New novella cover and blurb

My new novella will be released by Dreamspinner Press in July (I’ll let you know when I have an exact release date). In the meantime, here is the fantastic cover and the blurb: Travis Miller has a machining job, a cat named Elwood, and a pathetic love life. The one bright spot in his existence …

Nice donation

Thanks to all of you who have bought the books in the Praesidum trilogy, I made another satisfying donation today to Doctors Without Borders. Doubly satisfying, actually, because a donor was matching all donations today. Give yourselves pats on the back. And then you can do me a favor: Go to my Amazon author page …

Manga and Romance Blog Hop

Welcome! I’m excited to be participating in the Manga and Romance Blog Hop. I have four novels and several short stories published, with more on the way. All my work fits more or less in the category of m/m romance. I sort of ended up here accidentally. I never could stomach het romance novels. The …

Proud of my kid

I’m working on revising one of my textbooks right now. My muse is growing more and more impatient–she’d much rather be writing something more fun. The book includes the text of several hate crime laws, and I needed to proof those texts to make sure they were accurate and up to date. I recruited my older daughter (who’s …

Bonjour and dobar dan

Just a teensy bit excited now, because I’ve confirmed my plans to visit Paris this fall. I’ve never been (except the airport), and I have romantic pictures of myself in my head, wandering around–my ancient high school French magically perfected–scribbling novels as I go. Probably just a wee bit unrealistic there, especially since I’ll only …

The Battle

I’m not writing any fiction right now, because I have an August 1 deadline on a (non-fiction) textbook revision. I’m not allowing myself to start anything new until the revision is complete. This means there’s a fierce battle going on right now between my self-control and my muse. Things could get ugly. In the meantime, …

Ray Bradbury

A handful of writers have made the deepest impressions on me, as both a reader and a writer. Ray Bradbury was one of those. Here’s a lovely letter from him describing his writing process for Fahrenheit 451. I used to knit. I haven’t done it in a while–too busy writing. This artist, however, has found …
