Hey everyone!
The REC Awards are up and running for the month of November. I saw that 2 of my Dreamspinner Press books are up for awards: my main character from Right Side of the Tracks, Russell Drake, is up for sexy male lead and my short story, By the Moonlight is up for paranormal short. Papa knows Best, from Phaze, is also nominated for best erotic novel.
Please go by and support the awards so that they will continue next year. Thanks!

Older Men: Love them!
Jaxx Steele here to give you my take on older men. I wanted to take this moment to give props to sexy older men. The man that is aging like fine wine, getting sexier with age, your Sean Connerys, Mark Harmons, Samuel Jacksons and Antonio Banderas’ of the world.I write romances and work really hard trying to bring out my characters inner as well as outer beauty. Most of my characters are, although it is not stated you get the impression, in their mid twenties to mid thirties. I have also written a few May-December type romances. To date my biggest seller has been a May-December romance called Papa knows Best. In this book the pros and cons of being with an older man are highlighted. As a lover of older men I want to spotlight them and all of the beauty that comes with them.
The physical beauty of a younger man is one of his assets, a prize possession, but what else does he have going for him. I am not trying to down play the younger man, but if physical beauty fades with time and that’s all you have, well…
With an older man who is healthy in mind, body and spirit there is nothing he can’t do! He has gone though most of the changes men go through to make them men. He is less likely to change on you. What you get when you got there is what you keep. LOL Father Time has been kind to him because he remains active and lives for the day. He appreciates the days he has and lives them to the fullest. He has no problem teaching you new things and welcomes the challenge of learning new things from you. They are intelligent and worldly. His graying hair looks distinguished on him and ups his sexiness tenfold. As far as physical beauty goes, he may not possess that six pack he used to at twenty five, but at forty five he is in good shape and shows appreciation for your six pack! And Lordy! Let’s not forget the few who do still have the body they had at twenty five! Can you say HOT! Who could want anything else in a man?
I would love to read more gay romance spot lighting handsome older men. I have seen some outstanding men in their forties, just reaching their prime. Do you write about them? Let me know so I can read it and if you want to read them, check out my website and pick up one of my books. Until next time… Jaxx Steele has left the building.

Three new releases while I was off line
While I was offline I had 3 new releases that Honey Bunny did a great job promoting, but I wanted to make sure those who follow my blog saw them as well.
Book II in the Dreams Delivered series.
Simon Says- Ahh (available at Phaze)
Simon Woo came into his fortune early in life and had single-hood forced upon him to protect the company's image. He had returned home to America for meetings, after living in Hong Kong for the last five years and reconnected with his childhood friend Benji. Although Simon and Benji haven't seen each other but once in those five years, Benji always knew what his friend Simon needed...and his friend needed some stress relief.
Hot Summer Nights (available at Red Rose Publishing)
Soren Cannon and his best friend Mercedes are die hard Rocko fans. They have the opportunity to follow him all summer as he toured the neighboring states. At each one of the concerts Soren found that it was easy to be seduced when the beautiful, soulful music of Rocko provided the back drop.
A Knight at The Speedway (available at Phaze)
Khristopher Knight was a professional motorcycle rider. It was the greatest day of his life when he qualified for that inaugural race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway until he realized he had no one to share it with.
Artis Kent had not seen Kris since they were in college together. The race at the Speedway was the first in 100 years. With his ticket he would have the chance to meet the riders and maybe open the lines of communication again.
When Kris and Artis met up again, Artis had no idea that his world would soar to the heavens, crash to the depths of hell and then soar to the sky once more all in the span of 30 days. Can Artis's calm laid back life handle a love affair with the fast paced Kristopher Knight? Or will there be too many crash and burns for Artis to handle?

Where is Jaxx Steele?
I have the perfect contest to celebrate my return to 'the net'. While I was computerless for those three months the wonderful people at Honey Bunny Promotions kept my stories active with their great promotion skills. Because of those skills my inbox was filled with questions, most about my books: how I do I come up with ideas, have I been to the places I write about and stuff about the characters. Those are normal, I expect them, but the few that came in about me threw me for a loop. People want to know what I look like!
So, with that in mind I came up with this contest:
Where is Jaxx Steele!
While I was gone I had a few video trailers of my books made. I am in one of them. I invite you to view the videos and find me. Tell me the book and who my picture represents.
Send your answers to this email:jaxxsteele@gmail.com and you will be entered into the hat to win a Jaxx Steele logo mug and pen.
(Not extremely expensive but a good conversation piece at best.)
The contest will run from October 13th to October 31st.
Here is the link to my videos and good luck!

The return of Jaxx Steele!
This summer, to my dismay, my laptop hit the floor and went to laptop heaven. It has taken me much longer than I expected to get a new one and still eat and pay bills on time. But, nevertheless, even though I felt the passage of time one second at a time, it is all over now. I have finally gotten a new one and will return to the online world full time in less than 48 hours! I can't wait to update and catch you all up on what has gone on while I was missing in action.
Talk more later!
