Actually, it goes to a university. I just found out recently that my M/M sci-fi adventure erotic romance that was nominated for an EPPIE award has been incorporated into a English class in a Midwestern State University fall 2007 course on “Novel as Genre”. It will be available in their campus bookstore! I’m thrilled and […]

Today, there was a link posted on a Yahoo loop to a NY Times article about the modern quest for a “good death”. You can read the article here. It touches on some things that I feel very passionately about, such as bringing death out into the open. Talking about it, instead of pretending it’s […]

So I’ve got *counts* three books in my queue now, which means I need to think of what comes next. The three don’t include Dark Elves 5 or 6 (yes, there will be at least 2 more). They’re coming, but I need to think of something else. So, what to do, what do to?
As is […]

This morning I went to the dentist. I was in the dentist chair from 10:30-2:30. Oh yeah, my jaw is gonna be sore tomorrow. It was all cosmetic so, it’s not as bad as it sounds. But this morning while watching Legally Blond 2 at the dentist office, I […]

My revising average has grown to about two chapters every day. Some chapters don’t need much work; others need something rewritten.
It’s a fun, though challenging, process. Sometimes I’ll come upon a moment that, while good, could be cut without taking anything away from the rest of the story. I’ll sigh, paste it into my “keep just in case” folder, […]

The other day, I was hunkered over the iBook cranking out the next chapter in the latest angst-fest, Untamed Heart, and I realized something. A disturbing number of my books contain at least one scene in a hospital, with at least one of the heroes ill or injured.
This isn’t something I think about. It […]

Have I mentioned that I’m working on the fourth Dark Elves book? Maybe. Have I mentioned that it’s really weird for me? Maybe not.
The elves, for reasons I’m sure are obvious, hold a special place in my heart. It’s the series that started me off as an author and it covers a few of my […]

Yup, it’s actually week 9. I missed last week because I couldn’t stop writing. It seems like I wrote all day last Friday and sadly you’d never know given the word count. I find more and more I sit in front of the computer and try not to write. I’m not […]

Timewise, I’m currently at the halfway point. Revision wise, I’m fighting off the DIP (deadline induced panic).
As I fight off the panic and continue working on the novel, I offer you a sneak peak at Half Lives.
Kyler Withers decided it was safe to teach journalism again when he stopped dreaming of dead children.
It was […]
