Did I just accidentally steal that?

There I was, hanging out at the author’s desk, waiting, waiting, waiting. Bored, I started snooping. Curdling lattes. Reading glasses. Bottle caps. My biography. Antacids. (No connection to the biography, I’m sure.) Oh, what’s this? First-draft first chapter of Lesbian Adventure Club Book 9! Holy shit, the mother lode! … Hmm, tentatively titled Spiders. That’ll do. That’ll do. It had to be an S-word, and a mighty fine one it is.

It’s not really stealing if it has your name on it, is it? Nah!

 

Chapter 1

What the hell?

"Oh, for Christ’s sake!"

"Holy shit! Holy frickin’ shit!"

Claudia shoved the car into park, and we just stared at it.

It was a Lesbian Adventure Club weekend. Those were generally good things, splendid things, but when our hostesses were none other than Holly and Laura, apprehension tended to overwhelm the usual excitement. Sitting in front of their house on a subzero January morning, I realized not one iota of that apprehension had been wasted. Oh, hell no.

With my jaw hanging, I looked to Claudia and found her in the same state of shock. My head turned back to the front of their house just to see it once more. I figured that maybe if I blinked it would not be there upon the eyelid grand opening. Three times, I tried. Three times, I failed.

LAC Book 9

Okay, my whisper-screams in the author ear have proven successful. Go me! Roz has a chunk of the ninth book done, but I don’t think we’ll see it that soon. Laura has been bitching to get her third mystery done, and I think she may have Roz handcuffed to her keyboard. When she finishes, I’ll see if maybe Laura will loan me the handcuffs. 😉

In the meantime… Note that Holly and Laura are up as hostesses in LAC 9. The idea of that will most certainly give you nightmares. Remember their horror in Leakers Ignited when they learned that no one—save them, Mrs. & Mrs. PDA—kept their pants on during their last weekend, Loose Sleuths? Uh oh! 😮

Will the artist and the detective use their weekend to exact revenge yet again?

Will the LAC keep their pants on this time? (I vote “no,” but I’m a big talker.)

Will the eight of them survive?

Could this be the veritable end of the DWD? (Nah, I’m just being mellow-dramatic.)

Stay tuned…

Lesbian Adventure Club Book 8

Book 8 of our madcap adventures is in the pipe. Smoke it. Flush it. Play it. Or wait for its release sometime in April.

It is entitled, L-Word C-Word, and it is a Maggie and Susan weekend. If you’ve read Savages, book 3, you know what they are capable of doing to us, and trust me, they did not disappoint. I will get sample chapters up as soon as I get the blessed go-ahead.

Blurb: Christmas comes to the Lesbian Adventure Club. But don’t expect ladies dancing or maids a-milking. No, try hookers, cookers, bridge trolls, and keepers of the place to pee. After all, it is July.

5-Star Review of Leakers Ignited

There’s a review up on Rainbow Reviews for Leakers Ignited, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 6. Before I share the review, though, let’s do a little review of our own, shall we?

Leakers Ignited involved a Ginny and Kris event. They decided to mess with us and make everything backwards. Then Roz decides that since Ginny and Kris did the adventure backwards: Why the hell not write the whole frickin’ book backwards? Then along comes the book reviewer. What the hell does the reviewer do? You guessed it. She writes the frickin’ review backwards! Holy shit! Holy frickin’ shit! When the powers-that-be start acting like this, we are back to talking about rips in the fabric of reality!

I know. I know. If we could bring the reviewer into our DWD world, we’d probably high-five the crap out of her … not only for the nonexistent balls to take a dare, but for those twinkling five stars she tacked on as well. And… Pay special attention to her admission of having “a special place in [her] heart” for Claudia and me. Pitter patter. Pitter patter. But what the hell have I ever done that would make her think I have quirks? My handy dandy dictionary says a quirk is a “peculiar behavioral habit.” Me? I’m seriously thinking maybe she got me confused with that b-word of a Laura.

Anyway… Here’s the review…

The author notes from the beginning that she is making this book an adventure for the reader as well as the member of the Dykes Who Dare. You may mimic Kate with her patented “What the hell?” when you learn that the book is written backwards. Seriously. It starts with Chapter 10 and ends with Chapter 1. It is written in the same vein as the rest of the series, just is presented a tad bit differently. If you aren’t up for the challenge, and are in fact a “leaker”, the Forward Version is included as well. My friends ~ take the dare. Embrace the nature of the Lesbian Adventure Club: “to mess with and to be messed with.” Enjoy the story as intended: backwards. And to celebrate this cunning storytelling technique, I am jumping off the pier too. My review is written backwards. Starts with the end and ends with the start. Enjoy it. I “D Double D dare you” to!

DWD News for the Nosey

Scraps, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 7 will be released on February 2. That would be Groundhog Day, and with its release from the manuscript black hole, it portends a mere two more weeks of winter. It could happen. We could do it! There are many perks to living in a fictional world.

February 2… That’s two weeks, people, so quit your bitching about not knowing what happened to Claudia and me! Going through it seemed like an eternity to me, so buck up! Or we’ll have Laura arrest you.

And… You can now get autographed copies of the LAC paperbacks over on Roz’ site. Why the hell they’re signed by her and not by me… That is a damn good question!

And… We’ve added Leakers Ignited and Scraps to the poll down in the menu to your left. I know. I know. To pick Scraps as your favorite before its release would be like … um … a foretelling groundhog. So wait two weeks! In the meantime, there’s another poll there about whether you leaked out with Leakers Ignited or not.

Lesbian Adventure Club Book 7

Way cool, the next book, Scraps, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 7, is written and will probably be released in February. Follow the link by those hot women up top the page for two sample chapters. You can also download a two-chapter PDF sample by clicking the following link: PDF.

Blurb: It’s happened before: things not going quite as planned. But what would happen if there weren’t a plan at all? Thanks to hostesses Kate and Claudia, the crew is about to find out.

I’m not too sure “Thanks to hostesses Kate and Claudia” is what I would have put. Claudia and I will go down in DWD history as the worst hostesses ever. Argh! Then again, it’s probably no worse than what some others have to live down. Still…

Leakers Ignited Released

Leakers Ignited, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 6 was released today. Get it here before the electronic ink dries! It’s available in PDF, Microsoft Reader, and Mobipocket. It should be in paperback soon.

As for our dear author… I think perhaps Ginny and Kris got to her, wore her down. Maybe Ginny intimidated the crap out of her. Something! They said everything was backwards, and apparently Roz thought that meant the entire book, too. Meds, I think she needs meds.

Use the link at the top of the page to read an excerpt, or use the following link for a snazzy PDF sample: PDF Download.

Lesbian Adventure Club Book 6

Well halle-frickin’-lujah! Book 6 has come to life! Its title is Leakers Ignited, and its cover is below. If all goes well, it should be out by month’s end.

This meeting belonged to Ginny and Kris. It’s kind of full circle for us, as Scavengers, book one, started at their house. My how we’ve grown! And if you remember from Sisters, some of us asked for another scavenger hunt, but Ginny pooh-poohed the idea. They came awfully close, though. If only they hadn’t done it backwards. 🙁

I will get sample chapters online as soon as the powers-that-be make them available. And thanks to all of you who nagged the crap out of Roz about where the hell book 6 was. I kept asking and didn’t get an answer! Apparently you all have more clout than me. She even put Laura’s third mystery on hold to finish this up for us. What could possibly be more important than keeping the Lesbian Adventure Club and its readers happy. What? Just what?
