Just Released – Steamlust

 

I’m clearly still recovering from the insanity of Romanticon, because I totally forgot that Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance released yesterday from Cleis Press!

This is an amazing collection of erotic steampunk that is sure to get your engines primed.  I squeed a little when Amazon sent me my shipping notification this morning. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

You can check out my story The Undeciphered Heart, along with many other kick-ass tales.

Back to Work!

 

I love fall. I love getting back to the routine of things and letting my life take on some semblance of order. Being a creature of habit, there is something calming about getting the kids back to school.

Review – Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance

There is nothing like getting a great review to put a smile on an author’s face! I’ll be picking up this month’s RT Book Reviews (and you should too!) so I can save a copy of our first review for Steamlust!

RT has given the anthology a 4 star rating, and The Undeciphered Heart even got a small shout out.

*does a snoopy dance*

Steamlust isn’t out until October 11th, but you can pre-order it here.

 

 

 

Release Dates, Moves and OMG Edits!

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the old blog. Very busy few weeks for me. Good news for you if you’re looking for some new releases from me. :D

I’ve just found out that No Master, book three in the Bounty series, will be released on July 6th from Ellora’s Cave. This story focuses on Korbin, the Admiral of the Black and his second in command Zain Strand. Here’s the blurb!

No man in the galaxy inspires more fear than Korbin, the Admiral of the Black. His life as leader of the pirates leaves little room for trust, so when Korbin’s second in command disappears without a trace he suspects the worst.

Zain Strand has left his life as a sex slave behind and risen within the pirates’ ranks, but he’ll abandon it all to rescue an old friend from recapture by the slavers–even if that means a suicidal confrontation with his old master. He doesn’t expect Korbin’s arrival, doesn’t want Korbin’s help…but Korbin gives Zain no choice.

Posing as Master and slave to infiltrate a slave auction, Korbin and Zain embark on a journey of lust that rapidly reveals their deeper feelings. When Zain’s old master discovers their ruse, Zorbin must do everything in his power to save both their lives and their new-found love.

I’ve also been diligently working on edits for a number of my fall releases. The first two books in the Long Shots series are done and off, and I’m nearly done the edits for book three. While I always love the books I write, I’m finding myself particularly excited about this series. Not only because it will be my first with Carina Press, but also the characters really jumped to life for me. I can’t wait to share them with everyone.

My release schedule for the year is currently the following:

No Master – July 6th, Ellora’s Cave
Girls Who Bite – September 13th, Cleis Press
Double Shot – October 3, Carina Press
Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance – October 11, Cleis Press
A Shot In the Dark – November 7th, Carina Press
Agony/Ecstasy – December 6th, Berkley Heat
Pulled Long – December 12th, Carina Press

I’ve also been moving this week. It was an insane weekend of packing and lugging, but we are 99% done. One room left to finish and some cleaning. Then the unpacking fun begins. My kids are settling down and the dogs are slowly adjusting. The only one who doesn’t seem thrown off by the whole affair is my cat. She’s a trooper!

And don’t forget my new blog! I post every Tuesday over at gee/k/ink, a place where we discuss all things geeky and kinky…and trust me when I say the conversations have been very interesting! Stop by and say hello. :D

So how is everyone doing? Let me know!

OMG Another one! Steamlust: Erotic Steampunk

Wow…so I think I can officially say that I’m on a roll. I found out yesterday that I have sold another short story to Cleis Press, this one to be included in their Steamlust: Steampunk Erotic Romance anthology!

The Undeciphered Heart is a quick story of love, both lost and found. I’m thrilled to be a part of this anthology, which has a forward written by the stunningly talented Meljean Brooks!

Steamlust is romantic erotica that reflects the excitement, fantasy and rebellion of  steampunk. Not sure what steampunk is? Think Victorian elegance and aesthetics meets futuristic invention and exploration. The genre of steampunk itself has transcended the Victorian (or Edwardian) eras — in Kristina Wright’s inventive anthology, it can be any time period, real or imagined, that blends elements of science, history, fantasy and technology. Until Steamlust, the genre had been missing romantic relationships and erotic encounters. Steampunk erotic romance is shiny brass and crushed velvet; mechanical inventions and romantic conventions; sexual fantasy and kinky fetish. It’s steam powered sexy romance!

Editrix extraordinaire Kristina Wright creates a lush and fantastical world of women-centered stories and romantic scenarios, first for steampunk fiction. Fetishizing the wardrobe, language, fantasy and rituals of steampunk, Steamlust includes alternate histories, second worlds, time travel and contemporary settings.

Steamlust will be available in October 11, 2011, and you can pre-order it from Amazon today!
