No, I’m not being lazy and having a duvet day (although, of course, one of the benefits of writing full time is that I could stay in bed all day and still get a full day’s work done *g*). I’m guesting at Under the Covers Book Blog, talking about the life of a writer – and how people react to it.

Why not join me, and let me know how people react to what you do for a living?

All comments over at Under the Covers will be entered for a chance to win a $10 Riptide gift certificate! Good luck!

Today, on the Damned if You Do blog tour, I’m visiting the lovely Jay over at Joyfully Jay, where you can read an excerpt from the new and improved A Blast from the Past, and hear which of my characters from the Damned if You Do novellas I’d most like to meet.

Why not pop along to the blog post and let me know which fictional character you’d like to meet? All commenters will be entered into the draw for a $10 Riptide gift certificate. Good luck!

…talking about my literary influences (psst! They’re not all that literary!) and what I’d ideally like to take with me to a desert island (heads-up: it’s a total cheat!)

Don’t forget to comment over at The Novel Approach for a chance to win a $10 Riptide gift certificate! Good luck!

Then check out my guest post on Book Reviews and More by Kathy where I give away some of the secrets behind my Rael and Lars stories in Damned if You Do.

Any Monty Python references are purely intentional… *g*

Some sins are worth the price.

Sexy male succubus Rael has an insatiable appetite for men that gets him into all kinds of trouble. And he’s just found his favorite flavor: hunky blond detective Lars Thornsson. When those cool Nordic looks combine with Rael’s smoldering dark charms, all Hell could break loose.

Lars’s job at the Paranormal Enforcement Agency means he’s supposed to be policing demons, not falling in lust—or love—with them. But there’s something about this feisty little sex demon that hits all his buttons.

With no shortage of deadly sinners in his city, from serial-killing succubi to drug-dealing demons, all Lars can do is try to keep his private life from interfering with his work. But Rael has a knack for getting mixed up in cases that threaten both their domestic harmony and their lives.

every single one of these novellas was fun, funny, entertaining, hotter than hell in the sex department and just all around great stories…Rael and Lars are perfect together. Then we had secondary characters who threaded through all of the stories – Rochelle the petite and pretty foul-mouthed partner. She could scare the skin off a lion with just one look. She had a soft underbelly though and she ended up showing it time and time again without taking away from any of her toughness.
Four great stories that I definitely recommend. – 4 stars, Tracy, Tracy’s Place

Due out in a completely revised and re-edited version from Riptide Publishing June 24th 2013, when for the first time, all FOUR Rael & Lars stories, including the fourth, NEW, novella, A Glutton For Punishment, will be available both singly and in one volume, Damned if You Do (ebook and print).

Nice to see Rochelle getting some love here! For those of you who’ve read the first three stories in their original versions: yes, although the focus is, as ever, on Lars and Rael, Rochelle’s story carries on in A Glutton For Punishment.

When three hearts collide, expect sparks to fly!

What is it about a threesome that’s so irresistible? Is it that where one gorgeous guy is good, two are even better? Or is it the thought of loving someone who’s secure enough in his relationship to let a third person in? 
In this collection of five ménages-a-trois, two bestselling authors in the world of male-male romance explore the dynamics of threesomes—this time with two men and one woman. From contemporary urban settings to timeless, magical woodlands, see lovers coming together. They could be the couple next door, opening their house—and their hearts—to the third who’ll complete them, rural loners encountering spirits of the forest, or frustrated shapeshifters who need that special someone to unlock their true potential. 

You can find out more here.
