Many thanks to KD Sarge for donating an ebook copy of her freshly released m/m fantasy romance, Burning Bright (Seize the Fire #1), for a lucky commenter to win!

The demons come, devouring life and light. Armed with sword and spell, Keepers meet the scourge. Above nations, beyond the law, to be a Keeper is to hold power – but power always comes with a price.

To Keeper Apprentice Hiro Takai, Keepers are heroes, risking their lives to battle with sword and spell the demons that would devour all life. His master Eshan is one of the best – skilled beyond his years, and possessing exquisite control over his magic and emotions. Hiro is lucky to be harnessing his fire-magic under Eshan’s tutelage – and even luckier to be his lover.

But when Hiro wakes as a full Keeper after his Kindling ritual, everything is wrong. Something is in his mind, bringing him new and amazing power, but it’s not sane. Eshan is gone, slipped away on a dangerous mission leaving only a cryptic warning for Hiro to flee the Keepers – who are now debating if they should kill Hiro or just let him die.

No mage is more powerful, more knowledgeable, or more true than Eshan. Hiro knows his teacher can help – if Hiro can just find him. Find him, and save him. Before the Other in Hiro’s mind drives him mad, or tears his soul to shreds.

*…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..* -Mayhem and Chaos

Many thanks to KD Sarge for donating an ebook copy of her freshly released scifi m/m romance, Even the Score (Knight Errant #3), for a lucky commenter to win!

A novel of the Dream’verse

One, two, three,
How many will my victims be?
One, two, three, four,
How many more to even the score?

When Taro Hibiki leads a survival class into the backwoods, he has two goals: to prove himself as an instructor, and to propose to his beloved Rafe before he loses his nerve completely. In the wilds might seem a strange place for that, but it’s where Taro feels most at home – and the only place the couple can escape all their other responsibilities.

On BFR, proud colonists say the name stands for “Big Effing Rock,” and brag about their planet’s dangers. More treacherous than bomb bugs or sight scamps, though, is a human seeking vengeance. Soon Taro’s students are dropping one by one, and no matter what Taro does, the killer stays a step ahead. Worst of all, Taro comes to suspect that the students are targets of opportunity – that the ultimate goal is Rafe.

Taro would die for Rafe in a heartbeat, but who’s going to take care of Rafe if he does?

As it happens, the killer has a plan for that, too.

“…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…” -Chaos

I have no idea how he can breathe when he sleeps on his face like that.

Congrats to Barb, who won Super Sock Man (Knitting #1) by Amy Lane! Super Sock Man is being released by Dreamspinner Press today.

Many thanks to K.D. Sarge for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m scifi romance, Queen’s Man, for a lucky commenter to win! Queen’s Man will be released by Turtleduck Press on April 1.

Though he works security for a major “tribe,” Joss Ravid will tell anyone that he doesn’t care if the ruling families of Kari’s Star kill each other off. The Galactic-imposed Interdiction may keep Kari natives stuck on their war-torn world, but Joss has connections. He can leave whenever he wants.

He’ll also tell anyone he doesn’t care about girls, but that doesn’t stop him from rescuing 12-year-old Paige, newly arrived and newly orphaned by tribe violence.

Tops on the “don’t care” list, though, is Zeke Cayden, heir to powerful Tribe Cayden. Never mind that he and Joss were lovers; that’s long gone. Saving Zeke’s life when the shooting starts is strictly business. Some tribes don’t want peace, and killing a Galactic citizen like Paige – or controlling Cayden through the heir – would serve them well.

So Joss is on the run, risking his life, his pretty face, and his precious liberty to keep Paige and Zeke alive and the peace plan that can lift the Interdiction on track. Why? Because how often does a guy get to piss off half a planet?

When Paige is taken, though, the lives of Paige and Zeke, the leadership of Cayden and the future of Kari’s Star all ride on the wrinkled shoulders of Joss’ work suit and he has to decide – can he save himself at the cost of everyone he doesn’t care about?

(Though this book is set in the Dream’verse, it is not a sequel to Knight Errant.)

*sunbeam bliss* -Chaos & Mayhem

Many thanks to K.D. Sarge for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m scifi romance, His Faithful Squire (Knight Errant #2), for a lucky commenter to win! His Faithful Squire will be released by Turtleduck Press on August 1.

Former joy-boy Rafe Ballard likes living on the freighter Pendragon’s Dream. Under the watchful eye of Captain Eve Marcori, Marine veteran, no one beats him. He eats well, his life is rarely in danger, and – most important by far – he spends much of his days and all the glorious nights with his beloved Taro.

Energetic Taro, on the other hand, is eager to take on the galaxy without his sister the captain standing by. Rafe doesn’t mind – he’ll follow Taro anywhere. He’s learned enough to get a real job so he won’t be holding Taro back. Taro is beyond capable of keeping him safe. What could go wrong?

With a Marcori in the picture, lots.

“Only eight hours until dinner! I can hardly wait!” -Chaos

Congrats to Harper Bell, who won Living Promises (Promises #3) by Amy Lane! Living Promises was released yesterday by Dreamspinner Press.

Many thanks to K.D. Sarge for donating an ebook copy of her m/m scifi romance, Knight Errant, for a lucky commenter to win! Oh, and this could be a great book for introducing people to m/m, as there’s no “onscreen” sex. 😉

Taro Hibiki owes his new sister, former Marine Eve Marcori, more than just his life. She’s given him everything – a home, a family, a future – and she’s working on sending him to college. Taro would rather be shot, but he’ll honor his debt or die trying.

When Taro’s honor – and the rest of him – meet Rafe Ballard, death just might be the outcome. Rafe threatens everything Taro has come to rely on, and he’s not even trying.
