THE ISLE OF... WHERE? - SUE BROWN

When Liam Marshall’s best friend, Alex, loses his fight with colon cancer, he leaves Liam one final request: buy a ticket to Ryde, on the Isle of Wight, and scatter Alex’s ashes off the pier. Liam is tired, worn out, and in desperate need of a vacation, but instead of sun, sea, sand, and hot cabana boys, he gets a rickety old train, revolting kids, and no Ewan MacGregor.

Liam would have done anything for his friend, but fulfilling Alex’s final wish means letting go of the only family Liam had left. Lost, he freezes on the pier… until Sam Owens comes to his rescue.

Sam’s family has vacationed on the Isle of Wight every year for as long as he can remember, but he’s never met anyone like Liam. Determined to make Liam’s vacation one to remember, Sam looks after him—in and out of the bedroom. He even introduces Liam to his entire family. But as Sam helps Liam let go, he’s forced to admit that he wants Liam to hang on—not to his old life, but to Sam and what they have together.

Mac and Chase make it clear it's his decision, but Tony is torn between his desires and his responsibilities. On a sudden whim he decides to let the raindrops sheeting down the window make the decision. If they go right he'll say yes to a night of sex that might blow his world apart, if the rain goes left he'll leave and never look back.

ARE YOUR M/M STORIES SET IN THE UK?

Stories set in the UK?

Want to talk about all things British... Yorkshire Tea, queueing behind 87 pensioners in the post office on a Thursday morning, full English's and Wimbledon?

Head on over to UK M/M ROMANCE and set up your interview with the lovely Sue Brown

HELP! I NEED A TITLE...

This is Micah. He's a midwife in a little hospital in the depths of the English countryside.  You may find his name a little unusual for an English country gent, but there is a story behind that... his father may have been celebrating a little hard before he attended the Register Office. Let's just say it took many a bunch of flowers and box of chocolates for Michael's mother to get over that little mishap.

Life for Micah is good. He loves his job, loves his family - although having them live a four minute walk from his house can sometimes be trying. Ever woken up to find your mother and last night's hottie swapping breakfast ideas in the kitchen? You get the idea. But he's happy with his lot.

Happy that is until the one that got away moves into the village with his very pregnant girlfriend.

This is Josh. Well, Joshua Boyd IV to be precise.

He's not entirely sure how he ended up here, in the ass end of nowhere. He thought they further he ran, the harder it would be for anyone to find them. That they could make a life together without--

He certainly didn't expect to walk into the ante-natal clinic in the smallest hospital in the world and find the one man he'd been running from... even if only in his own mind.

Micah Williams... so full of the way he was going to change the world... God, how he'd wanted to change it with him, but he couldn't and now... How could there be a future for them now? And would Micah even want one when he found out the real reason Josh had to walk away all those years ago?

Throw your title ideas at me and the winner will receive their ebook choice of my back catalogue, together with a copy of Micah and Josh's story on it's release, along with their own dedication.

Don't forget to leave your email so we can get this show on the road!

KATIE HARPER

TODAY I AM CUDDLED UP ON THE SOFA WITH THE GLAMOROUS KATIE HARPER, WHO IS SCOFFING ALL THE GOOD BISCUITS - APPARENTLY THE NEW ADDITION TO THE HARPER CLAN SHE'S BUSY COOKING, HAS EXPENSIVE TASTES... PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR BISCUIT THIEVERY.

ANYHOO... SHE IS HERE TO DISCUSS TWO THINGS CLOSE TO MY HEART... KATIE HERSELF AND HER NEW RELEASE, NEVER SAY JUST, AND THE WINCHESTERS - TAKE IT AWAY HARPER!

Why Supernatural is the Best Thing on TV

Lisa and I have a few things in common. We have kids, we enjoy a laugh, and we’d do pretty much anything for the Winchesters. Supernatural is the best show on TV because of Sam and Dean Winchester. Who wouldn’t want a funny, strong, sexy man who can kill demons and werewolves. And there are two of them!! I have compiled a list of their most desirable traits, but do you really need a list? Just look at them!

1.      They are funny as hell! Dean’s one liners could fuel a Vegas comedy act for years.  In season two episode 13, Houses of the Holy (props on the bitchin rock reference), Sam and Dean are discussing angels.

Sam: Dean, there's ten times as much lore about angels as there is about anything else we've ever hunted.

Dean: You know what, there's a ton of lore on unicorns too. In fact, I hear that they ride on silver moonbeams, and that they shoot rainbows out of their ass!

Season one episode 16, Shadow, referring to Meg, a demon Sam hooked up with.

