Mick and Cyn have a very different kind of "meet cute," involving a cemetery, a cop at a pivotal moment in his career, a drunk, angry woman, and a sparring match where anything goes. Want to read it?
AT HER PLEASURE releases November 30, but you can reserve your copy now! The print copy will become available for purchase a few days before the ebook release date. I'll have the link for you around that time and will announce it on all social media platforms when it goes live.
Remember, while ALL of them can standalone, there are currently THREE other books in the Mistresses of the Board Room series. Enjoy them before Cyn's story releases in November!
I'm getting very excited about sharing this book with you all. I've finished the initial draft and am on the first edit round. It's come in at 450 pages, around my normal original draft length, though I'm guessing it will be a little longer by the final.
Last month, I provided you the link to the printable checklist for the Vampire Queen series reading order. Would you like the same for the Nature of Desire series? Here you go! A printable checklist to keep track of the Nature of Desire series books and novellas you've already read, plan to read, or need to buy. The books are listed in the reading order in which I wrote them. Also included is a list of the downloadable FREE Bonus Content stories/novellas from the series, so you can make sure you have all of those as well. Many thanks again to Lara Adrian for the concept. She did this for her wonderful Midnight Breed series.
Note: I've also included character interviews that have been done over the years for members of this series. I didn't do that for the Vampire Queen series checklist initially, but never fear! I went back in and updated the VQS checklist with those, so if you want to re-upload, feel free!
I plan to do one of these lists for my Knights of the Board Room series when I have time. But remember, if you ever want a MASTER booklist of all my titles, divided by series, in chronological order, all you have to do is visit my website, click on the Books menu item (click ON it, not the drop down menu) and it will take you to that list!
I had the pleasure of being a guest on a podcast and a YouTube channel this month. Would you like to listen in and/or watch? Here's a brief recap and links for each:
"LET'S TALK ABOUT THE THORN, INSTEAD OF THE ROSE" - At the "Magical Unicorns" MUG Authors channel, Jon Kirsch, Gail McAbee and I discussed power-exchange relationships and why they fascinate so many. "Even in the most erotic fiction, does emotional growth supersede the physical in order to drive the story? Joey helps us unravel some misconceptions about bdsm fiction, offers insights on the writing process and obstacles to writing, and so much more." We also talked about our respective journeys in writing. One delightful note - Gail McAbee was the editor for my VERY FIRST published book back in 2000, a fantasy romance called Guardians of the Continuum (my early 'tucked in a drawer' book that all authors seem to have).
BDSM ROMANCE AT THE SEXUALITY SPACE - I also joined Dr. Donna Jennings, author, educator and host at the Sexuality Space (https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheSexualitySpace) and fellow author Mischa Eliot for a chat. You don't have to be on Twitter to listen. Donna archives all her programs, and when you click this link mine is about the second one down (look for August 16 date). Donna is a North Carolina girl like me, and we’re both interested in how our sexual attitudes shape our erotic stories. Our conversation went a lot of fun places.
Reminding you all about my audiobooks is giving me the chance to revisit some of the graphics I've done for them, including this one for Knights of the Board Room! Most of my Nature of Desire series is also available in this format, plus several of the Vampire Queen series and Naughty Bits. Skim the full library here.
THANK YOU for the many ways you all support my work, not only by purchasing my books, but by spreading the love to other readers, through reviews or direct recommendation in online groups or one-on-one to friends and family. It ALL helps!!

2023 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
No conferences this year, but look under the Extra Stuff section for ways to get a signed book or swag from me anyway!
Want a Kindle signature? My books are listed at the Authorgraph site, so if you'd like a "Kindlegraph", send me a request! Just go to Authorgraph.com, put Joey W. Hill in the search line, and it will pull up my books, with a "Request Authorgraph" button beneath each.
Want a signed bookplate for your print book and a bookmark? No need to be bummed about not seeing me at a book signing. Just shoot me an email at storywitch@PROTECTED with your mailing address and the title(s) of the book(s) for which you want a signature, and I'll send you personalized bookplates anytime, free of charge. And I always send it with a signed bookmark!
