Talk About My Favorite Authors

Keta Diablo is one of my favorite erotic romance authors and because I enjoyed her male/male contemporary erotic romance releases Crossroads, Crossroads Revisited and Crossroads Showdown, which are the first three books in her Crossroads series and her Male/Male contemporary short story, Hot and Sticky, with Amber Quill | Amber Allure. So when I got the chance to read her just upcoming Male/Male historical novella, Long, Hard Ride, with the new online publisher Decadent Publishing. I read a very intriguing excerpt on Keta's website that had me wanting to read the novel as soon as possible. The story starts off where we meet Grayson Drake and he has been sent by a covert spy agency from the South to break Marx Wellbourne out of Elmira Prison at all costs. Gray has been ordered to return Wellbourne to Richmond so the Confederate Army can pick his brain about the maps he’s memorized but Gray soon discovers Marx is courting death from malaria and pneumonia.

Phoebe Jordan: When did you know that writing romance was going to be the thing that you would do with your life? Which author inspired you to start writing romance?

Phoebe: Did you know what type of romance you wanted to write about or did you experiment with different genres before you chose the one that you felt was for you?

Phoebe: What was the first fiction you ever wrote? And do you still have it with you?

Phoebe: How much research do you have to do for your novels and does it take you a long time to gather that research?

Well as you may know I have a website called Phoebe Jordan's Reviews where I set up all the information that I want to share with my review blog readers and visitors about my author interviews and book reviews.

Tawny Taylor

The second book in Tawny Taylor's popular Masters of Sin series is available now in ebook formats.

Troi and Amun—one dominant, the other submissive, both alpha—are possessed by the spirit of Lust. Its dark demands have tested their will every minute of every day for centuries. And they’ve committed deviant, selfish acts to satisfy its unrelenting carnal hunger. But the guilt doesn’t overwhelm them until they meet Oriel. She is their salvation, their peace. They need her. But they don’t deserve her.

Life’s lessons have taught Oriel not to trust anyone, especially gorgeous men who will use anyone for their own satisfaction. Granted, they’re sexy. Charming. Her body responds to their every look and touch. But she can’t—won't—take a chance on them. Until she realizes she can run away, but she can’t escape from the emotions they stir.

As darkness closes in, Troi and Amun’s lives, and souls, hang in the balance. The beast will consume them if Oriel can’t accept her own dark needs and trust the two men who have stirred the decadent desires within her.

Hey my loyal readers and followers! I know I haven't posted much though I have created posts that I wanted to put up for everyone to enjoy but kind of left them half done. I've been pretty busy since I got a part-time job at my local Modell's Sporting Goods store that is luckily only 15 minutes away from my apartment in the beginning of June. It only now that I've gotten less days of work so I decided to post about it today so that you all wouldn't think that I completely abandoned my review blog because I haven't. I have gotten some new eBooks as well as some print books that I'm going to be posting reviews for very soon though you have to be patient with me since I'm only one person and writing reviews is not always easy.

I'm planning to try and take some of my free time so I can catch up on all those half written blog posts and reviews that I've been meaning to get up here on the blog. I'm also very excited about my author website which I started in March of 2010 and it's completely set up now with all the information about the novels that I'm currently working on which is 1 Paranormal Romance, 1 Contemporary Romance and a Young Adult Paranormal Romance. They aren't finished yet and will need a lot of work but I hope to have them completed as soon as I can though with everything going on I'm not sure when that will be but I will keep you all posted on it. Don't forget that I also have my other websites up and running that you can find on the menu bar under the header of the website.
