Cover reveal for My Zombie Boyfriend by T Strange


Today, we are welcoming author, T Strange to FB3X for the cover reveal of her upcoming romance novel, My Zombie Boyfriend. This paranormal romance is being released on 15th April 2015, so, check out the book details, a sneak peak, and, of course, the great cover below.

Congratulations on your first full-length novel, T!

Title: My Zombie Boyfriend
Author: T. Strange
Publisher: Torquere Press
Length: 64, 000 words (Novel)
Genres: Romance, Paranormal, Contemporary, M/M
Release Date: April 15th, 2015

Edward Grey is a medical student by day, necromancer by night. He lives alone with the first zombie he ever raised, his childhood cat, Boo. Edward’s life is simple: studying medicine, training his necromantic powers with his mentor, Mariel, and having weekly dinners with his parents. When he finds a very attractive corpse in a park and brings it home to reanimate, he creates a sassy, free-willed zombie who believes Edward is the one who murdered him.

With no memory of his former life, Edward names the zombie Kit and tries to win his trust. Kit slowly adjusts to his new un-life with Edward’s help, though he’s still suspicious of Edward’s role in his death and is convinced that Edward is hiding his former identity. Edward is very attracted to Kit, but understands why Kit doesn’t trust him. As they become closer to one another, Kit turns to Edward for comfort and love. The fragile trust they’ve built together will be tested when Kit unexpectedly regains his memory and seeks revenge on his murderers.

Excerpt:
Shopping with Kit was a nightmare.

I expect my clothes to cover publicly unacceptable bits, keep me warm, and protect me from the environment. That’s about all I require of them.

No. Kit was into Fashion. With a capital F. He looked at racks of shirts that, color aside, all seemed identical to me. He kept staring at the labels.

I got more than a little impatient. It had been a long day. Not to mention my long night raising the temperamental dead. “Kit,” I groaned, “money is not an issue. Just pick whatever you want and I’ll buy it for you. I literally do not care how much it costs.”

Kit’s mouth fell open in a perfect, sexy ‘O’ of exaggerated horror. “You think I’m looking at the prices? Oh, Edward. That’s so cute.”

He thought I was cute? I knew he was teasing me, but I still liked hearing him say it.

My headache was back. This seemed to be a trend with Kit around. If he wasn’t looking at the prices, what was taking him so long? I took a deep, soothing breath. On the plus side, Kit had obviously relaxed since being out in public. I had heard of retail therapy but never before witnessed its effect. He was practically glowing as he chattered on about the relative merits of this and that brand, designer and logo. It was a soothing wash of words that meant absolutely nothing to me, so I nodded, smiled, and tried not to focus on how pretty his mouth was, the way his hands seemed to hang in the air when he spoke, how amazing his hair looked even in the terrible mall lighting.

It was a good thing he was so pretty, or I probably would have killed him and left. It would be so easy, too. One word and he would collapse, his reanimated essence disappearing while I walked out of the store and back into my nice, normal medical student/necromancer life.

“Hello? Earth to Edward. I’m ready.” He thrust a very large bundle of clothes into my arms and stood there, all but tapping his foot. He smiled and said, “Oh, yes. We still have to get shoes.”

This post is suitable for all.

Fantasy Boys XXX Drabble Cascade


Welcome to FB3X Drabble Cascade #46 - This week's word of the week is: 'hope'.

The Way A Cascade Works

it's really very simple, be inspired by our word of the week and just write :).

To see this week's entries check out the list at the bottom of this post. We put it behind a cut so it doesn't clog up your scrolling.

A drabble is a work of 100 words exactly. Flash fiction is a work of up to 500 words. Both may be submitted to the cascade.

To those struck by inspiration (and no you don't have to be a professional writer to join in, anyone can embrace their inner author):
  • Below you will find a chance to join in the cascade in the form of a linked list
    • Write a drabble/flash fiction inspired by the word of the week.
    • Post the fiction to your own blog, or website 
    • Then insert a link into the linked list to that drabble/flash fiction for everyone to find (A hint of the genre of your drabble in the title of your post would be appreciated.)
    • To encourage your friends to join in and hence cascade the fun, you can also add the list into your own post by clicking on the chain-link icon and copying the code:).
For folks who enjoy reading drabbles/flash fiction: you can then peruse the cascade to your heart's content :).

So What Can You Write?
The simple answer is - anything! Our work here on FB3X will be erotically themed. but feel free to take the inspiration any way you want to, fiction, fanfiction, non-fiction, meta, since variety is the spice of life! 

~


List.ly is slightly different from other lists, like Simply Linked, rather than supplying your email address, the first time you add an item to the Drabble Cascade list, you'll be asked to create a user on list.ly, which will then allow you to edit any list item you create on any list.ly list thereafter. 

If you really, really don't want to create a list.ly user, then we can add your link for you, just add a comment with the url of your drabble to this post.

FB3X Drabble Cascade #32 - word of the week is 'cage'

This post is suitable for all.

Fantasy Boys XXX Drabble Cascade



The Way A Cascade Works

Our word of the week prompt is 'cage'. We chose the word this week rather than picking it randomly because we are horrified by what Kobo and WHSmiths have done to independent authors just because their screening procedures seem to have been inadequate. If you don't know they have "quarantined" all self-pub books on their site so they no longer show up in searches and even if you can find them you can't buy them because the Daily Mail made a fuss about some porn they found. So basically they have punished every self-pub for their own lack of screening in letting books they don't want associated with their site onto their site.

In happier news, congrats to Charisstoma on winning the free eBook from our last Drabble Cascade. Dear Charis, there is an message winging it's way to you so you can pick which on you would like.

This post is suitable for all.
Fantasy Boys XXX Drabble Cascade



Drabbles, little pieces of imagination made up of exactly 100 words, are fun. Drabbles are also a challenge that we at FB3X have found really help hone our writerly command of language, focusing us on using words with precision, and we'd love to share the joys of this art form with everyone who'd like to play.

Whether you just enjoy reading drabbles, or you want to join in with writing them, read on and join in the adventure!
