New free read: Midsummer Baker by Megan Derr

You can now download an official copy of Midsummer Baker by Megan Derr from the Book Market. Midsummer Baker is a stand-alone short story in the Midsummer series.

A sweet baker with spicy taste…

Marcell lives a quiet life, keeping the treats coming in his aunt’s bakery. He is well known for his manners, his shy demeanor, and his perfect cinnamon rolls. He’s a classic good boy, who has never stepped so much as a toe out of line.

The Withers Boys are the town bad boys—faerie half-brothers whose only talents are their green thumbs and an unmatched ability to cause trouble. When they’re not causing trouble, it’s only because the Sheriff has caught them for the moment.

But things are never what they seem in a small town, and it’s always the quiet ones…This is Book 4 of the Midsummer series, but can be read without reading the prior books.

Warning: This story features incest and a threesome.

Winners of the Dance with the Devil ebook giveaway!

Congratulations to the three winners of the our Dance with the Devil giveaway! Check your inbox for your copy of Dance with the Devil by Megan Derr!

  • Amber Wheat: Creatures, huh? I really am partial to demons because you never know what you’re going to get with a demon. Sometimes they are truly evil representations of all things bad and sometimes they are just misunderstood citizens of a place that outsiders deem “hell”. Demons come in all different shapes and sizes. In some stories they have grotesque appearances and can be spotted by the hero immediately, sometimes they wear gorgeous skins and take the hero in with a charming appearance, and sometimes they are the normal, everyday people walking down the street. I especially like it when the demon is the hero and the “hero” is actually a manipulative, backstabbing, selfish douche. And the horns, I especially like the horns! I love smartass demons, one in particular comes to mind… Becket! I love Becket, and my heart broke when… well never mind, go read the story, it broke my heart. Becket is a fantastic demon, just enough demonness and just enough smartass, and just enough hopeless romantic! Team Becket for the win!
  • Rylie: I’m going to have to say dragons as my favorite. I haven’t read a book or story yet, either eastern or western, where I disliked the dragons. Being able to fly must be amazing. I do love that Mercedes Lackey had a subspecies called bookwyrms and their hoard was rare books.
  • Ananas: I’d love to run into a shapeshifter. not necessarily a were anything, but I’ve always loved the idea, and how (in general) they are associated with tricksters. at least in my mythologies.

Dance with the Devil now available in the Book Market!

You can now find Dance with the Devil by Megan Derr in the Book Market for just $6.99!

In a world of demons, goblins, witches, sirens, werewolves, vampires, and so much more, it can be difficult to determine who is guilty of what and why. Chris White is a detective who fearlessly investigates this supernatural world, himself a unique product of it. He will take any case brought to him, but has a particular affinity for helping those who inhabit the poor districts of his city. From strange rituals and runaway vampires, to fighting sorcerers and confronting a demon lord, this paranormal detective will face any challenge—even a dance with the devil.

Private Dicks: Undercovers, an LT3 call for submissions

OPEN TO SUBMISSIONPrivate Dick: Undercovers
The life of a private investigator is boring more often than it is exciting—tracking debtors, tailing cheating spouses, and long hours of surveillance do not add up to a sizzling life of mystery and romance.

But every now and then there comes a case that takes all a good PI has to offer and demands still more. A case that requires not just time and effort, but sliding in to another skin to find that clue or witness that will break the case. How far will a PI go to do his job; how high will he climb, how low will he sink?

Give us your stories of private investigators willing to don any guise to solve the case.

THE DETAILS:

  • Deadline is January 4TH
  • Stories should be approx 10,000-20,000 words in length (a little longer or shorter is fine).
  • Stories must have a happily ever after end.
  • Any genre is acceptable; stories may be contemporary, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, etc. There must be a strong element of a private investigator going undercover, but be as creative as you like in executing that theme. We are looking for fun, unique spins on this popular genre.
  • All usual LT3 submission guidelines apply.
  • Payment is $150.00, electronic copies, and two copies of the print book.

Reminder: Angels and Vixen Submissions

Remember! Submissions for the Something Happened on the Way to Heaven close on June 30, 2011 and submissions for Vixen close on July 31, 2011! If you need more time to finish your submissions, email the editor and request a deadline extension.

Queen, Princess, Lady, peasant, mercenary, whore, pirate, knight, cop, clerk, soldier, and everything in between—and always a mother, daughter, sister, lover, and friend. The power and appeal of women is great, and there’s nothing better than watching a woman do what she loves best.

But what happens when what she loves best is another woman? What does a Queen do when she wants no man to be her consort? What of a princess who will never be a damsel to any prince? What tale can you spin of women loving women? A modern tale of a working mother? A romantic tale of a stoic lady knight? A femme fatale? A lady dragon? A prostitute looking to change her fate? Bring us your finest tales of what can happen when the only thing that will make a woman happy is the embrace of another woman…
