Aside from writing being our jobs, these sales will also help me pay my insurance deductible and replace the skating gear that had to be cut off me in the ER (skating is no joke, folks). (date of injury: Feb 13, 2019; expected return to ice: late March to mid-April if all goes well).<\/p>

At 27, Elizabeth Anne Abgral loves her job, her life, and maybe even her fiancé. But no one can have it all, and as long as she does everything her old-fashioned, high-society New England family expects of her, she'll probably be happy. Right?!<\/span><\/div><\/div>

But when she meets a handsome – and mischievous – older man at her new job, that illusion shatters.<\/span><\/div><\/div>

But just because Harry has long wished his life were different, doesn’t mean he’s ready to risk his heart on a passion that frightens him… or a peculiar young woman with the uncanny ability to make cities flood every time they kiss.

The other big news is that I am the producer of and one of the writers on season 1 of Tremontaine<\/i><\/b>, a 13-episode serial that is a prequel to Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint. <\/i>Ellen, along with Malinda Lo, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Joel Derfner, Patty Bryant, and myself have created a series about the the rise of Diane, Duchess Tremontaine. The series also features Kaab, a foreign spy who is part of the city's merchant class; Micah, a farm girl who really, really likes math; and Rafe, a scholar who wants to change the world and irritate as many people as possible while doing it.

Swords, chocolate, and (generally quite queer) sex abound.

The first episode is free in both ebook and audio format. This week we're up to episode 4, but there's plenty of time to catch up, and you can go at your own pace.

The best place to subscribe is SerialBox.com<\/a> where you get the ebook and audio versions of each episode for just $1.59 per week. Or you can buy the audio and ebook separately wherever you normally do those things on the Internet.

Be careful what you wish for…<\/strong>
When J. Alex Cook, a production assistant on The Fourth Estate<\/em> (one of network TV’s hottest shows), is accidentally catapulted to stardom, he finds himself struggling to navigate both fame and a relationship with Paul, one of Fourth<\/em>’s key writers. Despite their incendiary chemistry, Alex’s inexperience and the baggage they’re both carrying quickly lead to an ugly break-up.<\/p>

Because the stars aren’t benign<\/strong><\/p>

Reeling from their broken hearts, Alex has an affair and Paul has an ill-advised reunion with an old flame. Meanwhile, the meddling of their colleagues, friends — and even the paparazzi! — quickly make Alex and Paul’s real life romance troubles the<\/em> soap opera of the television season.<\/p>

But while the entertainment value may be high, no one knows better than Alex and Paul that there are no guarantees when it comes to love in Los Angeles.<\/p>

by Racheline Maltese & Erin McRae<\/em>

When\u00a0Kyle and Daniel return to their hometown to get married, they find themselves facing an obstacle course of family drama and small-town misadventure in their quest to make it down the aisle.

Misbehaving relatives and a reformed high school bully, along with an ill-advised hookup in the wedding party and a weird late-night meal with a cabbie and his ex-wife, leave the happy couple doubting whether they want to get married at all. But a hot quickie before their walk down the aisle helps remind them that the most important part of getting married is being married.<\/blockquote>

There\u2019s nothing like a wedding to make things interesting, for the grooms, the wedding party, the family, the friends, and even the caterer!

Sean Michael\u2019s Hammer Club favorites Billy and Montana are back in \u201cPut a Ring On It\u201d, a tale that begins with the celebration of their best friends\u2019 first anniversary.

In \u201cTony\u2019s Tiara\u201d by Berengaria Brown, Tony\u2019s sister\u2019s wedding is a neverending saga of disasters, but Josh is there to support Tony through them all.

In \u201cHaving His Cake\u201d by Genna Donaghy, Matty Strauss is about to cater the biggest wedding in his career, but the last thing he expects is for the groom to be his former one night stand. In \u201cAlways a Groomsman\u201d by M. Durango, best men Doug and Garth have to keep a wedding-day disaster at bay. In \u201cLake Effect\u201d by Erin McRae and Racheline Maltese, Kyle and Daniel return to their hometown to get married only to find themselves facing an obstacle course of family drama and small-town misadventure in their quest to make it down the aisle.<\/blockquote>

They say a marriage tak
es work, but for these brides, getting to the altar may be the hardest part.

In \u201cFrayed\u201d by Alexandra Vaughn, Esther Goodwin\u2019s first encounter with another girl ends almost as soon as it begins and it is several years before she allows herself to believe in love again. In \u201c12,000 Hour Day\u201d by Vrai Kaiser, Devon couldn\u2019t be happier about the thought of being married to Sarah \u2014 it\u2019s the planning she\u2019s not sure she\u2019ll survive! In \u201cHer Dream Day\u201d, by J. Chase, it\u2019s the day before Alex and Sophia\u2019s wedding, when the venue cancels, ruining their plans.<\/blockquote>
