GRL & Devil Take Me

And I'm off to GRL! By the time this post goes live I will be at the Key West airport before sunup, bleary eyed and maybe sipping less than stellar coffee while I wait to board. I will be landing in Portsmouth, VA in the early afternoon, where my fantastic friends and fellow authors, Jenna Kendrick and Felice Stevens, will pick me up on their drive in.

If you are attending GRL, I hope to see you throughout the long weekend! Here is my schedule. These are events I'm guaranteed to be at. (Otherw...

Off to Orlando!

I'm heading out today for my publisher's annual author conference. I'll be in Orlando for a few days talking books, breathing books, and living books. It's a wonderful opportunity that I'm endlessly thankful Dreamspinner Press takes on, as it energizes a lot of authors and pushes us to be the best we can be for readers like you.

But meanwhile, while I'm talking craft and maybe partaking in a drink or two, there are major sales on all novels, novellas, and short stories! Happy reading and remem...

$1.99 Mystery-Romances

For the month of September I have two mystery-romances on sale as part of Amazon's Monthly Kindle Deal! I am humbled to have my titles chosen and hope that while mine are the only LGBT books within the mystery genre, this will introduce mainstream readers to stories they didn't know existed and encourage more LGBT protagonists in the future!

France & Germany in 2019

I've bought my plane tickets for my visit to Paris and Leipzig next year, which makes the trip official! I will be arriving in London on March 12, 2019 before hopping over to Paris for the Salon du Livre from March 15 - 18, and then again to Leipzig for Buchmesse from March 21 - 24.

It's too early to make plans, but for sure I would love the opportunity to meet up with friends and readers if you're around any of these three cities! And if you're attending either book event, let me know!

I will...
