She Loves Me is a Kindle Bestseller!

I just had to share this. It's not every day I'm included in a list with Violet Blue and Zane.


I don't know how long the book will hold position, but at this writing my first collection of lesbian erotica, She Loves Me: a Collection of Lesbian Erotica, is number 3 in the Kindle Erotica Anthologies bestseller list! This is a collection of my F/F stories, which include Share, Share Some Some, Last Call, and others. All of the stories are available individually on Kindle, or you can get this collection - the combined stories - at a cheaper price if you don't have any of them yet.

Watch this space, too, for news of my next GLBT release, very likely an M/M Dareville novella. Thanks!

New release by Leigh Ellwood: South of Sundance!

Are you planning to attend the F/F writing panel at Authors After Dark this year? If so, you'll get to hear me talk about my experiences in writing and marketing lesbian erotica and romance. It's not a genre I specifically set out to write, but I find as I sell more I'm apt to write more. Now, I won't write F/F exclusively - I have so many stories to finish and new releases are coming soon. For now, you can go to All Romance and pick up my latest, South of Sundance! Buy it now!

Days before her sexy documentary debuts at a popular lesbian film festival, director Bebe Yasbeck is confronted by an old flame and conflicting feelings about the direction of her career and her assistant, Debra. Will her experience at South of Sundance provide her with the happy Hollywood ending she desires?

Recently a friend of mine attended the Tribeca Film Festival to see the new Rush documentary - actually brushed past Geddy Lee on the way out the door, and sat next to Eddie Trunk from VH1. Hearing the story got me thinking about how a director might react on attending such a festival, wondering about the reception of her film. Also, I'd been planning a print collection of my other F/F stories (She Loves Me, coming soon but now in eBook) and needed one more to fill up the length. So I ended up writing this. Hope you enjoy it.

Win Leigh's BEA Book Bag!


Usually every year I hold a big-ass RT bag giveaway, where I collect entries to win the bag of everything I snatched during the con. This usually includes ARCs, promos, and all sorts of goodies. Since I couldn't make it to RT this year, and since I amassed quite a library of review copies from BEA, I've decided to make this my big drawing this year. If you love to read and want to impress friends by obtaining books that won't be out for months yet, this is your chance.

Here's how it works: Just leave a comment on THIS POST ON MY BLOG ONLY with your first name and indication if you are in the continental US or elsewhere.

As you can see in the picture above, I also snagged a few eBook ARCS: A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James, Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, and The Brazen Bride Stephanie Laurens. For prints, you stand to win the following. It's a mix of romance, literary, YA and non-fiction.

One comment HERE, before June 11, 11PM EST. That's all you need to do. And now, a word from the Legal Dept.

No purchase necessary to enter. Two (2) prizes will be awarded: the books to one entrant living in the continental United States, a gift certificate to one entrant living outside this area. Please be aware on receiving these books that the majority of them are advanced review copies and as such are not for resale and/or distribution on torrent sites. Good luck!

Two new fantasy short stories by J.M. Snyder

Now Available!

To Love a God

by J.M. Snyder

Read an excerpt or buy your copy today!

BLURB:

Lame, with harsh features, brooding eyes, a wiry beard crackling with flame, and ropy muscles, the god mortals call Hephaestus is nobody's idea of perfection. Indeed, far from it. A lingering odor of burnt solder clings to him, adding to his manly stench of sweat and musk. His bed is narrow and lonely, his sheets filled with soot and regret.

Blacksmith to Olympus, he hides from his kin on an island in the Mediterranean, commissioned to forge a hero's sword from unbreakable metal. But a brief tryst with a minor water god distracts him. Aean is everything Hephaestus is not ~ young, beautiful, sexy. He stirs in Hephaestus a savage lust the smith has never felt before.

Now Hephaestus wants Aean for his own, and he won't rest until the water god is his.

Quench the Fire

by J.M. Snyder

BLURB:

In the first story, Greek god Hephaestus finds his world ~ and his mind and body ~ set aflame by a minor water god named Aean.

In this follow-up story, Aean interrupts his celestial lover in the one place where Hephaestus is most powerful: his forge. Though busy with work, Hephaestus doesn't mind the interruption, and when Aean suggests a reversal of their usual roles ~ this time with him on the receiving end of Hephaestus's attentions ~ the smith hurries to comply.
