Excellent Review
Rick R. Reed reviewed Alive on the Inside for Dark Scribe Magazine.
He calls it "by turns gruesome, shocking, tender, poignant, and nauseating (but in a good way fans of horror will understand)."

New Release: Showdown at Yellowstone River
Showdown at Yellowstone River is currently available from Pink Petal Books.
This is a heterosexual (for certain values of that orientation) Western.
Since I can't access the publisher's site (someone on past Dallas is too slow on the uptake and we keep timing out), have an excerpt rather than a blurb.

On a gray Saturday afternoon in mid-October, when his bad leg said snow was on the way, Matt had finished laying up his supplies and stopped in at the Purple Garter for a drink. He took a si...

Interview!
Reviews by Jessewave interviewed Naomi and me.
Hello Ladies and welcome. Why don't we start by having each of you tell us something about yourself?
Angelia: I'm Han Solo.
Naomi: I'm Errol Flynn.
And it only gets sillier from there.

An interview
I was spotlighted at The Oter Alliance, a group for GLBT SF/F/H.
I talked about Alive on the Inside, resources for parents of queer teens and character diversity.
Julia asked good interview questions and I hope I gave amusing answers.

Work in Progress Wednesday: Chain-Male
The next day dragged interminably. Chris came in at ten, as usual after a late night shift. He couldn't focus on coding MARC records into the computer, so he worked on filling interlibrary loan orders. When he realized he'd typed "Truth or Consequences New Mexico, consequences please" on a mailing label, he gave that up as a bad job and shelved the returned books.
He ate a tasteless sandwich from the campus grill for supper and loitered near the door of the building just to see what Jason drov...

Work in Progress Wednesday: untitled back story
David Inman had always thought of his body as one more tool, useful but only a carrying case for his mind. He had first used it to reward a loyal minion when he was twelve–the same year he'd first killed--only to discover that sex for its own sake meant little. He was well aware, however, that there were many men who coveted his slim fairness.
Men like the one recently seated across from him. Handsome and predatory, in his mid thirties and Middle Eastern looking. David sat in the interroga...

Work in Progress Wednesday
This will be an ongoing feature.
If you find a snippet you particularly like, please nag me about it. I will finish everything eventually.
This is an untitled steampunk piece, currently in progress for Samhain. Work Safe.
He moved fast, but cautiously. Henry had never been in a pirate attack, but he'd heard about them from other aeronauts. He knew if he hid in one place, they'd find him. It was best to keep moving. He needed a weapon. They'd probably kill him as easily as they had Gideon, but he...

Book Review: Ellora's Cavemen, Flovors of Ecstasy III
Buy here: http://www.jasminejade.com/ps-7606-16...
It's the height of ego to review your own book. Oh well.
I was excited beyond measure when I got word that "Brazen Cherry Tart" had been picked up for the Cavemen series. This is, after all, the flagship anthology, the one that can get your name out there.
When I saw the cover, I got more excited. It was hot. It wasn't weird. No one was molesting pumpkins or being anatomically improbably or having their ...
