Welcome to my little share of the dreamscape – visit me at www.chrissymunder.com
Only one more day left in this month! That means a new Dreamspinner Press newsletter will be coming out soon. Never fear, there’s still time to read my BDSM-themed quickie in the Dreamspinner Press July Newsletter. If you haven’t signed up to have the newsletter delivered to your inbox just click here and enjoy.
In keeping with DSP’s Holiday Sale, here’s an excerpt from Santa’s Little Helper, one of my favorite holiday stories. Rob is such a feisty character.
Summary: Left in the lurch without a Santa, Rob grabs a gorgeous guy he sort-of recognizes from the office to wear the red suit, and it’s immediate attraction on both their parts. But Rob’s ex, John, knows something important about the jolly ol’ fellow, something he hopes doesn’t ruin the holiday magic.

Dreamspinner Press is continuing its month-long sale. This week’s special is Christmas* in July! All Holiday eBooks 20% off and on sale through July 31st – 11:59 GMT
*plus all other holidays because they were feeling festive
Here’s a quick look at some of my Holiday shorts on sale now:
A Gift of Ash and Frost – When new residents come to the Grange, Mathias applies for a job at the house and is hired on at the housekeeper’s request for the Christmas season. He finds there a temptation of the body and heart in the form of the house’s master, one that he is ill-equipped to handle or resist … not that he has the desire to do so.
A Halloween Tail – When Lionel gets strong-armed into baby sitting and taking his niece trick-or-treating, he suffers the humiliation of the big purple costume and follows through. Little did he know that the hideous purple tail would catch the attention of the one black-dressed man he couldn’t resist.
Giving Gifts – Seth is having a scarily good time at the office Christmas party this year. He owes it all to his hoped-for boyfriend, Oscar, who turned him into a carefree programmer from an uptight nerd. If Mr. Saroc, the company CEO’s assistant, would quit dogging his steps at work, Seth believes his happiness with Oscar will be complete in time for kissing under the mistletoe.
Season’s Greetings – Roses are red. Violets are blue. If I ever got my hands on your fine ass, oh baby, the things I would do. Russ Manners writes greeting cards for a living, except Christmas is fast approaching, there’s no snow, and he’s fallen behind on his big Easter Card project. He’s blaming the new guy, Ian Fiorillo, because ever since Ian was hired, Russ spends all his time writing bad Valentine rhymes to Ian’s best asset. What Russ doesn’t realize is that Ian would love to help him appreciate the wonders of Christmas in Florida.
Santa’s Little Helper – Left in the lurch without a Santa, Rob grabs a gorgeous guy he sort-of recognizes from the office to wear the red suit, and it’s immediate attraction on both their parts. But Rob’s ex, John, knows something important about the jolly ol’ fellow, something he hopes doesn’t ruin the holiday magic.
Buy! Read! Enjoy!
Take a fab, silver-throated British author, mix her up with a perky, American author with a penchant for the mutant species of the week and what do you get?
Coming August 18th – it’s the Clare and Chrissy Show.
Another Thursday already? Time flies! Today’s excerpt is from Just a Little Romance. I know most people go to a casino to relax and have fun. I find myself far more fascinated by the security measures than I do the actual gaming. How about you? Do you look up at the ceiling and count the cameras? Do you look for the ones that are hidden? Can you guess just who in the crowd around you is undercover security?
Summary: Valentine’s Day isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you’re alone and working in the midst of happy (and unhappy) couples in a casino. Jeremiah is stuck between working a double shift, loneliness, his best friend’s little sister out to snare him, and a wish for a little romance. Little does he know that the dreaded “holiday” just might end up a little better than expected.

Clare and Chrissy. We’re coming August 18th – will you be ready?
Happy Monday world! I had one of those amazing weekends with an unexplained explosion of website hits. You know, the ones that make you wonder what you did when really, you were off in no-phone, no-television and no-computer land. Note to self: must do that more often.
Excerpt Thursday’s continue with this clip from: A Gift of Ash and Frost.
This short story kept wanting to be longer. The two main characters were fascinating, as were the rest of the men in the household. Perhaps someday I’ll get a chance to go back and explore their story further.
Summary: When new residents come to the Grange, Mathias applies for a job at the house and is hired on at the housekeeper’s request for the Christmas season. He finds there a temptation of the body and heart in the form of the house’s master, one that he is ill-equipped to handle or resist … not that he has the desire to do so.

Excerpt Thursdays! Recently I’ve received some email requests for excerpts of my older work. Thus is born “Excerpt Thursdays” where I will highlight excerpts from my backlist.
I’m starting off with Business Before Pleasure. This short story in particular was a joy to write. The emotions in the opening scene left me feeling very raw after writing it. And I couldn’t help but adore Bruce/Brian/Bryce and his masterful way of handling Joel!
