HUGE Congratulations to Alex!/Competition Winners

[erastes]

She got an A GRADE review on Dear Author for False Colors. Regular readers of that blog will know how rare that grade is, so it’s a standing ovation from me!  Well done babe!  I can’t hope to emulate that if they review Transgressions because I know that it’s not as good a book (and no, this is not false modesty) but if I got a B- or a C+ I’d be bloody happy!!!!

It’s really scary, this stuff. You know? Astounding review, Alex, I can’t tell you how pleased I am for you.

OK  - now here’s a couple of competition winners:

From History Hoydens: NIXY wins a copy of Transgressions

From Desert Island Keepers: JAMBREA wins a copy of Transgressions

From Jessewave’s Birthday Bash SUBARU53 won Transgressions and BARBARA SHERIDAN wins a copy of Standish

I have to tell you something cool -- last night at Borders, my friend Linda was looking through Romantic Times and saw a full-page ad that she had to show me, because she knows I like m/m. It was for Transgressions and False Colors! I laughed and said "That's my friend!" It was so cool to actually see a book of yours in an ad that people I know see! In the "real world". Way to go!

Someone scanned me the advert, it's such a great ad - I think that the romance world can't ignore us much longer! And just fink - you knew me when i was YOUR FATHER!!!! that's creepy.

Hee. But true.

Now I really wish we'd written out the whole Draco/Lucius scene we skirted about.

Oh, saw the review on Dear Author. Go, go! Excellent review, and of course, I was buying the book anyhow.

Guess what was at the bookstore waiting for me in the romance section?

Yes. TRANSGRESSIONS!!!!

I bought it. I also bought Alex's book, but I am geeked about a new one by you that was in the Romance Section!

(Though, since I read the end first, as always, I hope that some romance readers won't get cranky on your butt about a non-HEA. I will probably have questions once I am finished about WHAT THE F--- HAPPENS NEXT? Since, given what I saw, it looks like the story is not OVER! O-o)

Oh you are great - thank you for getting it, it's very bizarre that my friends can simply walk into a store and find the books. I think if/when (not yet in concrete) the books are available in stores here I shall probably faint to see them on the shelves.

No no no - you cannot accuse me of having a non-HEA just because you read the ending first, doing that is out of context because you haven't seen what they've been through to get there - that's very much a HEA!

Yes, there's the question of "what happens next" but doesn't that always happen in books we enjoy?
