DependingonYouCover

Author Name: J.E. Birk

 

Book Name: Depending On You Series: Dating In Denver Book One

(This is the prequel story to the short that appeared in the Grand Adventures Anthology)

 

Release Date: February 4, 2015

Blurb(s):

 

It all started with a diabetic kid who wouldn’t stop eating cookies. And a best friend who’d just announced his bisexuality and hit on everything that moved. And a kind pediatric nurse with an amazing rack, a lying ex-boyfriend, and a nasty case of the chicken pox.

But mostly, it started at table 42.

When Benjy Moreland almost collapses during his restaurant shift, Dr. Kyle Penners wants nothing more than to take care of him… but if there’s one thing former foster kid Benjy values, it’s his independence. A dying man and a sick little boy force Kyle and Benjy to work together, and both of them have to make some important choices about what it means to depend on someone.

Excerpt:

YEARS LATER, when people would ask Benjy and Kyle how they ended up together, Benjy would usually say this: “Oh, he came into my restaurant one night, and I thought he was cute, so I dumped beer all over him. Saw it in a romantic comedy once, so it seemed like a good idea.” People always laughed at that, and Kyle always rolled his eyes. And then they’d slyly smile at each other, and maybe Kyle would wink a little bit, because, as Benjy was fond of telling him, he liked winking way too much, and both of them would think about how there was so much more to the story than that.

 

Like a diabetic kid who wouldn’t stop eating cookies.

 

And a best friend who’d just announced his bisexuality and was intent on hitting on everything that moved.

 

And a kind pediatric nurse and her amazing rack.

 

And a lying ex-boyfriend.

 

And most of all, a nasty case of the chicken pox.

 

But before all that, it had started with Benjy dumping beer all over Kyle—and before that, it had really started with Benjy, a twenty-two-year old college senior, waking up with a horrible taste in his mouth.

My Zombie Boyfriend Book Blast

Author Name: T. Strange

 

Book Name: My Zombie Boyfriend

 

Release Date: April 15, 2015

Blurb:

 

Edward Grey is a medical student by day, necromancer by night. He lives alone with the first zombie he ever raised, his childhood cat, Boo. Edward’s life is simple: studying medicine, training his necromantic powers with his mentor, Mariel, and having weekly dinners with his parents. When he finds a very attractive corpse in a park and brings it home to reanimate, he accidentally creates a sassy, free-willed zombie who believes Edward is the one who murdered him.

 

With no memory of his former life, Edward names the zombie Kit and tries to win his trust. Kit slowly adjusts to his new un-life with Edward’s help, though he’s still suspicious of Edward’s role in his death and is convinced that Edward is hiding his former identity. Edward is very attracted to Kit, but understands why Kit doesn’t trust him. As they become closer to one another, Kit turns to Edward for comfort and love. The fragile trust they’ve built together will be tested when Kit unexpectedly regains his memory and seeks revenge on his murderers.

Excerpt:

Kit took one look at the concoction and raised his eyebrows in disbelief and disgust. “What is that supposed to be?”

“It’s your food. Mmm! Delicious, brains! Zombies love brains!” I could see right away that I had gone too far.

“I am not a dog or a child, Edward. And I don’t appreciate your stereotyping.”

Oh, great. I had offended a zombie. What a schmuck. “I’m sorry, Kit. Won’t you at least try it?”

“Is that a slice of brain?”

“…yes. Technically. It’s not human!”

“Oh, it’s a brain, but it’s not human. That makes it all better. What’s in the rest of it?”

“The rest of the cow?” No, this was not going at all well. I pleaded. I cajoled. I begged.

He poured it down the sink.

With his ten-year high school reunion approaching, Harold wonders whether Mario will be as muscular, sexy, and tantalizing as he remembers. As a teenager, it was love at first sight for Harold while tutoring football star Mario, until homophobia and bullying drove Mario deep into the closet. Now they’re both married men. Mario, a model, is miserable with his producer wife, while Harold, a teacher, is perfectly content with his businessman husband, Stuart. When the two meet again, will the old flame reignite, setting Harold’s comfortable life ablaze? How can Harold be happy with Stuart when he is still infatuated with his Adonis, his first love, Mario? Harold faces this seemingly impossible situation with inimitable wit, tenderness, and humor as he attempts to reconcile the past and the future.

The Altered Book Blast

TheAltered-f

 

Author Name: Annabelle Jacobs

 

Book Name: The Altered

 

Release Date: April 9, 2015

Blurb:

 

Twenty years ago the UK’s water supply was contaminated with an experimental pathogen, Lycanaeris, causing widespread panic across the nation. Terrorism was suspected but never proven, and when nothing happened–no epidemic, no unexplained illnesses–the whole episode was written off as an elaborate hoax. But Lycanaeris was selective. Only those of a certain age, and with a specific gene in their DNA were infected. Time would reveal the pathogen’s true nature, when those susceptible grew up Altered.

