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.

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.

“I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress:I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it’s Congress’ turn.

My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the Fucking Marine Corps first."

Our October releases: The Many Sides of Dark Roast Press

In October 2011 we had a total of eight new releases. They manifested in batches of four, and in each batch, we broke new ground as a publishing entity.

At the beginning of the month, even as we brought out the seventh and final volume of the Ravenswood series, a new series began-- and it is intended for all ages. Yes, it is adventure, yes it is horror, yes it is paranormal, yes it is romantic, but it is Not erotic.Get a taste of the world of Native American psychic Eli Janney, as he travels to the Old World at the behest of the spirits to save his sister's latest obnoxious boyfriend, in spite of himself, in Molly Colton's

Our erotic emphasis was upheld by the life-affirming work of Eva Hore, This internationally published Aussie author graced Dark Roast with a collection that will warm your heart, as well as parts 'down under'...

My own first novel, out at long last, represented the GLBT emphasis, as it is a light-hearted MMF paranormal set in the world of heavy metal music.

Shakti or succubus? Faithful spouse or figment of the imagination? Whatever she is, Rufus and Steen would not have made a grand success in their chosen profession, as the stars of the heavy metal band Virgen Steel, without Heidi. And they probably never would have gotten married - to each other, anyway...

And the soul- shivering conclusion to Noah Ravenswood's demon-hunting career tests the Wiccan investigator to the utmost, as he takes on an infernal plague in volume 7 --

It is certain to hook you on Chris Newman's unique mix of kinky erotica, adventure, horror, and the supernatural. All seven volumes are here at Dark Roast Press for you to savor.Then, as Halloween drew near, we did something we have never done before. We produced a seasonal anthology WITH NO ROMANCE!



The four selections in THE DARK SEASON all contain no-holds-barred sex, but the emphasis is instead upon erotic horror. It is an entirely new flavor, even as Chris Newman brings in zombies from the World of Uprising, and Angelia lets us see her Steam-punk abilities hitherto reserved for other presses...

With that we brought out another volume for the Young Adults, the second Supernatural Highway tale, The Journey, in which our heroEli manages to save the lives of his own sons, bring a crooked mortician to justice, and peace to the unquiet dead.




We brought out a contemporary erotic romance with a dash of FF from Victoria Cannon, the short and sweet Tania--




and finally a true 'happily ever after' paranormal from SM Bach where an inhibited heroine finally chooses to live her life, before it's too late!





All in all our October harvest of delicious Dark Roasted books for you has increased the scope of what you can experience through our supernatural, kinky, and romantic tales. We are ever closer to our goal, as stated by The Boss, Rhiannon Rhodes, of 'a little bit of everything to please anyone.'

"Now these two men don’t have sex they make love and I loved how they both supported each other through everything that is thrown at them. The storyline is solid, the plot great and the characters feel realistic and make a great couple. I will recommend this to those of you who enjoy… loving men, police storylines, excitement, danger, romance and two beautiful men who make one beautiful couple."

For K-9 Officer Shane Walker, transferring from the Tulsa police department to the elite L.A.P.D. was a dream come true. He nearly forgets he’s in Hollywood until he responds to a 911 call that brings him to the home of actor Tyler Donovan. It appears that Tyler has it all – a career that’s on fire and a loving, long-term relationship with his partner, Alex. But then Shane uncovers the truth that Tyler had been trying to hide, and the illusion comes crashing down. Can Shane help Tyler break free of a life he’s convinced he deserves before it’s too late, and in the process help them both find love?

From the Incredible Heidi Wasabi PG Excerpt

Coming April 15--- HARMONY

I was privileged to be allowed to co-author this world-changing romantic fantasy of S M Bach.

Summary:

The course planet Earth had taken led to utter devastation. Over half of the population was in third world poverty or dead already. Lucky for some of us, our one world government, known as Stratus, had a secret plan.

They had discovered years prior a habitable sister planet in our galaxy that they named Eden. In the last days before Earth’s final destruction Stratus allowed a few hundred of us to board the shuttle Eron and begin our journey to repopulate and thrive on Eden. Everything went according to plan, and I was grateful to have my family included in that plan.

Years of growth and construction allowed us to build a community in a town we named Bayou, until our fears were revived once more. The new sun that warmed us with prosperity now burnt those who stayed out in it for more than a few minutes. Life was turned upside-down in a flash. All hope was lost and hearts were drowning in despair as we faced an uncertain future yet again. All hearts but one; that of my own mother Annah.

She had found an ancient tablet in Eden’s fragile soil. The tablet spoke of the devastation and offered a solution to these unbearable days. A sacrifice had to be given and in return it promised restoration of the planet Eden. The problem was, Annah was making a deal with the being Harmony Serpantia, whom she knew nothing of.

The sacrifice was far worse than the townspeople could anhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifticipate. She opened the doors to the other unknown realms, letting darkness into our lives. Lucky for us humans, living amongst us and watching over us were the Felac and Wolac, kind and magical creatures we never even dreamed existed. Faron was one of them, and the moment I met him I knew he would change my life forever.

I am Nadia Kilari and this is my tale.

Stay tuned...Dark Roast Press

The Benders -- a supernatural Epic romance

Bender, a Fallen One, finds himself in love with a mortal, Georgeanne Quade, and produces a son named Griffin. All three have an extraordinary power: bending others to their will and altering the weather. But for Griffin, this power is a curse. Too often he has used it and the results turned out badly. When he falls in love with Bithia Sibbings, he tries hard to become a better person, and ignore his often spontaneous urge to use the 'gift'.

Bithia falls quickly for Griffin too, but her parents will not stand for it. Over the years they have enjoyed gambling and extravagance, and now they are in financial straits. They even lost the deed to La Gema del Sur, their ancestral plantation home. In order to regain ownership, they expect her to live with the Walkinshaws, a wealthy, childless couple in New York City. And this move means providing more than just companionship. Bithia is abhorred by her parent's expectations, and refuses. But Bender is on the sidelines, and coercing her to agree...

Night Owl Reviews Hooked on the Uprising series?

Night Owl Reviews Hooked on the Uprising series?
Tales From the Uprising, Christopher Newman's collection of horror shorts from the Uprising series at Dark Roast Press, is a Night Owl Top Pick!




Here's a link to the entire review, where the reviewer Vicci confesses to being quite anxious for the next installment.

http://www.nightowlreviews.com/nor/Reviews/Vicci-reviews-Tales-From-The-Uprising-by-Christopher-Newman.aspx

“Tales from the Uprising” by Christopher c. Newman is a collections of ghastly tales set during the zombie uprising from the novel “Uprising”. The novella documents individual tales of terror and pandemonium as the city of Youngstown falls under the weight of the uprising.

The novella’s approach to story-telling is similar in style to that of classic weekly television series “The Night Gallery” from back in the 1970’s. Each tale is a glimpse into the life of a few selected Youngstown’s townspeople as the zombie uprising escalates to a full blown outbreak. I loved that each story is full of irony and karma. They really put a meaning to be careful what you wish for, it just might happen.

If you want to ease your pain a little, Vicci, Chris is contributing a new Uprising short, 'Carnival Night', to our upcoming free read sampler collection, Barista's Choice 2 ~ look for it in April!
