Heh heh heh. Ellora's Cave have sent me the cover for my first story with them - In Appreciation of their Cox - and I can't help giggling every time I see it. It's shuffled up onto Page 2 of the Coming Soon Screen and is heading toward release on October 14th.
Here's the official blurb:
“Well, what we really need are small girls who are good at shouting and like hanging out with tall, muscular blokes.”
“Sign me up!”
And that was how I got into coxing.
Eight tall, muscular men straining every sinew, and one itty-bitty young woman urging them on with all her might.
Yes - eight men! I outdid myself, I must say. Eight men and a lot of filthy fun.
Oh yes - and I've got an Ellora's Cave author page! Yay! I intend to fill it with lovely goodies (and pink paddles) over the years to come.
But what I'm wondering is ... Why has nobody mentioned the pun in the title?
Joanna - !
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you called it that either, that's hilarious. Brass balls, Janine :)
Clang!
ReplyDelete(that's just the sound of me sitting down...)
I certainly smiled when I read the title!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a hot blurb/premise. It sounds relish-worthy (I quite just made that word up) and delightful—I'm looking forward to the release!
Congratulations!
Brass balls, Janine :)
ReplyDeleteAnd there's your title for the sequel (you know, where the protag manages an all-male trumpet and trombone orchestra that plays at formal dances).
Thank you Emerald!
ReplyDeleteAnd giggles for Jeremy's suggestion! But maybe, just maybe, eight is enough...
Now THAT is a cover. One a person could sink her teeth into. ; )
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteBiteable!
