Some General Updates

I've finished and submitted another short story for Evernight Publishing's Romance On The Go line. It's called The Right Time for Love . I've been offered a contract for it from Evernight so that is good news! I've not even received the contract yet so at this point I have no other news about it but will update the blog once I do.

I am working on The Crush, Revisited the first story in my planned trilogy. The others are The Secret, Revealed and The Lover, Reunited . All will make sense when the books are finished and are released by whoever I get a publishing contract with. I am *hoping* to have the first one finished sometime in April. these will be novella length stories though so they take me a bit longer than little short stories.

I know I've been doing a lot of short stories lately, but coming up in April will be Needing Seth . It's a novella length story and is loosely related to Admiring Jesse . Why? Because Seth makes a brief appearance as a secondary character in Jesse's story and Jesse makes a brief appearance in Seth's story.

Anyhow, those are the updates for now.

New Cover Love - Figuring it Out

Got my new cover from Evernight Publishing for my story, Figuring it Out , that releases on March 04, 2013. I think it is gorgeous. It's been chosen as an Editor's Pick by Evernight as well.

And here is the blurb for the story:

Gay, dramatic, and flamboyant, Avery Jennings first fell in love with Joe Gunderson back in their sophomore year of high school when Joe asked Avery to tutor him for an English Lit class. Avery didn't think he stood a chance with straight Joe and therefore hid his attraction to the handsome football player. When the tutoring ended, so did Avery's time with Joe. The years pass and both men go off to college. When Avery's boss at the diner introduces him to his new co-worker, he's shocked to come face-to-face with Joe.


Sometimes life brings someone back to you for a reason. Can Avery figure out what's between him and Joe before it's too late?

Admiring Jesse is out! Hooray!And Nancy is the winner so ...

And Nancy is the winner so I'll send Nancy her copy later this weekend. Thanks everyone.
