Hop Against Homophobia
Today starts the Hop Against Homophobia. There are over 250 blogs involved, and most of them are offering prizes for your comments. But mostly what the hop is about is bringing awareness to the pervasive discrimination against a certain group of people in society. Normally I avoid political talk on my blog. Mostly because I’m not naive enough to believe that just because you read my books, you share all my same views. We’re all different in subtle and not so subtle ways, and that’s what makes this world so exciting and marvelous.
Yet I hope the one thing we can all agree on is that everyone has the right to their own happiness. As long as it doesn’t infringe or hurt others, then they have the right to be considered equal to me in every way. It shouldn’t matter who they love or who they want to marry. All that should matter is that they’re striving to be the best human beings they can be, regardless of sexual orientation. I’ve never understood hating someone because they’re different from you. Life would be terribly boring if we were all the same.
I’m sorry if my post isn’t that profound or earth shattering. I tend to look on equality for everyone as a no-brainer. And yet I understand that people struggle with it every minute of the day. I just hope we all become enlightened at some point in our journey through life.
I’m giving away a book from my backlist to two lucky commenters today. If I pick you, and you already have all my backlist, you can pick one of my up-coming releases. You’ll just have to wait until I get my author copies before you can get your prize.
Also, if you’d like to see who else is participating in the Hop, check out the Hop Against Homophobia blog.
And if you’ve stopped by for the next installment in They Walk Among Us, it’ll be up tomorrow. 😀
Happy Hunk Day
There’s just something about this guy’s eyes and smile that I love. I had to post it. You can find the rest of the series at Beautiful Magazine. They have some awesome eye candy photos, but most of them aren’t safe for work. Just keep that in mind if you visit…lol.
I just got the news yesterday that Tramps, the second in The Beasor Chronicles, has been moved up to be released August 20th. Which means I need to get cracking and finish it up. The reason it’s being moved up is because Total e-Bound is re-releasing The Vanguard in September. Woo-hoo! I’m really excited about the whole thing because starting in July, I’ll have at least one book a month coming out from TeB, and in July, August, and Dec. I’ll have two books each of those months coming out. We’ve done our best to try and alternate new books with re-releases. So you’ll be getting something new from me every other month, plus all your old favorites with new covers.
I also just saw the cover for From Slavery to Freedom, and as soon as I get the okay, I’ll share it with you. I’m pretty sure we’ll be putting Slavery and Out of Light into Darkness together in a print book, which would be great. 🙂
I still have some other older books whose rights I’ve gotten back, and have to work out who they’re going to. As you might have noticed, you can no longer get Fighting Dragons, Ghost of a Chance, and Dreaming of Dragons from Loose-Id. I’m pretty sure I have a new publisher for them, so as soon as I can, I’ll let you know when those will be available again. Also, I still have to see about finding a home for Death or Life and Not Seeing is Believing. The reason those two don’t have a place yet is simply because I haven’t had the time to re-format them to the right template. As soon as I get a moment to do that, I’ll send them in, and let you know about them as well. 😉
I have final edits to do on Pursing Hope and Angel’s Evoultion. Those will be done today, I’m hoping…along with other things I’ve been neglecting. Most of which are forms I have to fill out…lol. I did let you all know Angel is being re-released by MLR Press, right?
Someone asked about Rover’s story, and I’m hoping I can get to it later this year. I have a few other stories I’ve promised first to different publishers, but as soon as those are done, I’ll be getting to his story. 🙂
Well, I think that’s all I have to say at the moment. I hope you all have a great Wednesday.
Another Monday…Another Hunk
Well, the wedding went off without a hitch, though we had a downpour earlier in the day, and I was worried it’d keep raining. But luck was with my friend, and she got to have her ceremony outside. Yay!
I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day, whether you’re a mother or not.
I’m going to be bringing They Walk Among Us to a close on the blog this week. I will be adding more to the story afterward before I publish it. 🙂 I’ll be working on Tramps as well this week.
Have a great day, everyone.
