An unapologetic book-huffer and devourer-of-stories, Vera Valentine has carried on a torrid love affair with the written word for nearly all of her 42 years. Grown in the diner-laden wilds of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, she now lives in North Carolina with her husband, six cats, and two dogs, most of whom are house trained.

Like many of her characters, Vera (she/her) is happily queer and polyamorous, in addition to being a lifelong practicing Pagan. If any of the above facts made you wrinkle your nose, heads up: this author and her works ain't for you.

Pairing: M/M/F

Standalone: Yes (HEA)

Style: Dino Shifter / Menage / 18+

Content:  A forbidden exhibit, a taboo crush, and an impossible dose of saurian lust are about to turn what should have been a simple errand into a torrid interspecies affair.

The quaint, quirky little town of Fossil Falls has more buried beneath the surface than their famous namesake. A huge secret lies in wait behind charming shopfronts, hotels, and a prestigious museum. Behind that facade, permitting official Diana Jones is about to uncover the find of a lifetime.

But when Diana’s real reason for visiting Fossil Falls is revealed, this excavation may just turn deadly.

Can Tybalt, Casey, and Diana work together to save the town’s secret without losing one another?

This novella has the following:

Dinosaur shifters

Primal Play

Dom/sub dynamics

Fated Mates love

Saurian lust unlike anything you’ve read before

And more

Erotic Excavations is a MMF romance with two dinosaur shifters and a human. This is a very spicy, low-plot novella that will make you think next time you sit down to watch a dino movie. From the minds of Vera Valentine and Clio Evans, we bring you Pamela Bones— an author who can’t wait to dig up a new kind of love. (Note: this story was a one-off fun side project for both authors and ends in an HEA; future books in the series are not planned at this time.)
