Written, published and read

Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gao Xingjian said: “It’s in literature that true life can be found. It’s under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.” Truth is authenticity. The authentic lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people are celebrated when our stories are written, published and read. Those three steps transform […]

T-Minus Two now shipping & available for download

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new book. And I’m feeling good. Some books, frankly, are more fun to write than others. This one was a blast. Oh, I just made a rocket joke! Last one, I promise. But it’s true that I had great fun writing T-Minus Two. Lots of […]

Advance copies now shipping :-)

I received my author’s allotment of T-Minus Two late yesterday, and got all my early copies ready to go. Rozzie conducted her postal inspections this morning … ergo, several of the packages are now reinforced with tape so the teeth marks don’t snag. ;-) A huge THANK YOU to all who answered my call to […]

Early boarding for T-Minus Two

[UPDATED BELOW] Limited seating, little space in the overhead bin. Early boarding matters a lot on a trip to Mars, a journey of 140 million miles. But the real scramble for seating happens well before liftoff, when the Tenacity Project winnows its 40,000 applicants down to two. That’s the premise of my upcoming book, T-Minus […]

Item up for auction w/Update

No, I’m not auctioning Lucy Lawless. I just used that photo to get your attention. Now that I have it, I can tell you about The Greater Good. That’s a recurring theme in the show, Xena: Warrior Princess, and it carried over to fans from the show. The show’s been over for 14 years, but […]

The Real March Madness

Totally off-topic blog today. I promised on my homepage not to do this often, but this is one of those days. If you aren’t sure what March Madness is — and you don’t give a hoot about college basketball — feel free to skip this part and check below the jump for book updates. I […]

T-Minus Two

It’s the boldest conquest of our time—the colonization of Mars. Of the thousands who clamored for a one-way ticket to the Red Planet, only a fraction remain in the running. Now they’re converging on Hawaii’s Big Island for a nail-biting competition to be the first to launch. Mila Todorov has prepared for this moment throughout […]

Batteries now included

If I don’t do anything else in 2015 — a most unlikely scenario — I’ve already had a phenomenal year. I posted in my last blog that I was headed to the Xena convention in Burbank, but I haven’t had a chance to tell you about it because the moment I got home I had […]

Introducing T-Minus Two

I challenged the cover artists at Bella Books this time: “I need a cover for a book about two women who meet during a worldwide competition to be the first team to colonize Mars. Oh, and it’s set entirely in Hawaii.” It’s kind of early to start chattering about this book, since it isn’t due […]
