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.”

I’m delighted to announced that I just got a contract for the second book written in the Phoenix Rising universe. The working title is Bound To Please and it’s Benny and Jason’s story.

MLR is the publisher and, though I don’t have a release date yet, I’m hoping for early summer.

Phoenix got another fantastic review. This one from Teresa at Fallen Angel. She says in part,

“Ms. Gardner has created an incredible story that portrays the coming out of one man and how those people around him effect the decisions he makes I his life. The plot line of the story was very compelling from the start keeping the reader riveted to see what would happen next. I loved how Adam refused to give up in spite of the odds that were against him. Jimmy always believed the good I people and when things turned for the worst, he still tried to do his best. Daren with his many flaws is a fascinating character to read. In all, I found this book an incredible read and would definitely recommend it to others to read. Thanks go to Ms. Gardner for a remarkable story.”

I’m thrilled by the wonderful reviews Phoenix Rising has been getting. Here’s another one from Jessewave’s blog. She says in part,

“The sex scenes in the book were some of the hottest and most sensuous that I have read in quite some time and Kimberly Gardner does what a lot of writers can’t seem to be able to do – she does not let the sex overpower the story and seems to know instinctively that the story and the characters are what make a book stand out in this overcrowded genre. Not only can she write a great sex scene but she can write a terrific book!”

WooHoo! Read the review in its entirety.
