Lee Brazil Presents: In From the Cold: Cold Snap

In From the Cold

Cover Reveal Blog Tour

Good morning all! Hey there Parker Williams! *hugs* *discreetly slips bribe into PW’s pocket* Thanks for letting me steal your platform for a few minutes. I’ve got a gorgeous new cover to share and an advance copy to give away. *sips coffee* For those in the audience who don’t know me, I’m Lee Brazil, author of m/m romance, and proud member of the Pulp Friction organization.

That’s what brings me here today.

What’s Pulp Friction? Well you might ask! It is about the most complicated undertaking I’ve attempted recently. 4 Authors, 4 series, 20 books, one fiery finale.

See, Laura Harner, Havan Fellows, Tom Webb and I create an interlocking web of mm romance serial fiction that culminates in a single story. Last year we took on Atlanta, and this year we’re moving into Flagstaff.

I followed a character I created, who kind of got nudged out of what was supposed to be his primary role last year.

Cannon Malloy, neurosurgeon, was supposed to be Chance DuMont’s partner. Things just didn’t work out that way. He was, as they say, too late to get the worm. *blinks* Er…early bird gets the worm, right? So being late, by about five years, means Cannon gets no worm. Not that I’m saying Chance was a worm, though I hear some people *coughs* called him a variety of names during his interactions with Rory Gaines, who turned out to be the genuine love of his life.

Well, since I allowed Rory to steal Cannon’s love, I figured I had to give him a second chance *hehe.  See what I did there?*

So Cannon picks up and moves to Flagstaff to get away from a memory of a love he really can’t have (among other things)…and that’s when the snow starts falling. Which makes this gorgeous cover absolutely perfect.

A year ago, KC Wells shared bits of An Unlocked Heart with a new writer. She asked his opinion on some things. Then asked if he’d consider talking with her while she planned Trusting Thomas, the second in the series. The new writer was humbled, and said yes because he loved the characters so much. After plotting the book out, Ms. Wells asked if this author (oh hell, it was me, I admit it) would consider writing a book with her. My immediate reply was no. She was multi-published already. Had a spate of reviews under her belt. I had one short story and was working on a novel.

Then I had the idea of how to make our differences work for us and suggested it to her. Her reply: Duh. Of course we can make it work. You need to believe more in yourself.

Thus began the plotting for Someone to Keep Me. The story of Scott and Ben. We hoped it would find an audience. I was afraid that teaming with a relative unknown would hurt the chances for the book to  do well, but the day it came out we hit #1 in Australia, the UK, Germany, Canada! We also hit #3 in the United States (against some amazingly stiff competition…heh, I said stiff).

Today I found out we hit lists in Italy and Spain!

I’m so glad that KC didn’t give up on me. Didn’t think that teaming up with a noob was a bad thing. This book put me over the top into happiness. Then, just as I was putting this together, I found this: We actually hit the lists in freaking JAPAN!

So apparently we’re doing pretty damn well. And I’m kind of doubting we could be much prouder.

(Okay, fine. For argument sake, we’d be over the moon if we hit #1 in the US, too, but we’re not greedy.)

Ben Winters says: It’s a boy!

Ben & Scott hit the shelves today!

The first book by the coauthor duo of KC Wells and Parker Williams released at midnight. The baby is healthy, and the parents are said to be doing fine. The mother, in fact, slept soundly through the birth, while the father fretted in the waiting room.

First reviews for Someone to Keep Me!

Tonight at midnight the first collaboration between K.C. Wells and Parker Williams comes out.

We are very excited for the release of this story! The first reviews came in yesterday and they were great! I think we may have a winner on our hands ladies and gentlemen. Regardless of anything else, you are the ones who make it great. So thank you for taking Ben and Scott into your hearts. Treat our boys well, and we hope that you’ll grow to love the addition to the Collars & Cuffs world.

Someone to Keep Me Reviews

Prism Book Alliance gives STKM 4 Stars!:

My View

My first glimpse behind the doors of the club Collars & Cuffs was in the story An Unlocked Heart. I enjoyed getting to know the owners and employees of the club and learn about their past heartbreaks and successes.  As each story has progressed the characters have become more familiar, and even though it’s a new couple featured the past characters continue to play integral roles in the books.

Now on the third round we get to meet Scott, an American boy (barely 18) who travels to the UK to meet up with someone he met online. Sound like a bad plan? Well, Scott is amazingly innocent and rather naïve. Lucky for him fate has another plan and he is rescued by Ben Winters at the airport.  The entire Collars & Cuffs crew steps in to help Scott adjust to his plight of being stranded abroad, and soon it’s clear that Scott and Ben are made for each other – even if they don’t know it yet.

One of the things I have liked about all of these stories is that they can be enjoyed by a BDSM novice or veteran reader alike. I think the author(s) do a great job of portraying the lifestyle in a fair and not over-glamorized way. If you know a romance reader who has wanted to try a BDSM story this is a great series to begin with because things are explained well and the characters are very loving and filled with emotion.  I always say I love a good love story when characters do really give away their hearts, and this can be said for all of the Collars & Cuffs books.
