Monday again…
Check out what I saw from my kitchen in my backyard….not really. And not that any of you really thought there’d be penguins in my backyard. Though that would have been totally awesome…lol. It did snow last night though, and I’m not very happy about it. I’m hoping the roads are good, so I can go up and visit my mom today. Didn’t get up there yesterday because I had a headache.
Okay…to update you on my writing. Home Sweet Home is going well. Not as far along as I’d like, but still I’m sure I can get it done by the end of the month. π The Occasional Prostitute (my contribution to the 2013 GRL antho) is coming along as well.
Also, Devon Rhodes and I have started our book. We’re writing a series of six stories about men and international sports. So the sports aren’t going to be your usual basketball, baseball, or anything like that. A Sticky Wicket in Bollywood is the first in the series, and it’s about cricket and is set in India. Hopefully when it comes out, you’ll all love it. π
Plus Ninja Cupcakes is out for general release at Total e-Bound, and Home of his Own is up for VIP download. If anyone is interested in them, or for some reason, doesn’t have them yet. Wishing for a Home has hit the coming soon page at TeB and No Going Home is available in print starting today.
Oh…and my marvelous editor at MLR Press, Kris Jacen, has an interview at Top2Bottom Review. Please take a minute to stop by and read it. She talks about how busy an editor’s life really is. In my opinion, editors have the tough job out there. At times, I think writing is hard, but really I’m just putting Β down on ‘paper’ the daydreams in my head. Kris has to make sure those daydreams make sense. π
Almost forgot the link. Click here.
Well, I have a lot of work to do…and not enough hours in the day to do it. I hope you all have an awesome Monday.
Happy Boxing Day
To everyone who celebrates it. π I hope all of you had a marvelous Christmas. I certainly did.
Managed to get some writing done yesterday as well. So I’m halfway finished with Leaving Home. Have to really buckle down and get writing. There are going to be a few late nights while I do this..lol. But that’s all right. I don’t mind.
Hoping to be able to go see Les Miz today with some friends. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it won’t be too packed or sold out.
Oh, those of you who are VIPs at Total e-Bound, and would like the single release version of Ninja Cupcakes, it’s available for purchase and download now.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone. π
Start of another week..
Last Friday was a dark day for everyone. How could it not be with the lost of children? It’s bad enough when adults are randomly murdered, but when it’s children and at a school, the horror seems to be doubled.
My thoughts go out to all the families who will be burying loved ones this week. It shouldn’t have happened, and you shouldn’t have to do this, not the week before Christmas. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as well.
I’ve been doing well with Leaving Home. It’s rolling along, and I’m hoping I’ll hit my deadline of turning it in on Jan. 1st. I have 8 1/2 chapters left to write, plus adding all the sex scenes in as well…lol. Maybe if I can get it done earlier, I can work on Reserved for Him. That needs to be done by Feb. 1st, but I have another short story and the Home book to do as well. Crazy.
Total e-Bound is having a 12 days of Christmas contest. Each day will be a new prize with a new winner. π Check it out here. Sounds like fun.
And if you’re a VIP at Total e-Bound, and wanted the single release of Ninja Cupcakes (if for no other reason then the awesome cover…lol) it’s available for download now. But only for VIPs. π
Oh…and Unconventional..at Best has been nominated as best Anthology of the Year at Goodreads. Here’s the link. You don’t have to be a member to vote. Also, my Home series has been nominated for Favorite all Time M/M series. Les and Randy have been nominated for Favorite All Time M/M Couple. And Cindi from Embrace My Reflection/Bring Him Gold has been nominated for Best Secondary Character. Β If you’re so inclined, please go and vote. (Vote for your favorites, even if it’s not me. I can handle it…lol)
Well, I’m going to dive into writing and I hope you all have a good day.
New Cover…
If you’ve bought anthologies from Total e-Bound before, you’ll know that they usually release each story as a single book a few months later. Well, this is the cover for my single release of Ninja Cupcakes. π Β Do you like it? I really do. I wanted a cupcake on the cover, but the cover artist couldn’t find a way of sticking one in without it looking weird. Once I saw this, I didn’t care…lol. I still think it looks awesome without one. π
Okay…as far as I know (but it’s not set in stone yet) Ninja Cupcakes will be releasing on its own in Dec. When I know for sure, I’ll let you all know.
