My Favorite Husband (Sin)
AJ Llewellyn had me laughing from the jump. I began this series in the middle and am looking forward to going back and reading the others. It is apparent that this long-running series is a definite need for my shelf. Not only was the author able to create such great characters, he infuses so much humor in the life of a vamp, that it surely must be as chaotic. Yet in all the chaos, a deep love shines, and grows. I fell in love with Div and Tem, sighed over François and wanted to adopt the cat.
Black Point Christmas (Lilyraines)
I enjoyed reading this installment of the Blackpoint books. So much, in fact, that I look forward to exploring the series further. I found both Matt and Thomas, as well as their various family members, very engaging and believable. The setting is nice too and makes me, at least, think of being right there. Highly recommended.

Making Yourself Hot
breezyCategory: Writing and PoetrySo I was at an Oscar party like almost everybody else in L.A. on Sunday and one of the people present asked me about writing sex scenes for my books.
"Do you ever turn yourself on with your scenes?" he asked.
Hell yeah! I mean, if I didn't…if my scenes don't get me at least er…happy, how can I expect my readers to get worked up over them?
I think long and hard about each sex scene I write. Sometimes they're brief and hot, sometimes they're long...

One of the most coveted, most stolen books in the Los Angeles Public Library System is a book called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I figured this title had to be a joke at first. I discovered the joke was on me when I realized Austen's novel of love and small minded British folk was not the only classic to receive the 'mash' treatment. Authors are weaving zombie tales set during the same era in and out of the original texts.
I took the...

This is my first blog as An Amber Quill Press author and I'm thrilled to be talking about my second book with them.
Firstly, I owe it to the dangerously talented (and sexy, too!) author Rick R. Reed for suggesting to our publisher Trace Edward Zaber that he should invite me to submit a story for his approval. He did, and I did…and my first book, Deeper Blue came out at Amber Allure last October.
I have loved my whole...

So I am in chilly, but beautiful Austin, TX visiting my best friend Tam and her two-year old daughter Lola. We have been friends for 15 years and although Tam travels a lot, with a baby and her busy working life — not to mention my busy working life– I am finally on her home turf visiting her and little Miss Lola. I came armed with a Fancy Nancy tutu, matching purse and sunglasses (am I gay or what?) and tried not think of all...

Lessons in Erotica
Current mood: artistic
Category: Writing and Poetry
I am often asked by readers and interviewers what I have learned as an author of gay erotic romances. I've learned a lot. So much in fact, I have assembled a top 10 list of Lessons in Erotica.
10. I am no longer shy using words like 'penis' in public. Yes, I walked into an adult boutique the other day to purchase penis cupcake pans as gifts for a couple of readers. The store assistant called them pecker pans. They're penis pans, woman...

Stolen Memories

Category: Life
My love for Hawaii is no secret to anyone who has ever read my books. My passion encompasses the island's myths, its spiritual history and its monarchy, of which I feel fiercely protective.
So it came as a shock today when I saw an item on Ebay claiming to be the last Queen, Lili'uokalani's music cabinet.
Priced at a hefty $12.5 million, I felt indignant that this item was not being returned to Iolani Palace, where, had it truly belonged to the Queen, means i...
