All the novels listed are .99 cents for only this weekend!

They are all available here or you can click on the banner above to find some fun summer reading material!

Haunt of The Wilds eBook CoverThe wild will reign.

When Houndmaster De’vii and his pack take on a seemingly innocuous escort job, things quickly spiral out of control. Creatures straight from a death plane hide within the unfamiliar country and the people he’s supposed to rely on to help have their own darker motivations.

And then there’s De’vii’s alluring charge.

Caliebb Renaveri is harmless and quiet, yet also manages to stir the wild in every dog in De’vii’s pack. He can’t afford to allow the wildness to take over, nor can he abandon the job. But Caliebb is more than he appears and stronger than he seems and by the time De’vii realizes just how dangerous Caliebb truly is he stands to lose everything he holds dear: his mind, his life and his pack.

Warning: Sprite Blood is a continuation of Roan and Ari’s story that began in Strange Introductions. This piece could be read as a standalone, mostly, with only a few references making little sense if you haven’t read the first one.

Man Made Stone

Copyright © Emmi Lawrence
Mini (600)

He wore the marks well, specks of gray upon his skin. Like bruises from an old master, one of his own making. They grew in ever-spreading meandering patterns, leaving the distinct impression of shadows reaching through his skin. Sometimes I envisioned they reached for me.

His smile faded over time. Those lips I’d once touched with trembling fingers ceased curving when he saw me. The light in his eyes dimed as if reflecting the strange weight crushing his soul. I tried to stop that headlong dive he took, tried to remind him of the pleasures of the flesh, of the joy a beating heart could not contain when it found a kindred spirit.

He pushed me away, not unkindly, but painfully all the same.

His hand scraped like coarse granite, drawing a pinkness to my skin that ran in neat lines along my arm. The strength behind that jerky movement startled me. He’d never been so powerful, not even when I’d loosed control and let him lead me in all ways, carnal and otherwise. Continue reading →

Song For The Wilds eBook CoverToday’s the day!

Song for the Wilds is now available!

This novel is the conclusion of The Wilds Duology and is a fantasy adventure/gay romance story, heavy on the fantasy with plenty of mayhem and darkness abounding.

Normally I list six interesting facts about the novel being published, however, I already touched on anything remotely interesting for Haunt’s publication post and the things left I want to say could contain spoilers. I’ll save those tidbits for a future post.

For anyone who didn’t know, I have a lot of short free stories available to read on the bottom of The Wilds Duology page if you’re looking for more from the houndmaster world. I have no plans of removing any of them so check them out at your leisure.

Also, I’ve started work on a sequel trilogy! :) It will be featuring two different houndmasters, ruins, a missing sire and a botanist. Plus a trio of mages from Haunt will be taking advantage of their new-found freedom to jump aboard the fresh adventure train!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Since it is the holiday, I’m putting all my novellas on sale for only .99c through Christmas Day. (It might take a few hours for the sale to take effect, but it’ll be live all day the 25th.) If you celebrate, I hope you’re closer to being ready for tomorrow than I am!

Haunt of The Wilds eBook Cover Haunt of the Wilds is live!
The Wilds Duology: Book I
gay romance/adventure fantasy

It’s been a fun month leading up to today and I’ve published a lot of free fiction, but now it’s time for a few non-fiction facts about the book! These are more about the writing-of the novel rather than content :)

1. I wrote the beginning of Haunt back in 2012 and never meant to finish it.

About two days before NaNo that year my plan was to use Nov to finish up another novel I’d been stalled on for a few weeks. In order to jumpstart my creativity and get me back into writing order, I decided to just mess around with some free writing those two days prior to Nov 1st. So, I wrote what ended up being the first draft of De’vii’s part in chapter one.

Nov 1st came around and I just kept going on the new story. Fun fact: that other novel is still unfinished… Continue reading →

A-Z Wilds Duology Challenge, adventure fantasy, Fantasy, fantasy romance, Fiction, LGBT, Love, M/M, Novel, Romance, Test, Writing

A while ago I read a story done in the form of a test. Don’t remember the story at all, but I thought the idea was really neat, though obviously only for something quite short.

So for my very last A-Z Challenge post, I decided to give the idea a shot. So here is Zombified Past – a test taken by De’vii about his survival upon the Braken during the battle that erupted between wild and civilized houndmasters during the last Games. Have fun guessing what young De’vii did that day :)

ZOMBIFIED PAST : A TEST

QUESTIONS:

1. When the fight during the last Lo’fel Games began you…

a) joined your dam’s side since you’d grown up with wild blood dominating your veins.
b) tried to convince your sire to back down.
c) hid like a coward with one of your dam’s pups.
d) weren’t sure which side to join, so in confusion you snarled at anyone who came close.

2. The moment you realized something, other than houndmasters and dogs, was on that battleground you…

a) ran to your dam like the pup you were and tried to tell her.
b) searched for your sire, terrified because he wouldn’t respond to your shouts.
c) went to where the game officials were trying to evacuate the pup grounds to join your friends.
d) remained hidden, too scared to do anything but stare as the murky cloud rose, jerking the dead back to life. Continue reading →
