Story Updates, Reissues, Orphaned Stories

Okay so not that much to report. Perfect Man comes out next week, which is a reissue of my story with EC. Then in June Trust and Another Chance, two more EC stories make their appearance with JMS Books. I am glad these three stories will get to see the light of day again considering the disastrous conclusion at EC where I went many months without payment for sales of them. The covers for two of the stories appear there on the left.

Loose ID is now history and with that house closing I now have several more orphaned stories. At Long Last, Car Wash and Most Likely to Succeed have all been orphaned for the second time. Also, The Crush Revisted, California Dreaming, and One More Time too. I'll be looking in to what to do with all those stories. 

In the meantime I am working on a new story that I expect to submit for a sub call later this summer. I am hoping to get a few more stories done too. New ones. Old reissues are nice. But new material would be nice too.

That's about it for me. I'll check in later in the summer.

The Crush Revisited Now Available from Loose ID

Tim Olfander escapes his busy, hectic life in LA at his ten year high school reunion in the city he left behind years ago, Lincoln Hill. There, at the resort the reunion has booked, his gaze falls almost instantly on the sexy, pretty guy behind the check-in counter. He chats up the guy only to learn he is the assistant manager, Brandon Collins.

Tim instantly sets in motion his plan to spend the week at the resort with Brandon's sweet body under his. He has no clue Brandon knows him from their high school days.

Back then, Brandon was a shy, closeted nerd who had a big crush on Tim, following him around at school. Now it seems fate has thrown Brandon's former crush at him in the form of the now hotter than ever Tim, who also seems to have sex with Brandon on the brain. Brandon gives into his baser needs, not to mention his old fantasies, for a week long smoldering affair with the crush he never dreamed he'd revisit.

Quick Update and Mini-Contest

It's time for an update for anyone possibly paying attention.

I'm hard at work on edits for The Crush Revisited coming soon from Loose Id.  I'll update the blog when I have a release date, but my best guess is late summer. My best guess could be wrong! This my longest Shawn Lane book yet coming in around 34,000 words or so.

I also don't have a release date yet for Burning Love coming from Evernight Publishing but I do know it should in in June.  Once I've gone through my edits, I should be returning to work on Arresting Love which is a companion story of sorts to Burning Love.

I have lots to do later this year too including writing Lincoln Hill Book #2 (related to The Crush Revisted).

In the meantime, I've decided to do a mini-contest. Just so no one forgets I'm still here. Take a look at my website at www.authorshawnlane.com. You can find my book list of available titles there (please note one title, Beyond the Norm, is not available at this time). I'll give a free copy of any of my available ebooks to the first 5 people who email me at authorshawnlane@gmail.com with their format choice. The contest ends Thursday, May 23, at Midnight Pacfic time or when I announce that all the winners have received books, so get me that email soon.

Coming Soon Stories

As you will see from the sidebar over there I have two coming soon books. The Crush Revisited (Lincoln Hill #1) from Loose Id (date to be determined) and Burning Love from Evernight Publishing (date to be determined).

While I await edits for both of the contracted stories, I am currently hard at work on the next Lincoln Hill story, The Secret Revealed, and Arresting Love, which is the next story after Burning Love.

I'll post updates as I have them.
