I’ll be over on the Dreamspinner Group at Goodreads today from 1:00 to 6:00 (eastern time) to chat, answer questions about Wolf’s-own, and whatever comes up. (Or, you know—stare at the walls and listen to the crickets.) The direct link is HERE. Stop by and wave, if you can.

Also, I’m still at the YA LGBT Books group at May Featured Author and Aisling - Guardian, talking about Aisling (and fantasy and world-building and Lois McMaster Bujold, among other things) until the end of the month.

Hope to see you!

The Erotic Romance Scavenger Hunt is a blog hop featuring nineteen authors, a ton of exclusive material and fantastic giveaways, and an amazing grand prize for one lucky scavenger hunter.

Just joined the hunt? Click here to start from the beginning.

RULES: Hidden within each post on the hunt will be a single letter that is red. Jot those letters down because they're part of the following mystery phrase you'll need to unscramble:

_ _ _ _ I _ _     _ _ _ _ _ _ _     _ _ R     _ _ _ _


At the bottom of each post will be a link to your next stop on the hunt. Once you've completed the hunt, read all the fantastic exclusive material and entered all the individual giveaways, unscramble the letters you collected to reveal the mystery phrase. When you've uncovered the phrase, fill out the entry form in order to qualify for the grand prize. Grand prize is open internationally. You must be 18 or older to enter.

The hunt will only be open for 72 hours so play fast! Entries sent without the correct phrase or without contact information will not be considered. All entries must be received by May 28 at noon Central Time.

On with the hunt!

It’s my very sincere pleasure to introduce Ms. Ava March!Collapse )

Anne Cain’s cover art for Weregild is in round one for the preliminary stage of elisa_rolle’s Rainbow Awards. This stage will determine if the cover art moves on to the actual judging stages later on.

Now, this is not for me, this is for Anne, who I know you all agree did a fab job on the entirety of the Wolf’s-own series. So if you get a moment and wouldn’t mind, pop by and give her a click on the poll.

I found the easiest way to do it was to open two windows--one for the cover art itself and one for the actual voting poll.

Some are okay, some are kinda ‘meh’ but some of them are really amazing. So even if you end up not voting for any of them, you’ll at least get some decent eye-candy. ;)

And it’s a free read! You can’t go wrong!

Love Merlin? Love Arthur? Wonder what they’d be like as college roommates? Like endearing snarky humor and lots of UST that turns into RST (eventually) and terrific characterization? Then you have to read:

THE STUDENT PRINCE by FayJay

A Modern day Merlin alternate universe set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...

Now here’s the thing--this is apparently fanfic based on the current series on… BBC, I think? which I haven’t watched (but will hopefully get around to… um, someday). Except I didn’t know that when I read it, and the really brilliant thing is that I couldn’t tell while I was reading it. So if you’ve never seen the series, it doesn’t matter. If you have, I bet it doesn’t matter then, either.

The whole cast of characters is there, and though you'll think you know what they'll do and where it's going, trust me, you won't--but in a really good way! It’s sweet, it’s sometimes a bit raunchy, it’s funny, it’s absorbing, and it’s--with no derisive roll of the eyes or curl of the lip--terribly cute. I was happy when I finished it. I was smiling. I wished I’d paid for it as some kind of token of appreciation to the author. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this story. So if you want a feel-good free read that’s really the size of a decent novel, ones like this don’t come along very often. I hope you read it and I hope you enjoy. :)

For those of you who are Jordan Castillo Price fans (and I know there are at least a few of you here), she’s started publishing a new series in WIP format. The way I understand it, she will be offering each installment for free on a monthly basis, and then once it’s complete, she’ll offer it in book format. But right now, you can follow it for free.

Get Turbulence #1: Into the Bermuda Triangle here.

I want to thank everyone very sincerely for playing along. This was great fun for me, and so interesting to see what you all came up with. I’m going to share the answers with you, but let this serve as a warning to anyone who hasn’t read Ghost or Weregild that there are some major spoilers to follow.

