Two days early
Well, Pepper and I had a surprise today. Our BDSM book with Amber Quill, Master of Obsidian, was supposed to be released on Tuesday. That's what we were told. That's what we were prepared for.
Guess what?
They brought it out today.
To refresh your memory...
Jesse Madding has been working for Gideon, a vampire fighting to maintain the balance between good and evil, for two years, and has loved him for nearly that long. When Gideon slams him against an alley wall and demands sex, Jesse is too happy to oblige, but it opens doors in their relationship that Gideon isn't sure he wants to enter. Especially since he suspects he was under the powerful influence of an unknown substance, and Jesse is his best friend.
As they try to negotiate a new relationship involving Jesse’s willing submission to Gideon’s darker desires-including bondage, pain, and bloodplay-they learn that a new drug is being distributed in the city. Known simply as "obsidian," this drug unleashes a vampire's demon, destroying any sense of self-control. Widespread use of obsidian could bring chaos to Chicago and turn the city into a bloodbath, but even as Jesse and Gideon race to contain it, they're consumed and distracted by their own growing passion and burgeoning emotions...
This is nothing like my Spuffy fic, in case people were wondering. This is hardcore BDSM. Gay vampire BDSM. Hardcore enough, that we got this warning slapped onto our book:
Advisory: This book contains graphic violence, hardcore bondage and punishment, torture and blood play. May not be suitable for the more sensitive reader.
We got this warning *after* we took out a chapter with daddy!kink in it. And we checked. Ours is the only title we could find in Amber Quill's catalog that has that warning on it. Looks like we're unique. ;)
Anyway, Pepper has posted the first chapter on her LJ for those who might be curious by the blurb. Or the warning. Or both. And yes, she's completely serious about that chapter being one of the tamer ones in the book. I did mention it's hardcore, right?
