New Release: Breakdown (and a host of giveaways)

Buy Link

Can't believe it's here already! But today (19th August) Breakdown goes live! It's the third novel in the Don't... series, and it ties very closely to Antidote, bringing in the five very hard months for Jack and Jan away from Gray. I say away from Gray, but he's there. In his very unique way -- he's always there.

Breadown also brings in my start to the Society of Masters, and connections to Lynn Kelling's gorgeous Deliver Us series! After meeting Gray, Jack, and Jan over in America in Forgive Us, Trace makes a cameo appearance in Breakdown, which then sets up the main shared world journey between them all in the last of my Don't series: Gray Matters.

Breakdown has already received some outstanding reviews, and some are offering some cracking giveaways:

Just for a reminder on what's to come: Breakdown

The evidence is there in his hands: the DVD and notepad convincing Jack that Gray is responsible for his kidnapping and torture, tearing Jack and Jan brutally apart. But with Jack trapped in his own mind, lost to blackouts and self-harming, getting away from Gray must take a back seat to getting away from himself.

While locked away in a secret facility run by the Masters' Circle, a new beast is unearthed from the depths of Jack's tormented past. Martin only comes out to play when Jack needs to hide, a psychopath as capable of ruining Jack's life as he is of defending him. Martin is the repository for Jack's most horrifying memories, protecting him from the bloody tasks Jack can't handle. Martin's purpose is to drive everyone Jack fears - or loves - away, before they get the chance to hurt Jack again.

Now Jack hurts more than he ever has before, Martin is back, and Jack has to figure out what Martin knows that Jack forgot, before it's too late. (M/M)

It's avaiable in all formats and at all good distribution sites!

New Release: Forgive Us by Lynn Kelling

And here we have it: Forgive Us. It's the first installment of the Society of Masters, with Lynn Kelling borrowing my boys from Don't and... playing! I've read it; I've loved it; I've got a serious case of needing more Trace, more Micah, more Gabe, more Dare, more Kyle -- so much more of Ben "sexed-up" Knox -- and all the heat that comes with Lynn's boys. Add into the mix my boys: Gray, Jack, and Jan and... aye, aye-aye! I can understand the steam coming off the guy on the cover there.

I'm giving nothing away about how Lynn works my boys in this, but I will say I receive no financial gain from Lynn borrowing my characetrs. Lynn receives no financial gain from how I will use hers in the upcoming Breakdown, then Gray Matters. We do, however, get to cross worlds and have a whole lot of BDSM fun in the process...

Blurb

To everyone else, Trace is an enigmatic and carefully controlled Dominant. He runs Diadem, a private BDSM club, is a Master and mentor to his fellow Doms and their lovers—Gabriel, Darrek, Ben, and Kyle—while trying to be Master and lover for Micah. Trace is the one to step in when anything or anyone threatens his closest friends, yet he realizes he is in over his head when haunting events of the past endanger everyone's lives. Trace is forced to call on old connections for help from the world he tried to leave behind—the Master's Circle in England. Tensions rise to a fever pitch as Trace's hidden truths shake up the lives of everyone in his tangled, tight-knit family.

For over a decade, Trace, the founder of private BDSM club Diadem, has been living under an assumed name with hardly any ties to his past as a prostitute and Master’s Sub with the Master’s Circle. It’s a mix of chemistry, burning passion and decadent distractions which ignite the spark of hope that old wounds can heal, forgiveness might still be had, and that the future is full of tempting possibilities.

Extract:

“Stand up. Relax,” he tells Micah, speaking with authority in order to cut through anything causing Micah to doubt himself.

“Sir.” Micah gets to his feet, standing straight as an arrow, his caramel-brown eyes unfocused, his attention caught on something internal. A frown line creases Micah’s brow and dark circles are visible under his eyes. Trace knows the worry about Kyle, Darrek, and Gabriel has been eating at Micah, but that doesn’t explain the look of him entirely. There has to be something else going on, but Trace can’t handle anything else. There’s already too much wrong.

With a heavy, exhausted sigh, Trace wraps a hand around Micah’s jaw. It’s warm and rough to the touch, covered in dark stubble. The tilt of his head, the downward cast of his gorgeous eyes, ringed with dark, thick eyelashes, the sensual shape of his lips—it’s so intoxicating. There’s something there, Trace knows, in the spark of rightness between them. The balance of give and take, the equality of what each of them brings and gives away freely to the other, makes sense in so many ways everything else does not. It’s more effective shelter from the forces seeking to harm them than any house or physical structure could ever be. Simple, pure, safety and unconditional acceptance is what they each provide.

