New free read: Midsummer Baker by Megan Derr

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!

New Paperbook! Prisoner by Megan Derr

Less Than Three Press is pleased to present the new paperbook Prisoner by Megan Derr. Get your copy today, while the 15% off Beach Days Summer Sale is still in effect!

A man whom all men fear…

General Dieter von Adolwulf has led the Scarlet Army of Kria to victory for the past decade, holding the infamous field known as the Regenbogen against Kria’s hated enemies—the deceptive Illussor and the ruthless Salharans. War has waged between the three nations for longer than anyone can remember, but no one has held the Regenbogen as well as the notorious Wolf of Kria and his fearsome army.

A man who fears nothing…

Returning home at the end of the year, the Scarlet Army is attacked in the dead of night by a single man who manages to kill hundreds before he is finally captured. A Salharan soldier with no name, no purpose but to kill, he refuses to bend to the Wolf who takes him prisoner and forces upon him a despicable Krian name.

A man with nothing to lose…

When the rest of his army is slaughtered by Illussor soldiers desperately seeking his prisoner, Dieter determines to hold fast—both for answers and in revenge for the men he lost. But answers and revenge are hard to come by when surrounded by secrets and treachery, and the man least likely to kill him is the prisoner who most wants him dead.

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.
