Here’s a chance to win Loving Edits by Mickie B. Ashling

June 9, 2010

Want to read Loving Edits by Mickie B. Ashling? Feeling lucky enough to win a copy? Go by her blog and leave a comment on this post for your chance!

When bestselling novelist Mick Henley contacts his editor and former lover, Paul Alcott, after a seven-year absence, hearing Mick’s voice reinforces what Paul has known all along―he still loves Mick. The possible reunion entices Paul into considering a dinner invitation, but his hopes are dashed when he learns Mick is in a loving relationship with Spanish Jai alai player Tono Garat.

Paul still accepts the invitation, and Mick asks Paul to help Tono through the final revision of a love story he’s written, inspired by his affair with Mick. When Paul refuses, Mick reveals he’s been diagnosed with a fatal disease, and the novel is Tono’s only means of coping with the eventual outcome.

Paul and Tono resent each other, but they can’t deny the strong sexual attraction between them. Can the past blend with the present to ease the way for Mick’s inevitable future? Will they overcome their differences to provide the loving support necessary to sustain the man they love or will their collision destroy Mick’s final days?

In His Arms Again by Lisa Marie Davis May 26

Description: Five years ago a cruel clause in his father’s will forced Ayden Judson into marriage to keep the family company, and to protect that business from his stepmother’s machinations, Ayden decided to live without love. But when handsome gallery owner Simon Gibson literally falls into Ayden’s lap on a transatlantic flight, he shakes Ayden’s resolve, and by the time they land, Ayden knows he doesn’t want to live without Simon. Simon, burned before by a married man, refuses to hide. So once more, Ayden must choose between happiness for himself and the good of the company—threatened by how dark his stepmother’s plans have become—except Ayden knows he’ll give up all the money and success in the world just to have Simon in his arms again.

Anyone replying to the post at my LJ (link bellow) between now and May 24th will be in the running to win a free eBook copy of my next release, In His Arms Again.

“Zero at the Bone” in the DA BWAHA tournament

March 28, 2010

The DA BWAHA tournament is a March Madness style contest (64 books are nominated and are matched up in brackets until one is left standing) run by two popular readers’ blogs, Dear Author and Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. The books are chosen in eight categories including mainstream romance, young adult, SF/F, and GLBT.  Dreamspinner had three out of the eight selected seeds in the GLBT category:  Brooke McKinley’s “Shades of Gray,” Sean Kennedy’s “Tigers and Devils,” and Jane Seville’s “Zero at the Bone.”

The tournament is now voting in round 4, and “Zero” has made it to the Elite 8 as the representative for the GLBT division!  For the first time, the book will be going up against mainstream romance.  It would be great for the visibility of M/M romance and DSP for the book to go far, so your votes are appreciated!
