Did someone say “Turkey”? I’m not a huge fan of the whole Thanksgiving extravaganza. Part of that is the introvert thing – too many people in one place for too long, and it gets claustrophobic even when they’re my family or friends. Also, I grew up in Canada, and although stuffed turkeys and pecan pie made their way across the border (to be improved by a collision with maple syrup) we didn’t have all the … Read more

I’ve been delighted to see my work from this year nominated more than a dozen … Read more

Today, I’m a guest at Boy Meets Boy Reviews. They asked me some questions about writing and books. (I had to pick a dozen favorite Desert-Island-Keeper books. Only a dozen? It was torture. I love my ereader with 1400 books on there…) If you stop by and comment, you can enter a drawing for a free ebook of your choice of any of my backlist. I’m also trying to find a title for the sequel … Read more

Tonight, along with many other of my favorite authors, I’m going to be doing a live chat in celebration of M/M Romance and Halloween. This event was organized by Marc, of Rainbow Gold Reviews. This will be a 24 hour marathon with new authors every hour. I start it off, with author Hans M. Hirschi whom I actually met at GayRomLit. A very interesting guy – we had a great discussion of queer lit and … Read more

First, I have a little post with a 2K story out today in celebration of This event has been going on all of October, celebrating the genre with several posts a day. The contributions touch on all areas of the LGBTQ romance rainbow, including many M/M. I hope you like my story, “Legacy.” Then stick around, read everything else, from great flash fiction to personal stories of real life proposals to commentary on romance in … Read more

Last week I took time out to attend GRL – GayRomLit 2014. This now-annual retreat for readers and authors of M/M romance has become a highlight for me. The best part is the chance to spend a few days immersed in a large group of people with a shared love for the genre I write and read most. This year it was in Chicago – close enough for me to drive, past scenery like this. … Read more

This weekend I’ve been preparing to attend the Gay Rom Lit retreat at the end of next week.

I’ll have an Author’s Lounge event on Thursday at noon, and a Question and Answer session on Friday at 9 AM. I’m looking forward to all the events … Read more

It’s been a busy week with two releases. Since I had the new novella Nelson & Caleb come out on Friday, I didn’t post a link to my guest blog on Prism Book Alliance the same day. I want to do that now: at Prism Book Alliance I wrote about why I love to read (and write) historical M/M romance. Being asked to do a story for Another Place In Time has been a wonderful … Read more

Time passed. The storm outside seemed to come in waves, lulling almost to a gentle rain, and then cresting again in a fury of wind and driven water… One storm. Twelve men. The Storming Love series from MLR Press is a set of six novellas, loosely connected by Hurricane Lauris. In these books you’ll meet men dealing with the storm preparations, the violent, frightening and destructive impact, and the sometimes-heartbreaking aftermath of the hurricane. Each … Read more

Today is the release of the anthology Another Place In Time. I’m really excited. I’m betting that fans who pick this book up to read a story by one favorite author will stay to devour them all. No doubt there will be a lot of “Why haven’t I read this author before??” comments, as readers meet the amazing men who live and breathe, and love, in other times and places, between these covers. .
