Many thanks to Eric Arvin for donating an ebook copy of his forthcoming fantastical m/m romance, Woke Up in a Strange Place , for a lucky commenter to win! Woke Up in a Strange Place will be released by Dreamspinner Press on February 25.
Joe wakes up in a barley field with no clothes, no memories, and no idea how he got there. Before he knows it, he’s off on the last great journey of his life. With his soul guide Baker and a charge to have courage from a mysterious, alluring, and somehow familiar Stranger, Joe sets off through a fantastical changing landscape to confront his past.
The quest is not without challenges. Joe’s past is not always an easy thing to relive, but if he wants to find peace – and reunite with the Stranger he is so strongly drawn to – he must continue on until the end, no matter how tempted he is to stop along the way.

“You people are upside down again!! Silly people.” -Mayhem
Aww cute May!
I feel duty bound to point out that the guy on the cover is wearing clothes but the story is about him waking without clothes so has May’s quest to rid the world of naughty boys started to succeed?
