Blood Roses by Angelia Sparrow

The yellow fever is raging, and lovers are parted by half a world, but as long as the roses bloom, there is hope. It's when they stop blooming...

Not Always As It Seems by Syble Baker

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and knowing too much about your lover only leads to heartbreak.

Persephone Is Bleeding by S. Zanne

What if Persephone was not a person but a title, the lover of the Lord of Hell? And Clay, seventh in that post, is discovering exactly what it means.

The Graveyard Angel by Shenoa Carroll-Bradd

October aboard the Airship


It's the most wonderful time of the year. The leaves are gorgeous, the weather is perfect and the sky is an endless blue.

And we are very very busy aboard the Inkstained Succubus.

We had a wonderful time at ContraFlow in New Orleans this past weekend. The people who run this show are wonderful, warm and accommodating. The panels were delightful, and the audiences asked good questions. The attendees showed a wide and amazing variety of costumes and creativity. The 501st was out. I completely recommend this convention to anyone in reasonable distance!

Our display continues to improve. 















K9 broke down (for real, he had to go home on a scooter cart because his wheels refused) so the Doctor spent most of Saturday trying to repair him.

















Gabriel appears to be ready to hitch a ride to adventure and trouble. It's okay. The Doctor will have zir home before they left.



And of course, New Orleans, so foooooood! We had pork chops and catfish, cheesey pasta with shrimp and fried mushrooms and okra, crawfish pie and shrimp po'boys.


So that was the fun part of October.

Now, it's work time.

Hungry Hearts WILL be out this month. It is in formatting, which means chaining Gabriel to a work table.

Candle in the Dark has been accepted, contracted and is going out to the editor. We plan to have it out in early November for holiday giving.

Nikolai Revenant is now full price. We gave away 248 copies of it. Reviews are welcome

"Diplomacy and Universal Constants" just came out. If you like your science fiction with a side of swashbuckling, give this one a try.

In order to do all this, we will be hard at it.

E-mails will be responded to relatively promptly (allow 3 days, please. I am on a grueling day job schedule).
If you submitted something in the last month, you will be hearing soon.


So, look for us at ConTraception in Independence MO on November 7-9!

It was a very slow quarter. Quarter Four has almost matched it already.

Tell people about your books.
Remind them that paperbacks make great holiday gifts,

We have one more convention on the calendar and a second possible one.

Keep at it, guys!

New Release: Diplomacy and Universal Constants

We are pleased to announce Mihai Calugareanu's debut novella,




Legatus Tetradec Sarutahiko is a diplomat valued by the Solarian command for his uncanny ability to see through any pretense and most manipulation. When discovering that the alien Asimi have peculiar methods of doing business, Sarutahiko and his cadet must either find a way to work around this or fail both himself and his people.

$2.50 in .pdf, .eub,, or .mobi


Your captain says:
This is a rollicking bit of space adventure. I like Mihai's vision of the far future, which is very different, yet somehow familiar, from grumpy alien cab drivers to harried secretaries.

My Sexy Saturday: Sexy Into You

How about the characters that are over the top about each other, regardless of the situation? The ones who can never keep their hands off one another. The ones you know will be that little old couple you see at the park, still holding hands after 50 years. It’s those couples we are talking about this week.

Since it's what we're promoting: Nikolai Revenant

Free for the taking at http://brooksandsparrow.com/NikolaiRevenant.pdf
(contact us at inkstainedsuccubus @ gmail for .mobi or .epub)



“James?” A low tenor voice rang out from the elevator as a blonde man in attractive wire-frame glasses, apparently not much older than Nick by his looks, came in and dropped an army duffel next to the elevator carelessly. He strode in, clearly knowing his way around, and headed straight for Ligatos.

Ligatos smiled and stood up, his arms wide. “Anthony. What brings you home so soon? I didn't expect to see you until I went to Italy.” His voice changed and Nick could imagine the worry on his face. “You aren't in disgrace, are you?”

The man took James in his arms, cradling him. “No, no, lover, nothing like that. I could never dishonor Master mine like that.” He smiled and kissed Ligatos. “I heard you were hurt, and threatened to disassemble all of Master Michelino's machines trying to find a way to weld together an airplane unless they sent me back to see you for a day or two.” He made a face. “Scratchy. You grew a beard, lover.”

Nick hid a smile at that. He didn't know what Anthony was talking about, but the sheer love behind the statement pleased him. He stayed on the floor, not looking up. Anthony didn't sound like a slave or servant, despite his use of ‘Master.’

“A change was necessary. I like the look of it. The injury was nothing, an expected part of the training.” Ligatos put both hands on either side of Anthony's face and kissed him passionately. “If you have one day, tonight is mine.”

Anthony quirked a grin. “Nah. I thought I'd stay up all night and go roller-blading.” He laughed. “Of course tonight is yours, James. More if I'm given it, and damn the consequences. I might shave you, though.”

Nick forgot himself and watched. Ligatos wasn't like this with anyone else, and no one he knew would speak so. This must be the missing team member David had told him of. The look of pure desire on Ligatos' face made him ache with wanting the man. But he hadn't earned that and thought of smooth concrete until it passed.

A Free Book for the asking

Some years back, I wrote a book called Nikolai.  Things have changed, and Nikolai was looking a little dated. So with the aid of Gabriel Belthir, I rewrote Nikolai, changing things I had never been happy with and setting up for the forthcoming books.

This is for you loyal readers who have copies, and for new readers interested in our work. If you've played in the Eight Thrones universe, or listened to me ramble, or whatever.

Nikolai Revenant, the rewritten Nikolai, is currently free for the month of September. Anthony, the prequel, will be out soon.

To get a .mobi or .epub copy, drop an email to inkstainedsuccubus at gmail.

We love you, our faithful fanbase, and hope you will join us on the journey to finish the series.
