A note about Jourdan Lane and Erotic Dreams...

As many of you know, I was co-owner of the zine as well as an editor. For reasons both personal and professional, I'm officially stepping down as both.

I will be concentrating on my own writing and the little bit of work I do for another press.

Twice the Cowboy is on Sale Now!
Publisher: Phaze Books
Price: $5.00

Manuel Santos Fuentes was not the type of cowboy Jess Graff was used to. From the moment they met during the El Paso International Rodeo, Jess wanted the Charro. When Manuel is injured during El Paso de la Muerte, Jess seizes the opportunity to get his vaquero into bed. But cross-cultural misunderstandings and family feuds threaten to destroy their relationship before it really starts. Can two men from wildly different backgrounds overcome hatred and jealousy and learn to trust in each other?

A bartender at the popular bar called the Rave, Peter is used to the
unusual side of the nightlife. Because of this type of work style,
he has a strict rule about one-night stands, especially with patrons
he does not care for being with. Until one evening, Peter catches
the eye of a man named Lucien. Lucien is unlike any man he has ever
met and intrigues him on a sexual and personal level. Even though
the initial attraction is there, what Peter finds out about Lucien
is the beginning of emotional hardship.

Repost - Soul Mates: Bound by Blood

Some of the links in this original post were screwed up, so I'm reposting with the correct info.

Soul Mates: Bound by Blood by Jourdan Lane

From the Torquere Press Website:

Houston nightclub Rave is famous for nearly-naked male dancers and beautiful bartenders, like Peter, a young man with a strict rule about one-night stands. He breaks that rule for Lucien, the owner of The Den, a rival gay nightclub where there are no boundaries, no taboos. Anything goes at The Den, including vampires.

When Peter finds out about Lucien's vampire nature, he figures he should have stuck to his rule, because Lucien pulls him into a dark world of vampires, werewolves and feuding in-laws. No one approves of the human vampire match, and Peter and Lucien have to struggle to stay together. Can they beat the forces that will try to tear them apart forever?

Cock Appreciation Months

Erotic Dreams Zine is declaring July and August 2006 as Cock Appreciation Months -- in celebration of the men and women who adore cock.

For those two months, we will be giving away a slew of prizes from candy penis necklaces, cock suckers,and even cock cookies from The Pink Banana. At the end of August, we will have a special drawing for the Grand Prizes. If you're already a member of EroticDreams, you don't have to do anything.

Every Sunday through Thursday, beginning July 1st and ending August 31st, a name will be drawn for a candy cock prize. Every Friday, we will draw a name to win two Pink Banana cock cookies. And on Aug 31st, the names for the Grand Prizes will be drawn.

On August 1st, five special Cock Appreciation stories will be posted for our readers' pleasure.

So, Erotic Dreams is looking for submissions of stories between 1000 and 2000 words filled with steamy, hot man on man action. Forget the plot, we want all the glorious details of an erotic romp that shows a great appreciation for the male cock.

Submissions deadline is July 15th.

Stories will be posted on Erotic Dreams August 1st. Chosen submissions will receive $25.00 for their story, plus (for this special time only) two Pink Banana Cock Cookies of your very own.

You can submit your story at: http://www.eroticdreamspublishing.com/EroticDreams/edsubmissions.html
