In One Picture: Ava Cuvay’s “What that Alien D Do” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Jennifer Beyer! *~*~* “What That Alien D Do” by Ava Cuvay – A cosplayer at a popular Sci-Fi convention stalks her favorite MyFans content creator only to discover his alien “prosthetic enhancements” are real. As a Sci-Fi Romance Author, I’ve seen this meme a few times over the years, and it always makes me giggle. Current trends among Sci-Fi and Monster romance stories offer readers an ever-increasing variety where the male character’s genitals are concerned. Size, quantity, knots, rings, prehensile, tentacles,…

In One Picture: Michal Scott’s “My Heavenly Phantom” (Contest)

“Her Heavenly Phantom” by Michal Scott – Forced into a marriage of convenience neither wants, a mild-mannered banker with an intriguing secret discovers his reluctant bride has a secret, too. I couldn’t get into this story for a long time. What finally helped was putting myself in the place of my main characters, who are forced to adhere to 19th-century societal restrictions regarding their race, class, and gender. Under those circumstances, how could such people find an outlet to keep life from being bitter and…

I woke up to see this today: It’s the ranking for the latest anthology, Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology! I could not be more thrilled for the authors inside this collection! I wish I was one of them, but I had to reject the two stories I worked on because they just didn’t…

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

I have a special love for these collections! I started writing novels but quickly got bored of being pigeonholed in certain genres. When I saw a call for submissions for a short story, I thought, what better way to experiment and have a little fun? Soon, I was writing shorties and getting them published in various places. Then I submitted to Cleis Press with ideas for anthologies of my own, and I was on my way. I’ve tried to do…

Attention! A Quick Note About Tomorrow’s Release!

Attention! A Quick Note About Tomorrow’s Release!

Pre-Order eBook Kindle | Nook | iBooks | Kobo | Google Play Well, for those of you who pre-ordered the anthology through Amazon, I have some bad news. Amazon decided at the very last damn minute (yesterday!) to pull our book. Their reason was because they wanted to see proof we had rights to the cover image. This is something simple to prove, and I took screen shots from the photo site of the picture among my many downloads and my receipt, but it may take days for them…

Getting to Know Gabbi Grey (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Cindy! *~*~* Although I wrote my first romance in the eighth grade, I didn’t take up a pen seriously until ten years later.  In my senior year in university, I enrolled in a creative writing class.  I was in my literature phase and wanted to write a series of short stories for a collection.  Classic Canadian dramatic and dreary short stories.  My professor said, “No. You must write a novel.” I was like…huh? Interestingly, my friend had…

Go on, look up the personality traits. I’ll wait. People are drawn to me. Yes, they are usually a little unique. Sometimes, they are very weird, but that adds to the fun. I love being the center of attention. I think a part of it is because…

Getting to Know Ava Cuvay (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Mary Preston! *~*~* My Summers are usually filled with author signings, the coordination and travel to get to them, time spent with readers and other authors, and writing deadlines. It’s an intense, hectic, wonderful few months. This Summer, however, my plans were oddly absent. Signing Season happened during the Spring months instead, and I made no firm writing deadlines because I was uncertain what I wanted to write after my May release of What a Dragon Loves…