Together at last, they can each breathe a little easier. The weight of dread lessens, if only for a moment.

“Can I just check something real quick, before we talk? Didn’t think you’d be here, love. It’ll only take a minute.”

“Of course,” Micah murmurs, barely audible, looking like he’s trying not to cry, making Trace want to scream with rage at the unfairness of it all.

This fuckin’ day. This fuckin’ life.

Trace walks into the adjoining room where his computer is plugged in. He boots it up and keeps Micah in view while he waits. Dressed in khaki pants and a pristine, button-down, light blue shirt which suits his olive complexion perfectly, Micah stands there in the middle of the room like someone’s been beating on him. His outward appearance is so refined, but inside he’s in pieces, held together with wisps of hope. It’s a look Trace might not know, but Patrick does. That thousand yard stare, the wear and tear on the soul, it implies bad shit and hard times.

Turning his attention to the task at hand with effort, instinct telling him to go, and love Micah’s pain away, no matter what it takes to make it happen, Trace forces himself to focus on his desk. Booting up his computer and opening his internet browser, Trace checks an email account—the one he shares with Yasha to pass messages back and forth safely.

The account has been deleted.

“Fuck,” he hisses, pounding a fist on the desk, wanting to scream again, but managing not to. It’s expected but shitty nonetheless. If Yasha is really out of the game, the biggest, best way to make a clean break is to delete all of the accounts tying him to people like Patrick.

He checks the next email account that comes to mind, and the next, and the next. He goes through the whole mental list, finishing with the one he shares with Nicholai, the man who had been Patrick’s Master. The accounts are all the same. No change, no new messages. The latest messages are the ones Patrick left for the others. None have been read. No activity. No new information. It’s as quiet as the grave.

It’s not good.

The feeling of being stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere, with no one aware of where he is or how he’s surviving, used to be comforting. It’s not anymore. Now isolation only breeds desperation and dread, and mostly because his island now has multiple inhabitants, all of them counting on him to get them through. Little do they know they’re relying on such a basketcase.

“Okay. It’s okay. Priorities. Protect the family. Keep the kids safe,” he murmurs under his breath, a mantra. There’s a locked file on his desktop. He clicks on it, types in the password. Information spills out, flooding the screen. It’s all there—beautiful, glorious fact. He skims it, just to ground himself, to remember what’s true. The information on that screen narrows the possibilities about what could be happening with Gabriel and Darrek. But he can’t tell them about it. He can’t tell anybody.

At least his focus has been narrowed. The path he must take becomes clearer.

He closes the file. He closes his browser. He shuts down the machine.

At last, he doesn’t have to fight the pull on his heartstrings any longer. He leaves the rest of his worries behind and goes to find out what’s wrong with Micah.

Free Audio Excerpt Available: Antidote

The lovely guys over on Goodreads' BDSM Bedtime Stories have kindly provided an audio excerpt of Antidote, with the lovely Sirly Eric as narrator. It covers some serious play time with Jack, Jan, and Gray, with Gray up for more than a little... remastering of Jack. 

Antidote itself introduces a little of the Society of Masters shared-world project with Lynn Kelling's Deliver Us series. It's good to know because La Crimson Femme has also taken time out to interview Jack (with Gray) and someone Ms. Kelling herself knows quite well from her Deliver Us series. And, well, Gray and him... are playing Jack up a little as La tries to interview Jack. It gets a litlle wild with two top Doms causing some trouble over there, so just... be... warned.

For those interested in the audio & interview, here's the link to  Goodreads and also to La Crimsom Femme's blog.

But of course, the audio is available here too:

Cover Reveal: Antidote. Introduction to The Society of Masters.

 

I'd seen the mock-up to this cover last week, and (grinning ear-to-ear) I'd fallen in love with the tone. So seeing the final version this morning came as such a wicked surprise, especially seeing the symbol at the bottom of the right hand cover there.  

The Society of Masters... whips... it all looks and sounds so, so... secret and sexy. I'll explain in a minute, but first: 

Antidote (blurb):

It should have stayed firmly in the past.