Daniel is one of thousands forced to hide his altered status by living a quiet life. He’s not like the others, though. Daniel can’t help looking so distinctive or being able to see every altered for what they really are. To those abducting altereds, that skill makes him valuable.

For Jordan, shifting from human to wolf means living under the radar to avoid unwanted attention. Meeting Daniel complicates matters. Daniel’s existence is a threat to Jordan and his friends, but Jordan can’t seem to shake the strange connection between them. When danger threatens, there’s little time for Daniel and Jordan to work out their feelings before lives are at stake.

Excerpt:

He laughed at the joke Matt was in the middle of telling, chipping in for a bit and teasing him, and then he felt it again, creeping up the back of his spine like icy fingers. Daniel stayed perfectly still, suppressing his body’s natural reaction, and carefully turned to place his empty pint glass on the bar.

He let his gaze wander along to the end of the bar, past the couple he’d spotted earlier, and—

Bloody Hell.

He sucked in a sharp breath before he could stop himself. Usually he got a flash of images, depending on how much they’d been altered—claws, teeth, and fur if they changed fully, but never anything like this. One minute Daniel was looking at a tall dark-haired, really hot man, and in the blink of an eye he’d changed into a huge black wolf, fangs bared in a snarl—clearer than anything he’d seen before.

The image vanished almost as soon as it appeared, and the noise from the bar suddenly jarred Daniel back to his senses.

Fuck.

Blurb:

As writer of the popular “Ask Eros” advice column, Simon Beck has an answer to every relationship question his readers can throw at him. When it comes to his own life, the answers are a little more elusive—until computer troubles introduce him to the newest and cutest member of his company’s IT support team. Simon may be charmed by Benji’s sweet and unassuming manner, but will he find the answer to the one relationship question he has never been able to solve: how to know when he’s met Mr. Right?

 

 

Categories: Contemporary, Fiction, Gay Fiction, M/M Romance, Rom-Com

 

Excerpt:

 

“How about you? Did you always want to be a writer?”

 

“Yeah. I think I did.” He finally gives up on work completely and closes the laptop. “I mean. I guess what I write about is kind of pointless, but I wanted to be a poet once upon a time, so I guess it could be even more pointless,” he jokes.

 

Benji’s eyebrows knot. “It’s not. Why would it be pointless?”

 

Simon gives a humorless laugh. “I mean, I write a sex column for women. Not exactly moving prose or hard-hitting journalism.”

 

Benji scoots over little on the desk, sitting with his legs so close to where Simon is sitting low in his chair that he can smell Benji’s crisp laundry detergent and citrusy soap. He suddenly has to fight the urge to move a fraction to the left, press his nose to the inside seam of Benji’s jeans and breathe him in.

 

“You listen to people. You remind them that they’re valuable and worthy of love and respect. How is that not important?” Simon is struck speechless, chest tight and breath caught. Then Benji claps him on the shoulder and hops off the desk. “Come on. Let’s go have lunch.”

Interview

Do I have any pets?

I do! I have two cats and a dog, and even though I love animals and have always had pets, I wound up with all three of them by random happenstance.

Tank is a mix: Half Chihuahua, half gremlin, I’m pretty sure. Or maybe it was half Jack Russell Terrier. I got him when I lived in Seattle, from a friend of my sister who had to move suddenly and couldn’t take any of her pets. She was desperate to keep them out of a shelter and having trouble finding homes for them. I lived in a tiny apartment at the time, didn’t really want a dog until I had a yard, but I felt badly for her, so I said I’d come by and see the dogs, but only just to see. Tank was home with me a few days later. He spends a lot of time looking out the window, viciously barking at whatever passes by: People. Dogs. Cars. Plastic bags caught in an updraft. He’s can also be very sweet and affectionate and he loves to play ball. And yes, his ears always look like that.

The cats I found abandoned on the side of the road; three tiny orange kittens, spotted after a shopping trip with a car full of stuff. The rescue was swelteringly hot and tense, and they were terrified; skittering away dangerously close to the cars speeding by whenever we tried to scoop them up. A giant spider landed on my head at one point. But eventually, skinny and starving, they gave into the slices of lunch meat we had to offer. I wasn’t really in the market for one cat, let alone three, but every no kill shelter and rescue group in the area was full. Actually I think a few of them tried to unload some of their cats onto me they were so full. I decided to keep one. Found homes for the other two. One of those homes fell through so I kept two. Dandelion is a light buff orange who will hit me repeatedly with her paw if I don’t pet her when she wants me to. She’s doing it as I type this. Buttercup likes to eat spinach and sleep in dirty clothes hampers and has a petting quota of approximately one head scratch every other month.

There’s also a bird but she doesn’t do much. Just looks and sounds pretty and drops seed husks into the carpet. The dog in Spice is my dream dog: A big, happy, lovable goof. Maybe someday. I’m still waiting on that yard, though. And I probably have my hands full. But who knows, maybe I’ll accidentally wind up with one anyway.
