I put more information up about True in the Stories section today. The e-book won't be released until December, but I just had to show off the fantastic cover done for the story by Renee George. As the release date draws closer, I'll try and put more things up, so check back often.

Sold a short story! The first story in Tales of the Novahn will be on sale at Twisted Shift in December. I'll be putting up more information about it in the Stories section this week, so keep a look out for True!

I've done some tinkering with the website. The most obvious changes are in the Links and Interests sections. Take a look around, see what you think.

One Good Hand has received 4.5 stars from Euro-Reviews! It's a first for me, so check out the review here.

I've also finished a couple of short stories (actually short: under 10,000 words) and I'll start submitting them in a week or so. One of them is called Chains, and I'm currently working on a novel set in the world I introduced there.

I've posted chapter 2 of Michael Finally Grows Up. Check out the stories section and let me know what you think of it.


May 15th, 2006

Susan White of Coffee Time Romance has reviewed Warm Rush! To see what she had to say about my story, click here.


May 2nd, 2006

I finished my very first short story today. If you can call 20,000 words short. And, sadly, you can if you're me. It's called One Good Hand, and although I had many other writing projects I was supposed to be attending, this little idea just wouldn't let go. So now I have to proofread it, do some revisions, and find a home for it.

Writing is hard, but letting other people read what you wrote is the terrifying part. Not axe murderer terrifying. More insane roller coaster that's never been tested terrifying. I don't think that ever goes away. I think I'd miss it if it did.

March 1st, 2006

Warm Rush went on sale today. Forget butterflies in my stomach-- I think I'm infested with break-dancing porcupines or some similar insanity. But I did my best with it, and it is some of the best stuff I've ever written. If you'd like to check it out, click on the banner below:

January 21st, 2006

My first completed novel, Warm Rush, is scheduled for publication on Twisted Shift on March 1st, 2006. The cover artist, Fabiano Fabris, was amazing with the art, and he arranged things so that 10% of every sale will go to the Ali Forney Center for Homeless LGBT Youth (NYC). He's a very cool guy, so visit his site.
