10) Tell us about your latest release
Golden is a romp: a love at first sight story for a dragon queen's least-favored harem boy and the disreputable merchant adventurer who's thrown in his path. I've heard from some readers that they worried (or maybe hoped?) that the harem setting would mean that it was full-on erotica, but it's definitely more of a romance with a dash of adventure, though there's some nice heat as well. It's written as a standalone, but I'll admit I've been brainstorming possible future escapades for Elin and Hathar so this may not be the last we hear of them.

Harem boy might not be the most appropriate role for someone who’s never really seen the appeal of sex, but Elin’s status as dahabi: golden in a land of tan and brown, has marked him for The Dragon’s service since birth. He’s content enough with his life of uncomplicated, if restrictive, luxury, until an unremarkable chore becomes a case of love at first sight.
Mysterious newcomer Hathar, a roguish “merchant adventurer” from far-off lands, ignites an exploration of Elin’s first taste of physical desire, as well as a desire to experience life beyond the palace. Now, they must find a way to escape before Hathar’s ship departs, stranding them forever in The Dragon’s harem.
RL Mosswood lurks in the depths of the Pacific Northwest rainforest, where they dabble in queer fiction in an attempt to add a little magic to their otherwise mundane existence.
