April talks about some of her books:

"Chasing the Trickster is Book One of the Cernunnos Series.
Ghostly images materialize in Nina Weaver's photos. Goons try to kidnap her. When her photographs are stolen and her best friend is shot, she realizes that she has no one to turn to but her ex-lover, Pascal "Goofy" Guzman. Together they go on a desperate road trip in search of answers. The truth is darker and more terrifying than Nina could ever have imagined. After their love re-ignites, they fall into the Trickster God's trap.
These characters return in St. Nick’s Favor: Book Two of the Cernunnos Series
St. Nicholas asks Nina Weaver to be his emissary. Her mission is to take a one-way trip five years into her past to save the lives of thousands of children. Doing this will result in her losing the life she has built in New York City, including her relationship with Pascal Guzman. Nina faces down corporate greed, attempts on her life and the terrors of the Trickster God to keep her promise.

The Fairy Cake Bake Shoppe: And 13 Other Weird Tales
Sexbots threaten to destroy a marriage. A half-alien embryo remains the only hope for the human race. Tempting cupcakes that aren't just bad for your waistline, but may result in permanent injury. Welcome to the realm of April Grey. Steampunk Zombies, The HG Avenger, Nefarious Chihuahuas, Lothario Dolphins, and many other bizarre characters lurk in these short stories.

I'll Love You Forever:: Weird Love Tales
What is love? In the eye of the beholder or something more? A fastidious housewife wishes her dead husband wasn't quite so devoted. A dying writer finds salvation in one of her characters. A mobster discovers that he isn't as tough as he thought. And a folklore spell teaches a young woman that monsters are most often found in our own minds.
These tales about love, twisted from what you'd expect, shows the many turns true love can take.

Hell's Garden: Mad, Bad and Ghostly Gardeners
Six talented writers explore the various paths Evil can take when in Hell's Garden. Featuring tales by Rayne Hall, Heather Holland Wheaton, Jonathan Broughton, Mark Cassell, Eric Dimbleby and Jeff Hargett. Edited by April Grey.

I am currently revising my first horror novel, Griffit City. I am also editing Hell’s Grannies: Kickass Tales of the Crone.

I'm currently in the process of writing a supernatural Regency novel, Quicksilver Moonlight, think Jane Eyre and werewolves. And after that I plan to write the third book of the Cernunnos Series,Cernunnos Unleashed."

The Garden, HELP!!, and the YGroup.

The Masque is... busy! I'm adding yet another site to the The Masque/The WIKtT Archives/Goddess Masks network!

This section is entitled The Garden and will be exclusively for and about BDSM-D/s-Gor-Fetish information for the curious and expert. It will in the same format as TM and TWA. I haven't decided that there will be a chat connected yet, but there will hopefully be a forum/BBS.

That being said, I need HELP. I need a couple of admins for the site. It's not much work, but it's more than I can handle on my own now. There's no validation involved, but there is some posting help required on the site and on the various networking pages that support the site, so you need to know efiction, FB, LJ, and YGroups. It requires about an hour a week, total, usually much less, but certainly more if you're bored.

Also, I wanted to let everyone know that (as you may have seen) the Yahoo group is being attacked by a spammer. I'm not sure how it's getting into the group, but it's not from a fellow member. The measure that I am taking to stop the madness is to make the entire group moderated. I'll have to approve each note that comes into the group, so if it takes me a couple days, I apologize. You're more than welcome to send me a heads up to get over and do it through my site email.

Amanda Hawthorne is a young tourist in the Republic of Roissy, but she is found guilty of shoplifting. Result: she is sentenced to a year in Roissy's dreaded "Women's Special Prison." Stripped nude--for all female prisoners in this special prison are nude--and chained, in the hands of grey-haired Matron Marie, Amanda is introduced to the ways of the Prison, and to a few of the other naked prisoners, and what they are suffering. There is Annette, who is a Returnee--one year wasn't enough to teach her to obey her husband; there is Lucie, hugely pregnant by the Warden; there is Angelique, being taught to orgasm on command; there is Mari-Ange, who dared to talk back to a guard; and there is Mona-Lisa, who is receiving a very special humiliation. Nude Amanda is horrified--and yet, something stirs deep inside of her...

The Creation of Man and Space. A Heavenly Host story. This story is a puzzle. Do you understand? Reply in reviews, please.

A few years ago, TheMasque had a Ning group that was quite active. On it, we had little challenges to write ficlets or drabbles from photos or genre/word challenges (i.e. paranomal thriller/toast - now you write a paranormal thriller about toast). Anyone interested in doing that again?

We're starting up the UnMasqued interviews again Andone is in charge of them this time. Interested in being interviewed about your writing or artwork? Andy would love to talk to you! Smack me in an email for details.

A Contract is Sealed in al-Dakar by aewriter 4 - Wanton
http://bit.ly/1jrcJof
This story is a second "prequel" to "An Afternoon in the Harem" (published December 1). It deals with events two years after the scenes in "Emily and the Prince" the first "prequel", published January 10). In this story, the two British oilmen from "Emily" are signing a new, second oil contract with Prince Ahmad. It is two years later, but as before, the contract is sealed in a very special way--through mutual use of the Prince's naked pleasure-girls. Three naked fuck-girls are offered to the two British oilmen; they can choose two to use, and the girl they reject will be severely punished. One girl is a naked Arab pleasure-slave with a special relationship to Prince Ahmad. One girl is a newly-captured American girl, desperate to escape the humiliations and punishments of the pleasure-harems of al-Dakar. The third girl is...Emily Forrester-Clarke, the lovely Lady Emily. After two years naked in the pleasure-harems, she has...changed.

The Masque is once again proud to be home to Goddess Masks, the newly redesigned site for owner and mask maker Christy Walton.
