SECRET IDENTITIES:  A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY Editor: Delilah Devlin Deadline: January 15, 2024 SECRET IDENTITIES is open to all authors. Editor/Author Delilah Devlin is looking for stories for a romantic erotica anthology tentatively entitled SECRET IDENTITIES:  A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY. Why write a short story for this collection? Well, it’s certainly not about making a lot of money, so why do it at all? I’ve said this before, many times, but here are my thoughts… Writing a short…

In One Picture: Elle James’s “Storm on the Bayou” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* Storm on the Bayou by Elle James A retired Navy SEAL and a pretty parish deputy hole up in a bayou fishing shack, weathering a violent meteorological and unexpectedly passionate storm. I love the Louisiana Bayous, the mysticism, the Cajuns and Voodoo! My Brotherhood Protectors needed another location to expand into, and I thought…BAYOU Brotherhood! You can hide a lot of bad guys and bodies in a bayou. “Storm on the Bayou” is a prelude to what’s…

UPDATE: The winner is…Diane Garland! *~*~* This Time Forever by N.J. Walters A retired Delta Force operator thwarts a holdup, saving the life of the woman he left behind twenty-seven years ago. When I started thinking about writing this story, the first image I had was of a man leaning over a sink in a motel bathroom staring at his reflection and wondering how he got here. After twenty-seven years of service to his country, he had some silver in his…

UPDATE: The winner is…Beverly Blank! *~*~* Clear to Engage by Sukie Chapin One struggling bookshop owner, one hot-as-hell former SEAL-turned-carpenter, one line drawn in the sand—until the job is done, they’re not clear to engage. I’m enchanted by bookstores. We have the most amazing indie bookstore in my town, complete with comfy couches, a table with a jigsaw puzzle where my kiddo could hang for hours, and the kindest, most passionate staff. It’s one of my favorite places on the planet. And,…

Getting to Know Kimberly Dean (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Colleen C! *~*~* Why did I start writing? Because my favorite authors weren’t writing fast enough! It was before indie publishing, and authors often had only one book per year. Two, maximum. I sat down just to try, and I remember when something clicked inside my head. I get this, I thought. It was just a lark, and I had no intentions of publishing until I ran across a call for writers. A page in the back…
