ManLove Romance Writer Chat Monday May 7

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

ManLove authors chat at Realms of Love the first Monday of each month. Lee Rowan, Kirby Crow and Claire Thompson will join Lucynda Storey in the Realms of Love Chat Castle Monday, May 7. There will be give-aways of free downloads of the author’s books. 

Kirby Crow is an entertainment editor and an avid reader and writer of genre and homoerotic fiction. In her spare time, she grows roses and herbs, GM’s her online RPG game “Nemerl”, and works on her writing skills. “Writers should never stop learning how to write,” she says. “You’ll never get to the end of what you know as a writer, because language is a living thing and it never stops evolving and changing. Just keeping up is a full-time job.”
Kirby is the author of four published novels.

2007 Eppie Winner Lee Rowan had been writing for ages and finally got the nerve to sent a story to an editor.  Lee’s  happily hitched with a houseful of cats, a Faithful Dog, and a backyard that’s haven to enough birds, squirrels, and other critters that it sometimes looks like a Disney cartoon.  She is still bemused that she find it easier to write m/m than m/f.

Claire Thompson is a multi-published author whose work includes the male/male erotic romance Golden Boy and its sequel Golden Man. With over twenty-five published novels under her belt, Claire’s work has focused primarily on the romance of erotic submission and BDSM. Her latest passion is male/male love. Claire has several new male/male erotic romance novels scheduled for release this year.

Phaze Books authors chat the third Monday of the month. Aspen Mountain Press writers chat the fourth Monday. The romance writer chats start at 9 PM EDT. You must register and log in to chat. Come on by for the fun! 

 

Male-Male Erotica - Aspen Mountain Press

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Aspen Mountain Press publishes some of the hottest slash erotica in ebooks today.

JM Snyder has published several gay erotic novels with AMP including Trin, Scarred, On the Down Low and Just What the Doctor Ordered.

Creatures of the Night, Creatures of Delight has paranormal stories by Laura Baumbach, Emily Veinglory and JM Snyder.

L Picaro has the short story Coming Home.

Here are some blurbs:

Just What The Doctor Ordered by JM Snyder:

Curt is a college professor who gets a grant to fund a summer off from classes to work on the next “Great American Novel.”  He lives with his lover of several years, a pediatrician of Chinese descent named Lee.  While they’re celebrating Curt’s grant, Lee’s mother calls to tell him she wants to visit.  Curt wants to meet her, but Lee isn’t sure that’s such a good idea.  His mother is of a different generation, a different culture even, and doesn’t speak much English.  Still, Curt insists.

Once Lee’s mother arrives, Curt finds himself struggling with writer’s block.  Because Mrs. Gui doesn’t speak to him (but whether it’s because she can’t or won’t, he doesn’t know), he feels like an outsider in his own home when Lee and his mother converse in Cantonese and leave him out of the conversation, and even his sex life suffers with Lee’s mother in the bedroom next to theirs.

Can Curt and Mrs. Gui move past their cultural differences to see that they both love Lee and have his best interests at heart?

Coming Home by L Picaro:

Robert has lived with college quarterback Jerry Bronson for the better part of three years now.  During that time, Jerry has been a rock solid roommate. At his parents’ insistence, Robert is bringing Jerry home for a holiday visit.  But who is he bringing home? Roomate? Friend? or Lover?

And here’s a romance excerpt from  Blue Murder  by Emily Veinglory

 

 “My blood dole didn’t came again today”

 “Well, any delivery service will have the occasional outage,” said the tiny voice at the other end of the line.

 “In the last ten days I have received no delivery on three days, the blood was congealed, stale or actually rotting on five, and on two occasions the vial arrived empty.  I last tasted blood six days ago and the daily amount we receive is barely sufficient for subsistence when it does arrive.  What do you suggest I do?”

 There was really no point getting angry at people who had absolute life and death control over you and yet were utterly anonymous and unreachable in return.

 “You are scheduled for a regular delivery of five fresh mils tomorrow evening.”

 “I don’t find that terribly reassuring under the circumstances.”

 “I really don’t know what to tell you, sir.  Perhaps you should have thought about this before you became a vampire.”

 On the scale of smug if you put the average house cat at three and Shirley Temple accepting an Oscar is a five, then this woman was a seventy-two.  If vampires really did have the psychic powers some paranoid zealots believed, the call centre girl’s head would have exploded just about then. 

 Instead, the plastic phone receiver gave a dejected crack as it caved in.  Bern placed it back on the body of the phone, and then slammed it down a few more time in order to jam its deformed form into place.

 He stood with his eyes closed a moment contemplating his impending death and the carnage he would probably cause first when the bloodlust took over his mind.

JM Snyder has listed some Reviews for “Scarred”, her futuristic male/male romance story on her web site. Here’s a couple:

“J. M. Snyder is a talented writer who in a wonderfully detailed manner gives the characters a dismal life that surprisingly turns into something beautiful. A tense, touching and absorbing story that readers won’t want to set down.” ~ 4½ out of 5 from Literary Nymphs

“One story that will stay with you long after you have read the last page …” ~ 4 out of 5 stars from eCataromance
