Welcome to SYN Consulting, the top business strategy consulting firm in Europe, home to a motley crew whose leader has a life changing secret. CEO, Danica Lestrange, is the first female dragon born in the last 800 years. Hidden from the rest of her kin and raised in the human world, she built a life that she would defend until her death.

A devious plan is unearthed while working on a new business deal that could plunge the dragons into another war with the humans. The humans may have forgotten the last dragon-human war, but the dragons have not.

Blog Tour: Night Kiss by E.T. Malinowski (Excerpt + Giveaway)

E.T. Malinowski has a new queer paranormal book out: Night Kiss.

What could be frightening enough to freeze the blood of a centuries-old Vampire turned K-pop idol?

Being bound to someone.


University student Cheong Jin-woo dreams of working in the arts, especially for BL Entertainment and his favorite band, Bam Kiseu. After seeing the band perform, Jin-woo separates from his friends to explore. What he discovers backstage will change his life.
Does he embrace it or run?


Jung Ki-tae has kept his secret for centuries—until a young fan interrupts his feeding. Even more disturbing is the instant bond Ki-tae feels with Jin-woo—a complication he refuses to allow. Yet resisting becomes increasingly difficult as Jin-woo and a group of students win the chance to make a video for the band, working closely with them for weeks. The obsession Ki-tae felt toward Jin-woo—even before tasting his blood—deepens into genuine feelings, feelings that terrify Ki-tae. But when he finds a way to break the bond, he’s torn between severing the connection and protecting Jin-woo….


Especially with a mysterious killer getting closer.

Blog Tour: Cleaning House by Jeanne G'Fellers (Excerpt + Giveaway)

Jeanne G'Fellers has a new trans-non binary fantasy book out:

Centenary Rhodes is an old soul with a well-traveled name, but she doesn’t know this yet.

Growing up in southern Appalachia wasn’t easy, so Cent left home as soon as she could, but the post-collegiate happiness she’d expected has never occurred. She can’t find a decent date, much less find that special someone and, after losing her job in a corporate downsize, she’s struggling to meet her most basic needs. Her car has been repossessed, her bills are piling up, and her questionable North Chicago neighborhood is dangerous to navigate.

Returning home to Hare Creek, Tennessee, never crosses Cent’s mind until her Great Aunt Tess contacts her with an offer she can’t refuse. The family’s southern Appalachian homestead must be sold, and Aunt Tess needs someone to clean it up. Cent will have access to Aunt Tess’ garden and truck and can live on the homestead rent-free for as long as it takes. A part-time job is waiting for her as well.

It’s a chance to solve some of Cent’s financial woes, but will her return be enough when evil sets its sights on Embreeville Mountain and the homestead?

Cleaning House is a carefully woven Appalachian tapestry of granny magic, haints, elementals, and the fantastic diversity of the human condition – served with a delicious side of fries and a generous quart of peach moonshine.

SYNOPSIS

What if werewolves were real?

What if one of them was different?

What if you were a defective werewolf?

This is not the story of how one night I got bitten and my life changed. Nor is it the story of how I went on a savage killing spree that left me tormented with guilt and dread the next morning.

No.

This is the story of a boy, a boy who’s spent his life running from the shadows of monsters. A boy who never understood why the world hated him with so much odium. Why his mother would throw away her only life to protect his. Why he was never allowed to have friends. Why he never had the childhood every child should. Why he was never allowed to cherish happiness.

This is the story of a boy becoming himself, embracing his vulnerability and learning to accept and love.

This is a story about a werewolf, trying to find the answers to why he was born defective.

And maybe that’s the very reason I become the main course on the menu.

Genre: LGBT, Young Adult

BLURB

John Lennon fought for world peace, but sixteen-year-old hippie hopeful Kale Oswald’s only made it as far as tie-dying his T-shirts with organic grape juice. Now he’s ready to cement his new hippie identity by joining a local human rights organization, but he doesn’t fit in as well as he’d hoped.

After landing himself in the hospital by washing down a Ziploc bag of pills with a bottle of Gatorade, Julian Mendez came clean to his mother: he is a girl stuck in a boy’s body. Puberty blockers have stopped the maturing of the body he feels has betrayed him. They’re also supposed to give him time to be sure he wants to make a more permanent decision, but he’s already Julia in his heart. What he’s not sure he’s ready to face is the post-transition name-calling and bathroom wars awaiting him at school.

