The latest Black Lace Wicked Words collection, Love on the Dark Side, is now out in the US! This one contains one of Teresa’s and my favorite stories, “Stranger to my Shores,” which was one of the first ones we wrote together. The book is chock-full of other fabulous paranormal romance/erotic stories.

There’s a review here at the Erotica Readers Association. Of “Stranger,” the reviewer says,

“Marine biologist Maris’ head is swimming when she gets just what she desires when a life-changing meeting with a sick merman requires her expertise, and love finds a way to survive, no matter what the penalty. ‘Stranger to my Shores’ by Sophie Mouette makes a splash with this sweet and tender romance where two very different people yearn to be together, against all odds.”

I’ll be participating in a group book signing on October 14 at the
Barnes & Noble in Encino, sponsored by the Los Angeles Romance
Writers of America chapter (LARA). I’d love to see some friendly
familiar faces there!

Best of all, when you buy books that day and present a voucher when
you pay, a portion of that money will go towards supporting LARA.
(And it’s tax-deductible, too!)

Here’s the info:

Date: Sunday, October 14
Time: 12-2 p.m.

Barnes & Noble
16461 Ventura Boulevard

Downloadable vouchers and flyers about the event can be found here. Or, if you
prefer, drop me a note and I’ll send them to you as e-mail attachments.

Hope to see you there!

“I was particularly struck by the little gem, ‘Sultan’s Sons’ by Dayle A Dermatis. This was, in my opinion, the shortest and strongest story in the entire collection.”
- www.horrorreader.com

“You want something new and something fresh and I think I got that when I accepted [a story] from…Dayle Dermatis. I’d like to think that someday these…writers will be at the forefront of the new age in Fantasy and I can say that I helped them in my own small way.”
- Armand Rosamilia

Best Lesbian Love Stories: Summer Fling anthology

Fabulous Whitby anthology, Shrew Press (UK).

Just to let you know, I’ve had to cancel my participation in the reading. I still sound like I’m hacking up a lung, which just isn’t sexy.

If you were planning on going, I encourage you to still do so and support the other writers. Thanks!
