Woohoo! We’ve got a title, a cover, and a release date! The Queen of Terrified & The Newly Brave Landowner will be available as an ebook in the LAC bookstore on April 28th. That would be next Wednesday for all you calendrically-challenged ones, and a full moon to boot.
We are back, having survived a trip ten years back in time. The author has finished writing what most of you deem “how the nerd got the cheerleader.” She has rewrites to do, but hopefully in early May, it will be fit for public consumption. Then, we can pick up where we left off in LAC 11.
In the meantime, the first chapter follows…
Shit!
In my mind, the word possessed enough volume to put my every nerve ending on high alert.
I made another study of the paper I held, as though it would somehow alter the moment: Claudia Kitterman FBLL President 4:30 Thursday UG Student Union. The review did nothing.
I glanced to the tables again. At one, a young woman sat, totally absorbed in scrawling notes as she pored over a thick textbook. She did not look like the president of anything—including her own fan club. At another, two males conversed while they sorted and stacked their books and papers. They perhaps boasted some underdeveloped presidential qualities, but still, neither of them looked at all like a Claudia.
Then, my eyes traveled once more to the dreaded inevitability, my fate. In the far corner of the union, two small tables had been shoved together, and seven people gathered around, laughing, talking, completely oblivious to anyone but themselves. History told me they were the pretty people, the kind who made school a living hell, the kind who looked down their noses at me with utter disdain. Maybe they didn’t. They probably didn’t. But it always felt as though they did.
And now! Now, I had to walk to that table teeming with them and ask which one had an appointment with me. Shit! The sheer idea of that made me want to turn tail and run, stopping somewhere along the way to retch the swarm of butterflies from my stomach. Deep breath!
After a bit of stealthy scrutiny, I decided my meeting had to be with the short-haired blond. Yeah, she looked like a president … of something. Okay, maybe they all did.
A panicky peek at my watch informed me I was now four minutes late. I cleared my throat, braced myself, and trudged like a trooper to the table.
“Claudia Kitterman?” I croaked and immediately castigated myself for sounding as inept and as intimidated as I felt. The instantaneous wave of laughter from them did not help, and even though I knew it was probably nothing more than coincidence, heat overtook my face.
Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 10 will be officially released January 4 in ebook with paperback to follow shortly thereafter.
However…
After some tense negotiations with the powers that be and a fat man in a red sooty suit… The DWD (that’s us) get to pre-release the bugger to all those who have been waiting so impatiently for it (that’s you). Yep, the ebook will be released Wednesday morning in our bookstore. And to say Merry Christmas and thanks for loving us the way you do (blush), we’ve got a coupon that’ll get you the ebook at half price. Just enter “MerryHighFive” during checkout before the year ends, and viola, it’s a cheap Christmas with the DWD.
We really do appreciate you, and we hope you have a merry Christmas (or a damn good Friday if you don’t celebrate). And here’s to an incredible new year for all of us (hold the champagne for me, thanks).
Since Laura is a DWD, we’ll give her kudos for solving a rather nasty case in Corpse Call. Her 3rd mystery is out, and I must say, I learned a lot about her.
You’ll recognize me, Claudia’s beautiful face, and, of course, no McCallister moment would be complete without Holly. You’ll even get to find out what I was up to that caused a far too close visit from the abyss for Claudia and me.
If you’re a busybody like me or just happen to like lesbian mysteries, you’ll want to click that link in the left menu, *PDF Excerpts*, for a sample.
Spiders, Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 9 will be released on Saturday, July 11. The almighty publisher will have it in PDF, Mobipocket, and Microsoft Reader. Click here for the purchase page. DWD blog readers can use coupon code “08d24096a3” for a 20% discount, good through July 21.

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…
Cool! The ebook version of Lesbian Adventure Club: Book 8 has been released. You can find it here in PDF, Microsoft Reader, and a DRM-free Mobipocket.
And as a perk to DWD blog readers… Use coupon code b12ae090c0 during checkout, and they’ll hack 20% off the price. Not a bad deal at all. That’s enough to buy a cheap bad cup of coffee to keep your brain alert whilst you read the bugger.
Merry c-word to you all!
L-Word C-Word will be heading into the real world on April 7th. Yep, that is also a big day for the DWD. A whole year has passed since our author was smart enough to anoint me narrator.
So, mark your calendars. Get that DWD cap ready. Set a big kettle to boil for hot chocolate. This one is a long one. Adventure, romance, horror, suspense, humor, Ooga Booga … yep, the Lesbian Adventure Club modus operandi.
Oh, and yeah, there’s a two-chapter PDF excerpt now available. Click that link: PDF.
In the meantime, I’ll start whisper-screaming in our author’s head about when the hell Book 9 will be ready. (She hates that.) Holy shit, anybody who has lived with us in her head for a whole year deserves … um … um … psychotropic drugs?
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.
