For any Werewolf Marines fans...

Partner is finished, polished, proofread, and DONE. It has been turned in for formatting, and will be published once that's complete.

Prisoner is currently free at all e-book vendors. Hopefully that will lure in some readers.

If you enjoyed the banter and hurt-comfort in Prisoner, there's lots more in Partner.

I have to finish my Courtney Milan binge first, which you started with your review of Trade Me

Oh, you've got lots to read, then! I hope you'll report on them. Unveiled has a really nice portrayal of PTSD - actually, I love the way she writes about mental illnesses and disabilities in general.

(Better than in Trade Me, I thought. I think it's really hard to depict therapy as healing without the book being about the process of therapy, so if therapy is a possibility, it tends to happen off-page and then the healing drops out of the story. It's a big advantage to write about historical times and other situations where therapy isn't an option, because then you can see people grappling with their issues on-page without the help of a character who otherwise isn't involved in the story at all.)

I've been reading the Brother's Sinister, and there has been a character with some form of mental illness in every book so far. She's really impressive. I also like that her heroines are smart and motivated, not to mention actively engaged participants in their sexual choices.
