Holiday cover reveal – “Rejoice, Dammit”

Earlier this month, I wrote a little flash fiction for Boy Meets Boy Reviews called “You Were.” It was supposed to be a one-off story. But the main characters in it didn’t want me to leave Derrick there, at the end, still waiting for the rest of his life. So it grew into a 30,000 word holiday story. Blurb: “Rejoice, dammit!” — I could hear my husband Thom’s voice as clearly as when he was … Read more

Anniversary Shenanigans flash fiction at Boy Meets Boy

It’s my turn to join in the Anniversary Shenanigans at Boy Meets Boy Reviews. I have a flash fiction posted, and there’s a chance to win an ebook copy of Tracefinder: Changes (and I’ll throw in a copy of Book 1, if you win book 2 – “Changes” and haven’t read “Contact”.) https://boymeetsboyreviews.blogspot.com/2016/11/anniversary-shenanigans-author-visit_25.html They gave me some lovely pictures for flash fiction inspiration – this one brought up a little story that’s warm but bittersweet.

What do we do now…

So that happened. I’ve spent the last two hours holding my genderqueer kid, as they shook with fear. And with loss. Because that’s what this election result means to them – loss of a hope, that we might see America – our nation – affirm our diversity and commitment to accept and support citizens like my child. And real fear of what that may mean, in the coming years, for physical and emotional safety in … Read more

GayRomLit afterglow…

It’s Monday, and I’m back home after a five-day trip to GayRomLit in Kansas City, MO. *sigh* For those who don’t know it, GayRomLit is an annual retreat and convention for those who love M/M romance – 400 readers and writers and voice actors and cover artists and friends. This year was my fifth and the event’s sixth year. And next year will be in Denver, Colorado, in mid-October. Just sayin’. I was able to … Read more
