Shadow Lies, a part of Aspen Mountain Press’s Plain Brown Wrapper short stories, has released today!

Fifteen years should have blurred the edges of her memory, but for Kristiana, there is no relief. A love bite by a vampire has left her enhanced and pissed off. So what does a woman do when her old lover returns and wants to pick up where he left off?

You play to win, of course. As only a woman can.

Reviews and Coming Soon!

Joyfully Reviewed has reviewed Bound Eternally and Spaceport: Bounty!

Jambrea had this to say about Bound Eternally:

Bound Eternally is the third installment of the Bound series and it is action-packed.  Not only did Dawn Montgomery give me all the hot sex I could want, she also gave me the action I crave.  The build up from the first two books exploded with this third story.  I’m not sure if there will be a forth book, but I’ll be looking out for it because Ms. Montgomery sure knows how to spin a tale and leave me wanting for more.

Read the entire post here.

Jambrea reviewed Spaceport: Bounty as well:

Bounty is a sexy romp with a Johnny Mnemonic feel to it.  I love a book with action and Dawn Montgomery brings it on with a sexy bounty hunter.  A strong female lead is always good for me and Ms. Montgomery knows how to write a strong woman.  Poor Mack, all he wanted to do was his job and he gets the shaft because of a cover up!  Mack leads Alexis on a great chase and the two are wonderful together.  I really enjoyed the feel of this story from the action both in and out of bed.

Jambrea is fabulous!

Shadow Lies, a plain brown wrapper

Fifteen years should have blurred the edges of her memory, but for Kristiana, there is no relief.  A love bite by a vampire has left her enhanced and pissed off. So what does a woman do when her old lover returns and wants to pick up where he left off?

You play to win, of course.  As only a woman can.

Excerpt:
“Am I going to be playing with myself, Alexander?”  She ran a palm down her tight tank top, molding her breast in her hand, squeezing playfully.

He blinked slowly.   She could taste his lust in the air.  Damn him for making her wait.    He undid his cuffs with enough impatience to ease her frustration.  His fingers made quick work of the line of buttons running down his chest, and before she could blink, his shirt was on the floor.

She ran an appreciative gaze down his muscled chest.  The tank he wore molded to his skin, showing her all the right ridges and curves.  Damn.  Her memories did him no justice.

Sven Ends…

Mood : accomplished

On this post, I’d given you all a preview of the month of May. As you can see some of them were crossed out already. One of them was Sven. The 70 days of sweat, begun by Alison Kent and continued by so many wonderful people… Some of them were kind enough to stop by and give me a hurrah! The 70 days officially ended yesterday, the 16th.

My original goal was 4 novellas and it was done…

1. Spaceport: Bounty…coming in at 24K

2. Rookery Cove: Ocean’s Call…coming in at 22K

3. Del Fantasma: Bermuda Triangle…coming in at 15K (it goes to the editor tomorrow after I tweak it a bit)

4. The Shadow Demon…coming in at 20K. I’ll tell you more about THIS one, later. *WEG*

For the FIRST TIME I have finished a Sven challenge! *throws confetti* 81K holy wow. Who knew?

I feel accomplished…and ready to get to work on another project!

Author Shout Out: Horsfall by Jade  Buchanan

Saturday, March 1st, 2008
  

horsfall.jpgMy fellow AMP and Changeling Press author, Jade Buchanan has a gorgeous new cover for her release Horsfall. I read the book and I absolutely adored it! I’ve known Jade since before she came to Aspen Mountain Press and wrote the delicious Black Wolf. I “whooped and hollered” with her when she was picked up for the summer heat antho for Samhain, and I screamed in joy when she announced every contract sell. One thing I will say, if you know Jade, you know her Joes, and I’ve been a fan of them since she first posted her pics.

Jade was awesome enough to tell us how Horsfall 1 came to be. This all male ménage is deliciously wicked to read. Check it out if you have a chance. It’s available now at Changeling Press.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that Horsfall: Tail of Two Brothers is out. I dreamed this story up last year when I was out conducting two safety audits within the space of a few weeks. The first was on a horse ranch and the second was a steel manufacturer and my quirky little mind kept wandering off when I was supposed to be paying attention!

