By the great FSM and all his noodley appendages, I’m as busy as a full hive of bees these days. Putting honey in my coffee has become a tempting temptation, if only for the sugar rush.

So what have I been up to?

On the writing front, “A-Muse-Ing” is in proofing. Whew! (Excerpt after the tone.) Still looking at Very Early November for that to come out at Loose Id.

I’ve just finished another novel called “Lovers, Dreamers and Me” (also coming to Loose Id. More about that at another time, but for right now I’ll tease you with this… the hero is a man who doesn’t think he’ll love it — until he tries it, and then he can’t get enough.

Coming after that, not yet written but lord, am I excited about it: “Tomcat Jones”, shapeshifting veterinarian PI and a smartass-hotass cool cat.

And now for something completely different. Sort of. Where’s Willa? Well…

I’ve renamed my newsgroup, aiming for something a little more fun than just my name. It’s now “got_ink_willaokati”. Fun, no? Which in sum total makes it http://groups.yahoo.com/group/got_ink_willaokati

You can also find me these days on Twitter, “willa.okati.willa”, and given how Twitter has become my new favorite addiction it’s good odds you actually will find me. Chat at me; I’d love that.

You can also ALSO find me on the slowly-coming-together Live Journal “willandways”, http://willandways.livejournal.com/

As for MySpace, I’ve thrown my hands up in final despair of understanding how it works. *stands somberly while a requiem plays on a bugle; fortunately, the bugler’s tight uniform pants provide an excellent distraction*

Lastly, there’s my website, http://www.willaokati.com.

Simmering in the back of my head: podcasts. There’s just something awesomely fun about those, and this would be something of a This Ain’t Prairie Home Companion the way it’s coming together in my head. Stay tuned (pun not intended. Much. Sort of. Okay, fine, it was fully intended.)

This would be the tone. There’s a sneak preview snippet of “A-Muse-Ing” for those who click the link!

Rory poked Harper in the chest. “The muse tells you to relax. Sex is awesome for chilling out, and a good endorphin rush goes a long, long way. You, my friend, need to get laid.” He slapped his hip. “Giddy up. Have at it.”

Harper could have stopped himself, he knew that. He didn’t want to. One taste, just one small taste… he dipped his head and pressed his mouth to the hollow of Rory’s throat, glistening with a faint sheen of sweat. Salty spiciness burst over his tongue and rolled through his head, tangling his thoughts hopelessly beyond repair.

Rory hissed. He rose and fell, riding Harper like a wave. “Yeah,” he said, breathless. “Like that. Only more.”

He had lost the ability to control his actions, or forgotten how to. Harper didn’t know, only aware of the need to grasp the tight globes resting on his thighs and dig his fingers into the soft skin over firm muscle. His fingertip brushed the cleft of Rory’s ass. He could give in. He could. Rory wanted it as much as he did…

“There you go,” Rory crooned, voice breaking, hot beyond compare. “Knew you had it in you. How about you get it in me now?”

Harper closed his eyes and ran his mouth over Rory’s collarbone, nosing the open collar of his Henley out of the way. “This is so damn weird.”

“Yeah, I know. I get it. I do.” Rory arched his throat to give Harper better access. His shirt went poof, and his jeans went the way of his shirt. Emerald green boxers were all that separated his cock from Harper’s fly.

“I don’t know what to…” Harper jerked. Rory’s hands had found their way under the tails of his shirt, riding their way up bare skin, dry heat scorching him.

“Let me do what I do best. Inspire you.”

    I’m happy to get another peak, but I’m always left wanting more. I can’t wait until November :)
