Celebrate the Rainbow With Romance

There’s joy in delivery, but there’s also pain. Be it delivering a baby (which I can’t do), or the delivery of a large box from my parents, the suffering and elation are mixed in. I only state the obvious because I’m planning to give birth to a new pen name. This pseudonym will be used for LGBTQ+ romance, but of the sweet and low heat variety. Leave a comment if you are interested in learning more, or, if this is too public a spot, please email me so I can put your name on my new subscriber list. I have two and a quarter sweet romances written. One of them, A Bone to Pick, has been submitted to a new publisher. I’ll let you know how that goes! Here’s a sneak peek from Reed My Lips (Les Orchestrations 1), which is currently under Emily Carrington. The premise: Two musicians in an all-female orchestra in the DC area begin falling for each other. Homophobia from others and their own insecurities try to keep them apart, but love conquers all division. Amazon   From “Reed ...

There’s this great and cheesy movie from the 1990s called Quest for Camelot. Get it? They’re on a quest and they wanted, in former times, to get to Camelot. It’s a cartoon and features a woman who wants to become a knight and a blind man who once worked in the royal stables. Most of the music is cheesy as heck, but I happen to like “I Stand Alone” which is sung by the blind guy. It reminds me of Aidan Delaney, from my Heartwood box set.

Have you ever not trusted a gut feeling because it doesn’t come true right away? This is the challenge faced by Amaruq, the FtM werewolf in Psychic Soulmates 1: Precog’s Perception. His reaction is to bury his head in the sand, or at least in his lover’s bed, and ignore the world. When that doesn’t work, he comes face to face with reality and only his mate’s love can pull him through.

This one’s all about my guide dog, RAWH (his initials) and his love of food. It’s a “Weird Al” Yankovic song from, I’m pretty sure, the seventies or early eighties. Like most of “Weird Al’s”   parodies, it’s based off another artist’s work. This one was originally “Beat It” by Michael Jackson, and my favorite parody artist did “Eat It.”   Disclaimer: I did not get permission to share this song, and I’m making no money off the artist. Listen and enjoy—this is just for fun.   The image below features RAWH staring at the camera and sitting in front of a red door. If this had a caption, it would say, “I don’t like it when you take pictures. If I sit still for this, you’ll give me a treat.”  

  Para Schooled Box Set Brief Q&A today: If you were a basilisk into BDSM, what would get you hot? For Cassidy, a basilisk dominatrix who works for SearchLight, leather is her thing. She’s enjoyed it with her basilisk lover, Xavier, for many years, but something sexual is missing from their bed play: another male to ride Zavier hard and soothe Cassidy’s inner monster. Enter Don, the werewolf who can’t regenerate his leg and doesn’t want to wear a prosthetic. Could he possibly be the third these basilisks have been looking for? And if he is, does the trouble he brings with him outweigh the love blossoming between all three? Para Schooled box set: https://www.changelingpress.com/para-schooled-para-schooled-4-b-3848

By far, my darkest box set is “The Prince and the Painter,” which is about the love between two adult students and how it is threatened by two men: one who’s a stalker/rapist and the other who’s a serial killer. If Happily Ever After following intense personal and relationship drama is your thing, you’ll probably enjoy “The Prince and the Painter” box set. The songs to inspire this book were all dark except for one: “Hope” by Shinedown. Check out their music video here, after a brief disclaimer: Disclaimer: I did not get permission to share this song, and I’m making no money off the artist.
