It’s mid-October and here in the northeast the leaves are changing color and falling from the trees. There’s a chilly nip to the air–today anyway. And we’re getting ready for a very special and much-anticipated event.
No, it’s not Halloween.
It’s NANOWRIMO.

In case you aren’t a writer, or have never heard of NANOWRIMO, let me explain.
NANOWRIMO is […]

Yesterday, after all my running around doing all sorts of errands that I’d rather not have had to do, I got home, sat down at the computer and started going through email…yes, I should have been writing, hush it’s not nice of you to mention that ;-) Anyway, I’m sifting through email and […]

I just dropped my cat off at the vet an hour ago. A confession: I hate taking her to the vet.
Its for her own good, but whenever I drop Darian off, and she looks up at me through the black mesh of her carrier, I always wonder if I’ll see her again.
I suspect I’ll probably […]

Well, kind of. See, the novel I’m working on now — Adder, tentatively scheduled for release from Samhain in the summer — stars a singer/multi-instrumentalist and his band. This fictional band will be playing at a music festival I invented. I’ve been to several different music festivals. However, not being a musician or press or […]

Well, this is awkward! I feel like the new kid coming to crash the party, but luckily I’m the sort of party guest that likes to bring gifts! When I tried to think of what my first post should be about I instantly thought of writing a little short story, and since it’s officially Thanksgiving […]

This weekend I went to the gay erotic expo in NYC, an event by and for gay men and dedicated to all things sexual. I represented MLR Press at the vender booth, the first time I’d done such a thing on my own. Well, I wasn’t entirely on my own. My fantastic husband went with […]

I was asked this recently: “In writing M/M or M/F erotica with obviously plenty of sex scenes, how do you keep the sex fresh, interesting, hot and varied??? Is this easy/difficult for you??? What kind of “tricks of the trade” do you have to employ?”
I liked answering so much, I thought I’d share here too.
I […]

I love research. The only problem I have is getting too into it. I love to learn, so I can go way overboard with what I want to know in comparison to what I actually use. I’ve been known to research something for days and then it only gets a brief mention […]

In an effort to get organized and plan out my writing time and deliverables, I foolishly started a list of all the stories either contracted, requested by editors/publishers or begged for by readers.
STUPID Maura.
I really didn’t think the list was so big - nor so intimidating. I’m actually scared when I look at it.

Bittersweet […]
