July looks like a busy month for you. I saw books for Pepper, Vivien, and the two of you together XD

I peeked at Vivien's Samhain title too. Is "A Calling of Souls" a new series? If it is, will it turn into a menage somewhere down the line? I admit the book looks really tempting. Perhaps it's the guy with the mullet on the cover. He's making eye contact w/ me! And his eyes say come hither.

Ee... Just clarifying that I really like the cover for "Walk Among Us." I read back the comment I posted and it looked like I was making fun of the cover or something D:

July's *really* busy, lol. We have 8 titles coming out between us. I have 2 in the song paxes at Amber Quill, Pepper has 2, and we wrote two together as JC. Then we've got our July Calendar Boy story, and Querida, the het novella at Samhain.

"A Calling of Souls" isn't a series, per se. It's a collection of three novellas, all gay romances, that we call our priest stories, lol. Mine is a paranormal about an ex-priest, Pepper's is a fantasy about a young man who's supposed to join the priesthood, and the title we wrote jointly as JC is a contemporary about an Anglican priest. They're getting released individually first, and then next year will get bundled into a print anthology. The way the release schedule happened, though, Pepper's and the JC title won't come out until September as e-books.

Oh, no, I didn't think that! No worries there. :)

Today I noticed the tiny toggle box that says "E-mail follow-up comments..." and clicked it. Ah technology...

I vaguely remember you talking about this series before. It must the priesthood part that jogged my memory. I like books that tackle gay clergy, and especially how they deal with their religion. I recently read a mystery (w/ gay clergy) called Body and Blood and it was really good.
