graphic designer is to blame, because let’s face it, what kind of muse wants to
draw grocery store logos and catheterized penises?
When Ery’s friends Dylan and Chris head off on a European vacation, Ery jumps
at the chance to stay on their farm, hoping a stint in the country will
encourage his muse to reappear. To be sure, the farm has attracted a few
oddities—Dylan is a werewolf and the place was recently haunted—but Ery isn’t
canceling his plans just because his friends warn him that there’s something
strange going on in their pond. What he doesn’t expect is Karl, a beautiful
naked man who appears at the water’s edge.
With Karl as his inspiration, Ery creates amazing paintings and begins to
achieve the success he had previously only dreamed of. But Karl comes with
certain challenges, causing Ery to question his own goals. Creating the life of
his dreams with an unusual beloved may be more challenge than Ery can handle.
Vodou. Obeah. Santeria. These religions seem mysterious anddark to the uninitiated, but the truth is often very different. Still, while
they hold the potential for great power, they can be dangerous to those who
don’t take appropriate precautions. Interfering with the spirits is best left
to those who know what they’re doing, for when the proper respect isn’t shown,
trouble can follow. In these four novellas, steamy nights of possession and
exotic ritual will trigger forbidden passion and love. You cannot hide your
desires from the loa, or from the maddening spell of the drums. Four acclaimed
m/m authors imagine homoerotic love under the spell of Voodoo.
The Festivus Miracle:school, and he’s struggling to keep up. Frankly, he’d rather be cooking. Then

lift Eddie’s spirits, but finding long-term happiness? That just might require
a Festivus miracle.

Creature Feature: Volume 2
Two Men. One Apocalypse.
Rise of the Revenants by Poppy Dennison
Vampyres are on the loose in Detroit, and novice hunter Taz Cohen is on the job. The mission seems simple: stop the vamps. But Taz knows nothing about the mythical creatures, so he’s in for the fight of his life. Then he meets insanely attractive construction worker Darren Foster, who jumps into the battle with both feet. Sparks and bullets fly as they struggle against the vampyre horde and their attraction to each other. Avoiding gruesome death from the undead might be easier than shielding their hearts from each other.
Legacy of Blood and Death by Rhys Ford
For Javi Navarro, Detroit will become another blood-splattered city in his rearview mirror after he puts its dead back into the ground. Expecting an easy hunting job, Javi instead finds a kiss of ancient vampyres on the hunt for a descendant of their long-dead creator.
Reclusive Ciarnan Mac Gerailt abandoned his family legacy of blood and death magic after it nearly destroyed him. Unfortunately for Ciarnan, the Motor City can only be saved if he resumes his dark arts and joins forces with Javi Navarro, the hunter who brought the vampyre apocalypse—and hope for the future—straight to Ciarnan’s front door.

Paranormal investigator Wolf Kincaid knows what his foot tastes like.  Mostly because he stuck it firmly in his mouth when his lover, Tristan Pryce, accidentally drugged him with a batch of psychotropic baklava. Needing to patch things up between them, Wolf drags Tristan to San Luis Obispo, hoping Tristan’s medium ability can help evict a troublesome spirit haunting an old farmhouse. With Wolf’s sister handling Hoxne Grange’s spectral visitors, Tristan finds himself in the unique position of being able to leave home for the first time in forever, but Wolf’s roughshod treatment is the least of his worries. Tristan’s ad-hoc portal for passing spirits seems to be getting fewer and fewer guests, and despite his concern he’s broken his home, Tristan agrees to help Wolf’s cousin, Sey, kick her poltergeist to the proverbial curb. San Luis Obispo brings its own bushel of troubles. Tristan’s ghost whispering skill is challenged not only by a terrorizing haunting but also by Wolf’s skeptical older cousin, Cin. Bookended by a pair of aggressive Kincaids, Tristan soon finds himself in a spectral battle that threatens not only his sanity but also his relationship with Wolf, the first man he’s ever loved. |
When Skyler loses it, he’s surprised to find a straight jock like Ryan knows what it’s like to have your heart broken and what it’s like not to belong. Behind his cocky smile, Ryan is feeling hopeless about his grades, his chances of getting into university, and his lack of real friends.
When Ryan invites him on a family ski trip, Skyler thinks escaping the city will let him lick his very private wounds in peace. He doesn’t count on Ryan’s warmth and affection amid the grandiose snow-covered mountains with their wonderland white trees, or the magical way Ryan’s silky hair fills with perfect six-point snowflakes. He certainly doesn’t expect Ryan to have secrets of his own that could burn them both–or lead to Skyler’s first truly loving relationship.

B. If you’ve read the book as it’s been released in serial form, and you loved it, I would love to see your review on Amazon when it’s released. I love the comments so far– even the ones that say, “Damn you, Amy! I can’t breathe from the snot and my nose is raw!” So I’d like to thank those of you who have been following along with the serial–if you’ve been among those who loved it, by all means shout this one out!
Thank you, love. And ah yes, I am the custodian of the Chicken. Favours are… it's squicky to ask 😀
LOVE to see all the good stuff coming out, Amy!! (And having a custodian of the college kid is PRICELESS! – which means that no need to ask favours, Rhys….it means that you got one BIG payoff coming from the Karma Fairy!)
🙂 Hugs!
Thanks for sharing the Seductive Supernaturals boxed set!!! 😀
We can't wait for you to read all these books! 🙂
Lisa Kessler
PS – I agree, Elisabeth is the bomb! 😀
Waaa? Crystalline Prose? Um. I honestly don't really know what that means. It sounds really nice, though, and to get any kind of compliment from the writer who is my Gold Standard of how to put words together is my own brand of epic Kermit flail. I heart you, Amy Lane.
I'm looking for forward to the Bone books, too. (haven't read the start of the series yet, but I do own it.)
And Duck, Duck, Ghost. Cannot wait.
Thank you for the flail, Amy! I'm pixilated! 🙂
