There's gonna be fireworks on the Fiction With Friction blog to celebrate the Fourth of July! Join us starting Saturday June 28th for a week of fireworks-themed manlove hotness, with our members posting new short stories or snippets from upcoming books. Look for my story on Tuesday, July 1st. It's a particular threesome I've been wanting to do for a while *g*

Two pieces of news today. First of all, the release of the last book in the Bay City Paranormal Investigations main series arc, An Inner Darkness, has been moved up! It's now scheduled for release from Samhain on October 28. Just in time for Halloween, pretty appropriate :D

Also, I have cover art for my next release, The Happy Onion! Look how purty! Anne Cain does it again. She is a GODDESS, I tell you. Check it out!

NOW AVAILABLE! Forbidden Love, a journal of dark romance and dark erotic romance stories.

Issue One- Bad Boys.

They are the men who catch our eyes, the rogues, the dangerous dark lovers we’d never take home to our parents. The ones who provide a source of fantasy for dark nights alone, or shared with understanding friends. We shouldn’t want them, we know better, yet we can’t look away.

Welcome to the world of Bad Boys.

Vampires, Gladiators, Pirates and more wait for you within the pages of Forbidden Love

My short story "Into The Black" is the one and only male/male story appearing in issue one of this fantastic new print journal. Click here to read an excerpt!

When you order anything from the Under The Moon webshop, use the order code "AllyB" in the appropriate space on the order form, and that will gain me a little extra money (ten percent of the net amount). This is a fantastic new zine, so be sure you don't miss out! Click the banner above to order the journal!
