Ebook Giveaway: How the Other Half Lives by Clare London [CONTEST CLOSED]

83 Comments

Many thanks to Clare London for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m romance, How the Other Half Lives, for a lucky commenter to win! How the Other Half Lives will be released by Amber Allure on February 6.

Martin Harrison keeps himself to himself and his flat as neat as a new pin. His friends want him to loosen up and enjoy more of a social life, but in Martin’s mind, that’s tantamount to opening the floodgates to emotional chaos. However, he agrees to join the flat-sitting scheme in his building. He’ll look after another tenant’s flat in exchange for a similar watch over his, when he’s traveling with his work as an antiques dealer.

A floor away in the same building, Russ McNeely is happy with his life as a freelance cook and a self-confessed domestic slob. His best friend Don persuades him to join the flat-sitting scheme, both to be neighborly and to help keep his flat in order, as Russ also travels with his work.

For a while, the very dissimilar men never actually meet. Martin is horrified at the mess at Russ’ flat, while Russ finds Martin’s minimalist style creepy. But in a spirit of generosity, each of them starts to help the other out by rearranging things in their own inimitable way. Gradually, the changes extend beyond interior decoration and into the habits of the men themselves.

Until the day a hiccup in the schedule brings them face to face at last.

About Clare

Clare took the pen name London from the city where she lives, loves, and writes. A lone, brave female in a frenetic, testosterone-fueled family home, she juggles her writing with the weekly wash, waiting for the far distant day when she can afford to give up her day job as an accountant. She’s written in many genres and across many settings, with novels and short stories published both online and in print. She says she likes variety in her writing while friends say she’s just fickle, but as long as both theories spawn good fiction, she’s happy. Most of her work features male/male romance and drama with a healthy serving of physical passion, as she enjoys both reading and writing about strong, sympathetic and sexy characters.

Clare currently has several novels sulking at that tricky chapter 3 stage and plenty of other projects in mind… she just has to find out where she left them in that frenetic, testosterone-fueled family home.

All the details and free fiction are available at her website. Visit her today and say hello!

You can also visit Clare at her blog, on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, GoodReads, and the GLBT Wiki.

  10. Oh, pick me please oh random number generator!

    And it is a good thing that the kitties don’t sleep with you, or you would be in danger by that face. If my kitty gave me that look, I would be adding a lock to our door (the door is definitely not kitty proof now).

  43. I like how Clare writes, although I prefer her more ‘serious’ books (Freeman is permanently on my best list). But, there’s always a place for a nice, light read, so count me in.

    My god, how much I WANT a cat! Never a dull moment. XD

  48. I love Clare’s writing so I definitely want to be counted in for this. I also like the m/m Odd Couple sound to the storyline.
