*applause* yea!! Exciting!

I've just heard that 'The Facility Trip' is being released in the next two weeks. This is the blurb: The Facility Trip by Ansley Vaughan Guy Maltravers' life is changed forever on the day he meets Tabansi Changa. Sent by his paper to Mandisa, an east African country convulsed by civil war, Guy manages to get a facility trip up to the front. Major Changa is a moody and difficult career soldier who's uprooted himself from a comfortable job in Britain to come to the aid of his people. Changa doesn't want to be acting as nursemaid to a journalist, and he lets Guy know it. But behind the rudeness, there's a magnetism, a sense of sexual power, of which Guy, far away from his wife and children, is only too aware. When they're trapped by the rebels in a bunkhouse in the mountains, the tension between them is unleashed into shattering sexual action. Now Changa wants Guy to make up for all the time he's lost, putting Guy through a shocking baptism of fire at the notorious Boat Club. Will Guy adopt Changa's louche life-style? And what happens when they meet again, in very different circumstances? Rating: Beyond Sizzling Book Length: Novel Genre: Contemporary/Military/M/M Read excerpt http://www.freyasbower.com/excerpts/facilitytrip.html

Yes .... well .... I think 'Beyond Sizzling' just about sums that excerpt up! Well done, Lamia - it's very well written indeed. I think you're going to do very well with this - I predict big sales.

Oooh! This does sound good. Really, really good. :) And I agree with Fennie - military themes seem to be very popular at the moment.

*Fans self* This is a must read.

Thank you all very much! I've just seen the cover -- a source of great anxiety to me. And I like it! Just waiting for the all clear from FB before I post it.

Woo-hoo for you! :D I'm sure the readers are going to love it.

I just heard from the Editor in Chief of Freya's Bower that she's already made a sale on the strength of the excerpt. And the book's not out yet. I know this is small beer to you more experienced authors. But to me, it's very exciting! I have a sale! Even if nothing else happens, one person wants to buy my book... Yay! :D

'The Facility Trip' has its first review. http://romanceatheart.com/review/facilitytrip.html

Wooo! Congrats, hun!

Here's another review for 'The Facility Trip'. I'm not sure that this reviewer liked the book much, but four stars is four stars. And I'm going to use the phrase 'Not for the squeamish' in my publicity material! http://sensual.ecataromance.com/11-reviews?type=&id=634 Just going to post the others here, as I think they were originally in another forum; these aren't new ones! http://www.wildchildpublishing.com/content/view/344/101/ http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/2007/January/Rachelle-TheFacilityTrip.htm http://romanceatheart.com/review/facilitytrip.html

Congrats, hun! (Yeah, the 'not for the squeamish' bit had me chuckling.)

I kind of like a review with personality even if they don't 100% love everything :)
