Cover art for Blue Ruin 4!

PL Nunn does it again! I'm pleased to unveil the cover for Blue Ruin 4: Need You Tonight. The new boy would be Dusty, the white-haired bishie who briefly appeared in BR3. It seems he and Blue have become very close friends.

Although I must confess, I'm tempted to Photoshop a purple pimp hat on Derek...



Blue Ruin 4: Need You Tonight comes out November 24th. Check back during the next two months for some juicy teasers!

RIP Patrick Swayze

How many youngsters know Patrick Swayze actually sang this song?



Rest in peace, Patrick Swayze. You did Texas proud. You put up the good fight, and you were beautiful until the end.

Eldritch Legacy 2: Lessons Learned is out today!


Eldritch Legacy 2: Lessons Learned
Available now from Loose Id!




Camille Rocheford stirs controversy with a novel published under her true name rather than a male pseudonym. Yet despite her modern views, Camille is at odds with the carefree morals of her peers. Lured into summering at the home of an undisclosed host, she's shocked to meet the infamous Stefan Eldritch, the greatest scandal being her instant attraction to him.

Stefan Eldritch is known for his provocative verse, more so for his wild soirees. Born into wealth, the poet enjoys a life of excess, but one luxury eludes him -- the woman who can match him in both wits and in bed. Until he meets Camille.

An unlikely pair, Stefan and Camille fall into creative collaboration -- and unbridled romance. When the lovers stumble upon the lost path of the Magi, the power they unleash plunges them into a world of reckless abandon. But sinister forces lurk in wait, putting the power of the pen and a pledge of love to the test.

Note: This book is a revised, extended version of a title previously released by another publisher, and contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, light BDSM elements, menage and moresome (m/f/m, m/f/f/m, partner swapping), same-sex interaction (f/f), voyeurism.

Eldritch Legacy 2: Lessons Learned
