Synopsis:
A weekend away at a convention is exactly what overworked student Morgan needs. Dressed as her character from her favorite online game, Morgan is braced—seriously, could her corset be tighter?—to meet the other players. As Lady Gyrfalcon, she’s ready for everything—except her intense attraction to Dean. A clandestine meeting in the hallway of the hotel and Morgan’s corset is looser but now she can’t breathe for entirely different reasons.

Utterly charmed, Morgan decides to roll the dice and indulge in a fantasy-worthy weekend of sexy roleplaying, scorching sex and life-altering orgasms. Still, through it all Morgan is too smart to believe the chemistry constantly stripping her of costumes and control can last more than the length of the convention. But if she wants to keep a relationship so intense she thought it only existed in fiction, she’s going to have to let go of her cool-headed logic and allow herself to fall far and fast for the perfect guy.

~Guest Post!~

There are so many stories inside of me. Infinite tales that sometimes make my head feel like it's going to explode. These stories do not stick to one genre. And as an author, I revel in the freedom of writing whatever has inspired me at the moment.

Most authors do tend to stick to one genre. If they find something they're good at, that's wonderful. Go with what you love. But there are others who branch out to various genres. It's a bold move and not always viewed favorably.

Loose Corset is the first book of my Dice & Debauchery series. It's also my first contemporary erotic romance. Usually I write dark and gritty urban fantasy and paranormal romance. On top of that, I have horror, science-fiction, and speculative fiction stories published. None of them at all like Loose Corset.

When I first decided to query the series, I debated using a pen name. I eventually decided against it. I've spent a long time developing “Christine Rains” as a brand. I couldn't imagine spending all that time again building a new persona, and then marketing both.

I believe that most of my readers will like Loose Corset. It's another aspect of who I am. There's romance and geeky humor. You'll see that in all my books. My audience already knows I'm a huge geek and a romantic. I understand that not everyone will want to read my erotic work. It's a matter of individual taste, and I don't take it personally.

This could be a bad move for me. My readers might feel betrayed that I wrote something different. They could turn their backs on me and never buy another one of my books.

Or writing different genres could be a great move. It could help expand my audience and introduce my readers to a genre they might not have tried otherwise. It shows my flexibility and helps me grow as a writer.

As long as I put the best stories I can write out there, I shouldn't have anything to fear. Writing in various genres is the only way I'm going to get all those tales out of my head. It wouldn't be a pretty sight if it did explode!

What is your opinion about the multiple genre problem?

Geek girl problem #44: You have no will power to resist a guy who looks like one of your literary crushes.

When I got back to the hotel and the elevator opened on my floor, I felt better than I had all day. I was smiling as I turned the corner toward my room and nearly tripped over my feet when I spotted Dean standing beside the room door.

Leaning against the wall, he had one black-booted foot against it. His jeans were frayed at the knees and his black t-shirt featured a Harry Potter quote that was quite appropriate for what had happened last night. He could be a young Sirius Black. Desire shot through my body.

Frak! No, no, no.

How did he know where I was staying? And why was he here and not playing D&D with the others?

Emily. Dammit.

I wanted to flee. My heart pounded against my ribcage. I forced herself to walk toward him. I just had to be polite and state how tired I was. If he was any bit a gentleman, he’d leave me be.

Dean turned his head and smiled. “Hi.”
