Heroes & Villains
Genre: mm, superhero, urban fantasy
Word count: 135,000
Blurb: All Vereint ever wanted was to be a superhero, to fight alongside the other great heroes of the city and beat down the villains that plague them. There’s just one problem: he sucks at it, at least according to the other heroes and the majority of the city. Instead of the greatness and glory of which he dreamed, Vereint spends his days alone, exhausted, and depressed.
When the mockery and derision finally go too far, Vereint decides he’s reached his limit. If he’s never going to be good enough to succeed as the hero Starburst, maybe it’s time to try the role of villain instead…
Allies & Enemies
Genre: mm, superhero, urban fantasy
Word count: 130,000
Blurb: In the wake of the death of the Fabulous Kims, Vereint cannot forget Melissa, the little girl they left behind, a girl that now has no family. Certain he and Warrick can be the family she needs, he pushes to adopt her. That she proves to have superpowers only confirms he’s right. Melissa is their darling daughter by day, and by night she trains to become Blue Devil, sidekick to Blue Ice.
Then the unthinkable happens, destroying the happiness Vereint and Warrick worked so hard to build — a tragedy so great that the long-vanished Darkstar returns with murderous intent…
Rocking Hard: Volume 1
Genre: anthology
Word count: 104,000
Blurb: Less Than Three Press presents the first of three volumes of amazing stories along the theme of rock ‘n roll. Authors familiar and new combine for a collection of stories all about music and love.
Centrifical | Sol Crafter
Marty Sheer, one of the stars of a B-rated sci-fi show “Centrifical,” receives a phone call letting him know that his old friend Jim Sheppard, who left years ago and has since become an acclaimed rock star, has bought a new home close by. Renewing their friendships is easy—becoming something more is a challenge that makes fame look easy.
Fringe Benefits | Diana Sheridan
Depressed after the death of his lover, and having lost his job at the same time, Dale distracts himself by going to see one of his favorite rockers. But a simple concert and trip backstage lands him an unexpected job as her new assistant, and brings him into the path of her intriguing, appealing make-up artist and hair dresser, Luis. But if there’s one thing that Dale has learned, it’s that life is never easy and love doesn’t always last.
Courage Wolf Never Sings the Gorram Blues | Talya Andor
Bailey Kravitz, lead singer of Courage Wolf, is a high-strung, perfectionist diva of a front man. Gunner Lansing, bassist of Courage Wolf, is a laid-back, hang loose ladies’ man who is only serious about guitars and sex. They say opposites attract, but Bailey’s terminal crush on oblivious Gunner is tearing the band apart. Meanwhile, his longtime friend, quiet but intense guitarist Tor Macleod, helps him pick up the pieces yet again. Between annihilating everything they’ve built and reeling from total rejection, there may be a third option Bailey has been overlooking all this time. Problem is, Bailey’s always been more than a little difficult when he’s out to get his way, and that may ruin his prospects after all.
Put You In a Song | Lacie J. Archer
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.
A Haunted Melody | Angel Propps
A decades old tragedy, an old guitar, and a bright new star… A struggling musician on the verge of losing her band, Kara spies a guitar in a pawn shop that she can’t resist. One year later she’s on the verge of fame, and meets a woman who not only can help her get there, but introduces Kara to an intriguing, beautiful woman… But bad history is coming back to haunt, and Kara stands to lose not just fame and love, but her life.
Now’s a great time to stock up on your favorite Less Than Three books.
Music Video Monday
Post thumbnailHere we are again, bringing the music videos you didn’t know you wanted to see.
“The Hillywood Show: Pirates of the Caribbean Parody” – Very upbeat and fun. “If I had you…”
“The Hillywood Show: The Walking Dead Parody” – It’s new and wonderful and you’re missing out if you don’t watch it. “Another one bites the dust.”
“Melissa Ethridge: Come to My Window” – ‘Come to my window. Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon. Come to my window. I’ll be home soon.’ Featuring the ever charming Juliette Lewis. Why? Because suck it, this is still a good video.
“Alannah Myles: Black Velvet” – Look at those eyebrows. What?
“Frozen: Let It Go Sing-along” – ‘The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I’m the queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried. Don’t let them in. Don’t let them see. Be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know. Well, now they know. Let it go! Let it go! Can’t hold me back anymore. Let it go! Let it go! Turn away and slam the door. I don’t care what they’re going to say. Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway.’
“Paint: Boy Brand” – ‘You’re insecure. Feel like a bore. I’ve got a hunch we know what you’ll adore.’ ‘Your mom. Your mom. Your mom. Your mom.’ Lol.
I love the “After Ever After” videos to ridiculous degrees. Seriously, they make me super happy.
“Paint: After Ever After” – Disney parody. “Thank you BP.” Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, and Pocahontas.
“Paint: After Ever After 2” – Disney parody. Mulan, Cinderella, Tiana, and Elsa.
“Anastasia: Once Upon a December” – This movie was (and is) beautiful.

“Fievel: Somewhere Out There” – ‘Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight. Someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight.’
“The Hillywood Show: LoTR Let It Go Parody” – Lord of the Rings and Frozen’s “Let It Go” in one video? What’s not to love? ‘What are you waiting for? Just let it go!’
Hope you enjoyed.
See you next Monday! (Maybe.)

I realize that it looks like crap, and that for some reason it’s showing up as HTML code in the front page excerpt, but I also know that I’m teaching this to myself and I’m doing pretty okay.
