BOOK DESCRIPTION

''When myth comes to life, love becomes legendary''

Writer Richard Dunn's managed to get himself accepted by the fishermen in the village he lives in for half the year. Just how well accepted he doesn't realize, until the night he stumbles on an argument involving a local man he hasn't met before--and finds himself asked to give a silkie a bed for the night.

Niall is a silkie. A creature of legend—a seal, able to become human by removing his skin and to become seal again by slipping it back on. That’s a bit of a problem, since Niall’s seal-skin has been stolen by a man in love with Niall's sister. The thief will only give it back in exchange for his sister’s, which means he's trapped in human form. Unless he betrays her, or his friends find his skin.

Trapped ashore, with no official identity and no bank accounts, Niall needs a refuge. His human friends think that a wealthy writer with a known ability to respect other people's secrets might be just the ticket. All the better that both of them are gay and single...

But Richard's only too aware of the legends of silkie women abducted and forced to marry land men. It's hard to ignore the old tale, when one of the fishermen has just made a bid to re-enact it. It's not an example Richard wants to follow. He's determined to help Niall get his skin back, even if it costs him the love of a lifetime.

== Excerpts ==

PG-13 excerpt and erotic excerpt available [http://www.julesjones.com/fiction/details/spindrift.html at the author's website].

'''Just Erotic Romance Reviews:''' 5 stars

"...a wonderfully rich tapestry of human emotions. Ms. Jones has penned a novel where I empathized with almost every situation... Ms. Jones explores the myth of the selkie, puts her own unique spin on it and has penned another winner in my book." -- Michell Naumann

'''Joyfully Reviewed:'''

"Spindrift is a touching love story that will leave you wishing for more. ... The fishing village, the assortment of villagers, Richard and Niall were all so well-written that they came alive to me, and at book's end I was sad to see them go. Spindrift is my favorite Jules Jones book to date, and I am looking forward to more from this author!" -- Annabelle Andrews

'''Alex Woolgrave''' is [[Jules Jones]]' writing partner, given to start nervously at sudden noises which may or may not be Jones on the other end of a phone. Has recently switched from Windows to Mac OS X, and finds a new computer a wonderful place to lose things ("It's my sodding home folder! It is not the Trash! It is not 'dev/null'! If I put something somewhere I expect to be able to refer to it later.")

Cannot plot for toffee, cannot visualise, and when plonked in front of a blank screen and told to 'write something dammit' will eventually come up with what passes for amusing dialogue as soon as the coffee or other displacement activity runs out.

Lives in a house too small for two indoor cats with digestive disturbances.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

When Union Captain Reeve rescues renegade Protectorate scientist Marc Frampton, it’s his job to convince Frampton to give his loyalty to the Union. Reeve doesn’t mind the assignment. He admires Frampton’s courage in resisting interrogation under torture and his obvious intelligence. And he has the patience to wait ‘til Frampton is ready to give up his knowledge…and his body.

Frampton doesn’t do loyalty. Little wonder, after all he’s been through. He does, however, recognize a debt to the Union, and finds them a hell of a lot more congenial than his last employers -- the ones who arranged his tour of hell. He also likes Reeve. A lot more than he’s prepared to admit, because the secrets he’s keeping aren’t just scientific.

Reeve stumbles on Frampton’s kink quite by accident. The scientist’s D/s bent, and his need for multiple partners, doesn’t bother Reeve, but convincing Frampton may be the hardest mission Reeve’s ever undertaken.

''How far are you willing to go to satisfy your lover?''

'''Just Erotic Romance Reviews:''' 5 stars

"Jules Jones writes in an unusual style I admire and is one of the few who can write a sex scene that is gracious yet close to hard core at the same time. The interesting storyline, the endearing characters, and really great sex make Mindscan my new favorite by Mr. Jones and one I openly recommend." -- Anya Khan

'''Just Erotic Romance Reviews:''' 4 stars

"Mr. Jones is a talented author who has written a futuristic tale of love and lust between two members of the same sex that I enjoyed greatly. Buildup: Mindscan is a wonderful book that is most definitely a keeper!" -- Susan White

'''Coffee Time Romance:''' 4 cups

"Jules Jones writes a story of two men who help each other come to terms with the demons that torment them. The sex in the leather bar scenes is graphic and the emotions are raw, making the book is dark and intense. I enjoyed the book because it grips the reader and does not let go until the last page. I hope to read more books by this author." -- Candy

'''Fallen Angel Reviews:''' 4 angels

"Jules Jones really captures the mood of her characters, making their emotions almost come off the page at readers. The author explores the extent of Frampton's submissiveness, the varied kinky scenes that set him off, and Reeve's sexuality in a very erotic and poignant way... Buildup: Mindscan is a sensual and fantasy-filled peek into the healing that friendship and compassion can bring." -- Michelle

BOOK DESCRIPTION

''When myth comes to life, love becomes legendary''

When writer Richard Dunn moved to a remote Scottish village, all he was looking for was peace to write. He never dreamed that he'd find love, and the truth at the heart of a legend. Now Richard is one of those protecting the village's secret--a few, terribly few now, of the seals near the village are more than seals. They're silkies, shape-changing fairy folk. And one of them is Richard's partner Niall.

Their village offers a relatively safe home for silkies, with most tourists looking only for the pretty scenery or the good fishing. But the silkies are threatened by the arrival of a group of tourists who are interested in hunting more than fish--and the first seal they find is Niall's sister. She chooses to stay in seal form rather than betray the secret, even when she's attacked and injured.

With Ailsa's life hanging in the balance, the villagers band together for defense—but it’s up to Richard and Niall to protect each other and the community they’ve grown to trust.

Writer Richard Dunn's managed to get himself accepted by the fishermen in the village he lives in for half the year. Just how well accepted he doesn't realize, until the night he stumbles on an argument involving a local man he hasn't met before--and finds himself asked to give a silkie a bed for the night.

But Richard's only too aware of the legends of silkie women abducted and forced to marry land men. It's hard to ignore the old tale, when one of the fishermen has just made a bid to re-enact it. It's not an example Richard wants to follow. He's determined to help Niall get his skin back, even if it costs him the love of a lifetime.
