Saturday, August 2nd, 2008We’ve got the ManLove authors in the Realms of Love Chat Castle Monday, August 4. Stop by Realms of Love at 9 PM EDT / 6 PM PDT for some engaging romance/erotic writer chat. Wondering what the fuss is about? Read a story by one of these authors that you really enjoyed and want to tell them about it? Wonder how these authors got published and how hard they work to balance life and love?
This week Jardonn Smith, Ariel Tachna and JM Snyder want to chat with you.
Join us at Realms of Love. It’s a fun group of readers and writers who get together to chat for an hour or so each Monday. The laundry can wait in the dryer a little while longer…
Jardonn Smith will talk about his part in the new collection from MLR Press called Hard Working Men. Four stories of blue-collar sweat, dirt, love and lust written by four authors:
Victor Banis - If Love Were All J.P. Bowie - One Brick at a Time Jardonn Smith - The Thomas Coleman Full Nelson William Maltese - Tow-Blow
There’s all kinds of hard working men in this collection - construction workers, truckers, window installers, brick layers, and more. They sweat for their wage during the day, sweat-stain their sheets at night. Jardonn wrote one and has read all four. He’ll tell you all about each one of them.
Jardonn Smith is the author of five books and instigator of the web site www.jardonnserotictales.com , where men are worshiped by women, men, and women and men together. It’s also home to Uncle Jasper McCutcheon and his audio erotica adaptations of his books and Jardonn’s books, plus his rather popular Five-fingered Bedtime Stories and Swinging with Marrieds.
Alliance in Blood by Ariel Tachna
Can a desperate wizard and a bitter, disillusioned vampire find a way to build the partnership that could save their world?
In a world rocked by magical war, vampires are seen by many as less than human, as the stereotypical creatures of the night who prey on others. But as the war intensifies, the wizards know they need an advantage to turn the tide in their favor: the strength and edge the vampires can give them in the battle against the dark wizards who seek to destroy life as they know it.
In a dangerous move and show of good will, the wizards ask the leader of the vampires to meet with them, so that they might plead their cause. One desperate man, Alain Magnier, and one bitter, disillusioned vampire, Orlando St. Clair, meet in Paris, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance of their decision: Will the vampires join the cause and form a partnership with the wizards to win the war?
The Vow by Ariel Tachna (in the Sandals and Sodomy anthology)
Adrastos still mourns his dead partner and lover, and he has hardened his heart and spirit to any other. Knowing his duty to bond and train a soldier, he reviews a trio of Army recruits, but he insists he will not choose one. Eager to prove himself worthy to serve the Army and Aphrodite alike, Erasmos presents himself for the final test…and finds that he, the petitioner, is the savior rather than the saved.
Ariel Tachna lives in southwestern Ohio with her husband, her daughter and son, and their cat. A native of the region, she has nonetheless lived all over the world, having fallen in love with both France, where she found her career and her husband, and India, where she dreams of retiring some day. She started writing when she was 12 and hasn’t looked back since. A connoisseur of wine and horses, she’s as comfortable on a farm as she is in the big cities of the world.
