Thought I’d brag a little (again) about the fact that two of eXcessica’s books have been judged as 2009 EPPIE FINALISTS!
I’m so proud I could bust-a-button. 🙂
This is the 8th year of the Eppies, and it has become a rather prestigious award in the e-publishing world.
From the EPIC (Electronically Published Internet Connection) site:
“The EPPIE Awards have been given annually since the first EPIC conference to recognize outstanding achievement in e-publishing.
EPPIEs entries are judged by volunteers, with the largest percentage of EPPIE Judges being active EPIC Members. Guest judges, all of whom are either published authors or publishing professionals, may be used as alternate judges at the EPPIE Committee’s/Chair’s discretion. After the first round of judging the works of the finalists are sent to second panel of judges and winners are selected. The winners are announced at the EPIC conference’s gala award ceremony at the annual EPICon Convention.
The 2009 EPICon will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada.”
I doubt I’ll make EPICon, but I’ll be waiting on pins and needles until March to see who wins! 🙂

— —————————
When passionate Professor Conner Devlin meets oversexed student Emma Fiore, the sparks ignite: he’ll train her to be his classroom sex slave, carrying out his every desire, while she gets to experience the forbidden pleasure of submissive love before her marriage to a dull and unfeeling man. But Emma’s sizzling and insatiable desires soon overwhelm Conner and he finds himself hopelessly in love with his young submissive. Emma accepts him as her sexual Master, but will she have him as her real-life lover?
Through the means of BDSM and the demands of extreme sex, Conner tries to break down the barriers between them and make Emma acknowledge her feelings, until one night things become too real and the games are forgotten. Conner takes Emma prisoner for real and their passions erupt in a cataclysm of raw emotion that rocks them both and fuses them in a transcendent love.
Told with intense honesty from the dominant’s point of view, A Good Student gives a rare and searing look inside a man’s heart as he’s caught in the throes of a compelling and overwhelming love and passion, all his thoughts and feelings exposed. Listening to Conner’s confessions is like having your own personal Master tell you everything he feels, with a poet’s skill and a therapist’s insight. You’ll never look at the dynamics of D/s and a man’s sexuality the same way again.
Romance at Heart Review by Rose
“Sensual, sexy, totally erotic…his characters are always punchy, up front, and delightfully real. I got wrapped up in the affaire d’coeur Elliott tells between the covers. Here we learn from a man whose life has been lacking something he was not aware of, true love and caring. (I)t is one romance on the edgy side you won’t want to miss!”
