All About Me and What's To Come has been an awesome feature! It's been great learning about books authors have written and what's coming from them. We're excited to have JP Kenwood here today talking about their books and what's coming up. So, check it out and be sure to enter the giveaway at the end.
Huge thanks to Meredith and Diverse Reader for the chance to
stop by and tell folks about my books. I write mm historical fantasy, a wee subgenre
within a subgenre within a subgenre.
Historical fantasy involves creating fictional characters and putting
them in a relatively accurate historical setting. For me, the fun is creating a story in a world
that has rules, and then deliberately and deliciously bending those rules. :D
My two main characters, Gaius Fabius and Allerix, never
existed at all. Totally made up lads. Being the cruel author I am, I saddled my
fictional Roman character, Gaius, with a major role in a real imperial family so
he could play with a few famous historical Romans, including Hadrian, Pliny the
Younger, and Tacitus. Readers have described my books as unexpected, original,
funny, sexy, thrilling, and heartbreaking. I’m extremely thankful to everyone who
has taken a chance on this out-of-the-box romp.
My gods, I started this journey with Gaius and Alle back in
2013. Over five long years ago!! At the
end of January, I’ll publish the third full-length novel in this four-book saga,
Blood
Before Wine. I call these books a saga instead of a series because they
are one big, long, insane story that spans over a decade of history. The same
main characters, the same crew of friends and family and enemies, reappear (and
sometimes disappear) while a few new players are thrown in here and there.
People die. People
are born. Curses fly. Love grows. Shit happens.
But Dominus is always focused on the
unlikely, lusty love story of an ambitious, ferocious Roman general and a
proud, captive Dacian prince.

Conquer. Own. Sacrifice everything.
Gaius Fabius knows a
healthy son will secure his claim to the imperial crown of Rome, but his
devotion to his Dacian pleasure slave, Allerix, threatens to topple his
political power. Determined to solve the mysterious murder of a friend, Gaius
searches for clues hidden deep in the palace that might jeopardize his future
and his family.
But while he and Allerix
share passions in and out of the bedchamber, another assassination sends Gaius
and his captured prince back to the vanquished kingdom of Dacia. In order to
protect his beloved concubine, can Gaius find the courage to sacrifice his own
heart?
Lose. Submit. Betray everyone.
Allerix knows vengeance
for the vicious destruction of his homeland is within tantalizing reach, but
only if he can convince his Roman master to trust him. When an unexpected ally
interrupts his plans, Alle sets aside his lust for revenge to embrace the
ecstasy of Gaius’s unbridled devotion.
But a surprise reunion with a childhood friend and an unforeseen
return trip to Dacia remind Allerix of all he has lost while revealing the
honor and glory that remain to be won. To earn the respect of his kinsmen, can
Alle betray the only man he has ever loved?
Dominus is a plot-packed
m/m historical fantasy set in ancient Rome during the reign of Trajan (AD
98-117). Blood Before Wine is the third book in this four-book
alternative history saga—a tumultuous adventure of forbidden love, humor,
friendship, lust, political intrigue, deception, and murder.
