Synopsis
Calling His Bluff by BA Tortuga
After his twin dies in battle, it’s
Patrick Daniels’ duty to marry his brother’s fiancée. Too bad he can’t make
himself do it, and in his distress, he manifests a psychic talent that’s
stronger than the tornadoes in his native East Texas. Then a mysterious man
from a place called Club Raven steps in and sweeps Patrick off to the booming
East Coast city of Baltimore.
Club Raven veteran Remy Blanchard
sees Patrick and knows, even though Patrick is very ill, that this is the
challenge he’s been waiting for. He nurses Patrick back to health, and begins
to teach Patrick to control his talent. His methods might be unconventional,
and Patrick might be new to the kinds of sexual games Remy knows best, but the
two of them find something in each other that might be just as magical as the
gentleman’s club where they meet.
Happy Medium by Julia Talbot
Andrew is out to debunk Max as a
medium, not make love to him...
Max Bellame is working his way
through 1870s Baltimore as a medium, even if he knows nothing about spirits. He
uses the power of his mind to move objects, convincing his clients he's the
real thing.
Andrew Meechum works for Club Raven,
a gentleman's club that doubles as a paranormal research facility. He sets out
to debunk Max, only to be fascinated by the man. Can Andrew convince Max to
take a chance on love, and to find his true calling as a medium, or will their
personal demons force them apart?
Wishful Thinking by Kiernan Kelly
Tony Brazzio, co-owner of Club
Raven, Baltimore's premiere men's club in 1875, has a pocketful of cash and a
chip on his shoulder. He’s out to prove to his co-owners -- and himself -- that
he’s not a fluke, that anyone can be successful give the opportunity, no matter
how poor his beginnings.
Bull O’Brian and Dandy Gilroy are
two hoodlums from the rough streets of New York’s Five Points. They’re
pickpockets by trade, and both possess psychic talents that make them two of
the best. When Tony offers to bring them to Baltimore and give them the chance
at a life of riches in polite society, they jump at the chance, if only to
steal the members of Club Raven blind.
The best of plans rarely work the
way they’re intended, and things swiftly go from bad to worse for Dandy and
Bull. There’s murder afoot and a detective on their trail, and not even copious
amounts of hot, sweaty sex can ease their fear or guilt.
As for Tony, he’s faced with
admitting his experiment is a failure, something he’s loathe to do. It’ll take
a great deal of persuasion, a little luck, and a lot of lube to make sure his
plans for Dandy and Bull become more than just wishful thinking.

Hey, y’all!
I’m Julia Talbot, and I’m here to talk about my new release,
Happy Medium, which is part of the Club Raven series. It’s a hot m/m historical
and paranormal book about a fake medium and the man who sets out to debunk him,
but falls in love with him instead.
I’ve been fascinated with gentlemen’s clubs for years and
years. When I was thirteen or so I read my first regency era (though it was not
at all a demure regency) romance. The hero went to his club, wrote things in
the betting books, got challenged to a duel… I was enthralled. Fast forward a
few years to college where I was a double major in English Lit and History. I
studied early coffee houses and literary salons, as well as the more
traditional White’s and the Athenaeum Club. While many of these clubs now allow
women, in the 1870s, a club was a place for gentlemen to meet and chat, to
conduct business and play cards. They did have membership requirements, as well
as annual meetings, as well.
When Kiernan Kelly and BA Tortuga and I began to talk about
adding yet another shared universe to our writing pool, I was tickled to death
when everyone agreed to a gentleman’s club.
We tossed around the idea of setting it in London, but we
really wanted to capture the spiritualist movement, as well as the unique setting
of post civil war Baltimore, which was something of a boomtown in the 1870s.
What makes Club Raven unique is the paranormal aspect. All
of the core members of the club, the ones who would attend an annual meeting,
have some sort of psychic or paranormal power.
Come on, y’all, that’s a pretty cool “what if?” right? What
if all these guys came together to protect each other and to fight an ancient
evil and just be together? There are friends and lovers, card games and orgies…
Woo. Orgies.
There’s something really cool about actually being able to
use something you learned in college for a story, especially when you were in
the liberal arts.
I hope y’all will check out Club Raven and see what it’s all
about.
Hint. The main characters in Happy Medium have mind reading
and kinetic abilities.
