I’ve been so lucky with my covers. 🙂 So that’s all I need to tell you about at the moment. Working on Losing Sight of the Target and edits on From Yesterday. Once those are done, I’ll be starting Footsteps of My Father, book 3 of the Rags to Riches series. Also Devon and I will be starting A Grand Prix Romance, taking place in Monaco during the Formula One Grand Prix of Monaco. 🙂 And I have a special project I’m working on as well and as soon as I can, I’ll tell you all about it.

 

Well, I hope you’re all warm and safe. Have a great weekend.

New cover…

closethedistance_800-1

 

 

First off, I’d like to share the cover for Close the Distance, book 2 in the Rags to Riches series. Yes, it’s the same guy from Remove the Empty Spaces. Which makes me very happy because Close picks up pretty much right where Remove left off. So you get two stories about Adrien and Ion. The 3rd book, Footsteps of My Father (title subject to change…lol) is next up on my list to be written. That one will be about Patrick, Ion’s best friend and Adrien’s personal assistant. He gets to meet Winston, the head of the London branch of Adrien’s company. It’s up on the coming soon page at Totally Bound. Click here to check it out.

Secondly, I was asked about book conventions and how to find them. I guess the best bet would be to google book conventions in your area or simply ask other authors which ones they’ve gone to and which ones they’d recommend for what you’re writing.

Like for romance, there’s the Romantic Times convention-which is geared towards readers but they do have industry panels where authors can learn new things from other authors. Plus you get to interact with a lot of readers. 🙂  The RWA (Romance Writers of America) convention tends to run towards authors/industry more than readers, though they do have a huge book signing.

Then there’s conventions for mystery/suspense and fantasy/sci-fi writers/readers. It’s simply a matter of doing the research to find which ones are in your area or are something you might be interested in going to.

I’ll be going to three cons this year-Spring Fling (which is put on by the a Chicago RWA chapter) in April in Chicago. The RT convention in May in New Orleans and GRL  in Chicago in October.

RT and GRL are the two cons I always attend each year. But they might not be the right ones for other authors to attend. It’s really important to do your research and make sure you’re going to get the best return for your money when you go to cons. Of course, sometimes it’s nice to go just to have fun. 🙂

I hope everyone is staying warm and have a great weekend.

 

New Fallen book available…

New York_0003

 

If you’re interested, you can check it out here. 🙂

Well, I finished Close the Distance and subbed it. Yay! As soon as I get the release dates, I’ll let you know. Now I’m working on Brazil with Devon Rhodes and Fallen: London, Book 7 of the Fallen series. And various other stories as they pop into my head. But those are the major two. lol I’m starting 2014 out on a good foot. Already subbed one book…lol

I hope you have a marvelous weekend. Stay safe and warm. 🙂

Wednesday Work in Progress…

Okay, so this snippet is from Close the Distance, which is Book 2 of the Rags to Riches series. This book starts the day after Remove the Empty Spaces ends. Now RtES is available for pre-order right now and will be available for early download on Friday and general release on the 31st.  As soon as I get the information on Close the Distance, I’ll let you all know when it’ll be available. Of course, I need to finish it first which I plan on doing today and tomorrow. 🙂

Here you go:

Close the Distance copyright 2014 T.A. Chase

Excerpt: (NSFW)

“Do we have everything?”

Ion turned to look at Adrien as he wandered through their suite of rooms. “I think so, but if we don’t, it’s not like your mom can send them back to the city for us.”

Adrien frowned. “You’re right. I just feel like I’m forgetting something.”

Reaching out, Ion snagged Adrien then pulled him close, encircling his waist. He tugged on the blue silk tie his lover wore. “I told you not to get dressed up to meet my parents.”

“What do you mean?” Adrien glanced down at his white linen dress shirt, silk tie, and tailored black pants. “This isn’t dressed up.”

For him, no it wasn’t dressed up. Not when the man wore thousand dollar suits to the office every day. For Ion’s family, a tie like that was for church, weddings and funerals. He trailed his fingers through the curls at the nape of Adrien’s neck before taking the tie in hand to remove it.

“Trust me. You don’t need a tie for dinner.” He tossed it onto the bed then pressed open-mouthed kisses along Adrien’s jaw. “I’d suggest you change your whole outfit, but I don’t think you’d feel comfortable in anything else.”

“I do have jeans and T-shirts, Ion,” Adrien commented as he tipped his head, giving Ion more access to his neck. “I thought I’d try to make a good impression on them during our first meeting.”

Ion hummed, not interested in talking about his parents any more. He brought their lips together while he started to unbutton Adrien’s shirt. Once he got it off, Ion let it drop to the floor then bent to lick one of the copper flat nipples lightly covered with hair.

Adrien cradled the back of his head, keeping him close. “We don’t have time for this. Not if we want to get to your parents’ before dinner.”

“I’m not worried about that. We can go next Sunday or the week after that,” he murmured, easing from one nipple to the other, sucking on it and using a little teeth. Ion worried at the nub of flesh and drew a moan from Adrien.

He encouraged Adrien to ease back, and step by step, he moved them to the edge of the bed then he shoved. Laughing, he watched as Adrien tilted until he fell on the mattress.

“What the hell?” Adrien braced his hands on the comforter as he stared up at Ion.

“I’m feeling a little hungry,” Ion muttered before dropping to his knees. He unbuckled Adrien’s belt, fumbled with his zipper to get those crazy expensive slacks open.

He tugged the fabric down while Adrien lifted his hips and his cock sprang out, hard and curved over his abs. Licking his lips, Ion studied the well-formed erection in front of him. Thicker and a little longer than his. The head was fleshy and purple and was a little shiny from the pre-cum leaking from it already.

