I know I've been soooooper quiet round these parts, but that's good news in a way, since quiet = busy. I'm wrapping up edits on Power Play: Awakening with Cat Grant (yeah, a bit uncomfortably down to the wire on that one, I know), and I've started a new project in the Belonging Verse. I'm only about 6,000 words into it so far, and I'm not quite sure what shape it's taking or where it's going, but it follows a freeman with a heavy load on his shoulders, and I'm pretty sure he'll be auctioning...

Today's the official release day of Power Play: Resistance, the 90,000-word kinkapalooza (Part 1 of 2) I co-wrote with Cat Grant. To celebrate, we're going on a little blog tour round the interwebs, showering prizes at every stop. We'll be giving away backlist books and/or swag at each site we visit, and at the end of the tour, one lucky commenter will win a classic Nook pre-loaded with six titles from me and Cat.

And we're off! (A day early, even--horray for Riptide!) You can download it now at the Riptide site only (and at Amazon, B&N, ARe, etc. on Monday), and it still counts as a pre-release until 12 AM Monday morning, so it earns you an entry into Riptide's Free Books for a Year drawing, too :-)

Give me six months, and I'll give you the world.

Last weekend, I attended the Rainbow Book Fair on behalf of Riptide Publishing. It was actually more fun this year than last year, which I didn't think was possible, so next year, if you find yourself able to make it down to NYC for the day, definitely do--you won't be sorry!

Lots of amazing things and amazing people, authors as well as readers. It's so wonderful to talk to folks, and especially interesting to connect with people who don't read ebooks or maybe even have computers, who come to ...

Hello all! If I can ever find the cord for my camera, I'll have Rainbow Book Fair pictures for you soon. In the meanwhile, I'm doing edits on Power Play: Awakening and came across a blowjob scene I really liked. Thought it might be fun to share :-D So, er, hotness beneath a jump for very NSFW-ness.

Hello all! Just popping in to say ARe is holding a 50% rebate sale today only, site-wide. That means every one of my titles comes with a 50% rebate, and so does every one of Riptide's titles. Riptide titles are almost never discounted, so if you've been eyeballing one (or two, or ten ;-p) for a while now, today's your chance to pick it up at a rare discount.

And since it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to have a blog post that's basically just a sales pitch, here, have a cookie. Heck, have two....

For mine and Cat Grant's second book in the Power Play series, Power Play: Awakening, releasing on June 11. Beneath the jump for mild raciness (well, okay, for shibari and a hint of butt). Click to embiggen. Trust me, you want to :-D

Today is a rare occurrence round these parts for two reasons. For one, it's a leap year, and I'm celebrating with a lovely group of authors by joining in a blog hop and giving away some free books. I've put up all my first-in-series stuff: Counterpoint, Anchored, and Master Class, and you can win just by commenting on this post. There are lots of other great prizes to go around too, so be sure to visit all the other blogs on the hop!

My other rare occurrence is that I finished the first draft ...
