Of guest-blogging, reviews, and pants

Taylor Brooks has very kindly hosted me as part of her new feature, Tuesday 20, in which she showcases the first twenty lines of a new or current release. Red Moon Rising is the featured book this week.

Today is a busy day for more than just the Norwegian Curling Team’s pants* (though they too have been busy out on the ice in Sochi), because A Liar’s Moon has received a lovely review from Robyn Elliot at The Romance Reviews. Thanks for the review, Robyn, and I’m delighted you enjoyed the book!

“I would definitely recommend this book for readers who like their M/M characters with flesh on the bones, so to speak, and who enjoy shifter stories involving themes of passion, betrayal and the courage to love. A book to curl up with, with a glass of red wine and a crackling fire. Just don’t open the curtains if the moon is waxing high.”

*Just in case anyone has missed the joy of the Norwegian Curling Team’s pants:

They even have their own facebook page, which I may or may not be following.

A Liar’s Moon review, Karl, and competence porn

A Liar’s Moon has just received a lovely 4.5 Sweet Pea review from Lucky over on Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books. Thank you, Lucky, and I’m so glad it lived up to expectations!

“Favorite character: Karl – I’m dying to know his story. Even though he’s a secondary character in this one, he’s definitely someone you do not want to mess with.”

I’m seeing something of a pattern – Karl appears to be a favourite character with quite a few people. We get some competence porn from him in Red Moon Rising, but I’m afraid his full story will have to wait for the last book. He’s just not as pushy as some of the others. He could kill them where they sleep, but he’s not pushy.

A wonderful review for An Impossible Mate

I’m really chuffed – Manic Readers has given An Impossible Mate a lovely 4.5 star review.

“….makes this a real standout in the saturated world of paranormal MM Romance….. the life the men lived just burst forth off the pages. I’m very happy to see it’s the start of a series because there are many more tales to tell about Matt’s pack!”

I should be mowing the lawn but…

Instead I am enjoying the dual excitement of release day for An Impossible Mate and the fact that A Gilded Cage has just received a wonderful 5 Sweet Pea review from Becky Condit at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books. Simply log in below the review to be eligible to win a copy of the book.

“When things suddenly turn dangerous and even deadly I not only couldn’t put the book down, I couldn’t read fast enough! What a thriller. Besides the exhilaration of the chase, the sex is unrestrained and the use of toys is quite inventive for the period.”
Jack and his toys…  He has a fertile mind!

How to upset your dog in one easy lesson

Listen to different types of wolf howls, again and again, all in the name of research, and only notice after about half an hour that the faithful old Lab is no longer curled up safely snoozing in his basket but is instead stalking around, eyes practically popping out of his head. Oops. Lots of cuddles and a venison ear later, he seems to have forgiven me. I never had these problems when researching the best types of Regency furniture for Our Heroes to have sex on.

Speaking of whom, Carnevalehas received another lovely review, this time from Becky Condit at Mrs Condit and Friends Read Books, who has awarded it 5 Sweet Peas. I’m truly delighted that people are enjoying Perry and Jack’s adventures.

A 5 star review for ‘Carnevale’

~ Joy Lynn Fielding ~ Leave a comment

Some days are better than others, as a minor character in one of my favourite Blake’s 7 episodes was fond of saying. Today I woke up to a lovely surprise – a really wonderful review of Carnevale from Susan MacNicol on The Romance Reviews website.

“Beautifully written in the period, this is an ornate tapestry weaving story of men falling in love, of realizing their humanity and their frailties and their strengths. This is a definite recommended read and I can’t wait to read the next in Jack and Perry’s story.”

Luckily, the next part of their story, A Gilded Cage, is already available! There is one more book to come in this series, to give Perry and Jack their ultimate happy ever after, but I’m taking a little break from the formalities of eighteenth century Venice to explore a somewhat dysfunctional shifter pack in modern day Colorado.

Carnevale is available from Siren-BookStrand here. A Gilded Cage is available here.
