Good evening. Welcome to Bradley manor.

Thank you for joining me tonight, I was wondering if you'd make it, what with this weather we're having. You can take that coat off now. It's quite cold outside, isn't it? But not to worry, I have something special in store for you to warm you up.

First of all, let me thank you for picking up this book. In this new anthology OpenMinded is going the full monty for the first time. No more conveniently placed text balloons or limbs, but yaoi as explicit as it should be: sensual, revealing and passionate. After Eight offers it all and more.

The contents are as diverse as the art itself. From a late night train adventure to a ballroom play. From heroes dating villains to hunters stalking their prey. This is going to be a long night for all of them and of us.

Now before you  sit down to read this with me, lock the door and move your chair closer to the fireplace. Make sure you have enough wood to last you through the night. Light some candles, scented ones preferably and get yourself a cup of tea. Earl Grey will do nicely. Now sit back, relax and turn the page.

After Eight, because chocolate tastes better after dark.