Video footage of Jack Harrison sleeping with Cutter, a man who has mutilated teenagers, should have stayed dead and buried with the man who had filmed it. Yet when footage to Jack’s past starts appearing on Internet porn sites, Jack’s whole world is again turned on its head. At first the porn links are done to unsettle, to disrupt Jack’s fire and ice world: all the sexed-up adrenaline of being caught between the pleasure to Gray Raoul's BDSM kink, and the gentleness of Jan Richards’ vanilla touch. But when the content of the porn sites force even Gray to turn his back on Jack, leaving Jack isolated and away from the full protection of the Master’s Circle, Jack is left at the mercy of a group of men who are out to alter Jack’s whole perception on his BDSM lifestyle.

As brutally as possible, Jack’s sex life is now live webcam feed for a whole new audience.

Antidote's cover is pretty special to me, partly because it's the sequel to Don't..., but also because of that symbol on the cover. If you have a sneak peek at Ms. Kelling's new cover to Forgive Us, just down there to the right hand corner, it carries one too.

The Society of Masters represents everything behind mine and Lynn Kelling's shared-world project (between Don't and Deliver Us). It also means that every project concerning the Society of Masters will come with a variant of this symbol: a whip circling the name of our realm: The Society of Masters (or SM for short).

Antidote will be the introduction to the SoM, briefly setting the scene for Ms. Kelling's Forgive Us (book #3 to Deliver Us). Ms. Kelling's novel will be the main setting for the shared-worlds to begin with, with Jack, Jan, and Gray taking a trip over to America. My Don't #3 novel will then see Trace, Gabe, and Dare come over to English shores. Other tie-in projects are also in the making.

Every time I take a step back and look at all of the possibilities to this Society, it frustrates me that I can't write all of the ideas down quickly enough. I need more hands, and I need more time, because the opportunity and ways to connect the worlds are limitless. And as an author, I love the drive and passion that it is instilling. 

Antidote coming soon:

Chat: with BDSM Consultant/Erotica Author: Dilo Keith

About Best Gay Erotica 2014

I get the typical vanilla reactions whenever I talk to this lady: awe, excitement, possibly followed by feeling more than a little daunted, especially when caught standing in the shadow of this lady and her BDSM boots. Why daunted by Ms. Keith and her BDSM boots? Well, not only is she a talented erotica author, with her latest work “A Port in the Storm” released December 10th in the Best Gay Erotica 2014 anthology, from Cleis Press – but she’s also my BDSM consultant.

Being one hell of a tough lady in general, she’s also a good friend (and one whose cane I try to avoid at all costs, knowing just how hard she can hit when I’m not paying attention! I get the toughest and best in go-to people lately).

Ms. Keith has worked with me on my debut Don’t… She is also my BDSM consultant in Antidote, providing conceptual and technical guidance into Jack and Gray’s world – basically she’s my go-to lady when I need BDSM advice. The whipping scene with Jack on the X bondage post? With Jan using a whip for the first time? By the time we’d finished finalising that scene, I remember feeling like Jack as he'd sat on the hospital bed: bruised, bloodied, and just needing a hug now it was all over! Even down to knowing the length and weight of the flogger, corrections over where to tie Jack’s shirt around his waist, to understanding the damage that might occur to the whip if it hit wood, Ms. Keith was there providing her C&TG (conceptual and technical guidance). And I’m eternally grateful for every input she has had.

So today, I’m really glad that I’ve pinned her down for a chat on where she is in her writing career, and also to possibly try and capture a few of her thoughts on BDSM in fiction.
 
Hi, Dilo, I’m really glad you could make it today.

Dilo: I’m excited to be here, with you pinning me down and taking my interview virginity. Seriously, I appreciate all the lovely things you always say about me and what I share with you. Your friendship means a lot to me and working with you is a great pleasure.

Any wonder I like this lady? Talking about losing virginity, you’re my first stop for BDSM advice when it comes to stepping into the BDSM lifestyle. One point that always comes up for debate is the portrayal of BDSM in fiction. How would you classify your depiction of BDSM?

Definitely on the side of realism, almost obsessively, I think. I like to get into the details of life rather than world-building. I focus on the dominance and submission more than the B&D or S&M, although I do tend to include physical punishment in most stories.

What kind of mistakes do you see new authors making who don’t live the lifestyle?

I’m hesitant to say “mistake” since that implies there is a “correct” way, but I see where you’re going with this, and sometimes it really is a mistake. I should mention that I rarely read BDSM stories that haven’t received excellent reviews, particularly with regard to the author’s understanding of BDSM, so I don’t have examples of “mistakes”. I also want to say actually living the lifestyle isn’t a requirement to good BDSM writing, but it certainly helps. I can think of at least one author *looks at interviewer* with a very creative mind who grasped many of the basic concepts of D/s and needed only some fine-tuning and technical consultation for some scenes.

