Friday Frijinks--EJ is MOVING!!

2011-12-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

Or hijinks. Or something. I'm switching my main website as well as this blog over to a single website. For future blog shenanigans, hop on over to elizabeth-jewell.com. Everything I've posted here, including the hot hockey dudes, will be over there. And I've got a new Hockeyrotica story coming in a couple of weeks, and some fun new things for the new year, so be sure to drop in at the new digs

Review for About Damn Time

2011-11-14T17:01:00.001-07:00

This review got lost in my massive number of open tabs... Anyway, it's a nice review of About Damn Time from Brief Encounters. Thanks to Brief Encounters and pettyprose for the "A" rating! "The author’s style is a delight, with some vivid analogies: the paint job was a vivid, brilliant blue, like a Rocky Mountain sky on a cloudless summer day. She does well to trade heavily on the dialogue,

Five Hockey Players with Puppies

2011-11-11T19:11:00.000-07:00

I was going to post something today that didn't have anything to do with hockey, but it soon became apparent that this was a hopeless cause. So today we have five hockey players with puppies. Enjoy! 1. Paul Bissonnette, enforcer for the Phoenix Coyotes and well-known douchey Twitter personality. With a puppy. 2. Patrick Sharp, handsomest hockey player in Chicago, with his

Thoughts On Writing—Why I Write m/m

2011-11-08T09:00:00.000-07:00

photo from sxc.hu by catalin82 As a female type person writing gay erotic romance, I often field the question—why do you do that? To which my immediate thought is, well, for the same reason I do anything. Because I want to. Trouble is, a lot of the answers to this question can be pretty flippant. Because it’s hot. Because it gets me going. Because, hey, who wants to settle for one hot

Friday Five: Five Awesome Hockey Player Profiles

2011-10-28T09:00:00.002-06:00

I have a thing for noses. I don't know why. Maybe it's because scientific evidence proves that the length of a man's nose is directly proportional to the length of other parts of his body (I totally just made that up). In any case, a unique profile catches my attention every time. Today, I'll share some of my favorite profiles from the NHL. Your mileage may vary, but in my world these are Most

Friday Five--Fictional Vampires

2011-10-14T19:43:00.000-06:00

Today I'm dedicating this (late) blog post to fictional vampires. Ones I didn't invent... Some of these vamps are my favorites, while others have been included on the list for other reasons which I'll explain in excruciating detail. 1. Angel. I think Angel will always be my favorite vampire. I started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel late in the shows' runs, but I was--and still am-

The Vampire as Outcast

2011-10-11T10:16:00.000-06:00

I think one of the reasons the vampire mythos has been so popular for so long has a lot to do with the various metaphors the figure of the vampire can stand in for. One of these is the outcast. The vampire is often depicted as trying to function in normal society but failing. There are too many “tells,” and the vampire is found out. Those that are not found out in fiction usually live lives in

Friday Five--Nudity and Dolphins

2011-10-07T10:48:00.000-06:00

The hockey season began yesterday. And I still haven't looked to see who won the Pens/'Nucks confrontation because I'm not sure I'm ready to know yet. (I didn't stay up for the damn overtime--it was past my bedtime.) Have I mentioned I hate the 'Nucks? However, in spite of my deep, passionate dislike of the Vancouver Canucks, the biggest news in the hockey world this week is this: 1. Ryan

EJ is Lazy

2011-10-04T09:17:00.000-06:00

Okay, not really lazy. I wrote a blog post yesterday about vampires (again), but I wasn't really happy with it, so I'm not posting it. So, since that post was a bust, I share with you instead an inspiring video in which a hockey player prepares for training camp during the off-season. Unfortunately it looks like I can't embed it, so you'll have to follow the link. Sadness. Enjoy. (Yes, this is

Some News

2011-10-03T10:12:00.000-06:00

I apparently don't have anything substantial to say today, so I'll try to say something substantial tomorrow. In the meantime, some news: Puck You, Two, the follow-up to Puck You, will be released in December from Razor's Edge Press via Changeling Press. I hope you'll check in to see what Bessette and Laska are up to in this installment. More news as it comes my way...

Friday Five--the Hottest of the Hot

2011-09-30T09:00:00.003-06:00

So this week I'm going to start something new--the five hottest hunky dudes of the week. Hopefully they won't all end up being hockey players. I hope you find something here you like. I did... 1. A perennial favorite, Jensen Ackles plays Dean Winchester in Supernatural. If I were fair, I'd put Jared Padalecki in at number 2, but I don't feel like being fair. He can earn his own spot later. 2.

The Allure Of The Vampire

2011-09-26T11:00:00.000-06:00

Vampires used scare me to death. When I was 10 or 12 years old, I watched the original Dracula on TV (the Bela Lugosi one—yep, hard-core old-school), and that night I sat awake with a flashlight reading because I was afraid to go to sleep. As to why I was so terrified—who knows? I probably needed medication even at that tender age. But the weird, scary dreams and the basic terror of the vampire

Another Great Review!

