Confession: A. Sparrow has given me a taste for Steam-punk--

I am getting a taste for steam! My favorite authors of the genre outside of romance are China Mieville, Elizabeth Bear, and of course, inside of romance, my role model

Angelia Sparrow.

She even dresses the part to attend conventions! Now she's gotten herself interviewed in an online 'zine about her steam punk

http://www.wix.com/imagyro/home

I began as a fan of her Star Wars fan fiction. Then she let me beta-read an MM pirate historical, an MF Western, and my favorite, the MM sci-fi For Love of Etarin, when she and Naomi Brooks went professional. I was really thrilled to edit her solo works

The Nikolai series,

set in an alternate future Universe, the Confederate States of America, with us at

Dark Roast Press.

The Confederate States of America in my personal opinion qualifies as steam-punk, although the focus is less on the technologies; huge numbers of the citizens have regressed to antebellum lifestyles and values, including crinolines and top hats. Not to mention their horrible reversion to bonded servitude and racism! As well as Nikolai and the sequel Niko-chan, her devilish hero Nick will be in a third volume, and characters from the series have starred in three of our anthology collections--

As far as I know the only title set in this future of hers that we don't carry is Glad Hands, available at Torquere Press. Naomi helped with that, so it isn't one of ours.

Her devilish hero Nick will be in a third volume, and characters from the series have starred in two of our anthology collections. Keep an eye out for NICK and CORBAN, coming in 2012!

In our NEW erotic anthology THE DARK SEASON, Angelia contributed a true steam-punk MMF set in the alternate past, in the Republic of Ireland, complete with slavery, zeppelins, and thought control. You will love it.

That is a quick explanation of my conversion to steam-punk, from a simple erotic romance editing fan-fictioner. And it's all Angelia's fault!

Scalzi Sci-Fi/Fantasy new works awareness posting

Last year, after noting my own award-eligible works, I posted another thread for other folks in the science fiction and fantasy field to make potential award nominators aware of their works and/or personal award eligibility. It turned out to be pretty useful, so I’m doing it again this year. Right now! In this comment thread, even.

So if you’re a science fiction and fantasy author, editor, or artist: Tell us what works of yours (or if you in yourself) are eligible for award consideration this year. The site gets up to 50,000 visitors a day, many of whom nominate for Hugos/Nebulas/Other genre awards, so it’s a decent way to get the word out.

And now: Rules (posted word for word from last year)!.....

Helga has posted her own stuff, and a link to other things. It gets me thinking it's time to nominate at Preditors & Editors. Haven't done that yet.
WE did win some shiny badges in the past there.

GLBT Promo Blog: Interview with Angelia Sparrow, author of Power in ...

GLBT Promo Blog: Interview with Angela Sparrow, author of Power in ...: Interview with Angela Sparrow, author of Power in the Blood | sugarbeatsbooks.com

This is a pretty decent interview with one of my 'heroes', author Angelia Sparrow. I first met her in fan-fiction days, when she was mainly known to me through her Luke and Han Star Wars slash. Then I learned more of her through her long-gone Geocities site. About the time she decided to become a truck driver and go into professional writing with Naomi Brooks, she granted me the great privilege of beta reading some things which have appeared at other presses. Those books are For Love of Etarin (MM scifi) and Kestrel on the Horizon (MM pirate historical)

Quite soon after, Dark Roast Press was born, and Angelia's future BDSM series, Nikolai, lost its publisher and needed a new home. We were all too glad to provide it!

The covers above all contain bits from this heavy-duty series set in the 'Confederate States of America'. There is also a short called 'Breakers' in our Free Sampler Anthology, Barista's Choice . In 2012 we look forward to publishing the next in the series, Nick and Corban.

Angelia has also added to our anthology The Dark Season. She goes to lots of conventions and manages to have a family life too! Yup, she's my hero.

Stay tuned to Dark Roast Press for more of her talented tough love!

Dark Roast Press MM spotlight…

The words of our founder, Rhiannon Rhodes:

‘Dark Roast Press is an ePublisher with not only a GLBT focus but also with a thirst for the dark side of life. No, we will not abandon the "mainstream" road that the Erotica world has laid before us, but we have created a home for the kinks of life we like to keep secret.’

So it is no surprise that fully half of our Erotic Romance titles are either MM or have MM content. We were an MM publisher before it was hip, and you will love our flavor.

JAMIE LYNN MILLER

is one of our founding authors. Her MM contemporary tales are focused on real men in real life dramas.

synopsis http://www.darkroastpress.com/wasabi.php

Mention must also be made of the Noah Ravenswood Series by Chris Newman. The seven volumes of the paranormal erotic adventures of a Wiccan sleuth defy easy classification, but contain many GLBT scenes and sub-plots. One client has married his transgender boyfriend and begun a family; another lesbian couple meet and bond during volume 2.
