I'm so pleased to see that the Panamour m/m novels here make up most of the spots on the Top 10 sellers list on the home page, though they represent only about ten percent of the titles available. It leads me wonder a few things. How many readers out there are already fans of m/m erotic romance, and how many of you have just decided to see what you've been missing as a result of the Top Sellers list? And if you haven't ever read one before, now is the time to check out what all the fuss is about by reading some of the steamy excerpts from the Panamour books. Come back and let me know if you decided to buy one after you cooled off a bit. --Em

I know I'm supposed to be promoting my own books. But this one looked too good to pass. I've already bought one myself, and I'm looking forward to reading it over the weekend. Welcome to Wonderland, a quiet, picturesque village located on the Pacific Coast, just south of San Francisco. Prodigal son Rich North and his partner, Marc Anderson, have just relocated to Wonderland after leaving behind their lives-and a secret scandal-back in New York City. They buy a house on exclusive Eldon Court, where five Victorian homes stand. Three other gay couples lives in the other houses, while Number Two Eldon Court remains mysteriously empty. There they meet Edgar and Jack, the longest-tenured residents of Eldon Court; Aaron and Juan, a couple with their own relationship issues; and Sawyer and Dane, a young, gorgeous couple with too much money and time of their hands. Something is afoot on Eldon Court. A peeping Tom, a possible murder attempt, a case of arson. The clues lead back to Bayside Hotel and the mysterious new owner, Danvers Converse. He is a man with perverse appetites and unstoppable ambition. He will resort to blackmail-or worse-to gain possession of Eldon Court. But why, and at what cost? The only thing the neighbors have is their solidarity. But with a spy in their midst, Eldon Court is being threatened from all sides, and Rich and Marc realize that, as they newcomers to the block, they must stop what's happening. Until newer neighbors move into Number Two-and all hell breaks loose on Eldon Court. Passionate, sexy, steamy, Adam's Carpenter's Wonderland delves into the lives of men and the men they love, into a community put at risk by progress, and of the true meaning of friendship, loyalty, and love. A modern day drama, complete with victims, enemies, conspiracies, and loads of sex, Wonderland is a rare piece-conceived by one writer, written by three different authors-it is fiction at its most compelling.

| Pretty Man Cover... |

When you write a book, sometimes it's simple to envision the cover and sometimes it's hard. With PRETTY MAN, it wasn't that easy...for me. I had images of the main characters; images that would have worked with the plot; images that involved the setting. But when I clicked onto ravenous a few minutes ago to see the cover for the first time, my initial reaction was complete satisfaction. It's simple, erotic and the model looks exactly as I'd envisioned one of the main characters. Even the window he's standing near looks like it popped to life from the book. I've been in many books over the years where I've been slightly disappointed by book covers (never really completely disappointed; just slightly), and had to wonder what the publisher was thinking when they chose these covers. But with PRETTY MAN, I was blown away instantly. And that doesn't happen often. It's perfect. It captures the erotic elements, and the expression the model's face portrays the romantic elements I worked hard to incorporate. I'll be posting more about PRETTY MAN, and more about AN OFFICER AND HIS GENTLEMAN in the future, because there are a few interesting stories about setting and plot and character development I think readers might enjoy. But I wanted to get a post up about the cover tonight to thank the people who were involved in creating it. They did a great job!!

| PRETTY MAN is being released... |

Yesterday afternoon, while I was working on the "American Star" series that's loosely based on the reality TV show "American Idol", I received an e-mail letting me know that PRETTY MAN is being released on ravenous. I'm told we're shooting for the 17th, and I'm thinking all this bitter cold weather in the east is perfect timing for this book. One of my goals with PRETTY MAN was to incorporate a good old fashioned romance with some steamy, passionate scenes. I'll write more about PRETTY MAN next week. But I thought it would be interesting to mention that if the title hadn't been PRETTY MAN, it would have been "You have Chocolate on your Tooth." And that's because part of the novel is set on wonderful, old Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, where there's a fictional book shop that sells fine French chocolates. It's not far from the real-life bakery, Magnolia, where I've personally waited in line many times for their out-of-this- world cupcakes. On a warm summer night, it's hard to find another place where there's a street as romantic and endearing as Bleecker Street in New York. People can smell the aroma of rich, creamy chocolates all the way up to the avenue, and this little book shop is where the main characters meet and fall in love. An antique sign hanging above the chocolate counter reads, in French, "“Vous avez de la chocolat sur votre dent.” I haven't seen the cover for PRETTY MAN yet, but from what I've been told I'm going to like it a lot.
