Title: Phaze in Verse
Blurb: Edited by Kally Jo Surbeck, featuring the authors of Phaze. Poetry has long been a short form method to story telling. Morals, epic tales, even desperate pleas for understanding have been recorded through the ages in verse. And yet, somewhere along the line of our technologically advancing society, it seems those small intimate pleasures are growing lost. Poetry is love, life, and feeling breathed into words. Our shared experiences, emotions, dreams?. Today, we are pleased to present to you a fine collection of poetry. This is not just iambic pentameter or rhymed. It is not only free verse or measured. This is a comprehensive collection of a wide variety of tastes, styles, and passions. Just like our readers. There is a little bit of something for everyone.

Title: Phaze Fantasies: Volume III
Blurb: Six Phaze favorites deliver stories of homoerotic passion and romance.
Behind the Beard by Yeva Wiest : Madly in lust, handsome young counselor Byron Jones hides his secret self. The object of his attraction: Lord Richard Kincade, the Queen’s most sought after barrister. With the help of two conniving old codgers, a mischievous miss, and some six-legged buggers, Byron “wigs out” to capture the heart of Lord Kincade.
This story proves the belle of the ball just might be a beau, but everything depends on who is really hiding behind the beard.

Title: Summer of Fire
Blurb: The Summer of Fire, as the media calls it, brings steamy weather and the threat of an arsonist. Officer Helen is charged with ending the madness, yet her passion for a widowed firefighter continues to flame.
Author: Christine London
Title: Sunninghill Snow
Blurb: In charge of obtaining celebrity bookings and future programming for BBC 3’s Good Morning Show, Bryce is living a lightening-paced life as the man to know in morning TV and one of London’s most eligible bachelors. Having long been relegated to the occasional wistful smile or cringe of regret, Kay Macara was the last person he’d expected to run into at his best mate’s country cottage. One snowbound weekend, a recalcitrant cat, a wild sled adventure and time stranded together are a recipe for war…or passion. The problem is that neither one can seem to see what’s right in front of them: they never stopped loving each other.

Title: Dark Needs
Blurb: Two bestselling novellas by two Phaze favorites, together in one volume!
The Power of Two: As a vampire Master, Dominic has been eyeing his old friend, Griffith for quite a while. But being a Master in his own right, Grif resisted the notion of Dominic controlling him in any way. With startling skill, Dominic sets out to change that refusal. He has his own deep interest in him, born of watching Grif’s submission at the hand of another Master. Even though Dominic can’t help but toy with his old friend, in truth, he wants him only as an equal. But how to convince Grif without letting his guard down is Dominic’s biggest issue.
Aware of some of that interest but not the reason for it, Grif has his own secret. His trust had been violated by his own vampire Master, and since that night, he’s refused to let another dominate him. And he’d swore to himself that no one ever would.
Dominion: Still dealing with the aftershocks of his ordeal at Tristan’s hands, Griffith St. James is fighting the urge to withdraw completely. He feels guilty for what happened, less than a man. The nightmares of his torture at his former master’s hands are worse than ever. Dominic Marcellus struggles to draw Grif back into their life before Tristan, but fate has other plans.
Finding himself back in the clutches of his abusive former master, Grif is terrified and can only pray Dominic comes for him in time.
How Romantic is That?
We’re pretty stoked about this song by Lori McKenna, How Romantic is That?. Ms McKenna is an awesome romantic storyteller, she does it with music. Here’s a little bit about her:
Lori McKenna is a mother of five from Stoughton, Mass. (pop. 27,000), about 20 miles outside Boston. There, she lives quietly—well, as quietly as a house with five children can get—with her husband of 18 years, Gene, a plumber for the local gas company. For years she drove her kids to school in a 1999 Ford Windstar minivan with 150,000 miles on it. It is fitting Lori entitled her Warner Brothers debut album Unglamorous.
Lori McKenna is also an acclaimed singer-songwriter who was thrust into the limelight last year when superstar Faith Hill included three of McKenna’s songs on her Number One album Fireflies, including Hill’s poignant single “Stealing Kisses.” Hill (herself a wife and mother of three) heard in McKenna’s work what a steadily growing audience has been hearing since her 1998 debut, Paper Wings & Halo: an intimate understanding and honest expression of the realities of domestic life.
While Lori has several fine songs on her latest album Unglamourous, How Romantic is That? is available only as a video from Don Was’ Channel and YouTube. We’ve made it easy for you to check it out here at Realms of Love.
