In One Picture: Elle James’s “Sex, Spies, and Subterfuge” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Melissa Metz! *~*~* “Sex, Spies, and Subterfuge” by Elle James – Scottish UK SAS Agent on an undercover weekend assignment tangles with a beautiful Russian seductress and potential assassin. My inspiration for “Sex, Spies, and Subterfuge” was this dance scene in the movie True Lies. I wanted to write a prequel to my book, Belgium Betrayal, coming out in September. My protagonists are spies from opposing countries who are attracted to each other, trying to fight that attraction while doing…

In One Picture: Brent Archer’s “Masquerade” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Diane Sallens! *~*~* “Masquerade” by Brent Archer – After accepting an invitation to a masquerade, a coffeeshop owner finds himself on the run from a mafia hitman with a handsome harlequin. In the late 1980’s, I watched Public Television with my grandmother on Friday nights. The station aired out of Calgary, Alberta, so it played British comedies (Butterflies and Allo Allo were our favorites!). After the comedy would come Doctor Who. If I had a theater show or…

UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* “Perfect Stranger” by N. J. Walters – An undercover DEA agent must keep his identity secret from the woman he’s falling for, a woman he’s also investigating. When I started thinking about writing this story, the first image I had was of a man who resembled a modern-day Viking standing outside the diner where he’s working as a short-order cook as part of a DEA undercover operation. He’s investigating everyone who works at the diner, including the waitress…

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…

Getting to Know Brent Archer (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Mary Preston! *~*~* Life is a journey, and though I’ve hit a lot of bumps, it’s been an interesting ride so far. I’ve spent several years as a musical theater actor, met my husband in a dance ensemble, developed a hunger for travel, and sat behind many a desk pulling my hair out doing non-profit accounting (non-profit can also be a descriptor for the salary…). Creativity has always dominated the course of my journey. Many of those…

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…

In One Picture: Rhonda Lee Carver’s “Broken Trust” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Debra Guyette! *~*~* Broken Trust by Rhonda Lee Carver A retired SEAL must protect an old flame who’s feisty and more dangerous than any criminal—and dead if he can’t earn her trust. I often believe that writing a book is much like a sensual dance between partners—an emotional, angry dance that evolves into a carnal, submissive, sexy ballet that soon becomes a knotted tango. Have you watched a couple that brings a story alive on the dance…
