I had my projects for this summer planned out, when MLR Press came to me and said, “We want to do a story series with some of our top authors. Will you contribute a novella?” Three guesses on whether I’ve learned to say no to story requests yet… and the first two guesses don’t count.

This Sunday I drove a couple of hours south to Rochester, MN, to join two other M/M authors from that city who’d decided to have a booth at PrideFest 2014. I’ve never gone to any Pride as more than a quiet anonymous wanderer of the venue, so this was new. And a bit intimidating. But the more I work with the YA LGBT group, and teens, the more I want to stand up visibly. So … Read more

. 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. This is a near-future paranormal mystery. The prompt says, “Dear Author, I just moved into this old antebellum home I bought with the intentions of restoring. I often find myself awoken in the night by strange noises I cannot identify or hear … Read more

If you comment there is also a chance to win any of my backlist books (and if you see the covers posted are freebies, that’s just because they’re my latest; … Read more

I have an interview posted on the blog of author Jamie Lake. Jamie asked questions about getting started, my writing process, and advice for potential authors. Jamie also had other author guests you might be interested in, if you flip through the posts. I saw Matthew J. Metzger, Drew Hunt and Stormy Glenn among others. Check it out.

Hi everyone. *sheepish smile* So some of you have noticed I haven’t released a new book for six months. Well… I have been writing, but between betas and editors and all the details of completing stories, things got a bit clogged in the pipeline. So what is coming up? The Family We Make (Finding Family #2) is in editing. I dumped the whole 145,000 word story on some poor beta readers, but they are getting … Read more

I’m also giving away two copies to commenters on either my Goodreads or WordPress blog. … Read more

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
