Avalon In which Angel brings out some things to show you all and laments the shortage of anti-gravity cows: Hell for the Company By Angel Martinez Brimstone 1 From The Horns & Halos Anthology Release Date: January 4, 2014 Word Count: 22,700 Mischief Corner Books Amazon All Romance Demons and Angels have been among us for thousands of years, in many cultures and in many forms. What happens when you set the Mischief Corner authors loose on the vague prompt "Write a story about angels or demons?" The poor unsuspecting world is about to find out. From Angel Martinez - Hell For The Company: Brimstone #1 Shax, the Demon Prince of Thieves, has reconciled himself to exile. He has a grand time careening around the galaxy as a high-end, intergalactic purloiner of pretties. Everything's going just fine, thank you very much. All right, fine, the anti-gravity cows are a bit problematic and some of his buyers are bad for his health, but he manages until he comes across an injured angel in a psychedelic alien jungle. He only rescues the wing boy for his golden feathers, but what Shax doesn’t know about angels could fill an intergalactic encyclopedia. 3rd Place, Best Gay Fantasy - 2013 Rainbow Awards One of my favorite people on any continent is here to visit today - Toni Griffin! - with her special surprise for Valentine's Day and some lovely prizes - so don't forget the Rafflecopter at the end of the post!

Born and raised in the state she's a Territorian through and through. Growing up Toni hated english with a passion (as her editors can probably attest to) and found her strength lies with numbers. Now, though, she loves escaping to the worlds she creates and hopes to continue to do so for many years to come. She's a single mother of one and works full time. When she's not writing you can just about guarantee that she will be reading one of the many MM authors she loves. Where to find the author: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/toni.griffin.author: Other: http://www.tonigriffin.net/ E-mail: info(at)tonigriffin.net https://twitter.com/MischiefCorner If you haven't seen it yet, there are some changes to how books can be purchased at GRL this year - more in line with what happens at RT and so on. Since all books are being sold at the con on consignment, you're going to see a lot of publishers and authors offering pre-order options. Why? When books are sold on consignment (and they are this year due to odd Illinois regulations) the seller of record takes a percentage - which means most publishers and authors will have to charge more than they normally would to compensate. The good news is that there will be options to pre-order - pay for your books ahead of time so you're not purchasing them at the convention. Then you get to pick up your books at GRL without the hassle of cash and extra fees and stuff. This also means discounts, sales and savings for the reader, cause we'd all rather you pre-ordered. :) Mischief Corner Books has their pre-order form all set up with invoicing through Paypal. If you're planning on any MCB paperback purchases (Toni Griffin, Freddy MacKay, Angel Martinez, Silvia Violet, Mathilde Watson, Andi Anderson) please fill out the form below (or from the MCB site) and we'll deliver at GRL. We'll all be happy to meet you in person that way, too! |
