And another awesome review for “I’ll Be Your Man!”

I’m pretty thrilled that our May/December romance is doing so well. It’s a theme that we’ve written a few times, though this is the only one we’ve submitted so far.

Gah. It’s almost a year since Thursday Euclid and I released “Black Gold.”

That was her first published novel and my first with Loose Id. Now we have a couple more under our belts and we’re learning more as we go.

Nothing profound to say, just glad you’re all here. I guess Halloween is sort of my Thanksgiving where I sit back and give thanks for all of the candy and fake blood.

Anyway… another of life’s little treasures is a long review. Even if it’s searing, even if you disagree, it’s nice that someone gave your work that much thought.

The Romance Review’s Valentina Heart had some wonderful things to say:

The age difference is something I love in books. It makes the whole situation more interesting and the conflicts are more often intriguing than not. In this story, it was really written well and not once through the pages did I think how the two aren’t really fitting for each other.

Both characters were really likeable and original in their own way, but it was the son, Kyle, who brought in that bit of spark. His energy and behavior, while irresponsible, was very refreshing in the sea of ‘goodies’ and I for one really liked him.

The story didn’t drag at any point and I read it from the beginning to the end with genuine interest. There are no complications or plot fillers, just a simple story about two men who don’t fit a certain mold and who struggle through their own thoughts as much as they do through other’s condemnation.

And something to make note of:

My two remarks, and the reasons why this is a four star read for me and not a five, are about the sweetness and repetition. I like characters who are realistic, and I like my books that way too. When they cry too much or break down constantly, it’s off putting. I agree it is often sweet and romantic even, but here, it was a tad too much. As for repetition, certain conversations repeated themselves and could have easily been cut out of the story. There is only a certain number of times one wants to read about the same thing, and I wish it was written differently here.

So we’ll keep an eye on that and you should have read all of Valentina Heart’s review at The Romance Reviews website.

If you like what you’ve read, “I’ll Be Your Man” is available at Loose Id and Amazon.

It’ll come as no surprise that I enjoy the May/December dynamic. After all, I wrote a book (actually a couple, but this is the only one we’ve sent to publish.) I’m so excited that other people enjoy it, it too. It means a lot that someone felt like we got the dynamic right, because that’s really what our goal was.

From the review:

I loved, loved, LOVED this book! One of the great things about the Nacht/Euclid writing team is the fast paced storyline and the dialog between the two characters. Because of this, I really get the feeling that their heroes really come to like and then love each other. As the book progresses their emotional bond deepens and by the end of the book, I was totally captivated by Richard and Paul’s love for one another.

cover of I'll Be Your Man

Richard Lynch is a 50-something executive with an ex-wife he’s still hung up on and a son in grad school who only calls when he wants something. In his professional life, Richard’s successful and in control, but his personal life consists of little more than sitting down in front of the television set at seven and being in bed by nine.

Then he meets his son Kyle’s best friend and roommate, Paul Watkins, the handsome gay son of a former rockstar. Richard’s bland, predictable world is thrown into chaos by Paul’s sweetly determined pursuit of him. To some Richard’s new lease on life seems like a mid-life crisis and Paul’s infatuation seems motivated by daddy issues, but to Richard, Paul is his chance to explore a part of himself he’s kept buried all his life. With friends, family, and their pasts threatening to keep them apart, what will it take for each to become the other’s man?

I’ll Be Your Man is available now!

And buzzing around like a proper uh.. insect?

This book came together really quickly. Some stories are more ponderous or require more frequent stops to re-examine motivations, but this one seemed to fly out of our fingers.

It’s a bit of a parody in that the characters are obvious WASP stereotypes, but we hope that we brought some heart and soul to the silly and that you’ll enjoy it!

Without further ado… Order your copy of The WASPs

Le Jazz Hot by Clancy Nacht & Thursday Euclid

Cover art by P.L. Nunn

Handsome Julian Larson is a talented singer and dancer who performs in drag to make ends meet. So when his best friend needs a burlesque act at the last minute for a fireman’s birthday party, he calls Julian. There Julian dances for the birthday boy Trent Fitzgerald; a too good to be true heart throb who is too nice to keep a woman in his life. Falling hard for the leggy, blond singer–but believing that she’s a woman named Julia–Trent tracks Julian down to his apartment where Julian poses as “Julia’s” twin in a desperate, doomed ploy to win over the sexy firefighter. When Trent inevitably uncovers the truth, will it mean the end of Julian’s chances or the beginning of a new opportunity?

Available May 17 at Loose Id.

Cover for Black Gold by Clancy Nacht and Thursday EuclidNow available through Loose Id, my book (coauthored with Thursday Euclid), Black Gold, a m/m story about star crossed rock stars, is available in multiple formats.

I’m so excited about this. It’s not just a novel, it’s a novel plus, meaning it’s kind of long because, you know, writing sexy bits and describing costumes takes a lot of words. Also, we explored the themes of coming out in the media, romance in the spotlight, and the evolution and changing of the music industry.

As with most things I write, there is a bit of political undertone. It’s a fantasy, of course, but I hope it makes people think.

And, you know, if you’re going to be protesting the TSA this week by refusing scanning and getting patted down, this will not only give you something to pass the time, but maybe make the groping more fun.

Mmm strangers in latex gloves groping your junk. That’s how everyone should start their Thanksgiving holidays.

Buy now. Not just for you, but for the security of America. Or something.
