Today I have a post up on the blog of author Eden Winters. Her Diversion mystery series features narcotics detectives in a wonderfully snarky and heated relationship. I had asked Eden to comment on an aspect of the drug crime in Tracefinder and she delighted me by saying her readers might enjoy my book too. Come check out what I have to say about writing mystery and romance, and the characters of Nick and Brian, … Read more

New Year’s Day 2016 – Highs, Lows, Best Books, and Plans

I’m delighted to say that my book “Chasing Death Metal Dreams” received second-place awards for “Transgender Romance” and “Transgender Book” in the Rainbow Awards tonight.

I was sure that Kaleo Griffith’s narration would resonate with many listeners, as it did with me. But still… opening day nerves, just like with any other release. With the added issue of having no real clue what to expect from audio. By now, the book has 12 ratings on Audible, … Read more
