“We’ll play it by ear,” said Zam Johnson, and it all worked out to the good, when he and his wife, myself, Gian Luca Morleni and other friends came together to hang-out, have some drinks and enjoy the festival atmosphere … Continue reading →

My Memoir: "The Boys Who Died" (Biographies & Memoirs)

updated Apr 14, 2013 05:31am
Description:
"It wasn’t until twenty years later I found out why his eyes looked like that, why they were always reluctant to meet anyone’s, those beautiful steel blue eyes surrounded by dark lashes, outstanding against his pale lightly freckled skin and ash brown hair. Why there was a terrifying darkness in them which went beyond the pupils, a shadow which breathed sorrow in every glance...."

“Do you remember the sight we saw, my soul,
that soft summer morning
round a turning in the path,
the disgusting carcass on a bed scattered with stones,
its legs in the air like a woman in need
burning its wedding poisons
like a fountain with its rhythmic sobs,
I could hear it clearly flowing with a long murmuring sound,
but I touch my body in vain to find the wound.
I am the vampire of my own heart,
one of the great outcasts condemned to eternal laughter
who can no longer smile.
Am I dead?
I must be dead.”

Yes, got a number of cousins there and very good friends who are close with my family.

Meet the Author: Red Haircrow now going on (more or less :-) at Dreamspinner Press Group here on Goodreads:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...
Drop by if you can, it lasts for 2.5 more hours..
Correction: my "Meet the Author" chatdate at the DSP group on Goodreads is the 24TH of March, not today. Sorry for the mix-up!
Along with our other titles, "Night Shift" has now been added as a free ebook at Smashwords "Read an Ebook Week"! https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Currently chatting at Love Romances Café for the Dreamspinner Press publisher chat date, which lasts from 4-11pm EST time zone. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveRom... Drop by if you can!
LOL no problem, I was actually in bed, of course, but especially because I'd popped some stitches the day before and was in a lot of pain. So no celebrating for me.

Great to hear everything is going well :)hmmm, looking around here reminds me I should pick up one of your works somewhere and read it ;)
Yes, we spent the day in Poland, the weather was quite nice and we had an easy flight to Berlin after that.
Nancy wrote: "Hope you're doing OK. Just got back from Poland..."And I'm headed to Poland in a couple weeks before going home to Germany. Hope it was a good flight, wondering if I'll be using the same airline.
Hope you're doing OK. Just got back from Poland and got a computer virus that wiped out most of my files and e-books.
Headed for a graduation celebration tonight to meet lots of cousins from Rosebud and Pine Ridge rez, South Dakota. Should be a rocking time!
I'm still around. Went to Maine this weekend and next Sunday will be leaving for Poland. My letter is on its way.
Working on getting a story ready for release next week. It's titled "The Caravaggio and the Swan". Tentative blurb, though I'll probably have a few versions of it anyway:"Despite a long-time, loving partner, Michael becomes enamored with a beautiful young man online, corresponding fervently, soon inviting him into their home. But he learns a choice must be made between "The Caravaggio and the Swan", and it is not his to make."
A bittersweet tale, which seems to be my preference...
Currently packing books I am going to keep, to be shipped later. I think that's easier than trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to do with my other inventory.
A new interview with Red Haircrow just came out today at the Bibrary Bookslut http://bibrary.blogspot.com/2011/04/s...It's a general interview about writing, personal comments etc. but also about my title Night Shift.
It's a moment for "Venelite" by Agnes Buen Garnås & Jan Garbarek. Scandinavian neo-Renaissance musical beauty.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eUKR8...
The PastThou unrelenting Past!
Strong the barriers round thy dark domain,
And fetters, sure and fast,
Hold all that enter thy unbreathing reign.
Far in thy realm withdrawn,
Old empires sit in sullenness and gloom,
And glorious ages gone
Lie deep within the shadow of thy womb.
--William Cullen Bryant
Are you one of those people who use the "f" word to refer to gay people, even playing with your friends? Some of us don't like it, and feel it is no better than other racist terms, even if it used with people who don't mind. My article at Queer Magazine Online, 18 March 2011: "The Other 'F' Word." http://www.queermagazineonline.com/in...
Published a work of short fiction, "The Coat: Secrets of a Hatcheck Boy," it's a free read if you visit Smashwords https://www.smashwords.com/books/view... use this coupon code PN46V.

Created a page for my character, Katrdeshtr the Night Cat, on Facebook. If the link doesn't work, all you have to do is search his name and he appears ;-)https://www.facebook.com/pages/Katrde...
Ironically enough, it is really great fun to have a dialogue with him, read his comments, etc. He does have a distinct personality, but like all the people in my books, they are some aspect of myself as well.

Posted a couple of comments on Christopher Koehler's blog post at Queer Magazine Online: "Strange Bedfellows: The Media, Women and M/M Fiction Romance". The article addresses the topic of heterosexual women writing m/m fiction from an objective perspective, as I did in my article "Female Writers of M/M: My Thoughts".
Researching for a novel project, I got carried away this weekend while investigating history books which would assist me in creating the correct "feel" and setting for my story. Physical mailbox is rather small. With the amount of books I've purchased, and they'll all be arriving at random times, I probably should be more vigilant than usual waiting for the post worker so they won't be overburdened with packages/boxes.
Thank you.
