Memorial Weekend Festivity Ahead

Posted in Chatting, Dreamspinner Press at 2:29 pm by chrissymunder

There’s the obligatory festive boating, camping, grilling, and imbibing to be had – at least in my home state.

For those less fond of mosquito bites and sunburn, there’s the blow-out M/M posting over at Literary Nymphs Chat Yahoo Group all weekend long. So far over 30 authors have promised to be there, with more sure to show.

Sunday you can stop by Gay Day at Ethan Day’s Yahoo Group!

As well as visit the Talking Two Lips Yahoo Group and see what’s new with the Dreamspinner Authors.

That’s a busy weekend! I’ll be floating around in and amongst the various groups I promise. Just not sure when, where or what day. There is all that obligatory festive boating, camping, grilling and imbibing to take part in!

Mid May Updates & A Review for After the Storm

Posted in Chatting, Reviews at 12:04 pm by chrissymunder

Hey world! I lost about a week and a half there. How about you?

Right now I’m strongly resisting my rabid urges to redo my website instigated by you-know-who-you-are *wink*. I’m not overly enthused with the template choices though, which helps in the resisting.

The tulips are on their last, wind-blown legs, the iris are just about ready to bloom, and the poppy has 3 (!) blossoms on the way. Phlox are phloxing, the chocolate chip ajuga is a carpet of electric blue and mixing wonderfully with the beacon silver. *Happy sigh*

On the writing front (did you think I forgot?): After the Storm has received a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from Kassa over at Reviews by Jessewave.

After the Storm is totally unexpected and equally delightful. For those that didn’t read this offering first in the anthology, you’ll definitely want to get it now. The great characters, descriptive writing, clever ending, and above all really wonderful ambiance create an unforgettable story with a great twist. This story just solidifies Munder on my must-read book list.

That brought a smile to my face. Thank you very much, Kassa. I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed the story.

Coming in June will be a chat date with the ever-so festive Clare London. She was gracious enough to invite me along with some of her other friends to share, and it will be exciting to see what we all have to say. Really. I promise. I’ll post more info on that as I get a chance.

Cinco de Mayo & Clare London

What do they have in common? A reason to celebrate. Yes, it’s May 5th! Time for a margarita I do believe.

And, today is also the release day for Clare London’s New Novella Touch. Click on the link to read the description of this latest installment of hot and sultry from Ms. London.

Check out this cover:

Sounds like an excuse to party to me.

A few new Reviews to start the month

Posted in Reviews at 2:19 pm by chrissymunder

Not only a new week, but a new month as well!

I’ll start the Monday off with a few new reviews for Start From the Beginning.

4 Stars from Night Owl Reviews: Reading these characters’ interactions – from Drew trying to ignore Miles, to Miles having none of it in his own way – and the progression of how their thoughts change, to reading how those changing thoughts translate into actions made this a wonderful little novella.

and, a grade of Excellent from Jenre over at Well Read: It was all rather delightful and beautifully done, especially in some of the tender moments between the men and in the way that their feelings develop for one another..

In addition to the review itself, Jen and her commentors gave my work some quite unexpected praise that left me with a good dose of warm fuzzies for the rest of the weekend, and almost made up for my dentist appointment.

New as well, 4 Stars from Kassa, over at Jessewaves for the Curious Anthology. Including a mention of my short, Spontanteous.
