I am so pleased to receive the first review from Elisa Rolle: My Reviews and Ramblings. Elisa is a reader from Italy and often reviews m/m books, so I’m happy she enjoyed Brandon and Ron’s story!
Here’s a snippet from the review:

“The book is written if first point of view and follows Brandon’s thoughts. Like Brandon, also Ron seems to be a very “easy” man regarding sex, and so their relationship is from the start down and dirty. Ron has not a simple behavior, he sometime acts like a domineering man, and wants to be the Alpha of the moment, and soon after he seems to need the strenght and the reassurance of Brandon. Brandon instead is simpler, he has his scope in mind and he will do anything to reach it.

Happy Birthday to our Brigid aka Jeanne Barrack! May you have a fantastic day and be blessed always and more for all that you do.
From the LAW ladies

I was interviewed on a very cool blog recently called Nose in a Book. Shortly afterward, lisabea wrote to me and a few other authors and asked us if we’d name our “desert island keepers” or, in other words, the 5 men we’d choose to have with us if we were deserted on a desert island.

Not an easy list to come up with. Even harder now that I’ve read other people’s lists. It’s one of those things that after you read someone else’s list you think “oh man, I didn’t even think of him! I want him too!”

But I still stand by the list I came up with, which is: Luc from Purgatory, Radin from the Dark Elves series (yeah, I like my own guys), Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Jean-Claude and Nathaniel from LKH’s Anita Blake series. Galen from LKH’s Merry Gentry series was a serious contender too.

So, give it some thought. Who would you choose to have?

On this particular day, I wanted to recognize my fantastic friends: the Ladies of LAW. Our bond goes beyond friendship and I know no matter what comes my way, they’ll be there to support me. So while they may not be my mother….they are women who inspire me…fight for me…love me….just like a mother is supposed to do.

So….I raise my glass and thank the goddess, she sent such beautiful women into my life!

I just received my first review for Death by Delilah.  5 stars from JERR!  This is a review site I respect and I tell you why in a moment.  First.  Read this, please!

Title: Death By Delilah
Author: Ashlyn Chase
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave Publishing
Publisher URL: www.ellorascave.com <http://www.ellorascave.com/>
Reviewer: Elizabeth Marie
Rating: 5 Stars
Heat level: H

What a fabulous read! A couple who have been attracted to one another for
many years, a military setting, ghostly involvement and complete fun! You
will enjoy this read, there’s no two ways about it. The characters are well developed and very likeable. They know what they want and will find a way to achieve it. Their chemistry is fantastic.

I like the JERR review site (as well as TRS blue and FAR and a few others) for three simple reasons.

1) They review only erotic romance so they know what our readers expect.

2) They never criticize a novella for not being a novel.  A lot of erotic romance is too intense to keep up throughout an entire novel.  It tires the reader as well as the writer.

3) And speaking of readers, the third reason I love JERR is that its review staff is made up ONLY of avid readers.  They are intelligent, well-written reviews, but no authors, editors or publishers work there, this skirting any issues of bias.

To fair and honest reviewers, I raise my glass in a virtual toast.  It’s not an easy job you do, but when it’s done well, you are a boost not only to our egos, but also to our careers.  Thank you.

I am so thrilled to share that I finally have a cover for The Sweet Flag, my m/m paranormal historical, vampire romance for Loose Id!
The artist, Marci Gass, really got the feel of the story and the guys are just about perfect!
The story is set during the 1860s and present day America. i did a slew of research for this story and hope to revisit the period again.

Check out my blog at http://jeanneworldsnewsletter.blogspot.com/ and let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think of the cover!
