Thank you for joining me to celebrate the release of my newest m/m sports romance, The Nature of the Game, and thank you so much to Posy Roberts for having me! The Nature of the Game, book two in the Stick Side series, is a second chance romance. Six years ago, the main characters—Ash and Dan—were in a relationship that didn’t end well. They haven’t spoken since then and now, all of a sudden, they’re back in each other’s lives. The inspiration for The Nature of the Game came while I was writing the first book in the series, On the Ice, which is where we first met Ash and Dan. On the Ice features Mitch and…
Today, Lane Swift is here to share an excerpt from her book Dormant Heart that shows a great example of #ConsentInRomance. Beautiful. Thanks, Lane. I wanted to make him fall apart. I wanted him to feel with every ounce of my being that he never, ever had to apologize for who he was, or shy away from asking for what he wanted. I wanted us to do everything, everything his heart desired. (My lack of the necessary accoutrements notwithstanding.) Josh arched into my grip as the flush on his face grew darker and his eyelids fluttered closed. Perhaps it was too soon for us to be doing this. We’d only known…

I’m excited my good friend Caraway Carter is here to talk about his new release 7 With 1 Blow. This is a redemption story and after reading this compelling work, I had a few questions I wanted to ask Caraway. So let’s get to it, shall we? What made you go down this path? It was originally a prompt from a publisher. You told them you wanted to write a retelling of a fairy tale and they’d send you one. I was given The Giant & The Tailor, which most people have heard as The Brave Little Tailor. It’s my least favorite fairy tale ever, because the tailor is a…

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Charley Descoteaux author of Torque. Hi Charley, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current book. When did you write your first story/book? How old were you? I’ve always told stories, but the first time I remember writing one down I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. I hid the pages in my music folder, between the sheet music. Are you a plotter or pantser? 100% pantser! I’ve tried to plot things out ahead of time but the more I do that, the less motivation I have to finish the story. If…
