I have signed contracts with Dreamspinner Press for The Prince He Loved. I'm going off to celebrate with some cake and ice cream.

Pearls Like Rain

Coming in Summer 2013 to Torquere Press. This is a Birthstones themed story.

Beneath an Emerald Sky

Emeraldsky is a datajacker, one of the best at stealing corporate secrets. He’s hired the zonewarrior Steel-Or to protect him while he makes a dangerous run. When things go bad Steel-Or finds himself in the position of taking care of an injured Emeraldsky. Torn between the need for money, memories of the datajacker, and the desire to look out for #1, Steel-Or has to decide: does he take the money and run, or protect the only man he ever loved, even if Emeraldsky might not love him back?

Forgiving Valentine

Coming in 2014 for Valentine's Day. Under contract with Torquere Press. Watch this space for details.

But Anluan is more than a man and on the cusp of New Years they discover they don't have to be alone anymore as the magic of faerie weaves a spell around them to bring them a very Happy New Year indeed.

Rocky Mountain Christmas-Rainbow Reviews

Reviewed at Rainbow Reviews by Serena

If you like Christmas stores with lots of ice, snow, and wonderful descriptions of a wintery mountainscape, if you enjoy reading about two men who think they’re all about the physical, only to discover how much their emotions got involved before they even realized it, and if you're looking for a story with just a touch of "magical enhancements", then you will probably like this short book.

Rocky Mountain Christmas-Mrs. Condit's Review

4 Sweet Peas from Mrs. Condit

Mr. Barnette is very good at description and his vignettes of the scenery that Alejandro is photographing are beautifully written. His story of the blizzard made me feel cold enough to go get a lap blanket. This is really good descriptive writing and is part of what made the book so enjoyable.

Several things to comment on here: I loved the romance, the sex was hot, the “golden glow” ghost was interesting, and the story of surviving a winter storm on the mountain was excellent.
