Safeword: Storm Clouds is reviewed by the Deviant Divas

I would like to thank the Divas at Deviant Divas Erotic Book Reviews for their review of Safeword: Storm Clouds. Some of the Diva’s liked it more than others – here are a few of the nice things said: Well now if I had realized vampire stories could be as hot as Candace Blevin’s “Safeword storm clouds” then I would have explored this genre ages ago. The main characters Kendra and Eric are both believable and sympathetic. I cared about what happened to them and wanted them to sort out their issues and relationship. I wanted them to get their fairytale ending. I even liked the ambiguity of the ending because it may indicate a sequel and I could read more both from this author and about these characters.

The person who gave me a 2 appears to not enjoy the whole power exchange thing, and I fully understand someone who doesn’t get into the […]

Reduced Price on both Safeword books

Both Safeword: Rainbow and Safeword: Storm Clouds are now $3.99 at Amazon and Bookstrand. As the publishers figure out the new realities of ebooks versus paper books, I don’t think anyone knows what the pricing models should look like. My publisher makes all pricing decisions, and at this point I’m trusting them to price things where they should be. I’m happy to see my books priced a little lower, if that will put them in the hands of more people.