Looking Forward to the Weekend
This weekend actually is a good one for me…aside from being Mother’s Day. I’m heading to a wedding tomorrow of a good friend, and it’s outside in a beautiful venue. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn’t rain.
I’ll be writing as well, of course…lol. That doesn’t stop. 🙂
I hope you all have a great weekend. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there.
Hunky Hump Day
I realize I post mostly the same things every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday…lol. Truly, writing during the day is pretty much what I do, except for going to the gym early in the morning, and lunch dates with friends once a week. 🙂
It’s probably pretty boring for everyone, but I don’t plan on stopping my posts. Occasionally I do have important news like books and things like that…lol.
We’re getting very close to the end of They Walk Among Us. I’ll give us all a glimpse of Opal before I end it on the blog. Then I plan on adding more to it before I sub it anywhere. 🙂
Hope you all have a great Wednesday.
Monday Monday
Yet another Monday. You would think I’d be used to them by now….lol. It’s all right. Looks to be a little dreary outside, so I think I’ll stay home and write all day today. Well, except for going to the gym, but that’s already been accomplished. I’m ready to start working on the blog story and Tramps. Yay! Hopefully both of them go well today. 🙂
Have a great Monday, everyone.
Weekend Fun
Hmmm….I’m hoping to be able to do some fun stuff this weekend, and not just writing. But I still have a lot of work to do on Tramps and other stories. 🙂
Not much to say. I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay dry and safe.
Happy Hunk Day
Hello everyone. Happy Wednesday…lol. It’s a grey and dreary day here, but I don’t have any plans except to stay home and write. Woot!
Tramps is rolling along, and I started a short story titled From Yesterday for MLR Press. It’s the third book in the Rupert’s Legacy series, but features two new characters for you to get to know. I just signed the contract for Ninja Cupcakes, my contribution to the Unconventional…at Best anthology coming out at Total e-Bound. It’s going to feature some awesome authors besides me…lol
Oh, and you might have noticed that Dreaming of Dragons is no longer available. I’m making plans to re-release it later on this year or at some time next year. I’ll let everyone know for sure when it’s finalized.
Well, I better get writing. Have a great day.
April’s Over?
Hey check it out. I’m in Total e-Bound’s Author of the Week spotlight, which means if you haven’t picked up one of my books from them yet, they’re 20% off this week. Woo-hoo! Click here to see.
I can’t believe it’s the last day of April all ready. Where the heck has this year gone? I swear the years never seemed to go so fast when I was younger…lol. At times, it seems like I can barely keep up. I’ll be working on Tramps today and for the next week or so to try and get it finished asap. I’d like to get another story done in May, then start on the last two Home books. When those two are done, I have two stories to write for Amber Allure. After they’re finished, I can rearrange my schedule a little to fit in a couple of stories I’ve really been wanting to write. We’ll have to see if my muse cooperates with me…lol. He doesn’t always go in the direction I’d like him to go. Stubborn muse. 🙂
I hope you all have a great Monday, even if it’s the start of the work week.
Good news
Well, as those of you who visit my site might have realized I took back my rights to all of my books at Liquid Silver. I’ve been finding homes for them, and Total e-Bound has been gracious enough to pick up my Home series, and Stealing Life, so far. They’re looking at a few of my other ones as well. But unfortunately, Angel’s Evolution wasn’t a good fit for them, so I sent it to MLR Press and asked them what they thought.
My awesome editor, Kris, has offered me a contract for Angel, which includes both ebook and print format. Yay! So Angel will have a new home and will also be in print. I can’t wait…lol. I have two more books planned in The Transformation Series (I had to come up with a series title when I decided to write two more books…lol) Devil’s Temptation and Shade’s Enlightenment. I’m hoping when my schedule opens up a little bit more closer to the end of this year, I’ll be able to write them for release some time next year. Once I get outlines written for them, I might be able to give you a better idea of when they’ll be out.
I have to really knuckle down and get cracking on Tramps. It’s been a rough go with this story. Not sure why, but finally it’s starting to flow and I’m hoping to get it done by the middle of May. 🙂
Have a great weekend, everyone. I’ll be writing away…lol