Anyway, going to the question, there are at least two general aspects that come to mind. One is not appreciating the nuances of the relationship – things like submission and consent, the dynamics underlying the relationship. On the one hand, they’re difficult to research, especially the more subtle aspects, but since they involve emotions and concepts not unique to BDSM, people can write about them competently without actually living the lifestyle. The most disturbing BDSM I’ve read involved emotional abuse, a sub forced to make an unfair choice without the dom being portrayed as doing something very wrong. I won’t trash an author in public, so that’s all you get.

The other is technical – how things are done and how they are experienced, whether it be toys or an activity. It’s often minor, such as pairing impact toys with the sort of marks they leave. A third area that could be unrealistic, although not necessarily mistaken, is relationship structures. Because of the varied structures of BDSM relationships and the extent to which BDSM can be integrated into a relationship, I’m not especially concerned about those. Some arrangements might be awkward or improbable, but there’s a rather wide range of structures, from couples experimenting with occasional kinky sex to full-time polyamorous leather households, so almost anything is fair game in fiction. I’m more concerned about physical and emotional safety. I’ve posted links to several relevant posts by other authors: Dilo Keith Website

This leads on to my next question. How do you research BDSM?

So far, I’ve been writing what I know -- I’ve been in the lifestyle since 1986 -- but I’ve looked up technical details on occasion. At parties, I’ve been known to check the feasibility of positions or movements on certain equipment. Once, I had a question I couldn’t easily answer with my regular resources, so I tried asking questions on a kinky forum (not FetLife) and I received more than one “do your own darned research” sort of answer. I thought I was. There’s an understandable reluctance among those in the lifestyle to be viewed as creatures to be studied, especially now that so many inexperienced – with BDSM – authors are writing about BDSM.

What’s the most annoying thing people say when you tell them you’re a BDSM writer?

I can’t think of anything annoying. Sadly, there’s no one to tell other than a few kinky friends, who are of course positive. I’ll answer a different question – my favorite response about my writing. I told a relative I wrote erotica about gay men – I’m don’t know if I mentioned the kinky part -- and he said something along the lines of “the research must have been very interesting”. That was very cool, especially considering he probably thinks I’m straight.

Which authors have influenced your writing the most?

For writing erotica overall, the Best Gay Erotica series has been a major influence. No specific authors come to mind.

Who are your favourite authors?

That’s difficult. I know I’ve left out some, but as a start for fiction authors, in no particular order: Gillibran Brown, Simon Sheppard, Carol Queen, Claire Thompson, Greg Herren, Lois McMaster Bujold, Laura Antoniou, James Lear, P.A. Brown, Laurie R. King, Michael Thomas Ford, William J. Mann, John Preston, Lawrence Schimel. If I haven’t read more than two of their books, I didn’t list an author here.

What are you reading now?

I recently finished all of Larry Duplechan’s books, at first because he’s an editor I’m working with (Best Gay Erotica 2014), but mainly because I enjoy his writing and his books form a series. I’ve also gone on a mystery binge. Among others, I’m working my way through books by Greg Herren, R. D. Zimmerman, and Richard Stevenson. The last BDSM I read was Jane Davitt’s Room at the Top series, the first two of Lynn Kelling’s Deliver Us series, and Alison Tyler’s Dark Secret Love. On October 25, my blog will be part of Tyler’s promotional blog tour for the book. I know you’re working with Lynn Kelling and I’m looking forward to reading those stories.

Thank you! It’s a fun time for Lynn and me. And I’m looking forward to your blog hop on the 25th. Now, I know you’re a BDSM author and consultant, but which do you prefer to write: erotica or erotic romance?

At the risk of us not sharing a definition of “erotica”, that’s what I like to write. I think my writing falls between the two. I explore the dynamics of BDSM relationships from a more intellectual perspective, not as emotionally as you might expect in erotic romance -- things like how the characters work out matters of monogamy, role choices, discrepancies in definitions, and so on. The plots tend to be about those aspects. I’m fascinated by sexuality and how it’s worked into our lives. Because I explore relationships rather than focusing on the sex – although there’s no shortage of that – my work still appeals to readers of erotic romance. Most of my early writing influences involved romance of some sort, so my work reflects those connections.

May I ask, how flexible are you as an author? Do you write purely for readers who prefer m/m, or can you switch pairings?

