for past anthologies, will not be considered either. Please be aware that manuscripts submitted to this anthology cannot be resubmitted at a later date unless by invitation from an editor.

To submit a manuscript for consideration, please include:

The full manuscript (of 25,000 to 30,000 words) with a comprehensive 2-5 page synopsis. Please include a letter of introduction/query letter. Full manuscripts are required for this as it’s a special project.

As well, when you send your manuscript, please be sure to use the naming convention SpaceOpera_Title_MS and SpaceOpera_Title_Synopsis. This will ensure that your submission doesn’t get missed in the many submissions we receive, and makes it easy for me to find in my ebook reader.

Submissions are open until August 10, 2009 and final decision will be made by August 31, 2009. Please send your submission to editor@samhainpublishing.com and include Space Opera Anthology in the subject line.

Questions can be addressed to Sasha Knight sasha@samhainpublishing.com

#Amazonfail

Erotic romance and GLTBQ authors have been stripped of their sales rank and can no longer be found in searches at Amazon.com.  They’re ‘saving us’ from adult content, apparently

So it’s time to get Web 2.0 on them… *grin*

After release day

I noticed a big increase in blog hits yesterday, so anyone new who’s found me hi! 🙂

My contract for the free Ellora’s Cave story Skin Magic aka Xander is in the post, so hopefully I’ll be able to share more about that soon.

Yesterday, I had a tension headache – probably release day nerves, it was my first EC book after all. (That’s still a little *squeee* moment. I’ve wanted to write for them for ages, hehe) I had to find a way to distract myself.

Ellora’s Cave doesn’t have Samhain’s Top Ten thing, which is a blessing in a way as I’ve lost a whole day before refreshing that thing, lmao Instead, I posted about my new release and then read Past Lies.

I’ve never really gone back and read something that’s now published (Past Lies came out in April 2007 – wow) and it was interesting to see how my writing has changed in that time. The story is almost unrelenting fire and tension between the two main characters, lol, so no wonder contemporaries are so hard for me to write *grin* I did have a teary moment too, which was nice.

Today, I have to look at Ruthless Beauty and my free Samhain read. At the minute that’s Pure Bond 🙂

Consort releases today!

November Eve. The Hunt Ball. And to prove her right to rule, Tate must capture a mate. It should’ve been simple. Snag a vampire barely turned and have him kneel and swear devotion to her. But Fate has other plans…and one of them involves the powerful son of the ruling Queen.

Jager, a vampire she’s hungered after for years, allows himself to become her prey. But with his promise of sinful, wicked pleasure comes a catch. Jager only wants her as his slave. Nothing more.

Tate has no plans to bow down to him…until Jager shares a shocking truth with her. Suddenly Fate is playing hardball.

There’s a naughty excerpt here and you can buy it here 🙂
