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. And I really enjoyed the winning book (in both categories) – – “The Burnt Toast B&B” by Heidi Belleau and Rachel Haimowitz. If you liked mine, give that one a try. I loved both closeted Derrick and wonderful, confident Ginsberg in this book. And appreciated the way the transgender theme … Read more

Three weeks ago I released Into Deep Waters in audiobook. And held my breath, because, you know, loving something myself doesn’t mean others will. 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.
