Midnight Showcase-Love comes in a variety of shapes, colors and heat. Enjoy the romance!
2007 Aug 09 We are so proud of all our authors in the Melange digest. What a wonderful accolade to garner four stars from Romantic Times. Considering this book contains an M/M romance we think this is a groundbreaking review as RT often does not recognise male/male stories as romance.
Go ahead and buy it to decide for yourself
Here is the review and below is some more info on the book.
4 stars
'The stories in this collection are well written and become
progressively more steamy. Each contains sensuous love-play combined
with another element such as comedy or paranormal components. (And
there are some same-sex and menage a trois scenes.) The original
plots are engaging, fully developed characters will keep you riveted
despite the brevity of the tail.'

Excerpt from Xandra 1-Daughter of The Dark Chapter One Alpha Colony Tom McClary opened his eyes, sat up in the dark and listened. Something awakened him. The night sounds were almost familiar now. The eerie calls of the swamp dwellers didn't seem so frightening anymore. He lay silent, staring at the dark ceiling of the shelter and let his eyes adjust to the darkness. Noticing the seam of light framing the entrance to the shelter, he realized that the door stood slightly ajar. Strange, he remembered closing it before they went to sleep. Quietly, so he wouldn't disturb his wife, he slipped from the mattress and walked to the door. About to close it, he heard a soft moaning sound from outside. Stepping into the night, he looked at the two moons shining brightly above, they were close together, almost touching. Soon they would part again, each going in a different direction. Again, he heard a soft moaning. It came from the small clearing on the other side of the thick brush that separated the sleeping quarters from the recreational area. They called it that because of the pond and the small stream of fresh water that flowed into it. Out of curiosity he walked around the cluster of shrubs, after a moment of hesitation he stepped back into the shadows. The bright light of the moons illuminated the slim naked female figure writhing on top of someone in the tall grass. Her face was upturned, and he recognized Orona, there was no mistaking her delicate oriental features. For a small woman she carried surprisingly large breasts, firm, conical shaped, with long nipples. Rotating her round buttocks with ever-increasing speed, she turned her face toward the moon, cried out softly. Then she stopped moving and sat quivering for a long time. Sighing, she lifted up. Excerpt Seeds of Chaos 1-Eden's Gate Chapter One She had emerald eyes. They sparkled with bright iridescent colors behind extremely long eyelashes. She was not human. Not even of human stock. The planet she came from so far away from the known sector of Human space that I never heard of it ... and she was the most beautiful creature I ever laid eyes on. She laughed as I rolled away from her, gasping for breath. I've been known to brag about my sexual prowess, but this female just put me through an endurance test, and she didn't even breathe hard. "You have good staying power," she said and moved on top of me. Her breasts were firm and round, jutting proudly from her solid ribcage. The long thick nipples brushed my lips as she lowered them into my face. I didn't see a navel on her flat belly. Even though she had thick, luxurious bluish-black hair that hung down past her shoulders, her pubic area was completely smooth, and bare of any growth. Two strong bulging muscles framed her vulva, and she knew how to use them. There seemed to be no bone in her body, the way she writhed under and above me for the last couple of hours. "I need a rest," I groaned and grabbed her undulating hips. Her pearly teeth gleamed white in the pale light of the two moons and her laughter bubbled from red lips. "I am far from finished," she breathed and touched her lips to mine. I felt the tiny pinprick in my lower lip as she gently bit down and fed the aphrodisiac from her tooth into my bloodstream, a natural product, which the females of her species produced inside a special gland. It gave a male tremendous stamina and induced almost unbearably high orgasms. Supposedly non-addictive, that's what she told me, but ever since I made love to her for the first time five days ago, I craved her body and nearness constantly. She had given herself to me completely. She even told me she loved me. How could I be sure? What did love really mean to her species? Before her, I hadn't even known women like her existed, not to mention the pleasure they could give. 2007 Aug 02 Midnight Showcase has launched a newsletter group.

