Kimberly Gardner

I got a very nice review for my novel, Bound To Please from Christina at Romance Junkies.

She says in part, “Ms. Gardner has created three very distinctive and fascinating heroes. I enjoyed getting to know them. Each man brings unique strengths to the relationship. Benny, Rain, and Jason may be very different but they work well together. Things aren’t always easy between them but as they work together to overcome their problems they grow closer. I also liked the way that all three of them relate to each other individually. Benny has strong feelings for both Jason and Rain and vice versa. Their relationship is complex and very believable. BOUND TO PLEASE by Kimberly Gardner is a compelling and satisfying BDSM romance.”

I got home from RWA yesterday and found this wonderful review in my Inbox. The reviewer says in part,

“Author Kimberly Gardner weaves a tale of desperation, heartache, and the need to be accepted for who you are with skill and talent.”

Of fame …

Tonight I’m going to be reading at the Erotic Literary Salon.

http://theeroticsalon.com/

The salon is a wonderful group of erotic literature enthusiasts who meet on the third Tuesday of every month to read aloud and enjoy erotic writing. The salon is a warm and welcoming place that meets at the Bohemian Absinth Lounge, locate at 13th and Sansom St.

I’ll be reading aloud from my novel, Bound To Please, the reading to be followed by a Q&A.

I’m very excited about this event and would love to see some familiar and supportive faces in the crowd.

I just got a contract with Loose-ID, a brand new publisher for me. The story, as yet untitled, is a contemporary, novella-length work that celebrates national coming out day.

As such, the story will be available in October.

I’m really excited to be part of the LI family of authors.

I have an author interview over at Jessewave’s site. She and Jenre came up with some great questions for me. Hope you’ll check it out.

Well, okay, not me, but my book is in the library in Australia. How cool is that?

Big thanks to Charlie Cochrane for letting me know about this. *mwah*

My new novel, Bound To Please, got a terrific review from Jenre over at WellRead. She says in part,

”

If you’re looking for an excellent example of a m/m/m ménage book and like BDSM, then you can’t go wrong with this book. I could barely stand to put it down and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Highly recommended with a grade of ‘Excellent’.”

There is a very nice review posted over at Jessewave’s blog for our brand new anthology Encore! Encore! Jenre is very complimentary about all three stories and gives the antho as a whole 4.5 stars. About my story, His Leading Man, she says in part,

“One thing I particularly liked about this story is the way that David’s character is developed from the previous story. Although we get both hero’s point of view, there is just as much page time devoted to David than the flasher and more outgoing Kieran. This meant that I really felt like I got to know David, to understand his reasons for acting the way that he does and his remorse and sadness over the break-up between him and Kieran.”
