ISBN: 978-1-59632-619-4
Genre: Full-figured Heroine, Multicultural Polyamorous
Length: Novella
Sanjay Chandra and Ian Morris are flipsides of the same coin -- Sanjay, the dark and brooding voyeur, while Ian is the lighthearted, fun Casanova. But neither one is quite what they appear. One is cold and aloof, a product of his hands-off, must strive for excellence childhood, while the other is cynical and jaded by his family's fast, wastrel ways. As the saying goes: money can't buy you love.
A bright spark of red, viewed from the window of their fifth floor office, draws their attention to a woman who lets loose of the humid lethargy the stifling summer has pressed on them. She sparkles like the cool water in the fountain she wistfully dangles her fingers into.
Sam is everything they are not -- carefree, living life to the fullest, full of laughter and light.
They both want her, so they decide to have her. But Ian and Sanjay risk more than their conventionality by courting Sam. They hazard their very sense of self when they must confront what each man means to the other.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, homoerotic sexual situations (male/male), masturbation, ménage (m/f/m and m/m/f), voyeurism.
Wow, that's more content warning than I've had before, I think! Make sure to get a copy for some hawt, sexy, first time man loving while a certain young lady looks on!

A taste of next weeks new release - Red Skirt, Cool Fountain
A bright spark of red, viewed from the window of their fifth floor office, draws their attention to a woman who lets loose of the humid lethargy the stifling summer has pressed on them. She sparkles like the cool water in the fountain she wistfully dangles her fingers into.
She is everything they are not — carefree, living life to the fullest, full of laughter and light.
They both want her, so they decide to have her. But Ian and Sanjay risk more than their conventionality by courting Sam. They hazard their very sense of self when they must confront what each man means to the other.
Just a little sneaky peak into some first time, guy on guy touching:
Ian resisted the call of the sun that tempted him to wake. It wasn’t the weak, gray light that’d preceded yesterday’s storm. The warm yellow light that peeped around the curtains said the storm had passed through while they’d been sleeping.
He lay with his eyes closed, feeling more asleep than awake until a warm hand slid over his thigh. The slow, methodical curve of movement as the hand moved over his stomach left tingles of anticipation in its wake. As if shy, the hand slid under the elastic of his sleep pants and touched briefly on the hair surrounding his cock, just enough to tease before it darted away, moving to slowly caress his belly again.
Ian trapped the hand beneath his palm and moved it to his cock and pressed the errant fingers around his erection. He encouraged the hand to a slow rhythm that suited his lazy morning mood, then moved his grip away, only to be disappointed when it stopped.
The hiss of surprise from behind him brought the sharp recognition that this hand covered a whole lot more flesh than Sam’s did and woke him properly. Jay.
Ian tensed, his shock matching the no longer fluid body that pressed along his back. Moments that felt as if they were long, long hours passed before he felt the breath in Jay’s chest let go and his arm loosen up against his side. The fist around his cock tightened, not painfully, but as if to ascertain what it held, before loosening again.
He’d woken aroused, but now, these uncertain fumblings and the way his heart raced had his blood rushing to his dick so fast that in the space of one stroke he was hard and aching. Jay wasn’t alone in his uncertainty, but Ian was sure about one thing -- this moment didn’t feel bad or wrong -- in fact, it felt extraordinarily good. And that just wasn’t his morning hard-on talking.
Ian was the bigger man of the two, yet the heat of Jay’s body seemed to surround him, cocooning him. Jay’s wrist caught on the waist of Ian’s pants and pulled the fabric taut, catching Ian across the sensitive head of his penis.
His surprised grunt was more reflex than anything. It hadn’t hurt all that much, but Jay released Ian’s cock as if scalded and pulled back. Ian felt the bed rock as Jay rolled away.
“Shit. Ian…I didn’t mean to --” The regret and embarrassment in Jay’s voice was obvious. “Shit.”
“It didn’t hurt, Jay, I just wasn’t expecting it.” He tilted back so he could reach back and touch Jay’s hip. “Please…don’t stop. I liked it.”
“You did?” Jay seemed genuinely astounded, but rolled back onto his side so he was once more alongside Ian.
With a wiggle and a little tugging with his feet, Ian pushed his pants down and off, leaving them scrunched at the bottom of the bed. He reached back and found Jay’s hand, brushing against the front of Jay’s pants as he did, and felt the jerk of Jay’s cock behind the tented fabric. Jay was just as aroused as he, and that made Ian’s dick throb even more.
When he pulled on Jay’s arm, he rocked against Ian. Jay’s cock was obvious against Ian’s back, and it seemed natural as it snugged into the crease between Ian’s ass cheeks. He pressed back tentatively, trying the sensation on for size while Jay’s hips twitched, the tiny thrust driving the pair of them closer together. Ian decided the feeling, while foreign, was not at all displeasing.
He led Jay’s hand back to his cock, but just as he began to anticipate the pressure of Jay’s fist, Jay pulled away.
“Wait.”
Ian looked over his shoulder in time to see Jay flop onto his back again, and then carefully pull the waistband of his pants over the head of his cock. With a lift of his hips, he pushed the pants down and off before rolling back to Ian. Jay’s cock wasn’t just a fabric-covered outline; it was now hot, bare flesh that pressed against his ass as they slid against each other.

