    Storming Love: Blizzard – Jens & Elliot by Sara York (release date: 1/23/15)

    Jens Arnesen is only looking for a taste of the city, a place to experience Boston. What he finds is a sexy naked man who ends up being more than he bargained for. Elliot Matthews needs a place to stay until the storm blows over and the airports open. Being walked in on by Jens starts out as an annoyance but grows into the best thing in his life. When the skies clear and the airports open, they have no choice but to part. If only they lived closer to each other then life would be perfect.

    When the storm throws them together, can Jens and Elliot make the most of the situation? (more…)

  • An Interview With Lynn West – Editor in Chief with Dreamspinner Press

    WillowManLGWelcome Lynn.  Thanks for agreeing to answer a few questions today. Coincidentally—or not really since I set the dates for interviews—today is the release of my first novel with DSP Publications. So thank you for believing in me enough to publish my books.

    Thank you for inviting me, Andrew. It’s a pleasure to have you with us at Dreamspinner Press and DSP Publications. 

    Tell us a bit about yourself and your work with Dreamspinner Press and DSP Publications.

    I’ve done a little bit of everything with Dreamspinner Press through the years, being one of the founders. But I settled into my skillset (and comfort zone) by developing, building, and growing the Editorial Department. It’s a never-ending work in progress; I’m always looking for ways to increase and improve services for the authors and making the publication experience as positive as possible for everyone involved. It could be anything from making sure an author has certain information on hand before production even starts, to how much and what type of editing a book receives, to tweaking our design work. DSP Publications is part of that, as is Harmony Ink Press. I’m also heavily involved in our Submissions Department processes, especially for DSP Publications. (more…)

    Cover Reveal – True Brit; by Con Riley

    Blurb:

    Winning the United Kingdom’s favorite singing contest is a challenge for half-Afghani Pasha Trueman. He doesn’t have the best voice, but success would be life-changing. His strategy is simple—he’ll make the British public love him.

    Ex-soldier Ed Britten has a different agenda. Winning means he’ll keep a promise made after a deadly Afghan ambush. His voice is his weapon, but he leaves his heart unguarded.

    Ed and Pasha’s discovery that the contest isn’t a fair fight calls for creative tactics. Staging a fake love story could bring victory, only there’s more at stake than the prestigious first prize. If winning means surrendering each other, they could both end up losing. (more…)

  • An Interview with Jess Buffet – Author of – Always Been You

    An Interview With Jess Buffet

    Welcome Jess, since this is the first time you been on my blog, tell everyone a bit about yourself.

    About me? Well, I’m a mum of two, married, a caffine addict. I shamefully admit that though I can’t function without a mug of two of coffee in the morning, I make a terrible one. LOL I am an author and cover artist, and I love reading and writing all things MM.

    You write romance in both M/M and M/F genres. Which genre did you start with?

    I began with MM, and honestly it is the one I prefer. I’m not really sure why but I always seem to go back to MM. (more…)

  • Release Day – First Love – A Free Prequel To The Last Grand Master

    First Love BT Banner

    First Love has been released and is now for free download!  This is a short free prequel (or frequel as I call it) to The Last Grand Master. You can get it for free from DSP Publications and OmniLit, the non-romance side of Are or you can download a PDF copy from my site here: Download First Love

    In something of a quirk, if you want to get it from Amazon, they won’t let us list it for free, so you’ll have to pay .99 cents.  Kindle readers need not worry, however as you can get it in .mobi format from the other two sites. (more…)

  • An Interview with Rick R. Reed & Giveaway

    Today’s guest is Rick R. Reed. I remember the first time I met Rick, it was at Dreamspinner’s author conference in Chicago. I was a bit hesitant to say hello, after all he was Rick R. Reed and I was just a new author.  Fortunately he’s not only a talented author, he’s a genuinely nice guy and we had a nice chat. I make it a point to say hello now whenever we cross paths. So take a moment and read the interview we did, learn a bit more about Rick and enter for a chance to win a copy of Rick’s book, Caregiver.

    Author Interview – Rick R. Reed:

    Welcome Rick. I’m sure most people know you, but for the few who aren’t familiar with your work, tell us a bit about yourself.

    Thanks, Andrew. I’m a writer who’s been around for more than two decades now, writing romance, suspense, thrillers, and horror. I love to tell a good story! You can find out more about me than you ever wanted to know at my website www.rickrreed.com

    You’ve been writing a long time, what was your first book?

    My first book was Obsessed (http://www.amazon.com/Obsessed-Rick-R-Reed-ebook/dp/B00580JWMO/ ), which was published by Dell way back in 1991 under its revolutionary horror line called Abyss. It’s about a serial killer who believes he’s a vampire and he gets a sexual kick from blood. Quite different from what I’m mostly writing now! Here’s the blurb: (more…)
