The Sweetest Downfall

The Eight Ball will help celebrate our eighth anniversary here at Torquere Press! Join us for the celebration!

We're having a reader scavenger hunt with weekly gift basket prizes and a grand prize (this year, a brand-new 3G Kindle along with a CD of stories from each participating author), plus daily prizes of gift certificates to show our appreciation to you -- our readers! Check our blog, http://glbtromance.blogspot.com/ where we'll have a number of our authors visiting the whole month. We'll post excerpts, hang out to chat, and talk about our stories.

In addition to the grand prize of the Kindle, we're giving away gift baskets every week! Some are silly, some are smutty, and all are fun. The themed ones are: m/m, ménage, BDSM, and lesbian plus our authors have chipped in with extra goodies.

Here's how to play. Visit our contest page, http://www.torquerebooks.com/contest/contactmain.html, and start scavenging for the Eight Ball answers. Visit the author pages and find the graphic somewhere on their site. An online form is set up, and we'll randomly choose a winner for the Kindle from all of the correct entries. Plus, every day, readers will have the chance to win a Torquere gift certificate and a gift basket.

Help us celebrate our eighth anniversary and ask the Eight Ball your question… Like, will I win a prize from Torquere Press?

Thanks, and have fun playing.

To sarshi_k , who nabbed the 7777th hit on Draco's Den of Debauchery, my personal archive of all my original fiction. She's challenged me with quite the interesting fic idea that's already got my muses stirring, so I should have a new short story for your perusal within a couple months. It's guaranteed to make ya shiver! 

That means that the 8000th hit is right around the corner. Keep your eyes peeled and try to be the lucky visitor to nab 8000 on the hit counter. The winner has a choice between a copy of one of my novels or an original fic of your choosing (your own plot or an addendum to one of my series, take your pick).

Congratulations, Sarshi!

For today, we have an easy question: boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, commando, or, dare I say it, a thong? Which do you like to see your men wear, whether in real life, fanfiction, or original fiction.

For me, I'm all about the boxer-briefs. Boxers are too lose, briefs make me think of children, so boxer briefs are juuuuuust right. Love the way they hug the package and a nice pair of toned thighs. Love the way they reveal that dip of the hipbone. *whistles* 

So what about you? 

... and prompt fics!

Yep. Today I'm announcing the winner of yesteday's free copy of whichever novel they prefer, and I'm going to go ahead and post the prompt fics I wrote for my hosting of the TQ social yesterday. These prompts were given to me by the visitors to the TQ social and feature my original works prominently.

First, though, I'd like to say congratulations to gypsygrrl420 whose name I drew out of the hat to make her the winner of yesterday's random drawing. Send me a PM and let me know which novel you'd like.

For sydmcginley 
Prompt: laundry day gone wrong, your choice of pairing

( Joshua just wasn't cut out to be Suzy homemaker.  )

For sydmcginley
Prompt "rice pudding accident"

( "That was not an accident."  )

For stevie_carroll 
Prompt "hair-related story" 

( He wanted to distract Janus from whatever dry historical tome he was reading... )

For ali_wilde
Prompt: Leonard and Willoughby, "Wow, would you look at that penguin?" 

( "Hey, it's snowing."  )

Phew. Those were all pretty challenging, but I had a great time writing them.

I hope you all enjoyed those little snippets. Thanks for reading!

I'm still working on the flash fiction, don't worry. You'll see some of them tomorrow and then the rest on Monday.

Just a friendly reminder of the on-going contest for chances to win free copies of any one of my three novels or a request fic of your choosing, specifics at your discretion.

Check out the hit counter on my author's website The Den of Debauchery and see if you're the lucky visitor!

At present, the next winner is just around the corner. As of this posting, there's only 34 more hits until 6666. and after that, you'll be looking for hit number 7000. Take a screenshot and e-mail it to me, easy as pie. My e-mail addy is crya2evans@yahoo.com.

And while you're there, I'd love it if you took the chance to sign my guestbook. It's been a tad lonely lately.

More updates to come in the future. I've a new Bleach fanfic to introduce, a RenjixIshidaxIchigo series and an Ichigo/Ishida oneshot, as well as some more original pieces like Azriel/Kieran smut and -- finally -- I'll get started on War of the Animum: Wolf in the Fold.

>>This is a contest from my publisher, Torquere Press, giving you a chance to win all kinds of free stuff! I'm taking part in it as well. Scroll down for more info!
