New book
Alexa and I finished our new book today. Now we start editing before subbing it to Loose Id. We discovered one of the MCs had no last name today too. Heh. Now he does!
It's a different one for us; first time writing a futuristic setting on a new planet (as a team anyway) and first time with non-con elements to the BDSM. Pretty dark in places but it was interesting to go there and there's definitely a happy ending; we might have villains, but we always have a hero too.
The title is O/s.
For one hero we pictured Idris Elba and the bad guy is Richard Armitage (sorry, Richard!)

O/s by Davitt & Snow release date
O/s, our dark, futuristic, D/s novel has a release date.
It will be published by Loose Id on August 23 2016.
It's in edits right now and here's a tiny peek.
“I want him well-disciplined. You’ll have full control there.” Layne’s voice thickened, stirring an uneasy response in Brysen, half arousal, half fear. He’d been spanked before Layne, of course, but Layne was the only one who’d ever punished him. What would a whipping be like when it came from a stranger? Could he accept it gracefully, gratefully?
“He responds well to pain and humiliation. It encourages him to try harder. Leniency he mistakes for weakness, and I simply won’t have him spoiled and indulged. It’s shameful the way some owners fawn over their subs. It’s no kindness to them. They need to be thoroughly mastered if they’re to find true contentment.”
“That’s a point of view, certainly.” The sitter didn’t sound convinced. Brysen widened his eyes in shock. How would Layne react to what he’d view as insolence from Brysen?
To his surprise, Layne chuckled. “Don’t worry, I know you have to deal with all sorts on your job and stay tactful, but trust me, this is a sub you can deal with as they were meant to be treated. No need to pretend with me. A level ten isn’t squeamish, and I vetted you. Impressive credentials.”

O/s release date moved
Don't panic! It's moved forward not back :-)
O/s, the dark futuristic BDSM from Alexa and me, comes out from Loose Id on August 2 now.
We went with this sonnet to open the book. Seemed appropriate. Shakespeare sure did get to the heart of emotions.
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend
Nor services to do till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu.
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save where you are how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.
William Shakespeare, Sonnet 57.

O/s cover reveal!
We have the cover for O/s, due out from Loose Id on August 2nd. April Martinez did a wonderful job with it and it's exactly how we pictured it.
A perfect world, a future time, but there will always be predators, prey, and protectors. But what if the lines blur and the hero has a dark side waiting to come out and play?

Jax has the perfect job on the perfect world, looking after subs while their owners are away. But Brysen’s no ordinary sub and his owner Layne is a threat to the safety of every sub on the planet.
Dealing with the heartbreak of a failed relationship, Jax is slow to realize Brysen’s adoration for his stern owner passes all reason, and breaks every rule. By the time he does, there may be time to save Brysen, but in the process, Jax stands to lose everything from his job to his chance at love. Will the protective instincts that guide his actions hold steady or will the darkness Layne wakes within him prove stronger?

Content Warning
To those readers disturbed by the extreme themes in O/s we apologize for the lack of warnings. I've amended the description on GR.
We pushed our boundaries on this one, dealing with themes we haven't tackled before, but it was never our intention to force readers to do likewise.
O/s is a romance. It does have a HEA. But the two MCs go through a lot to get there and it's pretty graphic in places.

We usually pick a photo as a basis for our characters and we saw Jax like this
and Layne like this.
Brysen gets a makeover so he was more fluid in our minds. But he's super hot :-)