Red Skirt, Cool Fountain...
Pretty, no?
The release date for Red Skirt is really not all that far off - January 15th. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told the date would come forward rather than be put back to make way for my story that leads off the Husbands and Wives series.
As you can tell by my previous releases, ménage happens to be a favourite of mine, but this one is a little different than Persuading Jo or Tea for Three. Red skirt is quite a voyage of discovery where Ian and Sanjay discover that it's not just Sam(antha) they need, but that they need to confront what each feels for the other, and decide if they will act on what they find out about themselves.
So, unlike Tea for Three, where a committed same sex bi couple introduce a third who is female to their relationship, in Red Skirt, Cool Fountain the polyamorous grouping allows the heretofore strictly hetero men to explore the sexual feelings they have for one another.
Those first man to man touches, and that first time for actual penetrative sex...oooh boy! Hot, hot, hawt!!
Here's the blurb:
Sanjay Chandra and Ian Morris are flipsides of the same coin — Sanjay, the dark and brooding voyeur, while Ian is the light-hearted, fun seducer. But neither one is quite what they appear. One is cold and aloof, a product of his hands off, must strive for excellence childhood, while the other is cynical and jaded by his families fast, wastrel ways. As the saying goes: money can’t buy you love.
A bright spark of red, viewed from the window of their fifth floor office, draws their attention to a woman who lets loose of the humid lethargy the stifling summer has pressed on them. She sparkles like the cool water in the fountain she wistfully dangles her fingers into.

They both want her, so they decide to have her. But Ian and Sanjay risk more than their conventionality by courting Sam. They hazard their very sense of self when they must confront what each man means to the other.

AnneD's 13 steps to surviving your first ,and subsequent, release days
I blogged about Racy's NINJA (btw good book y'all, go get it!), and when I posted a congratulations on her blog, she emailed me back with a severe case of the "oh fuck, what have I done!'s"
She ask for my great, sage advice ( cause I'm an old pro at this of course, since I have done this...oh...once more than she has!) on how to cope with the fact the whole world knew she wrote, and she wrote erotic ninja romance - seriously, if you're a reader not a writer, there is a lot of "Ohmigawd, my grandma is going to know I know that she knows I know this stuff!" going on in your head. You really start to feel for that girl in the Exorcist.
So here was the cure I emaled (oops Freudian slip maybe?) to Racy:
Anne's cure for release day jitters:
1. Hop in car
2. Drive to the liquor store
3. Buy a large bottle of your preferred wine variety - Rieslings my flavour of the moment, and I can heartily recommend any Marlborough, NZ Savignon Blanc
4. Return home
5. Situate yourself in any of the following places
- in front of the fireplace
- in front of your open and often refreshed email and web browsers as you look for something - god knows what, but something!
- huddled under your covers as you contemplate the end of the world as you know it
6. Consume the entire bottle of wine and say some very weird and odd things to your SO, enough that he is still laughing about it next week
7. At this stage I should point out that fireplaces, glasses, wine bottles, small children and cats are extremely dangerous.
8. Wake up when its all over with a sore head that you can't shake in wonderment at how stupid you were the day before because it hurts too damn much
9. Despite your hangover, fire up the computer and hit the send/receive button.
10. When you hear the magic ding say "you've got male" (oops, another Freudian slip), close your eyes and hit the open button. Open your lashes one at a time until you can peek at the email that tell you that you're the superbest of the superbliest - fairly much, your story didn't stuck arse.
11. Dance around the room in a manner akin to a chicken being chased by a pig giving hubby more ammunition to arm him in smart retorts for months.
12. Get thyself to a nunne...umm...make that the bathroom, cause you forgot all about that hangover now, didn't you?! Then take the rest of the day off.
13. Now that you have run the gamut of all possible emotions from despair to unparallelled squee girl happiness, sit down at the computer and write so you can start the whole damn process over again next release day.

OUT!
And proud of it, I guess is supposed to be what comes next. But no, no closet hopping for me, instead Position Vacant is available, OUT you might say, today, right now, like you could click this link and go buy it CLICK ME (doesn't that sound slightly Alice in Wonderland'esque).
I have been furiously emailing, posting, sending to mailing lists last night and tonight. You would be surprised where my name might be popping up today!
If your one of the guys and girls from Borsboards.com (aka GoFistYourself.com - got to love that name Smalto), please, make yourself at home, I have cookies and pie!

Squeeeeeee!!
I got an email late last night - my Position Vacant author copies. WaHoo!
It all seems so real once I get those in my hot little hand. It is also a bit of a relief. Persuading Jo went right to the wire with edits, and because I was in New Zealand on a surprise Holiday at the time (and away from an internet connection) and things got a little pie shaped at the last minute.
This time around, though, everything has been like clockwork. Thank goodness, I was getting a bit paranoid :)

Christmas Ornament Contest
Position Vacant, my new Christmas themed novella is due out next week. Since it's all about Santa and the Elves, I am running a Christmas themed contest for everyone who is on my mailing list. Look to the side and you can see where you can join up, to join in.
On the 12th of Dec I will make a random drawing from the list for a variety of Santa / Elf themed tree ornaments (approx value $25). I might even be convinced to throw in a free copy of Position Vacant for the winner! I will get everything off via priority mail so it arrives in plenty of time for Christmas.
I'll add in a photo of the ornaments once I get the battery charged up for the camera. Murphys Law, when ever I want to use it, it's deader than a doornail :(
