. Laser Visions is now released, from the Goodreads M/M Group’s Love’s Landscapes free story writing event. I ended up with a novel, at 79,000 words, and I had great fun writing it.

I often find myself awoken in the night by strange noises I cannot identify or hear … Read more

Today I’m on the blog of The Gemini Girls, participating in their July Fever event. Of course, given the choice of writing a blog post or a story… I wrote a story.

As the moderator of the Goodreads Young Adult LGBT Books group, I’m reading quite a few Young Adult books these days. I’ve always loved good YA stories, for the emotional rewards they can deliver. I lived for books as a teen. They gave me worlds to walk in, and mirrors to see myself as not strange and not alone. In the hands of a good author, a YA book can pull you in and make … Read more

In October, I’m going to be attending the GayRomLit reader/author event in Chicago. I managed to get an author spot off the wait-list, and I look forward to it with mingled anticipation and anxiety. Going as an author involves a bit more prep and decision making than going as a reader (when my big decision was “how to I dress to meet Amy Lane?” – the answer to which turned out to be, any way … Read more

As the clock ticks over to one AM on May 3rd, the intrepid writer finally works up the nerve to hit the “send” button… winging her words across cyberspace, only two days overdue.
