Angelina of TwoLips Reviews gave me 4 lippys (I think they’re lips but I think of them as lippys) for my short story “A Certain Pressure in the Pipes!”

She says:

A Certain Pressure in the Pipes is vintage Clancy Nacht. Her m/m stories always feature humor, intelligence, surprising bits of poetry, and enough raw man-sex to leave you flushed. The characters offer the promise of complexity and their situation offers the promise of multiple layers of plot, but the 40 short pages they’re given doesn’t allow either the characters or the plot to develop. While it lacks the emotional punch of Black Gold, or even the aching longing of The WASPs, A Certain Pressure in the Pipes is good for what it is: a short, funny, erotic interlude.

This was among the first pieces I published and it’s with Noble Romance–a great place not afraid to take chances on new authors. I learned a lot publishing there. They’re great!

Another encouraging review for “A Certain Pressure in the Pipes” is up on Three Dollar Bill Reviews.

“I honestly laughed out loud when I read the blurb about the pleasuring machine and when introduced in the story, the scene is not only hot but very enjoyable. It’s funny, tongue in cheek (both cheeks!) and sets up some great lines between the men. Conrad’s sense of the absurd really makes the story fun to read.”

I’m very happy that the reviewer enjoyed the story and really seemed to “get” Conrad. It’s very exciting this story is doing so well because it was so fun to write. It came out of my wanting to experiment with the genre and reading books about Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln at the time, so I felt fairly comfy with the atmosphere. And making up pervy inventions? Well, that’s just fun.

And with many thanks to Random.org, we have our winnner! Aurum! Congrats!

Synopsis:

Conrad Lloyd’s father, Governor of an old west town, wishes his son wasn’t so interested in inventing, or men for that matter. It isn’t until Conrad meets Ezhno, a Native American inventor, that Conrad thinks he can find sexual and intellectual fulfillment all in one man. Will they find their way together despite the societal and familial divide that threatens to keep them apart? Or will Conrad have to satisfy himself with his steam-powered Pleasuring Machine?