Dean to Sam:"Next time you wanna get laid, find a girl that’s not so buckets-of-crazy, huh?"

Season two episode one, a reaper is trying to claim Dean’s soul. He’s not down with that.

Dean: I think I'll pass on the seventy two virgins, thanks. I'm not that into prude chicks anyway.

And here are a few completely out of context. Enjoy!

Dean:"I think I learned a valuable lesson: Always take down your Christmas decorations after New Year's, or you might get filleted by a hooker from God". 

Dean: “Save room for dessert, Tiny. Hey, I wanted to ask you, because I couldn't help but notice you are two tons of fun. Just curious, is it like a thyroid problem? Or is that just some deep-seated self-esteem issue? Because you know, they're just doughnuts. They're not love." 

Dean:“Brother, I have been re-hymenated and the dude will not abide.” 

2.      They can kill anything. I come from a family who likes to kill stuff. Deer, elk, pheasant, grouse, annoying children, if it has a pulse, we like making it stop. Now, before you start yelling at me for killing Bambi think for just a minute. That compressed chicken product you’re using to shovel buckets of delicious sweet n’ sour sauce down your gullet used to be a live chicken. You know, before the machine separation started.

Sam and Dean can exterminate the monsters under your bed and the ghosts in your closet. And look sexy doing it. I’d like to see a little more sweat and a lot more skin during the next slaying next time. It could go like this. Sam and Dean have tracked the demon to an abandoned warehouse (abandoned warehouses are to demons what the Bunny Ranch is to Dean). The middle of the summer in Las Vegas (because that’s where I live and I’d really, really love to be saved from a demon bent on eating my heart from my chest by these two before I die) is sweltering so it seems natural that Sam and Dean would ditch the shirts….and pants. Naturally (because I don’t think they’re capable of operating a washing machine) they run commando.  They find the demon in the basement where I am terrified and tied to an altar surrounded by candles (next time you write the blog post you can cast yourself as the damsel or dude in distress) Dean produces a knife and lodges the dagger in the demon’s chest sending him back to hell where he belongs. He picks me up and carries me out of the warehouse where the three of us have wild monkey sex on the hood of the Impala. What?!? It could totally happen.

3.      They look like this.

To be honest I had no idea what this show was about. I started watching because I needed something to drool over. It took a few episodes for me to realize that they were hunting monsters. With faces like this, do you really blame me?

And bodies like this?

 

You’re welcome.  Even their “I’m too serious for you” face is sexy!!

Seriously, you’re lucky I even had the sound on.

UK M/M ROMANCE JUBILEE COMPETITION

In celebration of the Jubilee, a few Brits have got together to create a fabulous giveaway for our readers. So listen up to what you have to do to get your hands on ebooks from each of us and a $30 voucher for Silver Publishing.

Each of us has provided two questions which you will find HERE on our form created by the lovely RJ Scott. Don't forget, the clues will be in the corresponding blogs. If you think you have the answers, type away and submit :)  It's that easy...

My contribution is Behind the Mask, book 3 of the Masquerade Trilogy (although you can take your ebook pick of my back catalogue)

The Downe's Valentine's Day Masquerade Ball has been an annual event for over a hundred years and where, four years ago, Gabe met Mike. 

It's been over six months since Mike's death and Mike thinks that Gabe is ready to move on. How does Gabe know this? He receives a letter and a ticket to the ball, from Mike. Gabe isn't sure he'll ever be ready to move on, but in deference to Mike's memory, he attends the ball.

What Gabe doesn't know, is that his best friend, Tom, the one constant in his life since college, has also received a letter from Mike. Will Gabe be able to move forward and remember a long forgotten love, or will his world come crumbling down around his ears, again?

And my questions are...

Q1.   Where did Gabe and Tom meet?

Q2.   What is Queen Elizabeth II's OFFICIAL title - thank God for Google!

So take your chance, you have nothing to lose and five fantastic reads to gain!  Good luck!

FLASH FICTION FRIDAY

You know the routine, one picture, one hundred words and a gang of talented cohorts. Don't forget to click on the link at the end and within the one hundred itself to see what my partners in crime have in store for you,

“I cannot believe this is happening.” Marcus growled against his chest and Cory sighed. This was not how their early morning skinny-dip was supposed to end.

Glancing around for idiotic dog-walkers up at the ass-crack of dawn, Cory slapped a hand to his forehead and winced.  Marcus’ teeth bit gently into his flesh and Cory gasped when Marcus sucked. The position was one Cory had planned, but in his imagination he was writhing beneath Marcus’ lips in ecstasy. The lone bee who had been accidentally crushed between their naked chests hadn’t figured at all. Pity no one filled in the bee.
