And we cap off the first week with an interview with Anita Cox!

Interview and Book Tour Rite of Summer by @tessbowery

Another excerpt, as we get closer to release day! This one is dedicated to Ashley E, who likes excerpts. <3 (It’s also NC-17, so let’s throw it behind a cut for propriety’s sake.)

Here there be dicks.

Two interviews, two more chances to enter in the draw for a $20 amazon gift certificate!

A post on writing tips over at Jacey Holbrand: https://jaceyholbrand.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/desire-twisting-its-way-up-historical-gay-romance-tessbowery-goddessfish/

And another semi-candid interview at Hearts on Fire Reviews: http://heartsonfirereviews.com/tess-bowery-rite-of-summer-interview-and-contest/

Come comment, ask me questions, make me answer weird things in a public forum!

Today I’m over at The Reading Addict.

There’s a guest post from me at the top about how I got into the industry, and a nice and meaty review at the bottom. (As long as each reviewer docks me points for a different thing, I’m probably doing okay.)

The Reading Addict gives Rite of Summer 4 of 5 stars! “[T]he contrast between wickedly carnal intimacies and staid bucolic pursuits in the country was deftly presented.”

“Wickedly carnal.” I like that.

Stop the first: A fun interview with Kristabel Reed of Curvy Girl Tales! Learn some more behind the scenes stories about my writing process and research, and take the chance to ask me embarrassing questions in public.

Join me this morning on Sharing Links and Wisdom for a Q&A! (as well as a chance to win a $20 Amazon gift certificate. Sweet!)

A little bit of a teaser! I have to keep the excerpts on other sites to a PG-13 level, but this website is mine, and I do what I like. (mua ha ha). This scene takes place on one of the first nights after the guests arrive for the house party. Joshua can’t sleep, his mind fixated on his crush on Stephen Ashbrook, and he goes exploring instead. He finds quite a bit more than he bargained for.