What happened to the braid after Malick cut it off?Collapse )

Two days left to enter to win an advance reader copy of Koan.

For those of you who have not read them but were thinking about it:


GHOST and WEREGILD e-book
May 14th - May 21st


Random drawing for e-books.

That's it. To win both books, just email me at carole AT carolecummings DOT com (SUBJECT: Ghost/Weregild) or leave a comment here within the timeframe and I'll choose a name at random on the 21st and notify the winner. One entry per person, please.

You will need an account at Dreamspinner Press in order to collect your e-books. If you don't have one, it only takes a minute, and there is no credit card info or anything like that required.

Now don’t peek at the next one, because there are spoilers. ;)

For those who’ve read the first two:



KOAN e-ARC
May 14th - May 18th


Simply answer the question: What happened to the braid after Malick cut it off? and email it to carole AT carolecummings DOT com. Make sure you put KOAN CONTEST in the subject line. You will need an account at Dreamspinner Press in order to collect your e-book. If you don't have one, it only takes a minute, and there is no credit card info or anything like that required.

A winner will be chosen by me on May 18th and awarded the e-ARC for Wolf's-own, Book Three: Koan. Just in time for weekend reading. ;)

There is no right or wrong answer. There is no answer at all, which is why I'm asking the question. And there will be no blind drawing or objective criteria for awarding the prize. 'Wow' me, entertain me, make me think--whoever gives me an answer that makes me laugh or groan or say 'Ah-ha! That's it!' gets the advance copy of book three.

You can enter as many times as you like, but please do not comment here with your answer. Email only to the above address. My daughter will be screening my email for me so that all I see are the answers with no names attached to them.

Shut up, I’m a girl, and it’s Mother’s Day—I can get soppy if I wanna.

You have to read THIS—5 Real Animal Friendships Straight Out of Disney. All of them are great, but then you get to the last one, and it gives you a link to THIS.

Okay, it has nothing to do with Mother’s Day. But still. Trembling lip, teary eyes, and a great big Awwww! right out loud. What a great way to start my day. I’m still smiling. 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

From addie71

No comment I could make could have the impact of what this video says. So here it is, speaking for itself.

Addie asked that it be shared. So I'm sharing it. Thank you, Addie.

But I felt myself working up to a ranty essay, so I figured I'd better just shut up. I would, however, like to share the link with you and see what you think.

Fanfiction--When is it Original Fiction?

But THIS GUY is now officially my hero.

Oakland A’s righthander Brandon McCarthy has had just about enough of Kiss Cam and the anti-gay overtones he believes it conveys.

Apparently, someone--actually, two someones--found my site by Googling the keyword phrase 'fornicate the constable'. 0.o And six someones found it by Googling different variations on 'free aisling torrent download'. Bastards.

Strangely (or possibly predictably), I'm boggling more about the first one than the second. I know the word 'constable' shows up on my site, but I think I'd know if 'fornicate' did. Does Google pick up on a site's aura, too, or something? Maybe that should be their slogan--Google: We're omnipotent. Stop fighting it.

Also? Mary Shelley's Frankenhole. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?! *loves*

Would anyone like some bookmarks? They've got Anne Cain's Wolf's-own artwork on them, so they're really nice, and I've got some leftover from the DSP NYC trip.

If you want a handful, PM me here with your snail mail (I promise not to stalk you) and I'll get some out to you.

I still like that synopsis better.

RAPPORT—just a little short about Malick’s first meeting with Skel—is now available for free download from Dreamspinner Press.

SYNOPSIS: Life for an immortal can get a little dull. But Skel has just found a new spark of interest in Wolf's new Null, and he's taking another look at life, love, the world, and Kamen Malick.

Anyone who plans to buy any book in the Wolf’s-own series should go take advantage of the offer, even if you’ve already read this particular story, and be sure to check out every last page. (*cough*easter egg*cough*)
