They're out to protect their way of life, and sometimes that means extreme measures. When Danny's brother proposes aerial wolf hunting, Danny enters their sights. Danny was the closet case in high school, and now, he'll be their sex toy. The shifter pair is ready to do whatever it takes to stop the hunting and maybe add a sexy human man to their pack.

Congrats Cheryl! Looks like and sounds like an awesome book! I even read the excerpt and it has me craving more. The cover is really cool and I know most of the time authors don't have much of a say with the covers but did you picture this type of cover when you wrote the story? Is the golden tones of the people significant? Is the guy that's mostly golden but also flesh colored Danny?

Happy Release Day! Another scorching series by one of my new fav authors. Thanks to Authorisland for introducing us. Anne took my question. I guess we will have to wait & see.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments:)
ReplyDeleteThe phases series has a ton of great authors. I'm lucky I got in! Brynn Paulin, Bronwywn Green (sorry , I spell her name wrong!) to name a couple. We all get 2 books. So you'll get a phase book EVERY month in 2011.
My other month is Nov---FYI.
All the stories are Menage and shifter. That's all I can say. Not everyone will be m/m but I'm sure plenty of them will contain m/m.
So that's a start....let me see what else you want to know;)
Cheryl
Location...nope no limits on location either. This one is alaska because I wanted to explore the topic of aerial wolf hunting and alaska is ideal for wolves and hunters. plus you get the long long alaskan nights.....
ReplyDeletebut the phase books can take place anywhere. My november one will be set in the great state of Nevada!
cheryl
The cover. Great question!
ReplyDeleteFor 99% of my releases, I have a great deal of input and I get to veto if I really hate something. Resplendence is great that way:)
However, since there are 12 books, 6 authors in the series....they wanted a consistent look. So they put our head cover artist on the job and you'll probably see a format consistency overall. I didn't have much control on this one.
The golden skin isn't part of the book. I'm not sure if that's to reflect the shifter aspect, though the wolf gives it away...but it looks awesome! So I'm enjoying the three hot men on the cover.

This story sounds so steamy and intriguing. I'm ssssoooo adding this to my tbr mountain. I love menage stories and have been enjoying the m/m genre for a long time and was wondering.....what draws you to writing in the m/m genre?
ReplyDeletejoderjo402 AT gmail DOT com
m/m is fun because its men and feelings. and its raw and real...men being emotional and loving with each other. It's so hot!!
ReplyDeleteI love putting it in my menage stories too. a woman gets more than one guy...and then gets to watch them!!
m/m/m was a bit tricky. that's A LOT of testoterone in one room. and no woman to mellow it out.
but m/m and menage+ are my favorite genres so I have a lot of fun in my writing:)
cheryl
OH man this is awesome. I can't believe this! Wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay my question: What's under your bed?
I mean with all these m/m/m/m around here and shifters... humm... I think you must have a party underneath there! =) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

ReplyDeleteDid you have a playlist/specific song that you listened to for inspiration while writing this book?

Congratulations on your new release it sounds like a great read.
ReplyDeletesstrode@scrtc.com
Oh wow...this one sounds amazingly hot!!! What drives you to write erotica? I know this is a loaded questions but I have always wondered that with you and other erotica authors...
ReplyDeleteLove reading the answers to the questions. I've been wondering if any of the male characters in your books resemble any male friends you have in real life? Or did you just make their personalities up in your mind.
ReplyDeletemiztik_rose@yahoo.com
Hi Cheryl and Author Island folks, like DeNita!
ReplyDeleteSo, a question for Cheryl...how do you keep all that testosterone straight...er... I mean, how do you keep all those men in line?
Your books rock!
