Happy Release Day!

YAY -- I have a new paranormal release!

Today is a good day for vampires!  It's a good thing too, because my new Dreamspinner Press m/m BDSM (mild) short story THE REGENT'S CAPTURE was released today and it has . . . vampires!

Raden’s heard all the tales about the vampire known as the Regent. As infamous for his power as for his irresistible good looks, the Regent doesn’t care about Vampire Law—he makes his own law. No one dares defy him. He does what he wants, when he wants, and what he wants now is Raden. Captured and dragged to the older vampire’s underground lair, Raden is about to discover the truth behind the tales… and what the tales don’t tell.

THE REGENT'S CAPTURE is available here.

Enjoy my two vamps!

Just for fun - lavender recipes

While writing The Magic of Lavender, I came across so many delicious recipes for dishes using lavender, I thought it would be cool to create a companion recipe book. It's free from Smashwords, but Amazon wouldn't let me charge less than 99 cents, so if you'd like a copy for your Kindle, just email me at cate.masters AT gmail.com and I'll send you the prc file.

So now you can create the same lavender dishes exclusive to Lavender Hill Inn. Joss Gibson's grandmother handed these recipes down to her, knowing full well it would draw the fae to the establishment.

I make no such claim about these lavender recipes. I only know that your life will be sweeter if you make these specialty dishes for your family! And yourself, of course.

Though you may not be related to a goddess like my heroine, you can still be a goddess in the kitchen with these recipes!

And while you're sipping down a lavender lemonade (or a lavender margarita!), and maybe soaking your feet in a lavender foot bath, why not sample The Magic of Lavender? With its delectable heroine and yummy hero, it's sure to sate your appetite in other ways. :)

New release: Song of Love and War out with Amber Allure!

Hi everyone! I have some great news and wanted to share it with you. My m/m paranormal novella was released today with Amber Allure Press! :)

This is the story of Thane, a human man, and Suresh, a male elf, who meet in a lull in the war and discover their feelings - and lust - for each other. ;)

Thane leaned forward, putting down his glass. It was the man with the long ponytail he’d seen at the lobby. He sat alone, staring into his drink, his fine features locked in a scowl. A strand of dark hair teased the base of that long, white throat. Even from afar, his eyes glittered, some pale shade of crystal, and his lips curved into a slight sneer, beautifully shaped and soft-looking.
Then the man dipped his head to sip at his drink, and an elegantly pointed ear peeked through his dark hair.
An elf!

Also, my short m/m/m paranormal story, featuring a vampire, a demon lord and an angel, is now out in the Ravenous Romance anthology "Three's a charm"! :)

The anthology is available here!
