No April Fools’… All IN-STOCK Dreamspinner Paperbacks 50% Off

Paperback_sale_DSPsiteThis is NOT an April Fool’s Joke. Dreamspinner Press is REALLY having a 50% off Sale on all IN-STOCK paperbooks. Time to raid the couch for pennies!

Down and Dirty is now $7.50. I think there are some Dirty Kiss and Sinner’s Gin there too.

I’ll have to check to see if you get the ebook as well when you purchase the paperback. For some reason that sticks in my head but I could be wrong. I need clarification there… LIKE BUTTAH!

Still! DEAD TREE EDITIONS FOR HALF-OFF!

Make Me A Morgan Winner!

The winner is CASSIE!

Cassie’s name was selected from among the hundreds of people who donated, mentioned and passed the link along. I had to create a spreadsheet. Math is hard. Just saying. Cassie will become a Morgan in the next Sinners book after Sloe Ride (Yes there will be a one-off).

Cassie, your name was pulled from the GOFUNDME page. Your entry was:

So sorry to hear about your family’s struggles. My prayers and best wishes for strength of body, heart, and purpose, and of course health and well-being. I heard about your fundraiser on Rhys Ford’s blog, and I hope my small drop in your bucket is part of a much larger tidal wave of good will and support. God bless.

Please know every drop in the bucket goes to support a lovely man and you are a doll for being there with us. His road is a bit smoother because of you. And every one of you.

Cassie, please email me at rhysford [at] vitaenoir [dot] com and let’s talk about how you’re going to be in the next Sinners book!

Congrats to Cassie but most of all, thank all of you. Truly. Warms the cockles. *HUGS*

SOMEONE will become a Morgan!

Well all, we have reached the Build John A Ramp goal.

I am never amazed at how the community of us works. People say that, you know. Isn’t it amazing? Well, no…it’s not. Because really you all are amaxing people. What else would amazing people do but amazing shit?

Because awesome is as awesome does.

Thank you. I know Christy and John thank you. I haven’t spoken to her yet today. I will in a little bit. We’ll keep everyone informed on how John’s doing and the funding page will still be up for 80 days.

The goal was 10K. The ramp is built and now comes the time when I start sorting through the five places for comments and such to compile the entrants.

ONE of you will be a Morgan in Sin and Tonic.

All of you are in my hearts.

Saranghae.

TA Moore’s Labyrinth of Stone Is FINALLY Out!

Labyrinth of StoneLabyrinth of Stone by TA Moore

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

TA Moore’s writing is probably some of the best I’ve ever run across. Her story crafting is incredible and there’s simply an elegance in her use of words. There is solid writing here and LoS is a finely woven tale of struggle, redemption and triumph in a challenging environment. This book contains romance, adventure and intricate prose while capturing the imagination and taking it for a heck of a ride. Don’t miss this novel. It is a blast to the senses.


That’s my review. I’m sticking to it. Seriously, I wanna grow up and write like Tamm. I just fricking do.
