I said yesterday that I did two interviews, and of course they came out on the same day. The second one is more general, about my other books and my writing, and what is upcoming with my WIPs. It’s also longer, because Marc, the interviewer, is a friend. When we start chatting it goes on for a bit. Commenting at the end of that interview puts you in the running for a free backlist … Read more

I’ve done a couple of interviews about writing my first M/M/M menage story. Casey, Will and Scott were fun to watch emerging from the story. I spent three weeks deeply immersed in the relationship balance between an ex-Marine small-town sheriff, a ranch foreman with a lonely past, and a pro hockey player who is gone on the road more than he’s home. The first interview is posted on Shayla’s Little Shell, the blog of author … Read more

I know I said I wasn’t writing any more freebies for a bit. I have my books in existing series waiting for me to work on them. But here’s another freebie. It wasn’t my idea, honestly… For those who are members of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group, you may know that there are some book-reading games there. I’ve played Bingo, where teams read books for categories that fill up a bingo card. It’s a lot … Read more

So that was 2013. Well… On the personal-life side, it was the year in which I learned to use “but no one is dead, yet” as a positive statement. Enough said. But on a book and writing side, it was a pretty good year. I went to the Gay Rom Lit retreat as an author this year. For the first time, I created Kaje Harper swag, in the form of magnets and plot-bunnies, and ducks. … Read more

Some of my family are fortunately easy to please. And there is a satisfaction in making someone happy, even if it’s just the dog. This is the season for caring about each other, for sharing what we have with those less fortunate, and for doing the little things that make people smile. I’m trying to take a deep breath and remember that. Life has been crazy lately, and until yesterday I had done no Christmas … Read more

My free holiday short story, The Family We’re Born With, is now available from Smashwords. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get it up on ARe, and for the usual initial .99 price to charity at Amazon. ETA: Now up both places Links ARe, Amazon. Enny Kraft helped me get the cover pretty: I hope you enjoy meeting Devin and Jesse, Jesse’s half-brother, Sam, his mom, and the rest of the family he was born with. I … Read more

Despite the week of cold here (minus numbers Fahrenheit are cold) and Friday the Thirteenth trying to outdo itself, two good things happened today. One is that I found out I made the short list of five authors nominated for Favorite M/M Author of 2013 on Jessewave. The voting just started today, and I already got a few votes and a couple of nice comments. *warm fuzzies abound*. The list includes Amy Lane, Harper … Read more

The book also tied for tenth for Best Gay Novel. This is so cool, especially when you check out the competition. You can follow the link to the Awards to find all the winners. Congratulations to everyone! I also thought I’d update you on … Read more

This was going to be a standard Happy Thanksgiving post (and still is, kinda.) But as I sat down to write it, my little dog, who is my writing companion and muse and an annoying little brat, asked to go for a walk. Looks sweet and harmless, even thoughtful, doesn’t he? Ha, I wish! Sometimes he talks to me, and today it was one of those typical conversations: Dog-muse : So, today is Thanksgiving. More … Read more
