Brenda Cothern
Biography
I am an avid reader & writer of fantasy, paranormal and erotic fiction. When not writing, I read two to three novels a week, write book reviews, play D&D/LFR, and attend gaming conventions.
I have worked a plethora of jobs... an amusement park ride supervisor, EMT, ER Tech., bartender, dancer (yep, 'that' kind!), land surveyor, CSR, Dir. of Ops for a marketing company, and now I am a writer.
I write books that I love to read. Characters that you want to know more about in stories that hold your interest (hopefully!) I write sex. Plain and simple. No soft-core romance but the honest to good sex as it is supposed to be. You won't find sex thrown in randomly but when you do find it, I write it as I see it.
I write all types of erotica in fantasy & paranormal settings but mainly write male/male romances. I have also written female/male, female/male/male, and BDSM. I never plan to write a specfic erotica so there is no telling what characters my muse may allow to tell their stories for next.

Smashwords book reviews by Brenda Cothern
- The Eternal Dungeon: a Turn-of-the-Century Toughs omnibus of historical fantasy novels
on Dec. 28, 2011
I grabbed this book as a 'free read' since my past experiences with pick the price have resulted in paying for books that were poorly written with no editing, weak (or worse, no) plots, and characters who were two dimensional if I was lucky!
Boy, was I surprised! Reading The Eternal Dungeon was like taking a walk back into an alternative history that could have actually happened. I can not imagine the amount of research that has gone into this novel but it is clear that Peterson did his homework for the world he created for his characters. Characters, which I might add, that you will fall in love with. You will feel their joy and their pain as Peterson takes you through the in-depth plot of The Eternal Dungeon.
I was so impressed by Peterson that I was disappointed there was no way to come back here to smashwords and actually pay him for his work. So, I did the next best thing... found him online and sent him some $ through paypal. This book is worth more than the $10 I sent him (and if I could send more I would!) so, take my word and throw a few bucks into the 'pick your price' and save yourself the guilt you will feel later, once you realize this author deserved to be paid for this book :)