So… Read on if you dare!Go here to preview this book http://www.lulu.com/browse/preview.php?fCID=481083 2007 Aug 02 Shadows In The Wind By Fiona Fowler The reality of Captain Barret Madison's illegitimacy has haunted him all his life. In an era of wooden ships with wind-inflated sails and iron men, he sets out to claim a family and redeem himself. Barret's quest will lead him down a trail of forbidden love, financial ruin, into the rip tide of a family in deadly trouble, and ultimately murder.Chapter OneOn the way to America! Finally, after years of pain, loneliness and degradation, I, Starr Reynolds, would soon marry the most handsome, kindly man in the world. It didn’t matter that this June morning of 1847 was cold and foggy, or that my gray, mended clothes were shabby. In a few short weeks, I’d be with Darcy, my own special Darcy Pod. We’d marry immediately and live happily ever after, of that I had no doubt even as I stood crowded on England’s Portsmouth dock among people looking as poor as myself. Shortly, clutching our meager belongings we boarded a twenty foot, weather-bitten craft my fellow passengers referred to as longboats, the bottoms of which held a couple of inches of water that leaked through their deteriorating hulls. We were rowed by a pair of stubble-faced sailors, who looked and smelled as if they’d spent their last hours ashore in the local tavern, to a ship waiting at anchor a distance offshore. In spite of the cramped conditions and the dreariness of the day, I felt no sense of loss at leaving the austere edifices and backbreaking work England epitomized in my mind. Instead, I thought joyously of beautiful, green America, which Darcy described glowingly in his letters, and of being reunited with the most wonderful young man in the world. My daydreaming stopped short as the smaller craft bumped against the ship. I glimpsed her name on the bow. The Stella Maris. She looked an elegant craft, freshly painted a gleaming black with a ribbon of white midway up her sides, one of the finest ocean-going vessels about the Portsmouth docks that day. I felt my heartbeat quicken, my breathing become shallow as I prepared to embark on the greatest adventure of my life. I wondered why such a majestic ship would be used to transport lowly immigrants when British manufactured products would be a much cleaner and more profitable cargo. Any further speculation on the matter ceased when I was abruptly shoved along by one of the sailors who’d rowed us out to the vessel and told to get aboard ‘smart and proper or be left behind.’ Having no desire to miss my one chance to America, I scrambled hastily up the dropped rope ladder lying against the Stella Maris’ sleek side, not pausing to worry that my shabby dress might be affording the sailors and passengers below a view of my ragged undergarments. I didn’t care. If this was part of the price I had to pay to get to America, I would gladly do it. As I reached the rail, a big, grubby hand reached out to propel me over her bulwarks. As I stumbled onto the cleanly swabbed deck, my boot caught in the hem of my cloak. I pitched forward and would have fallen had not a pair of strong hands caught me and steadied me on my feet. “Careful, young woman,” a male voice, heavily iced with annoyance, ordered. “If you persist in stumbling about the deck, you’ll soon find yourself in the water. And this ship cannot turn about for anyone foolish enough to fall overboard.” I looked up into eyes as gray and cold as hoarfrost. A tall man, over six feet I reckoned, with coal black, curling hair and a face most women would find breathtakingly handsome, glared down at me. Broad shoulders towered over a body, muscularly lean and lithe as an athlete’s. He wore well-fitted tan breeches with gleaming knee-high boots, a white linen shirt and brown leather jerkin. His caustic remarks, however, instantly clouded over his physical attractiveness. I angrily drew myself up to face him. “Thank you, sir,” I snapped, freeing myself from his hands with a swift, impatient shrug. “I wouldn’t think of falling overboard. I might foul the wake!” “Sharp-tongued little wench, aren’t you?” he said as embarking passengers glanced furtively at the stranger and me. “And quite alone, I see. Luckily no poor, innocent man has yet fallen into your gentle clutches.” The last words reeked of sarcasm. “I’m on my way to be married, sir,” I retorted. “My fiancé is a fine gentleman who knows how to speak to a lady. You could take few lessons from him, Mr…” “Captain,” he corrected. “Captain Barret Madison, master of this vessel. Mr. MacIntosh,” he called out before I could recover from my surprise. “Take this sweet young thing below and show her the steerage quarters. Perhaps after a couple of weeks under the deck, she’ll be less likely to spew insults at her captain.” “Aye, sir.” A burly seaman seized my arm and jerked me toward an open hatch through which rag-tags like myself descended to the bowels of the great ship. I glanced back at him as he stood against the boom of the mighty vessel. In the fog, his silhouette looked commanding and virile before the framework of lofty masts and rigging. Then MacIntosh pushed me into the darkness of the hold. Buy at Lulu in print or e-book http://www.lulu.com/content/733792 2007 Jul 25 The first of the Midnight Raunch line.
