Join me for a little backlist bump today.
“Venus Envy by EM Lynley is a short, hot, sexy fun read with a satisfying twist that should’t be missed, and is highly recommended.” — Mrs. Condit Reviews Books
One of my favorite stories is probably my least-read title (it joins A Lesser Evil for selling fewer copies than my age). It’s actually heartbreaking when a story I loved writing doesn’t get noticed at all.
If you like urban fantasy and a little big of magic, you’ll enjoy this one. Ancient Rome meets popular culture and the lines between past, present, and a little humor.
I’m trying a new feature of embedding a book preview. Unfortunaltey there is all that publisher bumf at the front, but skip past it to get to the first chapter. And don’t worry, even though there are some women in here, it as all male/male and lots of it.
When Sancus, the Roman God of Loyalty, finally meets a mortal with whom he desires a real relationship, he can’t pursue Aurelio because he’s under a curse…or is he?
Sancus, Roman God of Loyalty and Honesty, snubs an advance from Venus. Furious, the Goddess of Love convinces Cupid to cast a curse on him, causing Sancus to be attracted to every hot guy he meets. In fact, he can’t say no.
During a week of almost non-stop arousal and sex Sancus meets Aurelio, a mortal that he desperately wants to see again, but until the curse is lifted he fears ruining any chance for a real relationship. The only way to end the curse is for Sancus to untangle the finely-woven threads and discover it’s actually a love spell…

Read the first part of the book right here! (I’d love feedback about whether you find this feature useful or not, so please leave a comment).
If you have a Scribd subscription it’s free to keep reading! If you don’t have a subscription, you may want to check it out. I love mine. It’s like Netflix Instant Watch, just read whatever and whenever you want. Authors do get paid per read, so you are supporting us whenever you get past 30% of the book.
I am slightly in love with Scribd now. It is quickly becoming the first place I go to get books.
I know! I kind of want to have its baby. The self-pubbed authors’ new books are here, and lots of great backlist books I haven’t read from publisher. Plus, I’m finding a ton of books I use for research so I don’t have to lug 20 books home from library on BART every time. And no overdue fees. I probably spend more than $100 a year just on library fines.
This sounds like a fab story! I, also, feel really hurt when a story of mine that I love just doesn’t find its audience, especially when it gets decent reviews 🙁
That happened here for a variety of reasons. But I sure hope a few people will discover it again and tell two friends.
Good luck 🙂
