From Emily Skrutskie, Oaths of Legacy, Book 2 in the Bloodright Trilogy, to be published later this year. Note: this review is based upon an ARC furnished to me for free by NetGalley. It’s always a joy when a second book in a series surpasses the first, and Emily Skrutskie does that and more with…
Read More Review: Oaths of Legacy, by Emily SkrutskieI’m building covers for the self-published version of my M/M erotic romance space opera MORO’S PRICE. Bear in mind, I’m still finessing the art placement and text on both covers. Cover #1 links in some themes from the story (faceted diamond, star-field, male fighter in silhouette), but I still think it looks a little too…
Read More New Covers for Moro’s Price(This is a long post. If you just want my review and not my commentary, stop before the spoiler breaks.) People keep saying Emily Skrutskie’s space opera adventure BONDS OF BRASS is basically Finn/Poe fanfic, and I disagree. Oh, the pedigree is there, but this story has a much deeper….birthright, if you will. If you…
Read More Review: BONDS OF BRASS by Emily SkrutskieIn honor of a great opening week for my M/M space opera romance MORO’S PRICE, here’s a snippet from its direct sequel, MORO’S SHIELD. Basically the start of the second chapter, because I can’t post the first chapter (it’s that smutty). But this is not just a series about sex: it’s about adventure, intrigue, and…
Read More Moro’s Shield snippetThe rewritten, expanded version of my smutty M/M space opera romance, Moro’s Price, is now up for pre-orders at NineStar Press. It should hit other vendors in a few days to a week after publication on June 26, 2017. A shout out to my brilliant editors, and to cover artist Natasha Snow. She managed to…
Read More Moro’s Price revised edition now on sale!I’m having too much fun completely re-writing this book. Should revisions be fun? Slightly different names, timelines, inciting incidents, backstory. Still a big, messy space opera romance. Still familiar to the 1500 – 2000 of you who read the first one, but hopefully much better. The new first line of the new Chapter 1…
Read More First look: Moro’s Price revisionsSo, since I didn’t get Singer In Rhunshan into PitchWars (and knew it would be a longshot), I’m back to the revisions on Moro’s Price. For those of you who didn’t know, the latter is a big space opera-ish M/M erotic romance set against a futuristic but by no means scientific background. When wrote it…
Read More Valier, digital pastel, 8-26-2016I say ‘first edition’ because I have several future paths for my first published novel, now that its association with Loose Id LLC has come to an end. Moro’s Price no longer exists as an ebook on Amazon.com, or on the Loose Id website. Over the next month or so, it will leave AllRomance Ebooks,…
Read More Moro’s Price first edition 2012 to 2016A special welcome to John Tristan, a UK author who is becoming a rising star through his M/M novels from Loose Id and Carina Press. I first stumbled across his work when I read his Loose Id debut Forest of Glass, then A Stranger in Skoria and A Slave in Skoria. Next came The Adorned,…
