I’m a little bit heartbroken and kind of crushed. I have Chrissy Brashear (and Heather Osborn) stories that I’ll tell another time. A time when my heart isn’t so sore.
I’ve talked many times how Joey W Hill’s ROUGH CANVAS was the first m/m *and* the first BDSM novel I fell in love with… But m/m was never EC’s strong seller (to my eventual personal disappointment), and many of my go-to m/m authors came from Samhain.
KA Mitchell. Oh. Em. Gee. I discovered her during a *really* tense time in my life – my Goddaughter was in a bad situation and had come to live with me, I was fighting for her on so many levels, AND working in what was, in reality, an at-risk school. I think I went a good week w out sleeping at one point.
KA Mitchell probably saved my sanity that summer. I started w CHASING SMOKE, and then worked my way through her entire backlist. COLLISION COURSE remains in my top 5 comfort reads of all time.
JL Langley. The Englor books. LOVE. Passionately.
Jordan Castillo Price. She’s only got the one book there, HEMOVORE. I got the impression it wasn’t universally embraced, but I loved it, and it led me to the Wild Bill & Michael stories (Also on my comfort read shelf!) & PsyCop – I actually LITERALLY finished re-reading the 7 main books this afternoon.
So many amazing authors. Those are just my eatly discoveries Excellent editing, by and large.
ZA Maxfield…
Gah!
And yes, selfishly, I’d hoped to be pubbed there someday, too.
My heart hurts for the authors and the readers. My heart hurts for Chrissy and her team.
My heart especially hurts for all the ePubs being crushed by the leviathan that is Amazon.