It rose from a trimmed nest of dark curls and his balls hung heavy beneath it. Ion reached out to take them in hand. He fondled then rolled them in his fingers. Leaning in, he sucked one than the other. There was a salty taste to his skin along with the lingering scent of the soap they’d used earlier in the shower.

He pressed his tongue against the lightly furred sac before letting it slip from his mouth. Adrien gripped his head then directed his mouth to the tip of his shaft. Ion willingly opened, taking him without hesitation. He loved how he felt lying on his tongue.

When Adrien hit the back of his throat, Ion swallowed, massaging his length. His lover moaned and he smiled around the dick in his mouth. He loved knowing he draw those sounds out and make Adrien lose control. After slipping his finger in beside Adrien’s cock, he got it wet then rubbed it over Adrien’s hole.

“Your mouth,” Adrien murmured. “I love the way it feels. Almost as good as your ass.”

Ion pushed just the tip of his finger inside and Adrien moaned. Arching, Adrien thrust into his mouth then impaled himself. It was what he wanted, his lover taking what he needed.

They had done away with condoms for blow jobs over the weekend, and when they got back to the city, they were going to get tested. Once their negative results came back, he would finally get to feel what fucking bareback was like. Well he’d get a chance to remember what it felt like. His first couple of times having sex had been non-condom times, and he’d been lucky not to catch anything.

One of his close friends had got HIV, and it shook Ion to his core. That was when he promised himself that he was never going to believe he was invincible again. He always carried condoms in his wallet.

But now loving Adrien meant he could get rid of them and experience the amazing sensation of Adrien spilling inside him. A little tug on his hair brought his mind back to what he was doing and not on what was going to happen in the future. Ion went back to bobbing up and down, applying as much pressure as he could to draw another groan from Adrien.

Two fingers inside Adrien and Ion twisted them to nail his gland. He gagged slightly when Adrian shoved his cock a little deeper than was comfortable for Ion. But he didn’t back off, working Adrien as best he could until he got a tap on the cheek, letting him know Adrien was close.

He upped the pressure and movement until Adrien tensed under him, and his mouth was flooded with salty bitterness. Drinking it down, Ion tried to get all of it but some trickled from the corner of his lips.

When Adrien began to soften, Ion licked him clean then let him slide out. Adrien pulled him up before encouraging him to lean forward. Adrien lapped at the cum on Ion’s chin while working Ion’s jeans open.

“Oh fuck me,” Ion whispered as the smooth skin of Adrien’s hand surrounded his heated flesh.

He was primed, so it only took three hard tugs and he climaxed, coating Adrien’s hand and his own pants. Working his cock, Adrien didn’t let up until Ion was so sensitive, he had to get away from his lover. After rolling to one side, Ion stared up at the ceiling while he tried to get his breathing under control.

Almost a new year….

I love Ben Cohen. He’s so hot…and adorable, plus he’s a good man. 🙂 also, a rugby player, so how can you not like him?

Anyway…sorry about last week. It all kind of got away from me and I just didn’t have time to get stuff done. But this week is different. Tomorrow starts our new blog story, Why I Love Bodyguards. 🙂 I hope you enjoy it.

I’m working on Close the Distance, which is Book 2 in the Rags to Riches series. I’m hoping to have it done by Friday. After that, I’ll be starting London, Book 7 in the Fallen series. Plus Devon and I will be starting Brazil, Book 6 in the International Men of Sports series. Yay! Yes, I’ll have a lot to do, but I’m going to try and get them all done.

Also, I’m in the process of plotting out a new co-authored series with an awesome writer who is a good friend of mine as well. 🙂 As soon as we get started on it, I’ll share more information.

I hope you all had a marvelous Christmas or holiday.

Wednesday’s Work in Progress…NSFW

tumblr_m9hmhnWbLE1qeadajo1_500

 

 

My Work in Progress this week is titled Close the Distance. It’s book 2 in the Rags to Riches series. In Book 1, Remove the Empty Spaces, we meet Ion and Adrien. RtES will be up for pre-order in January. Anyway, Close the Distance is a continuation of their story. In fact, it’ll be picking up the very next day from where RtES left off.

I started it on Monday so I’m not too far into it, but since I want to get it done before Christmas next week, I’ll be working as much as possible on it. Though I did want to share a NSFW snippet of it with you. Hope you like Ion and Adrien.

Start of another crazy week…

I know…you’re probably like why do you keep sharing the covers for your m/f books here?  lol Because I think they’re beautiful. 🙂 I love them just as much as I do any of the m/m covers I get. 🙂 Los Angeles will be out next Feb. I believe.

Anyway, Canada has been turned in and it now has a title: Burning Up the Ice. We couldn’t get away with calling it Canada…lol I’ll share the cover art for you as soon as I get it. Next up on our world tour is Brazil. Yum! A pro beach volleyball player and a physical therapist who meet during Carnivale. It should be fun.

I’ll be working on finishing Finding Peace…adding a little extra bit at the end then subbing it. 🙂 Once that’s done, I need to start Close the Distance, which is Book 2 in the Rags to Riches series.

Those are my plans for this week. We’ll see how well they go. lol

You had better put on your thinking caps. Tomorrow, you get to offer up suggestions on what type of story should I do next. We’ve already had cowboys, or going back to the world of Angel’s Evolution. Now I do have a story started that takes place in that world. It’s not Shade’s story, but he does play a very important role in it. But I’m open to any and all suggestions. Then on Thursday, I’ll narrow it down to two and you can chose which one. 🙂

have a great Monday, everyone.
