Have you been squeezed lately?

Mammogram day. I just got home. The timing is fortuitous, given the recent release of Coming Together: For the Cure, huh? I love the image above (and want it on a T-shirt), even though the editor in me is screaming: It's FRESHLY SQUEEZED!

Anyway, in my typical duller-than-dirt promo way, I'll cut to the chase: Please take the Comment: For the Cure blog tour, if you haven't already done so, and leave a comment on each. You'll be raising $$$ for a great cause, and you may win a book in the process.

peace & passion, y'all *squeeze*

Vanity Search Hits Gold

I was Googling this morning to see if anyone else had picked up the torch in the blog comment contest for Coming Together: For the Cure that started on Alison Kent's blog, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover my short piece for girl-girl erotica, Listen To Me, listed among the nominees for Best Short Fiction.

A Short List of Recommended Works and a winner will be announced in each category at Gaylaxicon 2007 in October, 2007.

Nevermind that the story isn't science fiction, fantasy, or horror. It's an honor to be nominated. *bows*

Two new banners

I never quite know when I'll get a burst of creative energy. Last night, when I thought I was completely tapped, I cranked out these for upcoming releases:

eCata Reviews Switch

I don't think reviews get any better than this:

Switch is probably one of the most unusual erotic books I’ve ever read! The relationship between the characters is realistic and yet so darling that I couldn’t help but like them. Even without reading the previous book in the Erotique series, this story stands alone very well by establishing the relationship between Bruce and Mandy as well as the store without any trouble. What happens the night of the thunderstorm contain the funniest and yet hottest love scenes I’ve ever read. If you want a quick read that tickles your funny bone while being incredibly scorching, Will Belegon and Alessia Brio’s tale Switch is the book for you! (Reviewed by Lindsey Ann Denson)

Samba Sale!

August is sexy Samba sale month at Phaze! These Latin-themed HeatSheets are half price all month long. Pick up Amichu (Yeah, the title sounds like a sneeze, but it's really a Quechua word meaning "thing united with another.") for a buck -- or all five titles for just $5.

Here's what reviewer Carrie White had to say about Amichu:

Much as I would love to know which bits are the brainchild of which author, it doesn't really matter because the final result is just pure masterpiece. There's a fine spattering of humour throughout the story and the sex scenes are naughty and fresh. Thorough research into the historical facts about the artefact and the different cultures encountered just strengthens the sense of credibility you receive whilst reading this book. Excellent read.
