Seven years of bringing readers the best, the sexiest, the most romantic GLBT fiction. And to celebrate, they're giving away prizes - themed gift baskets, gift certificates for free books every day, and there's a scavenger hunt that will give readers a chance to collect a deck of cards that will win big - a Nook from Barnes & Noble!

Readers will get the chance to "collect cards" by visiting each participating author's website, blog, or Facebook page (mine, too, just so you know! If you can't find it, here's a hint: We all love free stuff...). By collecting all the cards and filling in the form, players have the chance to win free books daily, a gift basket once each week, (including BDSM, werewolf and ménage themed baskets), and be entered in the grand prize drawing for the Nook. Go here to play.

To help Torquere celebrate (or perhaps because I couldn't help myself), there's a chance to meet our very own Mischa again here. A cautionary tale about the effects of too much alcohol. And singing. And something about mean boyfriends, too. Go here to read "Malaria, Cholera and Bubonic Plague".
