Welcome to this Rainbow blog hop. The organizers asked each of us to answer the question: what does writing LGBTQ fiction mean to me? The first time I wrote a story in my head where two guys kissed, I think I was about fourteen. Being pretty naïve (and living in the days before the Internet) I had no idea where they would go from there, so I wrote a lot of fade-to-black. But the sex … Read more
I finally got an official release date from MLR for the third Life Lessons book, Home Work. It will release on Oct. 5th. (MLR has started to release just two books a week to keep quality high, and I guess there are twelve books ahead of mine in the queue.) I’m sorry it’s not sooner, but excited to be able to make some plans.
Later in September, Wave at Reviews by Jessewave is going to do an interview with me. (Which is pretty darned exciting given how many people look at that site 🙂 ) She has put up a post to give readers a place to leave questions in advance. If there are any questions you would like to ask me that can wait a month to get a public answer (as opposed to asking here or by … Read more
For those who haven’t heard of it, GayRomLit is a retreat for writers and readers of gay romance to get together, talk about books, have fun and treat fictional characters like they are friends…This year’s event will occur October 18-21, 2012 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Last year’s retreat took place in New Orleans, and a wonderful time was apparently had by all. As a new writer at the … Read more
Show Me Yours, my second free story for the M/M Romance group’s Love is Always Right event, is now posted. You can download it from Goodreads here in several formats, hopefully this time with the gorgeous cover from Enny Kraft in place. Josh and Trey have been friends since they were kids, but Josh moved away when they were both seventeen. Their bond has been thinned by distance, by the weight of secrets withheld and … Read more
Not that kind! *minds out of the gutter* I just got an acceptance for a story I recently wrote and submitted, about a gymnast who is Olympics-bound. The title is Tumbling Dreams and it will probably end up around 18,000 words. It’s for an anthology on the Olympics titled Going for Gold from MLR press. The plan is to release the anthology around the end of August, so it will mean some pretty fast editing, … Read more
Brief Encounters, a site for M/M short story reviews, has been profiling Canadian authors over the last week, and today, July 3rd, is my turn. You can find a review of my short story Like the Taste of Summer. If you are interested on my take on many things Canadian, there is also an interview. I hope you enjoy a look at my Canadian side, still waving a bit of a maple-leaf flag despite 26 … Read more
Brief Encounters Reviews, a review site for M/M short stories, is celebrating Canadian authors for two weeks. The site will have daily interviews and story reviews for M/M romance authors who have ties to Canada. The event leads off with Kate Sherwood. My day will be July 3rd, which is fitting as it comes between July 1, the celebration of my native country, and July 4, the independence day of my adopted home. I’ll give … Read more
I haven’t blogged in over a week so I thought I might post an update of the things I’ve been up to lately. I just handed in the second edits on Home Work – Life Lessons book 3. After being wrong about the time it took to get Unexpected Demands released, I’m still not going to make predictions, but it’s moving along. I also got a look at the cover. I don’t have a jpeg … Read more
I spent a long time waffling over the new Into Deep Waters cover – because decisiveness is so not my strength. My husband claims it takes me a half hour to choose a flavor of jam at the supermarket. He’s known for a little hyperbola but in this case he’s not far off (although I can speed it up if the frozen food is melting in the cart…) Oh yeah, the cover. I loved the … Read more
