Happy birthday, Hubby :D

Today is my awesome husband's birthday :)

We'll be celebrating later tonight, probably just going to have a few friends over for dinner and drinks. He has the mentality of an old man and doesn't want to make a big deal out of his birthday, but I do.  So I figured I'd do a little giveaway just because. The prize is your choice of a free PDF of Hero or of Snow White and the Hitman. Leave a comment and I'll pick the winner on Sunday!

Manga and Romance Blog Hop Winner

Well, the blog hop is over. It was a lot of fun and very informative. I'm glad I could take part in it.


So, the randomly selected winner of the free PDF copy of Hero is...Emily!


Congrats, I'll be e-mailing it to you tomorrow. I hope you enjoy it!


Oh and by the way, everyone, my mom says hi! She was totally surprised. She thought I was joking when I said I was going to put that in the blog post *evil laugh, fade to black*

Manga and Romance

Hello, blog hoppers!


I'm excited for yet another blog hop. My book, Hero, just released and so far it's gotten a few really nice reviews that I'm quite proud of. Don't forget that there's a grand prize with this hop, so be sure to comment for a chance to win awesome stuff!


Today, I want to talk about how I got started writing M/M romance. I'll spare some of the dirty details, because my mom follows my blog. Ha...ha...


Anyway...


I've been writing for a long time now and a few years ago, I decided to try something totally new to me. I decided to write a love story with two male characters. Surprisingly, I wasn't all that bad. I started posting my writing to Literotica and people actually liked it. I was shocked. I'm still shocked.


So it grew from that. I started reading other people's work and that's how I met some pretty amazing authors. That's when I learned what yaoi was. I watched a few of them and read a few. I had a short addiction to slash fanfics. It was intense and it all got me even more attached to what I was writing.


It just kept going until one day I decided I'd try to get published. After one rejection, Evernight Publishing picked me up and here we are today.


M/M romance will always have a special spot in my heart. I have strayed from it a bit with my second novella Snow White and the Hitman, but that was just me being young and stupid. I'll always love the gay boys and I will always write about them.


Everyone say hi to my mom in the comments, leave your e-mail, follow my blog and I'll pick a winner to get a free PDF copy of Hero!


OK, Mom, now you have to stop reading because there's gonna be some possibly NSFW pictures.

6 Sentence Sunday 6/17

Hello everyone. Well, this is the last Sunday before Hero releases. Before I reveal the next 6 sentences, I'd like to announce the winner of the little giveaway I've been doing with these. 


The winner was randomly selected so...


Congrats, naughtycouture! I hope you enjoy it.


Once again, I wish I could give everyone a free copy, but my husband says I can't do that. So I hope you'll all consider buying Hero when it releases on Tuesday!


As a bit of incentive, here's another 6 sentences from the book:

Aaron smiled and gently caressed Oliver’s cheek. Oliver felt himself getting lightheaded as those full lips approached his. When they kissed, Oliver’s knees went weak. His lips parted and Aaron’s tongue gently probed into his mouth. Being in Aaron’s arms was everything Oliver had imagined it would be. He was sure that if Aaron asked, he would do anything the soldier wanted right there in the parking lot.

Shameless Summer Hop Winner!

Well, the blog hop is over. I'm so excited that so many new people found me through it. I wish I could give everyone a free copy, but there can only be one. So, everyone who entered was given a number and then using random.org, a number was randomly selected.


And so....the winner is....


Ayame!


Congrats! I'll be sending an e-mail to you later today and on June 19th, you'll get a free copy of Hero!

And now, 6 sentences:
ADULT CONTENT AHEAD

Oliver grinned and wrestled his way on top of Aaron. They exchanged frisky kisses and laughed. Oliver playfully bit Aaron’s neck and worked his way down Aaron’s body. He pulled Aaron’s boxers down and his eyes widened when eight and a half hard,  uncut inches flopped against Aaron’s abs. Oliver couldn’t help but stare and lick his lips. Aaron put his hand on the back of Oliver’s head and gently urged him forward. 

Shameless Summer Hop

Now, to make it worth your while, a sizzling excerpt from Hero!

Oliver shivered and let out a soft moan. “Look in the top drawer,” he whispered.

Aaron smiled and obliged. He set the box of condoms and bottle of lubricant on the bedside table and turned to Oliver. “Are you sure, baby?” Aaron sat at the edge of the bed and put his arm around the younger man.

“I trust you…I really do…I-I think…” Oliver bit his lip and looked at Aaron. “I love you,” he whispered.

Aaron kissed Oliver and they slowly lay back on the bed. Aaron positioned himself on top of Oliver and pressed his lips to his boyfriend’s forehead. “I love you too,” he said. They kissed for a moment longer before Aaron grabbed the supplies and set them beside Oliver on the bed. He smiled at Oliver and gently smoothed his lover’s dark hair away from his eyes.

He positioned Oliver’s hips at the edge of the mattress and knelt on the floor. He spread Oliver’s legs apart and smiled at the tight, pink rosebud. Aaron leaned forward, taking in the slight smell of soap before running his tongue over Oliver’s entrance. Oliver’s legs lurched and trembled in his hands, but Aaron continued what he was doing. Oliver was whimpering and moaning into his balled fist. He was always so shy about how loud he got during their encounters.

Aaron reached for the lube and opened the top. He coated his middle finger and slowly pressed inside Oliver. Oliver pushed himself down, urging Aaron to move faster. Aaron obliged and added a second finger. He saw Oliver wince and paused to kiss his boyfriend’s smooth stomach. “Doing alright, baby?”

“I’m OK,” Oliver whispered.

*fans self* Where was I? Oh, right!

Don't forget to keep hopping!

6 Sentence Sunday 6/3

We're down to 16 days until Hero is released! Since it's Sunday, I'll be posting another 6 sentences from the upcoming novella.

You still have a chance to be entered to win a free copy. All you have to do is RT this link from my Twitter OR leave a comment below.

Without further ado, 6 sentences from Hero:

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT AHEAD!

Everything about it was perfect, from the warmth to the perfect suction of it, and it sent his nervous system into overdrive. Aaron looked up at him and Oliver knew it was over. Those brown eyes had him under the spell of a passion he’d never experienced before. Oliver tried his best, but he couldn’t fight what his body wanted. With a ragged cry, he came. His hips thrust forward out of his control and he could have sworn he saw stars. 

6 Sentence Sunday 5/27

Not that I'm counting obsessively, but it's 23 days until Hero releases through Evernight Publishing. I'm really excited!

To pass the time until then, every Sunday I'm going to post 6 sentences from Hero. I'll post a link to these blog posts on my Twitter. Anyone who re-tweets these will be entered in Kitten's Ultimate Drawing of Winning Things to win a free copy of Hero.

So, without further ramblings, our first 6 Sentence Sunday commences:
WARNING: ADULT CONTENT

"He let out a soft gasp when he felt Aaron’s big hands grip his hips. He pressed his mouth into the mattress to muffle his cry of pleasure when Aaron’s cock plunged inside him. The sound of flesh slapping against flesh and the metallic tinkling of Aaron’s dog tags filled the room. Oliver held the quilt in both his fists and pulled it closer to his mouth as his moans got louder. He felt Aaron’s hand reach up and tangle in his hair. He threw his head back and panted with the exertion of reciprocating every thrust."