Also, my menage story, Two for One, will more than likely be coming out in November instead of Thieves. I’m hoping Thieves will be out in Dec as well. Not sure since I still have to finish it. but luckily we were able to put TfO in where Thieves was supposed to go. TfO is a re-release. It had been in the anthology, Three, from Liquid Silver Books, but when I got my rights back for it, I didn’t want it just sitting around…lol.
Have a great weekend, everyone. π
Finally Friday
I can’t believe that this time next Monday, I’ll be leaving for the airport to fly to London. Woo-Hoo! I have a few little things to pack, but for the most part, I’m doing. Now I just have to try and get some more installments of the blog story done for you all.
Oh, I’m going to try and remember to post it, but Unconventional..at Best, which has my newest story, Ninja Cupcakes, will be out next Monday. Yay! I really think you’ll like all of the stories that are in it. π
Well, I hope you all have a great weekend. I have to go do some writing. π
Happy Hunk Day
Good morning, everyone. π I hope it’s bright and sunny wherever you are. π
I wanted to let you know about a contest going on over at Stumbling Over Chaos, where you can win a copy of Unconventional at Best…the anthology that contains my upcoming book, Ninja Cupcakes. It has other stories written by Carol Lynne, Stephani Hecht, Jambrea Jo Jones, Amber Kell, and Devon Rhodes as well. They all look amazing. Here’s the link. Go try your luck.
Well, I have a ton of stuff to do today…starting to pack for England next week and I have to write some more installments for the blog story. So you don’t miss anything while I’m gone. π
Have a great day, everyone. π
Busy Week
Well, I’m heading to Phoenix this afternoon to spend the week with my best friend. She’s having a birthday party on Saturday, and I’m going to help her get ready for it…and celebrate her b-day as well. Yay!
I will have internet access, so hopefully I’ll be able to get the next two installments of the blog story posted. Though tomorrow’s might not be up until Wednesday..depends on if I get a chance to write today.
I have edits to do on Tramps, so it’ll be able to go up for pre-order soon. I do believe the actual release date for Tramps has been moved back to September, but I’ll have to double check on it. Don’t worry though, I’ll still have a release in August. My book, Ninja Cupcakes, comes out at the beginning of August as part of an anthology with some other awesome m/m authors. π Hopefully you’ll enjoy my cute story…and theirs as well.
I’m going to sign off for the moment, so I can finish packing and get ready to head out to the airport. π
Wednesday’s Hunk
Thank God the heat broke. Last week was terrible, and I spent most of it indoors while I worked through some personal things. But going to the beach might be fun if there’s scenery like this guy…lol.
I’m writing and hoping to get From Yesterday done sooner than later. Woot! All the final edits are done on From Slavery to Freedom and Ninja Cupcakes. So I’m hoping FStF will up for pre-order soon. Not sure about Ninja Cupcakes, since it’s part of an anthology and I’m not sure when/if the others have done their edits yet. π As soon as it goes up, I’ll let you all know.
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.
New Cover
This is the cover for the upcoming anthology I’m in at Total e-Bound. As you can see, there are some of the best m/m authors in it with me. π Β The theme of the antho is conventions..and all our stories take place at one convention or another. My story is titled Ninja Cupcakes. I’m not sure about the others, but I know they’ll be awesome. π Β The antho releases August 6th, and then in December, each story will be released individually as well. Also, it’ll be going into print, and will be available at GayRomLit in October. Plus, I do believe all of the authors will be there to sign it for you. π
I got another new cover yesterday as well, but I’ll be sharing that one with you on Friday. It’s the new cover for The Vanguard, and while I love the old one, this one is gorgeous in it’s own way…lol. The Vanguard will be re-released in Sept by Total e-Bound. π
It’s my 40th birthday today…and I can’t think of better presents than beautiful cover art.
Hope you all have a great day.
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.