Flexible, but with preferences. I prefer to write M/M and so far, all of my writing has LGBT characters. I don’t especially like writing or reading about women having sex. I enjoy having sex with women and generally like stories with lesbian main characters, but I don’t like reading and writing about the sex itself. In one case, I changed the sex of two characters in order to submit a story to a lesbian collection. That was an interesting and fun challenge. Because it doesn’t have to involve gender-specific activities, it’s much easier to do that sort of thing with BDSM. I didn’t have to write much about the workings of the lady bits in that story. The real-life event that inspired the story involved three women (including me), but I had originally written it as M/m/f. I saved all the pieces that I had to, um, cut out and might work them into another short.

You handle quite a lot of gay ménage. What is the draw to this over m/m? 

It’s a reflection of my real life and the appeal of complexity. Most of my own relationships have involved a third person, as both three women or two women with a man.

And out of everything that you have written, which is your favourite?

Because of the story behind the story, I’d say “Coming of Age,” the third part of a trilogy I wrote for a friend, inspired by a real event. That’s in Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica, from Cleis Press. The story combines her life and mine, and has representations of me, her, my first dom, and my first dom’s slave. The first story forms part of “Consequences,” another favorite, one I like more for the story, but less for the origin. The second story wasn’t much more than PWP fanfiction, so I’m unlikely to revise that one for publication.

Do you tend to base your characters on real people or are they from your imagination?

Real people, as a package or selected traits. I think my talents lie in areas other than my imagination.

What is the sexiest scene you’ve ever written?

Can’t pick one. What I like best is punishment scenarios, so to me, that’s the sexiest sort of scene. While the complexities of threesomes and switching excite me between the ears, punishment is more between my legs. My first M/M publication had a spanking scene with some Daddy/boy role play elements. It’s no longer available, but I’m in the process of submitting it elsewhere because it’s one of my favorites. There are a few other hot punishment scenes in my novel-length manuscript.

We know you’re an author; what’s your day job?

Let’s just say research, science stuff.

Lol, research it is. What is your latest release? And where can we find it?

My only stand-alone release is “Make Mine to Go”, which came out about a year ago. Since then, I’ve submitted a few short stories to anthologies that aren’t out yet.

It’s also on Amazon and other re-sellers, but it’s cheaper from the publisher and there are sometimes sale prices. I don’t write to earn a living, but some authors do, so I want to mention that with most of the e-publishers, authors get paid much more from direct sales.

Anyway, public service announcement aside, my newest release will appear in an anthology due out December 10th from Cleis Press, Best Gay Erotica 2014. My story is “A Port in the Storm.” It involves the male threesome I usually write about, punishment, and role switching. The book is available for pre-order from Amazon and probably others, although not from the publisher. 

I expect my story “Consequences” to appear in Alison Tyler’s collection called Blush, but it’s not yet definite. I’ll have release info on my web site. That one will have a mixture of erotica themes and orientation. I submitted two short stories for another collection, but I haven’t heard from the editor. They’re all with Cleis Press, and as far as I know, they will all be in print as well as digital format.

And what are you working on now?

After I put the finishing touches on the M/M/M story with the Daddy scene, I’ll probably go back to working on my novel-length collection of stories about the same threesome. They loosely fit together to form a single story, but I’ve been creating stand-alone shorts instead, at least lately. If an appealing anthology call comes up, I might try another short story.

Where can readers find you?

They can reach me directly by email or through sites with PMs. I haven’t been especially active online lately, so here’s a guide to where I might be lurking:

My website is more of a resource collection now, but I make an appearance occasionally and the Contact Me page works.

BDSM group at Goodreads (Dilo Keith) and also Absolute Write Water Cooler (DiloKeith) – I’ll make a post when there’s a topic of interest. PM works.

Facebook and Twitter @dilokeith – I don’t post much, but I’ll get messages.

FetLife (Dilo_Keith) – I’m even less active there unless I get in the mood, but that could change. It’s easy to get lost on that site, so I rarely tempt myself.

Direct contact: email dilokeith at gmail.

And finally, what are your daily must-stop blogs and websites?

Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for all the outstanding blogs I’ve found, so I usually limit myself to sites where I’ve made friends. I prefer to interact on a forum rather than commenting on blogs or social networks. The few I check every day are Absolute Write, particularly the erotica sub-forum, the forum portion of JustUsBoys, a gay porn site that has a wide variety of non-porn discussions, Empty Closets, a site created for LGBT youth, primarily for support, and the BDSM group on Goodreads (there are some other GR groups I don’t visit as often). Others I check regularly are Erotica Readers and Writers Association, and Gillibran Brown’s diary. I get email notices for about 20 blogs, some of which I’ve listed on my web site.