2011-09-23T09:33:00.000-06:00

I'm trying to get away from the OMG I got a great review-type posts, but I just have to share because it's so exciting to see people responding positively to my stories. This is another review for About Damn Time and Puzzle Pieces, this time from Brief Encounters reviews. "The author’s style is tight and witty, and the sex scenes hot... The slightly longer story was welcome, they’re an

Awesome Review for About Damn Time & Puzzle Pieces

2011-09-21T09:55:00.004-06:00

Google Alerts dropped this little gem into my mailbox the other day. I'd like to thank Serena Yates and Queer Magazine Online for the great review. "This was really well written and I enjoyed how they made gradual progress. Just as gradual as the artistic development. The passion, once they admitted the truth was amazing. "If you like the ‘strong silent types’, men who find it difficult to

The Mens They Are Nekkids

2011-09-19T09:00:00.001-06:00

A few days ago, my Evil Best Friend send me the picture you see here to the left with the caption, "If this isn't your next book cover, it should be." Well, I liked that idea an awful lot, so I sent her off on a Google search to find out where the picture came from. It took her all of two minutes to come back with the original source, even though she found the picture on a Tumblr account with no

Thoughts on Writing: Learning from Reviews

2011-08-29T10:54:00.001-06:00

Nobody likes to get a bad review. Even a mediocre review can put a downer in your day. Nobody likes to hear that a reader didn't like their book, and neither do you want to hear that a reader responding with a resounding "Meh." Sometimes, though, not-so-good reviews can make you look at your work in a different way. There are always those reviews where the reviewer seems to be spitting out a

Finishing Edits

2011-08-22T09:00:00.001-06:00

There's something satisfying about finishing the edits on a new book or story. Your baby is all done, all polished, and ready to go out into the world. It's a little sad, a little exhilarating, and a little bit of a relief. I usually take a short break after edits are done, and then plunge into the next project. So the edits on Puck You, Two are complete. Now all we have to do is wait for a

New Story Coming Saturday!

2011-08-18T11:58:00.001-06:00

Puzzle Pieces, the follow-up to About Damn Time, will be arriving this Saturday, August 20, from Torquere Press. Jason’s new relationship with Troy is the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

New Backlist Book Available

2011-08-02T09:06:00.000-06:00

...or is "new backlist" an oxymoron? Anyway... A few years ago, I wrote a novella with my best friend. Yes, the same evil best friend who bombarded me with pictures of hot hockey players until I succumbed to the inevitable. I've just rereleased it on all the usual platforms, so hop on over and take a look. Amazon Barnes & Noble All Romance eBooks 1PlaceforRomance Alec Roth inherited a Devil's

In Puzzle Pieces, Jason discovers his new career as an artist, as well as

Totes Hot Hockey Dudes

2011-07-05T10:02:00.003-06:00

In my last post, I discussed the process by which my sneaky BFF got me started watching hockey. In this post, I will share with you some of the visual stimuli she employed in her campaign. In other words: Pictures of hot guys! *throws confetti* Now, my BFF is a dedicated Chicago Blackhawks fan, so, understandably, the pictures she sent were Blackhawks heavy. In all fairness, though, the Hawks

Why Hockey, You Ask?

2011-07-01T09:47:00.001-06:00

With Puck You coming out soon from Razor's Edge Press, some of you may be wondering, WTF, EJ? Hockey? Seriously? And I think I owe you all an explanation. It's my best friend's fault. Frankly, a lot of things are my best friend's fault. This is because she knows how to push all my buttons. And will do so, gleefully, when she feels like it. It's kind of scary. So the hockey conversation,

New Review for The Chocolatier

Another nice review for The Chocolatier, this time from Elisa Rolle. Her take on the story isn't quite what I thought I meant when I wrote it, but I like it a lot:"Probably the most interesting thing of all the story is that, basically, it’s a nice and ordinary love story, nothing really magic or strange. Just boy meets boy, boy falls in love for boy, boy needs to prove his love for boy. Just as

A great new review for Crimson Star over at Bitten by Books."The characters are wickedly fun and very engaging. I also enjoyed how the author played with the “scientific” aspects of the space travel and gave careful attention to the science-fiction side of things rather than only the erotic. I enjoyed this tale, and hope to read more of Jewell’s writing in the future."Thanks to Jennifer and

New Review for Crimson Star

2009-01-15T09:00:00.000-07:00

"The story is not very long, 53 pages, but it surprised me: it's very well plotted, both characters are interesting and involving. ..."I like this book, since it has a strange atmosphere, like an old classic sci-fic movie, one made more by the characters than by the setting, since, not having enough budget for the setting (read book length), the author prefers to concentrate on the characters'

Spreading the Word

2008-10-10T18:11:00.003-06:00

Earlier this year, gay couples were given the right to legally marry in the state of California. In November, California voters are faced with a proposition that will eliminate that right, possibly permanently. If you can help out the groups campaigning to vote down this discriminatory proposition, please do.This is a cause I feel very strongly about, so I feel the need to get the word out as

2008-09-30T09:00:00.000-06:00

You know that thing where I was going to focus on one thing at a time? Well, I got one thing finished, and then somehow between then and now I started a new project. Or actually unearthed an old, unfinished project. Fortunately it looks like it's going to be a short one...

Focus, People, FOCUS!!

2008-09-02T08:02:00.002-06:00

I think I've reached that point in my current block of writing projects where I need to buckle down and focus on one thing at a time. I do this a lot--get several projects underway, in different phases of completion (first draft, second draft, edits, etc.), and go back and forth between them depending on my mood. And yeah, it gets stuff done, and helps stave off writer's block, but at some point

Recovering...

2008-08-28T06:54:00.002-06:00

Finally getting back into the swing of things after a bout with under-the-weather-ness. Which means...back to writing! Sometimes it's hard to get your focus back after time away from the keyboard, but sometimes all it takes is the right music. I'm kind of halfway in between those stages right now...
