Welcome LE Franks (and Sara York) To My Coffee House! And a GIVEAWAY!

On 24 Aug 1325 Aug 13 By Rhys FordIn Guest Blog25 Comments

It’s obvious that a woman with the mind of a serial killer and the heart of a kitten in pink mittens would be complicated and incredibly entertaining. Rhys Ford is that, to be sure – but she’s also incredibly generous with her time and encouragement. As a new author I’m just grateful for theoccasional sneak peek she gives me into the very seductive world of her characters (I’m totally team Jae-Min, btw). So I’m doubly privileged that she’s invited me to post a little bit about the novel I co-wrote with Sara York, Prodigal Wolf, released last week by MLR Press.

Prodigal Wolf is the first book in a three book story arc that follows wolf shifter Carlo Montefiore back home to South Carolina from a self-described banishment to one of the finest institutions of higher learning on the west coast. He’s got issues, complaints (valid and otherwise) and he just wants to be left alone. Readers be prepared, Book one in the Wolves & Waves series does not follow formula. There is no easy HEA for Carlo, he’ll have to work at it and this book takes place over three days. Not so much time for peace love and understanding, but enough time to drop a Carlo sized rock into the peaceful pond that is the Montefiore wolf pack and watch the splash. No one is escaping with dry feet here and that’s the fun. –LE

Official Blurb:
Carlo has a problem, after years away he’s finally returned to his South Carolina roots—but instead of peace and quiet all he’s found are nosy wolves, romancing twinks, an out of control roommate threatening to expose them all, and a demanding Alpha who just won’t go away.

All his Alpha wants is to show Carlo who he really is, and where he belongs. But Carlo Montefiore is a man fighting his instincts, memories, and responsibilities. His beachside home was supposed to provide sanctuary, but pack politics, unruly roommates, and human neighbors at risk of discovering that shifters exist, are making life anything but peaceful. Twinks Kevin and Grady have their own problems. Two college freshmen are no match for a couple of hot wolves who like to play chase. If they don’t stop playing games they’ll miss the biggest thing to happen in their young lives—love.

Upcoming Rhys Ford Books Announcements!

On 21 Aug 1321 Aug 13 By Rhys FordIn Good News17 Comments

On the heels of Whiskey and Wry—and everything else, I needed to make some noise about upcoming Rhys Ford releases! I’d like to announce Dreamspinner Press’ impending publication of Fish and Ghosts AND Clockwork Tangerine!

14141-fish-and-visitors-smell-in-quote

WOOOOOT! Fish and Ghosts, a paranormal contemporary, will be released by Dreamspinner at the end of this year. I’m saying Novemberish 2013! I hope you all welcome Tristan and Wolf in this first of the Hellsinger series!

This book is a bit on the humourous side, a little bit paranormal and a hell of a lot of fun to write. I’ll include the blurb for the book at the end of this post.

Secondly, Clockwork Tangerine is a steampunk novella at more than 20,000 words.

I’m taking you to an alternative universe Victorian Age where the British Empire never fell and there is a constant social and philosophical battle between Science and the Arcane!

Find out what happens when Marcus Stenhill, a Viscount of noble British blood comes face to face with Robin, the technocrat whose fascinating inventions were the instrument in Marcus’ father’s death.

Clockwork Tangerine will be out Marchish 2014.

Fish and Ghosts’ Blurb
Tristan Pryce’s relatives think he’s insane and they want paranormal investigator Wolf Kincaid to prove it. Kincaid is known for debunking alleged supernatural activity and Hoxne Grange, the family estate is overrun with visiting ghosts. Or so Tristan believes.

For two generations, the Grange has provided a way station for spirits as they begin the final steps to the afterlife and Tristan will fight tooth and nail to defend the sacred trust his Uncle Mortimer left him. Tristan hopes that by allowing Wolf’s Hellsinger Investigations team to document the comings and goings of his guests, his family will finally leave him alone but Wolf is much more than he bargained for—in both the physical and spiritual world.

Wolf Kincaid cannot wait to pry back the curtain to the Grange’s mysteries and reveal its ghostly activity as nothing more than badly leveled floorboards and an old drafty house. But when he comes up against the Grange’s prickly, reclusive owner, Wolf reluctantly takes a second look at everything he’s believed about the supernatural and desire.

Especially after his own team unleashes a ghostly serial killer into the mix and Wolf finds himself trapped between his skepticism and protecting the man he’s been sent to discredit.

Interviews! For Whiskey and Wry

On 21 Aug 13 By Rhys FordIn Good News, Guest Blog10 Comments

Very boring ones. With me *grins* Heh. But still! Interviews!

I haven’t had coffee yet. I’ll gush and bubble in a bit. My Old Man Dog is also roombaing around the room. I’m waiting for him to settle down on his doggie bed. And Yoshi Plumpbutt has already taken possession of my computer table. Her nickname is Pudge Pudge for a reason. She’s tilting the table. I swear.

Come visit me at TWO blogs today!

Book Whores United! was nice enough to have me come visit over there. You can head over here to read the interview and while you’re there, check out the reviews!

AND!

Under the Covers Book Blog! has a very long rambling piece where I obviously had too much sugar and waxed on and off about writing. Check out the interview here and delve around the site. They’ve got a lot going on over there!
