Muffled Drum out Today!

Hurrah hurrah hurrah! If you'd have told me when I started out that I'd be writing for a Harlequin Imprint, I'd not have believed you.

AND!  It's already had a review!  Five Stars from CSI Librarian.

Muffled Drum by Erastes – 5 Stars. An engaging, fast-paced historical gay romance that isn’t bogged down by issues of sexual orientation but focuses instead on two lovers dealing with amnesia and finding a way back to each other. I loved the setting, the details, and how the conflicts were resolved. Both main characters were lovely too. This title comes out on July 4th, 2011 from Carina Press and it is one that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, short M/M romance to read.

Happy face from Erastes today.

Gratuitous blurb and cover post.

Bohemia, 1866

They met in a port-side tavern, their lust-filled moments stolen from days of marching and madness. After eighteen months, Captain Rudolph von Ratzlaff and First Lieutenant Mathias Hofmann have decided to run away from everything they hold dear. Resigning their commissions is social suicide, but there's no other choice. Someone will eventually see Rudolph's partiality toward Mathias.

Now their plans have gone horribly awry... When Mathias goes to Rudolph's tent after their last battle, his lover looks at him without a hint of recognition. Mathias can hardly believe the man he knew is gone. He wants to fill in so many of Rudolph's missing memories, but the doctor says a shock could result in permanent damage. The pain of seeing Rudolph on a daily basis, when Rudolph doesn't remember their love, is excruciating. Now Mathias must decide whether he wants to fight for the man he loves or forget him completely...

oh good for you! I hope you enjoy it - I can't beleive how cheap it is, so it's a barg, imho! :D

Yes, yes! I went over to Carina's a couple of days ago and pre-ordered it. And now it sits and waits it's turn on my e-reader. I think it might try to sneak past some of the other books I have lined up though. Naughty.

I know I will! And I have no willpower whatsoever; I've already started reading :)

You've sold out to the man! ;-) Or should that be to the woman?

I'll get this soon. Happy release day!

Thank you, dear!

I think that "selling out" was always part of the plan. But I plan to write (although they may not take it!!!) one book for Carina, and one book for "me"

[beckyblack]

Sounds like a good plan.
