Join me in welcoming Rachel Ravenheart to my blog with her newest book, Your Alpha, My Mate, Book 1 in the Lonestar Chronicles! Rachel talks about how she began writing paranormal stories and gives us an exclusive excerpt!

Your Alpha, My Mate is now available at

CoolDudes Publishing and Amazon!

I got started writing paranormal stories after having read a multitude of them. I figured I would try my hand at them, especially since I wanted to get back into writing. My ultimate favorite paranormal is any type of shifter story, especially werewolves. However, I do like the occasional vampire story. I got started on these stories because of the Twilight series, it piqued my interest in werewolves.

When I started writing my husband was and still is all for it even if he doesn’t care for the m/m aspect of my stories. I typically listen to any type of upbeat music to try and get the writing juices flowing and keep them that way. Unfortunately, I do have the occasional bout of writer’s block just like any other writer. I have found that if I work on a writing prompt and walk away from my story for a little while I am usually able to get back to it quickly.

A vampire mage,

a Romani young man,

and a love that won't be denied.

Lord Taliesin Solitaire was born albino, cursed mute by the fey, and betrayed by a vampire lover. For two hundred years the vampire mage has vowed never to love again and has only used sex as a means to a meal. Until a palm-reading gypsy finds himself in peril and Taliesin can’t resist rescuing the beautiful young man.

Pesha Sinclair is the eldest but smallest son of King Vaida Sinclair, the oppressive ruler of the Kåle Romani Compania. Deemed impure by his father, Pesha is shunned and mistreated by his band and four half-brothers, and one brother in particular wants him dead. His pale, silent savior gives him safety, security and a love he never could have imagined. As Pesha falls in love with his handsome white knight, his half-brother does the unthinkable.

Can Taliesin rescue Pesha from the cruel clutches of his half-brother a second time?

About Aisling Mancy

Ash is an author who lives, most of the time, on the West Coast of the United States. Ash writes adult fantasy, science fiction, adult romance, and fiction for gay young adults as C. Kennedy.

Raised on the mean streets and back lots of Hollywood by a Yoda-look-alike grandfather, Ash doesn’t conform, doesn’t fit in, is epic awkward, and lives to perfect a deep-seated oppositional defiance disorder. In a constant state of fascination with the trivial, Ash contemplates such weighty questions as If time and space are curved, then where do all the straight people come from? When not writing, Ash can be found taming waves on western shores, pondering the nutritional value of sunsets, appreciating the much-maligned dandelion, unhooking guide ropes from stanchions, and marveling at all things ordinary.

Find Ash on blog, Twitter @AislingMancy, Facebook, Google+, Goodreads, Booklikes, Amazon, and Ash does respond to emails because, after all, it is all about you, the reader.

Welcome Rob Damon and his debut novel "Into the Team" from CoolDudes Publishing!

Join me in welcoming Rob Damon and his debut novel, Into the Team, to my blog! Into the Team is now available at CoolDudes Publishing and Amazon.

As experienced authors, the memory of the publication of our first novel reigns supreme in our minds. Along with the good comes the fear, anxiety, and the tension. I like to congratulate new authors on, well, becoming an author! It's hard work. Congratulations, Rob!

Enjoy the sexy excerpt and go buy the book!

A little about Into the Team:

Todd, the main character in the novel, has a lot of drive, is optimistic, and chases his dream of becoming a professional footballer with complete focus. Those are admirable qualities, and everyone is inspired by stories of personal achievement.

Into The Team blurs the lines between gay/straight, romance/bromance. And so the idea of a football team, where players must bond with each other, is perfect. Into The Team shows that when men hang up their aggression and turn on their affections, great things can be achieved.

Of course, achieving a dream cannot come without a price, and within the story there are tests the main character must face. How far would he go to not just achieve his dream, but also to maintain it? 

The novel takes male bonding to an extreme, and the idea of bromance is pushed further to create something more like romance. 

Are the characters in this story gay? Should any of us really care? Love can grow between any two people, male or female, gay or straight.
