valarltd | Funny old thing, life...or at least writing

Shell-Shocked has been picked up by Pink Petal Books!

We thought that was going to be an insanely hard sell. I mean, an erotic gay pagan inspirational romance with disabled characters? One of these things is not like the others...

Funny how it sold on the first try and "Showdown at Yellowstone River, which is more mainstream than 90% of our stuff, can't find a home.

But Gabe and Sean, who have come a LOOONG way from their original concept (transabled, limbs turned into lunchmeat, a backpack carrier designed so Gabe can screw Sean in public discreetly), are going to see the light of day!

“Two cups of coffee, hon, and put that on my check.” He looked at Gabe. “You okay with being awake for the next seventy-two hours?”

Gabe smiled and touched his hand again. “I am if you are.”

Sean shuddered and pulled his hand away. “It's not you. I mean, I know you're hitting on me, and I'm fine with it being you. But I have--”

"Issues?” Gabe supplied.

"Whole fucking subscription. Another long story." Sean sighed and sipped the coffee. “I follow Joss Whedon's philosophy of sex.”

"Sexbots are hot, sex is bad and all vampires are gay?”

Sean finally smiled at this. “Maybe not the last part.”

Gabe nodded. “It's all right. Look me up if you want a reading or a friend or just someone to sit with at the clinic." He dropped a fiver on the table to cover his lunch.

Sean paid his own. “I'll, uh, power you back home, if you'd like.”

Gabe's smile dazzled him. “I'd like. A lot.”
