In the Flesh
Ethan Stone’s novel In the Flesh is available now!
Reno Detective Cristian Flesh lives his life by a strict set of personal rules, preferring one-time flings and anonymous encounters to committed relationships. His rules work for him… until his life is turned upside down when first, a former lover, a famous televangelist, is attacked, and then one of his one-night stands is murdered, making Cristian the prime suspect.
When handsome lawyer Colby Maddox takes his case, Cristian finds himself wanting to break all his rules about relationships. The instant attraction between them is undeniable. But before they can contemplate any kind of future together, they’ll have to clear Cristian’s name by finding the real murderer.

Why, oh why…
are straight women writing m/m fiction? I could try to tell you my thoughts, or I could just direct you to Heidi Cullinan’s answer, which is absolutely perfect. Heidi, you are amazing!
Phew!!
Strawberries for Dessert has been out for almost a week, and so far the feedback has been overwhelmingly good. I’m actually a bit floored by just HOW good. But I’m not complaining! I want to thank every one of you who has bought it and/or read it, and everybody who’s left a comment or sent me an email. I really, truly appreciate it.
Tomorrow morning, my good friend Ethan Stone will be here and we’ll be heading off to Rocky Mountain Folk Festival. Yes, this is the same Folk Fest where I first dreamed up Zach, and the beginnings of A to Z. And it’s the same Folk Fest that Zach takes Angelo to in A to Z, where they meet Matt and Jared for the first time. Early next week, I should have some pics of Ethan and I to share.
I always lose motivation during a release, so I haven’t accomplished anything meaningful this past week. I have three projects going at the moment, which is new for me. I usually only work on one thing at a time. I’m not sure how to handle it. My plan right now is to NOT handle it at all. I’ll go to Folk Fest, and maybe my brain will brew something up.
Then again, maybe it won’t.
Jude Mason and Jenna Byrnes’ Blog Tour – Day Two!
Hi folks! Our blog tour rolls on and we’d like to thank Marie for hosting us here today. All week long we’re talking to readers about our latest project together, book 3 in the Kindred Spirits series, Alex’s Appeal. Yesterday at Janna’s blog http://erotromreader.blogspot.com/ we introduced you to the series. Today, we thought we’d tell you what inspired us to write it.
Our favorite and most popular genre to write right now is definitely M/M. We’d just finished Untamed Hearts, our animal shifter series, and were trying to decide what to try next. We wanted something that would be open-ended, so we could write as many books as we wanted. The idea of a haunted inn intrigued us. The fun thing about ghosts is that they don’t have as many ‘rules’ as say, vampires, do. We follow a few simple guidelines on ghosts and spirits, but basically, our ghosts can do whatever they want. We have some ornery ones, some naughty ones, and some that are just searching for help. The possibilities are as endless as our imaginations can provide!
Kindred Spirits Book 3: Alex’s Appeal

Being Taught
Being Taught by Ethan Stone is available now from Dreamspinner Press.
Note: This picture has nothing to do with Ethan’s story. I just thought it might get your attention.

An interview and a great review!
I was featured today on Michelle N Jeff Reviews! Please check out my interview, and the fabulous review of One More Soldier.
Working on something new
Do you all get tired of these random updates? For better or worse, I seem to do a lot of them.
Well, here goes…
One More Soldier has been out for a week now, and so far most of the feedback has been very good. I knew this story wouldn’t necessarily appeal to everybody. Then again, what story does?
Strawberries for Dessert will be released on August 6th by Dreamspinner Press. I’m so excited about this book! I hope you all love it as much as a few of my beta readers.
My good friend Ethan Stone is only days away from officially being a published author! I’m so excited for him. Be sure to check out his story Being Taught, available from Dreamspinner Press on July 28th. Ethan’s first novel, In the Flesh, will be available on August 27th.
Some of you are probably wondering about the Paris story. This is the third (and hopefully final) book for Zach and Angelo, and the good news is, I finished it a couple of weeks ago. The bad news is, it’s really not up to par. There’s something wrong with it, but I’m not sure exactly what. So, for the time being at least, that story is on hold. I will finish it eventually, I promise. Angelo would never let me abandon him completely.
Right now I’m working on a yet-unnamed story about a massage therapist and a playboy. Here. Let me introduce you. This is Jaime:
And this is Levi:
Aren’t they lovely? Together, they’re weighing in about 25,000 words right now, which is the point where the story always starts to feel less like fun and more like pulling teeth. But I’ll keep writing and hoping that the pieces will eventually fall into place. Because, let’s face it, those two men are hot. And together, they’re absolutely smoking.
I’ll be back on the 28th to remind you to buy Ethan’s story. Then starting on the 29th, I believe there will be a contest over at Stumbling Over Chaos for a copy of Strawberries for Dessert. On August 1st (or was it the 2nd?), I have some guests stopping by on a blog tour. And then it will be August 6th – time to break out the Arbor Mist and celebrate! I can’t wait!
Cole’s interview
Julie Lynn Hayes stopped by Cole’s house and interviewed him about the upcoming release of Strawberries for Dessert. You can read it here. Strawberries for Dessert will be released on August 6th.
In other news, my brain is currently on sabbatical and I am not making any progress on anything right now. It’s extremely frustrating, but will hopefully be short lived.
Hope you’re all having a great summer!