Dilo, as ever, it’s really good to have this time out to catch up and hear about what’s going on with you and your writing. I’m going to take this opportunity to say a huge, huge, thanks for working with me on my projects. You’ve helped me in huge – huge – ways, and I’ll always be grateful for the time you always seem to have for me, no matter how green and new my questions must sometimes seem. Thank you.

Dilo: You’re very welcome, and thank you for taking such an interest in me, having me here, and asking terrific questions both in and out of this chat. I love your creativity and the way you stimulate my thinking.

If you are an author wishing to look at researching the BDSM lifestyle, I would highly recommend Ms. Keith. Her knowledge and patience is a credit to her and all that she does. For further information, please contact her via her web site.

Author Bio

Other than what I did for work (science and academic articles) I didn’t think much about writing most of my adult life. I came out as gay in 1978 and acknowledged my semi-suppressed interest in BDSM in 1985. As part of discovering BDSM, I started dating men and discovered that gender wasn’t especially relevant. My contacts with the gay and kink communities are largely online these days, especially since I moved to a relatively rural area outside of a major US East coast city. I live a low-key D/s lifestyle punctuated by attending an occasional party and teaching caning. I started writing fiction in 2009. A relatively recent addition to my kinky life is an online submissive. When he’s not performing as the willing victim of my sadism, he serves me as an excellent editor. “Dilo” is an acronym of Different Loving, the title of a nonfiction book about BDSM.

Coming Free on Audio: Antidote & Forgive Us Our Sins (Excerpts)

It's great to finally share this. Two FREE audio excerpts from the yet-to-be-released Don't 2 and Deliver Us 3 shared-world projects are scheduled for seperate release in December. They come from the lovely people in the Goodreads' BDSM Group and their BDSM Bedtime Story excerpts.

One audio excerpt will be taken from the gorgeously talented Ms. Kelling and her Forgive Us Our Sins novel (from her Deliver Us series). And the second will be taken from my sequel to Don't... Antidote.  

To coincide with each of these audio releases, on the day of the Forgive Us Our Sins' excerpt, Ms. Kelling will be interviewed by the lovely La Crimson Femme from the BDSM Group, where Ms. Kelling will hopefully be divulging a few secrets on the shared-world projects. On the release of my Antidote excerpt, La Crimson Femme will be interviewing Gray Raoul, where hopefully she'll gain an insight into just why Gray would be allowing anyone to share his world outside of Jack and Jan. No guarantees, no promises he'll answer, though.

Now, I've heard Sirly Eric, the lovely gent who's going to do the audio for both excerpts, and as biased as I'm going to be here, he's got one hell of a seductive purr to his voice *Shivers*. I'm looking forward to hearing how he's going to handle Gray, Jack, and Jan in a scene together. And having read Ms. Kelling's extract *whistles happily, 'cause Kelling is letting loose two of my favourite guys out of the Deliver Us series for this: Ben and Kyle (so tries to stop fangirling too)*, I'm really looking forward to hearing Forgive Us Our Sins on audio.

Once the audio has been released to the members of the BDSM Group, a link will then be made availble on both here and Ms. Kelling's blog.

Hopefully (and I'm crossing fingers, toes, and noses here), the audio and interviews will tie-in with the release of both Antidote and Forgive Us Our Sins this winter. Hopefully (I said hopefully a few times, right?).

Be great to have you along with us for eveything that's coming this December.

  

Don't... Deliver Us: Shared World Update (Timelines)

Gray, Jan, and Jack are off on a trip over to America in Ms. Kelling's next novel in her Deliver Us series (titled Forgive Us Our Sins). Just to offer a little insight into how our novels are going to share worlds, as I'll then be borrowing Gabe, Trace, and Dare from Ms. Kelling's work, we've compiled a timeine to show which book comes where (only the issues surrounding why still remains... hush-hush).

It's just a general update similar to Ms. Kelling's, only it differs slightly as it also incorporates a novella of mine that will fall under the shared-worlds project too. it also titles the third Don't novel in my series (albeit somewhat tentatively, and open to change).

First off, edits are well under way with Antidote, and hopefully it's on schedule for a winter release. Which will tie in beautifully with some of themes going on in Antidote.
