julesjonesLoose Id's New Year's Eve themed m/m romance anthology A Kiss At Midnight is now available. Three novellas for $6.99:
First Footer by Jules Jones
They say that how you spend New Year's Day will set the pattern for the rest of your year. Hence the old custom of the First Footing: to bring good luck to the household, the first person across the threshold after midnight should be a tall dark man holding a lump of coal and a bottle of whisky. When Matthew’s First Footer is a First Contact team member with fur, a tail, and a very seductive purr, well, it’s going to be an interesting year for Matthew…
The Burning Man by Ally Blue
Zach is a doctoral level archaeology student working on the excavation of a Creek village in southwest Alabama, and the nearby cave containing signs of a Spanish camp. Jonny is a well respected doctor of archaeology, an expert in ancient religions, called in to investigate a strange statue found in the cave. As they work together to uncover the startling mystery of the statue, their relationship deepens into something more than either of them ever bargained for.
Wildest Dreams by Emily Veinglory
The new year is coming, and with it a new era of peace and cooperation between the many races of the were people. But for Luke, a lone wolf on the run from his past and his predatory nature, the new year may not be joyous. Especially when his new lover, an exiled were deer is kidnapped, and he must rely on new, non-wolf, friends to help him defeat the ‘Big Bad Wolf’ who wants to go back to a time when wolves were wolves and deer were…dinner.
Excerpts from all the stories available at the Loose Id website, and more excerpts from my story First Footer available on my website.
And a most excellent collection it is too, even if I do say so myself. :-)

They don't all do that well. But Mindscan did, and *I* nearly fainted when I saw the royalty statement for that one, it being the first time I'd sold that many in the first month. I'll be interested to see the first month's figures for Pulling Strings, to see if that does as well.
It's still nowhere near the requirements for SFWA, and I'm in no danger of triggering my Campbell clock, but it's perfectly respectable sf small press numbers for most of mine.
