Drink (Coffee) Like an O’Kane

O'Kane Coffee Mug

To celebrate the official, pretty-much-everywhere release of Beyond Shame, we’re giving away two O’Kane coffee mugs!  These are nice two-color mugs with the O’Kane logo.  You can drink your morning beverage as badass as if you’d been partying like an O’Kane the night before.  International entries are welcome, just fill out the form below!

And if you desperately want a mug and don’t want to wait or take a chance, you can buy them on zazzle.  (The commission is bottomed out, as this is where I order the prizes from, so they’re not TOO expensive.)

Got questions? We’ll answer them!

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Sep 28

So, we’re getting ready for our “official” release week adventure next week, but with the book already out in the public we’ve been getting lots of questions.  I’m getting ready to put together a sort of, “What you can expect from the series” overview for next week, along with an FAQ page to answer the questions we’re getting most often.

If there’s anything you’d like to know about the series, the books or anything else, feel free to leave a comment.  With the exception of spoilers, we’ll answer everything, either here or in the post & FAQ next week.  🙂

(If you’d rather e-mail us, you can do so at kit@kitrocha.com)

Beyond Shame In Print

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Sep 21

Beyond ShameA dangerous world of sex, lust and violence…

All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond–beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman’s daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal–men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four’s ruthless leader, and he’ll defend the O’Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they’re crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she’ll have to open herself to the gang, and to a world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

The music behind Beyond Shame

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Sep 11

Donna & I always listen to a lot of music while writing. Putting together a playlist for a book lets us both get in the same headspace, and this is the one we listened to while writing Beyond Shame.

Three Chapter Preview

By Kit Rocha Leave a Comment Sep 5

There’s an update on our timeline!  Beyond Shame is through developmental edits and is in the hands of several final readers before heading to final proofing.  We’re hoping to have a soft release date by late September (which means final copies will be available for reviewers and starting to appear on retailers) with an “official” release date sometime in the first week of October.  Since this is our first time doing this, we may have some tweaks to the timeline, but we’re in the end stages!

Because of that, we’ve decided to post the first three chapters of Beyond Shame online for anyone who’s been interested in just what this project is. These chapters might not be identical to the final product, but no substantial changes should be made between now and release day.

Chapter One

She’d been cast out of Eden and straight into Hell.

Noelle had never seen anything as menacing as the Sector Four slums at twilight. Back in the city, the buildings were elegant, each carefully planned to fit the aesthetic of those around it, each maintained by silent crews of landscapers and cleaners tasked with making every inch of the city sparkle. Shining towers with crystal windows reflected the endless blue sky, and straight roads intersected at perfect angles.

Here, in the slums outside Eden, squat, ugly buildings seemed dropped with careless imprecision. The roads followed no logic she could discern. Brick and wood alike were dark with soot from generators spitting smoke into the air. Graffiti covered the walls, lewd curses and symbols she couldn’t begin to decipher. Garbage littered the cracked asphalt and dirt paths, broken glass and suspicious liquids. Noelle swallowed the pain of her ridiculous high heels and picked a careful path toward the end of the street.
