As some of you may be aware, NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month is an activity some of us undertake in the month of the November. It’s open to anyone, published or not, who wants to join in and try to get some words down, helped by the added encouragement you get from doing it as a group. The idea is to start a novel and write 50,000 words in the course of the thirty … Read more

It’s election day here in the US. I wasn’t going to post anything political, but I’ve been overhearing conversations for the last couple of days that bother me. People saying “Well, my state is so Blue/Red that my vote doesn’t count anyway.” Please Vote. There is (thank God) no state in the Union so homogeneous that all public officials are from the same party or elected by acclaim. Those smaller races are important too. The … Read more

When I went to GayRomLit I wasn’t registered as an author. So I didn’t bring swag or books to sign. Some readers actually brought along their own copies of my books. That was such a trip, to think that they bothered to pack those, just so I could write in them. I signed at least a dozen, and I love you all. Thank you! But I did want to have something on hand to sign, … Read more

GayRomLit was an intense experience for me. As an introvert, a relatively new author, and a first time attendee, I had no idea what to expect. I’d only met people as Kaje Harper the writer twice before, and never in a group that size. The four days went by fast, and instead of trying to tell you all about it, I’m going to pull out some highlights and memorable moments (but no pictures -sorry, I … Read more

The release of Home Work was made a little more stressful this week because of a problem with the Amazon listing. Amazon has apparently changed the way they apply the tags that are on a book when it’s uploaded. In the name of “simplifying”, they reduced the number of places a book could be initially listed, and went alphabetical. As a result, Home Work was linked under Erotica but not Gay & Lesbian on Amazon … Read more

Home Work (Life Lessons book 3) is now available from MLR Press. The release on Amazon depends on how backed up they are, but usually not longer than a couple of days. Other third party retailers should also have it soon. Thanks for everyone’s interest. I hope you enjoy it. ETA – it’s now out on Amazon

I have an interview up today on Reviews by Jessewave. I was very flattered to be featured there and you can check out another picture of my avatar/muse/walking eater-of-Scrabble-tiles. Home Work is coming out in a week. You can sign up to try to win a copy at Stumbling Over Chaos. I thought I’d also share a brief excerpt from the beginning of the story: . *** Home Work – Chapter 1 *** Detective Jared … Read more

Storm Moon Press has just released the anthology [book:Carved In Flesh|16002569] – one of the six stories in this collection is my 21K fantasy story Gift of the Goddess. People often say that the true perfection in the human form is in its imperfections. Scars are visceral reminders of a person’s past, a sign of an event that can never fade. Whether it was gained in combat, a traumatic experience, or part of a ritual … Read more

…and also because I am not the most organized person in the world, I am happy to realize announce that my other anthology story, Gift of the Goddess, will release in the Storm Moon Press anthology Carved in Flesh on Friday Sept 14th. Um, yeah, this Friday. Which means I’ll have three new stories out in the span of a month once Home Work releases. Hopefully that means something for everyone. Gift of the Goddess … Read more
