MAY 2008 ~ NEWSLETTER
In this Issue ...
A Note from J.M. Snyder
This month, for whatever reason, I have an obscene number of releases scheduled. Note to self: don't do this again! *grins*
In addition to my two monthly series, The Positions of Love and Working Man, I have two novellas in e-book format, a single-author collection in paperback, and stories appearing in two upcoming anthologies (only one is listed below because I have no information on the second one).
Let's not forget the writing deadlines I have to meet this month. Oy vey! What a busy start to the summer! But hey, I love writing, and having people enjoy what I write is worth the hassle. And with so many new stories being published this month, there's definitely something for everyone!
New Books Coming This Month
Speed Trap ~ Available May 9th from Aspen Mountain Book 9 of the Working Man series
When Mark Peters is stopped for speeding, patrol officer Lt. W. V. Tench lets him off with just a warning. The only problem is that now Mark can't get the sexy cop out of his mind. When his friends jokingly suggest he drive around until he gets pulled over again, Mark thinks that's a great idea. Except it's a different cop this time. And this one isn't as taken in with Mark's disarming grin as Lt. Tench claimed to be. How many tickets will he have to get to meet the man of his dreams?

Tricked Out ~ Available May 16th from Aspen Mountain
Will Moore is a detective with the Richmond City police department. A case he was involved with went down badly and he was given a month's sabbatical to pull himself together after the death of his informant, a young man named Teabag. Now Will finds himself drawn to another street punk, a hustler named Corey, who seeks police assistance to protect his "boys" from a violent attacker. Though they work well together, Will can't seem to shake the feeling that he will eventually fail to protect Corey ... the same way he failed to save Tea.

Best Gay Bondage Erotica ~ Available May 2008 from Cleis Press Edited by Richard Labonte.
Intricately secured by ropes, locked in handcuffs, or bound simply by a lover's command, these dangerously explicit stories of restraint will grab you, tie you down, and never let you go. From professionals letting loose their inhibitions on an office retreat to a garden full of earthy 'bound' delights, this cornucopia of kink shows men put in their place and then held there firmly.

New Reviews
- Conflict of Interest
- "It's very romantic. There is no real sex, but well, you don't miss it, since there is an erotic tension building all along the book that it's all the same satisfying." ~ Reader Review by Elisa Rolle
- Just What the Doctor Ordered
- "A delightfully written story about two male lovers coping with everyday life ... I was captivated by these two and wanted everyone involved to be happy at some point ... When the three of them realized what was at the heart of their objections, the communication improved between the three." ~ Literary Nymphs Reviews
- The Regent's Knight
- "Should love come before duty? ... I did like the solution contrived by them as well as the steamy lovemaking. I would like to see some more about them as they make their new life." ~ Alternative Read
- Undertow
- "A strange and very suspenseful story ... I was drawn in by the suspense and kept on the edge of my seat until the end. While I enjoyed this story, I feel that the suspense overshadowed the romance ... if you’re interested in the paranormal and learning about unusual legends, you will like this book." ~ Joyfully Reviewed