Meet Oliver Philip, a safety auditor who is about to get in over his head when he goes out to visit his new client and instead discovers two of the hottest men he’s ever met. Bayard and Marshall Stoddard are twins and they’re also Shire horse shapeshifters. Think big, burly and dominant! Both men want Oliver, and it’ll be up to him to figure out what to do with them. Now, why don’t things like this happen to me in real life?!? I want twin horse shapeshifters!

Happy Reading!

So without any further ado, here’s the pertinent info. I *loved* the story.

Title: Horsfall 1: Tail of Two Brothers
Author: Jade Buchanan
ISBN: 978-1-59596-939-2
Page Count: 78
Price: $4.49
Release Date: February 29, 2008
Genres & Themes: Paranormal; Gay, Shapeshifters

What started out as just another day for Oliver Philip quickly turned stranger than any fiction he’d ever read. Arriving at Horsfall Ranch to conduct an audit on their safety program, Oliver can’t keep his eyes off owner Bayard Stoddard. A long cool drink of water if he’s ever seen one. Just when it seems Bayard might be returning his attraction — as unprofessional as it might be right now — the tall, powerful man receives the news his twin, Marshall, is missing.

Imagine Oliver’s surprise when the abused Shire horse he finds chained up on a neighboring ranch shapeshifts into a man that looks surprisingly familiar… it seems he’s found Bayard’s missing twin.

Here are the books of hers that I have on my keeper shelf (folder, you know what I mean!!). Most of these are awesome bestsellers and receive rave reviews. If you’re interested in finding out more, please feel free to click on any of the pictures.

Hump Day Hellooooooo

Hey Gang!  Happy Wednesday.  :)  I love the mid week.  Most days.  Today is no exception.  Spaceport: Bounty is done and in the bag, the cover is gawgeous, and I’m working on my Rookery Cove.

I just wanted to take a second to say Thanks to all the awesome readers who’ve sent me emails about the Bound Trilogy, and answer a few questions.  I loved writing it. Since the answers may be spoilers, please don’t read ahead unless you’ve read the trilogy. (more…)

Chat this Friday!

Come chat this Friday with Michelle Hasker, Kim Knox and myself at the Realms of Love.  Bring yourselves out for a fun party.

Thanks for the awesome comments on Kim Hunter’s intro.  She’s a firecracker and I can’t wait to write more about her.  Have an awesome week!

*hugs and chocolate*

Open Call: Del Fantasma, Aspen Mountain Press

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
  

Aspen Mountain Press is launching a new paranormal series and is asking for submissions.

Word count: 5K–100K
Format: eBooks
Editor: Nikita Gordyn
Genre: Contemporary Paranormal Romance
Can be a heterosexual couple, GBLT, ménage, etc. Mainstream with romantic elements will be considered. Very sexy/sensual is what we’re looking for. Both graphic and non-graphic will be considered.

Story guideline:

The main characters have to do something at the bar to tie it together. They know the proprietor, who is a vampire (Cody Warren was turned while in the military serving in Afghanistan). Humans can go in to see the paranormals or two (or three) paranormal characters, meet outside the bar, etc, but at some point both the bar and Cody must be in a scene.

Stories from Del Fantasma in Vista Loma, California

Del Fantasma is a bar just north of Point Loma, California, known for its ghosts and otherworldly experiences. The owner and bartender, Cody Warren knows a thing or two about the supernatural. While stationed in Afghanistan, Cody was rescued and later turned into a vampire. He is the sole owner of Del Fantasma and the hours suit him just fine. He has normal clients and otherworldly clients, and a knack for matchmaking that would rival any bona fide yenta. After ten years of bringing couples together, not much surprises Cody. He’s certainly heard every tale of love gone right and wrong over the years. In fact, he can recall a tale for nearly every drink he mixes.

They know the proprietor, who is a vampire (Cody Warren was turned while in the military serving in Afghanistan). Humans can go in to see the paranormals or two (or three) paranormal characters, meet outside the bar, etc, but at some point both the bar and Cody must be in a scene.

Examples: Sex on the Beach: a mermaid and her true love (general idea only), Kentucky Tornado: the city meets the country in a tale of horse-trading (general idea only), Harvey Wallbanger, White Russian, Kiss in the Dark, Fuzzy Navel, Tequila Sunrise, Three Wise Men, Stormy Weather, Sea Breeze, Long Island Iced Tea, Pain Killer, Singapore Sling, Alabama Slammer, Aztec Punch, or any other drink that the author would like to do.
