Richard Fazio on Dreaming Sparta

Guest post by Richard Fazio ...

Blurb for Dreaming Sparta:

Demetrios is training to become a Spartan soldier but finds himself depressed over the temporary loss of his mentor, Andreas, to the devious Lysandra. Yet, Demetrios is determined to do whatever it takes to maintain a relationship with Andreas regardless of what's expected by Spartan society. Meanwhile, in present day New York, Andrew's father threatens him with eviction due to his sexual orientation. In his search for a solution, Andrew stumbles into ancient Greece through a dream portal and meets Demetrios. Their subsequent encounters provide them each with the incentive to confront their respective situations.

"Dreaming Sparta is a story of self-awakening through the power of dreams; its message is one of acceptance and embracing love, which is a message that's always relevant, no matter the time or place. There is no question that Richard Fazio has a talent for language and expression; the passages from Chaos and Dreamweaver were a thing of beauty and the narrative was a pleasure to read." -- Top 2 Bottom Reviews

Santa, Actually by Clare London

Santa, Actually by Clare London is now available in e-book format!

Sequel to That's Entertainment!

The cast and crew of WrinkleTheSheets Productions are back with a special seasonal production. As Gerry, the Director says, “Santa thinks he needs more positive PR this year. His market share has been seriously threatened by Amazon. No one uses him for a wishlist any more. He’s in trouble, and needs to re-establish himself with his adult clientele, so he’s on the lookout for a special gift. Something fresh, something marketable, something hot. This is just a short promo for the client, okay? Some fun with the elves, an X-rated update on the fat old man with the beard. Snow, sleigh bells, reindeer, plenty of bling.”

The official stars are the diva Quinn and the sharp-tongued Tomasz, plus Tomasz’s new squeeze. But Jack and Grady are a constant presence. They continue on their merry way, engrossed in each other, in having fun and sex -- and usually both together -- and happy to be nothing more than extras in the movies.

But this season, the mystery client appears to have rewritten the script for them!

Just Call Me Kris by Allen Mack

Just Call Me Kris by Allen Mack is now available in e-book format!

It’s Christmas Eve, but the season doesn’t seem very merry and bright for Mike and Karl. Interns in a major New York City hospital, both men are away from their hometown of New Orleans and miss it terribly. Their tiny apartment has barely enough room for a bed, let alone a Christmas tree.

Lonely, they console each other with a long, leisurely make-out session that looks like it will lead to something more between them. But before they get too involved, the doorbell rings, interrupting them. It’s a late-night delivery, a present from their friends, but when they open the door, who should appear?

Not a jolly old elf, but a southern Santa by the name of Kris Kringle stands before them, hot and hung and ready to satisfy their every sexual desire.

Sarah’s brother, Steven, has been bullied at work. To help him overcome his difficulties, Sarah accompanies him to see a psychiatrist named Michael Martin. She’s blown over by Michael’s good looks, his charisma, and his obvious interest in her.

Disgusted, she befriends a patient named Bethany and, with the help of Bethany’s brother, Jackson, they swear to bring down Michael and his perverted ways. Sarah learns the hard way that the man she married isn’t who she thought he was. Can she escape Michael’s manipulative and devious ways? Or will she become just another victim of his sexual deception?

Terry O'Reilly on Second Thoughts

Guest post by Terry O'Reilly ...

Set in the cities of Chicago and Ann Arbor, Second Thoughts draws on my experiences of living in those two cities. Go Blue! It also tells the age-old tale of the grass seeming greener on the other side of the fence as well as the eternal love triangle -- hopefully with a new twist or two.

Jesse loves Denny; Denny loves Jesse but thinks he might do better. Nick loves Jesse but is too upright to break up a relationship. Jesse fights his growing feelings for Nick, unaware that Denny is doing him wrong.

Those of you who’ve read other stories of mine may have noticed many of them have a dog or two involved. So it is with Second Thoughts—Shelby, Jesse’s Bluetick Coonhound/Beagle mutt, and Clyde, Nick’s Bassett.

I love dogs. I have three of my own. So I like to include a furry friend or two in my books. Sometimes they play a pivotal role or just provide comic relief. However, they are there, faithful to their humans just as mine are to me, usually lying under my feet in the well of my computer desk as I write, or pestering me for a treat and interrupting my thoughts at crucial times. Like Shelby and Clyde, my three are rescues. I volunteer for the agency through which I got my dogs.

My partner is a dedicated cat-person and I have come to appreciate them as well, so much so I’ve included a couple of feline characters in some of my stories. Maybe I should write a story about a dog lover who meets a cat lover and ...

I said earlier my canine characters often prove pivotal to their humans getting together or act as comic relief. In second Thoughts the dogs manage to do both. I’m thinking of one scene in particular, which is drawn from real life.

If there’s a skunk within twenty yards, my three dogs unerringly find it. If you’ve never experienced the odor of skunk, you wouldn’t appreciate how it gets into everything. When Shelby is skunked, Jesse and Nick have to work together to neutralize the smell. Ultimately they end up sleeping outside side by side on an airbed. I have yet to figure out the upside of my own dogs seeking out skunk.
