Take two on being back ^^;

Once again, my apologies for falling off the face of the internet. XP I've been suffering from 'over work' with my day job (retail is hell), and some irritating writer's block; but, I think I've broken through the evil writer's block, and as for the retail hell, well, what'cha going to do about it save the best you can?

On the writing front, I've got two new stories out; one free read, and one that's part of a serial anthology.

Free read

Written as part of Goodreads M/M Romance's summer 'Love Has No Boundaries' event.  The story can either be read over on the group's site, here; or, for those who aren't members, you can download it over here.

PHOTO DESCRIPTION:
A naked, tattooed man stands under a shower head, looking over his shoulder.

STORY LETTER:
Dear Author,

Oh shit… he must have heard me! But can you blame me for perving a little here? Who’d have thought that my boss was hiding that ink and perfect ass under his tight buttoned, prim and proper suit! Talk about a dream come true. Now if only the other vibes I’ve been getting from him are true…

Sincerely,

Shaz
STORY INFO:
Genre: contemporary
Tags: lust, boss/employee, mutual masturbation, fluff, men with children, tattoos, piercings

Serial read

Also available for online reading pleasure is my addition to LT3's 'Rocking Hard' serial anthology, 'Put You in a Song'.  I've never done a serial story before, unless you count my fanfiction writing sprees XD.  

Ten months ago, on a whirlwind New Year's Eve, Garrett and Rich enjoyed a wild night together. Back in town for the final performance of his band's tour, Rich can't wait to see Garrett again, unable to forget him. But a wild night and a lifetime are two different things, and the first real challenge they face may be more than their fragile new relationship can take.

Head on over to LT3's site to read part one, and the other stories in the volume. :3

The Alighieri

Apparently when I said next week what I really meant was today...sorry to be misleading and all. XD

Now up on Smashwords:

The Alighieri

Desperate to escape his demon of a step-father's control, Ivan accepts a temporary job as a runner for the annual Samhain Convention at The Alighieri; the only first-class resort in Hell. 

~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the current holidays, but I didn't feel like holding onto it until next October.  So nya, you get a free 2.5K short set at a resort in Hell.

Enjoy!