When Kale and Julian come face-to-face at the human rights organization, attraction, teenage awkwardness, and reluctant empathy collide. They are forced to examine who they are and who they want to become. But until Kale can come to terms with his confusion about his own sexuality and Julian can be honest with Kale, they cannot move forward in friendship, or anything more.

#IsHeHereYet: Being the Person You Want to Be With is an extremely raw (and funny) look at the perceived epidemic of being single in our quest for love. It dismantles the notion that there is something that we need to do in order to bring in "The One." Instead, it challenges you to be "The One" and see what shows up then. Regardless of the outcome, the end result will be the best version of you possible. This book is geared toward single and partnered people alike. Through personal and professional accounts of real life situations, as well as thought expanding exercises and meditation tools, the reader will leave with a greater understanding and concept of themselves. They will be able to "date themselves" and create the space to naturally attract loving and authentic relationships.

This is Tessler's private journal. The journal he used as a story outline when he penned his world famous Black Key Trilogy. The three-book set was semi-autobiographical by nature that closely followed the sexual awakening of a young Tessler as he grew into the man he'd become today. The journal entries were emotional and incredibly personal as Tessler chronicled his journey as an inexperienced innocent, to an intrigued intern, and out the other side as an able-bodied man with decidedly different tastes than those from before he first stepped through the doors of The Black Key Club.

Tessler guarded this journal and the secrets it held between the pages for years to protect himself from the possible judgment of others should the book ever be publicly exposed.

Now, he wants to share his journal with you – on his own terms – before someone tries to take that power away from him.

The Black Key Journal is a full-length erotic novel. It is a companion piece for “More Than My Words,” Book 3 in the Guarding The Gods Series. To better enjoy Tessler's journal, it is strongly suggested that you read Book 3 before you read this novel. There is a considerable amount of erotic content in this story with numerous adult MM sexual situations not meant for younger readers. Readers of 18+ is advised. This is a fictional journal written in first person from one point of view: Tessler's.

Domenico sank deeper into his chair, reading the same paragraph for the third time in a row. He was too tired for technical jargon tonight, but he’d made a promise to himself that he would finish the chapter. So he would. Even if Seth was slow-dancing with the bread dough in the kitchen and looked so tempting with the dusting of flour on his forearms.

The more distracted Domenico was, the more prominent every sound and movement around him seemed. He noticed the rain dripping outside, and the fly buzzing in the corner of the room. But then something else altogether caught Dom’s attention. He was pretty sure the closet had been closed, but its door was now slightly open.

Some might call it procrastinating, but he decided to improve the feng shui of his living room and walked up to the closet, shutting it loudly.

There. Nothing else to distract him. Except the rain. The fly. And Seth looking so beefy Domenico low-key fantasized about wrapping him in dough.

“Psst!” came from the cabinet, making Dom freeze.

But the stupor only lasted a few seconds, and he opened up the cabinet to find Mark sitting there with wide eyes.

“Has she left yet?” Mark whispered.

Domenico didn’t have to ask who Mark meant. He knew very well those twin brown eyes licked up Selena as if she were a popsicle every time they had the chance. “She has. Why are you back in the closet?”

Mark frowned. “Ha. Ha. Ha. So funny. There are much more serious matters going on right now.”

Domenico smirked. “Like what? Is she attending the UN summit?”

“More like she wants me to be her boyfriend. How am I supposed to know if I want that? Can’t things just… flow?” he asked in frustration and crawled out of the closet.

Laughter rose in Domenico’s chest. “Hey, Seth! Mark here doesn’t know if he wants to date Selena. This will be good.”

Mark threw his arms in the air. “My life is not a joke!”

Seth walked in from the kitchen with a big smile, rubbing his hands against his apron. “Haven’t you been going out for two months or something?”

“So? What if I agree but then change my mind. I don’t want to break her heart.”

Seth exchanged a meaningful glance with Domenico, biting back a smile. Mark’s problems were so inconsequential, they bordered on relaxing.

Domenico shrugged. He had enough experience for them all. “If you don’t know, then that ship has already sailed. There’s no point in chewing on bubblegum once it loses its flavor.”
