Hi everyone —

I’m delighted to welcome a whole bunch of friends to the blog with their new collection of stories called STORMING LOVE: Flood. Before i turn this over to Jenn Dease who will introduce you to her story, let me tell you to LEAVE COMMENTS because there will be prizes awarded at every blog where the books are featured! Jenn will tell you about her prize below. PLUS, there’s a Rafflecopter, so don’t miss that! Okay? Here’s Jenn —

A big ‘Thank You!’ to Tara Lain for having me today. It is deeply appreciated.

I am Jenn Dease, a fairly new writer from MLR Press. This is my third ebook and the first one that has a contemporary setting involving only Humans. (I love Dragons)

‘Storming Love; Flood Bridge & Doug’ is my story in this series, second book out of six. It came out April 10^th. Hope everyone who reads it, likes it. Here is a small blurb;

Bridge & Doug are two men who meet when they join forces during a flash flood. The spring run-off, mixed with heavy rains that won’t stop, lead to the worst flood ever remembered in Copper Creek, Texas.

Bridge is a deputy in the Copper Creek Sheriff’s Office. Doug is staying at his grandfather’s place, on his way to a summer job as a lifeguard. Rescuing residents from the rising waters and sharing quarters, these men go from flirting to becoming lovers. But, will they manage to stay together when the flood waters recede?

This story was a bit of a challenge for me because; 1. It had no shape-shifters   2. The circumstances were pre-set (March, flood, Texas) 3. Six authors had to mesh timelines and characters.

It was also a lot of fun. Bouncing ideas around with my partners in ‘Flood’, Cherie Noel, N. J. Nielson, Pelaam, Jambrea Jo Jones and A. C. Katt. Getting to know these authors was a very good experience. Every one of their stories in the series is a pleasure to read.

My first book, ‘Captain’s Mate’ came out this past May. Next up for me is Dragon Marines 2, set a few years after ‘Captain’s Mate’. I’m working on edits right now. After that will be something different, then Dragons 3 (I hope). Then another story. You can read my updates on jenndease.com .

There is a Rafflecopter giveaway at the bottom of this blog from all six authors. Please check it out and enter.

I am also giving away a prize. This prize is a glass pendant necklace on ribbon and duct tape with the Texas Longhorn logo. You need to leave a comment on the blog and if you can tell me where the Texas Longhorn appears in Bridge & Doug, you get a second entry. The winner will be picked one week from today, May 1^st. Good luck!

Thanks to everyone reading this. Have fun when you read the ‘Storming Love;Flood’ series

 About the authors:

NJ Nielsen: NJ needs to write like she needs to breathe. It’s an addiction that she never intends to find a cure for. When you don’t find NJ arguing with Vlad, her muse or writing about the wonderful men in her stories, you’ll find her reading work by other authors she greatly admires. NJ lives in the SE of Qld, Australia with her family who all encourage her writing career even if she does occasionally call them by her character’s names. NJ thinks that anyone taking the time to read her stuff is totally awesome.

Jenn Dease: Jenn Dease is a Chef with a reading and writing addiction. The six bookcases in her bedroom are proof of this.   She was born and raised in Pittsburgh with one of those families that have four generations in a four block radius.   The Redheads, or her sisters, are the best things in her life. When they want to be.

Jambrea Jo Jones: Jambrea wanted to be the youngest romance author published, but life impeded the dreams. She put her writing aside and went to college briefly, then enlisted in the Air Force. After serving in the military, she returned home to Indiana to start her family. A few years later, she discovered yahoo groups and book reviews. There was no turning back. She was bit by the writing bug.

She enjoys spending time with her son when not writing and loves to receive reader feedback. She’s addicted to the internet so feel free to email her anytime.

 

AC Katt: She lives in New Mexico with her husband and new cat who, just as she does loves paper and words. She got a late start to her writing career but is now in a writing frenzy. Go figure!

 

Pelaam: Living in clean, green New Zealand Pelaam is a multi-published author of m/m romance and erotica. She’s loved writing since childhood and to become an author is a cherished dream come true. She grew up reading fairy tales and watching science fiction, horror and fantasy. When not writing she can be found indulging in her other passions of cookery and wine appreciation.

Cherie Noel: Cherie’s been in love with words since before she drew breath, and doesn’t see that ever changing. She write stories, full stop. Sometimes there’s music with them, sometimes they’re poems, and lately, to her great delight, a plethora of M/M fiction and erotic romance. Yum. Smexy man to the second…or third power…now that’s the kinda math Cherie can get behind!!

The hair curls or frizzes as it will, the eyes are green and tend to look in two different directions—no, really—and the rest is subject to change. You know the guy who didn’t know if he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man or a man dreaming he was a butterfly? Yeah, that’s Cherie, but substitute drag queen for butterfly and wacky, wild ex-Army chick for man.
