Getting to Know A.J. Harris (Contest)

Getting to Know A.J. Harris (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Debra Guyette! *~*~* Who is A.J. Harris? My alter-egotist? A pen name for my spicy and erotic work? All the above. But, also, a reminder of the people who (unknowingly) got me into writing ribald tales. The first was my sister. She calls me A.J., all the time, even though those aren’t my initials! She was also one of the two big romance readers in my house when growing up. It’s only fitting my name is a…

Revisiting COWBOYS! (Contest)

Revisiting COWBOYS! (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Terra Oenning! *~*~* I’ve been editing and publishing short story collections for over a decade. I started putting them together for Cleis Press but beginning with Conquests: An Anthology of Smoldering Viking Romance, which I published in 2015, I went the indie route. Yes, the title is a bit over the top, but the stories…! I loved the experience, so once a year, until 2021’s Cowboys, I organized a new anthology. Why do I do it? It’s…

Getting to Know Ava Cuvay (Contest)

Getting to Know Ava Cuvay (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Alisongail! *~*~* What an odd task, coming up with interesting tidbits to share with you, especially as I consider myself painfully entrenched in the oversharing side of TMI (Or maybe I’m not the only one to blurt in the middle of a PTO meeting the fact my gynecologist warms the speculum?). So what would you blog readers like to know about me? Hard to anticipate, since I feel like an open book (and not a very titillating…

In One Picture: Ava Cuvay’s “Solar Flare” (Contest)

In One Picture: Ava Cuvay’s “Solar Flare” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Colleen C! *~*~* Solar Flare by Ava Cuvay  An interplanetary rancher recruits hired guns to help herd her livestock and falls into the arms of their sexy leader “…like a crehdisth worm to a solar flare.” I’ve used this phrase in my Sci-Fi Romance novels from my Heart Nebula Series, meant to give the impression of powerful attraction. When Delilah put the call out for Cowboys short stories for this year’s anthology, I knew it was my…
