I’m thrilled to say we are working on a release of The Rebuilding Year in audio with narration by the amazing Gomez Pugh. I’ve previewed the first fifteen minutes and I’m delighted by the voices he has created, especially John’s deep warmth. The finished book should be completed before the end of September, and I will post a release date when we are nearing that point. I’m looking forward to seeing people meet my guys … Read more

I’m really excited because my first book in translation is coming out August 18th – an Italian translation of “Life Lessons” from Triskell Edizioni (translated by Cristina Bruni who is an author herself) – And they created such a lovely new cover for me. The plan is to release the rest of the Life Lessons series in the future as well. I hope Italian readers can connect with my American cop and teacher, and enjoy … Read more

This weekend I did a booth at Twin Cities Pride with four of my fellow local Midwest Gay-Romance Authors – it was great fun and more comfortable weather this year. (I’m sure the leather crowd was grateful to have 60s instead of 90s this year, too.) We had a little rain each day, but brief enough not to send the crowds home. I met some great people, had fun conversations, and healed my heart a … Read more

I’m blogging today on Love Bytes Reviews with a few thoughts about about choosing cover guys. Putting a face on my men

With all that is going on here in the US and around the world, this may be one of the more mixed Pride months in recent years. We take joy in the progress made, from more cities states banning conversion therapy to the legal decision in favor of equal marriage in Taiwan, from new bans on intersex gender surgery on infants in Portugal, to the issuance of intersex and third-gender/agender identification documents. And we fight … Read more

Today – May 17 – is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia – a day to speak up about anti-LGBTQ laws and discrimination, about hate and fear and risks around the world. In places from Chechnya to Saudi Arabia to Uganda, it can be life-threatening to be LGBTQ. Here in the US, bigotry also threatens lives. Even as we make advances here and there, step by step in stories I love to share, still … Read more

I’m blogging today on Love Bytes Reviews about the temptation, to which I often succumb, of putting children into the lives of my M/M main characters. The Patter of Little Feet

As I’m updating old books, I decided to get a new cover and do a minor edit for “And to All a Good Night” – the free Life Lessons 1.5 short story. And I added the Valentine’s 1.8 story – “Getting It Right” in as well. Isn’t the new cover by Karrie Jax pretty? This version is now available on Smashwords, (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/69096) although it will take a little time for it to work through the … Read more

I’m back on Love Bytes Reviews today, blogging about the multifaceted costs of anti-LGBTQ prejudice in society. Our best books help readers understand, and empathize, by telling stories that matter to them. Shedding Light on the Costs