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE AUTHOR'S WEBSITE?
I am ALWAYS delighted to hear from my readers, and I never mind answering your questions. However, about 90% of the general questions I receive on email can be quickly answered on my website, www.storywitch.com. And the cool thing is you get your answer in the time it takes you to do a couple clicks, versus having to type up your question and send it to me, then wait for me to emerge from my writing cave and check my email.
A lot of authors experience this now. Because we have so much more of a presence at FB, Twitter, and the like, it's easy to forget that most authors still maintain a website where you can quickly get info. On my site, you can not only find BLURBS and FREE EXCERPTS for every book I've published, you can find SERIES ORDER, including recommendations on which ones can stand alone or need specific titles to be read first. Under the In the Works page, you'll find information about UPCOMING RELEASES and what's percolating (the popular "will you ever write a book about so-n-so" question would be answered there).
Just go to my website, storywitch.com, and enjoy your visit. It is specifically and deliberately designed not to be flashy or confusing. Just look at the drop down menus at the top for what you're seeking.
Want a SIGNED BOOKMARK? I have seven beautiful bookmarks, each design representing one of my series: Knights of the Board Room, Nature of Desire, Vampire Queen, Arcane Shot, Daughters of Arianne, Mistresses of the Board Room, and Naughty Bits. You can look at them here (click on the one you like for a larger view).
Just shoot me an email at storywitch@storywitch.com with your mailing address and tell me which bookmark you want. I'll send you two of that design - one for you and one to share! And yes, I WILL mail bookmarks to international readers. NOTE: some of these show previous cover editions, but hopefully that doesn't detract from their appeal!
Want a SIGNED BOOK? Bummed because you can't make it to a signing? Just email me at storywitch@storywitch.com with 1) what book you want, 2) your mailing address, and 3) if you want me to personalize it to a particular name (Mary, Marie, Marissa, etc), or no personalization, just a signature and a cheery note. I'll shoot you an invoice and, once that's squared away, the book will be on its way to you!
Want a SIGNED BOOKPLATE? Want a bookplate for your favorite JWH book(s)? Just shoot me an email at storywitch@storywitch.com with your mailing address, the title(s) of the book(s), and I'll send you personalized bookplates anytime, free of charge. And I always send it with a signed bookmark!
Want to read BONUS CONTENT STORIES revisiting Joey's characters? She has over a dozen FREE novellas/shorts with easy BookFunnel download links. You'll find them all under the Cantrips (Vignettes) menu item on her website.
Want Joey to visit your BOOKCLUB? She is available for online bookclub meetings and even sometimes in-person clubs, within a reasonable geographic range. Don't hesitate to ask! Just email her at storywitch@storywitch.com.

DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE?
Responding to my readers, and doing so in a very timely manner (within 24-48 hours), is extremely important to me. So if you have sent a communication to me in any medium noted above and have not received a response, a technical glitch has occurred. Either your communication did not get through to me, or my response did not reach you. If you suspect that's the case, use one of the alternative methods to send me a "Hey, Joey, I sent you a note through email (or social media platform, etc). Did you get it?" message, and we'll make sure we sort it out. I will never intentionally ignore my readers!
HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING MY NEWSLETTER PAST YOUR SPAM FILTER? - Whenever I issue a newsletter, I will post about it on the social media platforms mentioned above, to ensure it reaches the widest number of people possible. So if you're following me on any of them, you'll get a heads up. Or you can put https://storywitch.com/newsletter/?latest as one of your Favorite links. You can click on it anytime to see if a new newsletter has been released. I try to get a new issue out during the first 7 days of every month.
HELP ME WITH FOLLOWS/REVIEWS
NEVER an obligation, but when you follow or review me on Bookbub, Amazon or both, it increases my books' visibility and marketing options on those sites. And in return, you get a heads up about releases and sales!
