I’ve been Snoopy dancing ever since I got the news a few days ago, but I couldn’t share until the list was made public. Lady Doctor Wyre has been nominated by the Romantic Times for 2011 Best Paranormal/Fantasy/SF Erotic Romance! The official list is here.
Seeing my name and book listed with such fabulous company is such a tremendous honor I get all choked up just thinking about it.
Now, if only I can find a way to GET to the RT convention in Chicago next year!
Coming August 29th from Carina Press:
Bred for him…and for his bed.
Golden-eyed Jin has spent her life preparing to be the Emperor’s consort. She knows her destiny is to serve the Emperor by indulging the dark desire that he has buried deep inside his heart—the desire to give pain.
Only she can take the pain he yearns to give, and transform it into the most unimaginable pleasure. But to enjoy all the Emperor can give her, she must survive assassination attempts from those who would keep them apart.
Seducing the Emperor is risky…but it’s the only way to fulfill her destiny.
Woo-hoo! I just heard that Hurt Me So Good has been nominated for Best Erotic Romance (Non-Traditional Lifestyle) of 2010 at The Romance Reviews! Voting is open until March 31st. Click the image below to place your vote!
Sherri has posted a wonderful review on her blog:
Another amazing read! This story is a wonderful mix of steampunk, sci-fi, western frontier, regency London, and as Burkhart calls it “Jane Austen Space Opera.” Burkhart peppered the world with enough information for you to see it, feel it, without burdening the story. A skill I admire. I love a richly built world but often find it slows the pace of the story…not so with Lady Doctor Wyre.
I can’t thank Sherri enough for reading an early version and helping fine-tune the story before submitting. I swear it was the easiest round of revisions I’ve ever had, and it was thanks in large part to my beta readers! Thank you so much!
I have the final files of Lady Doctor Wyre in hand! If you’re willing to review a SF erotic romance (menage and some BDSM) that’s loosely “A Jane Austen Space Opera” then please e-mail me at joelysueburkhart AT gmail DOT com with your desired format. You don’t have to have an official review site — if you’re willing to rate on Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, etc. that is wonderful too. Release date isn’t until March, but I’d love to get some reviews ahead of schedule!
