Book News

So, I have finished, More Than Anything , and it's tentatively scheduled to release October 30, 2011 as part of the Hot College Daze series.

Anyhow, I don't know if I'll have this as my cover or an individual cover at this point but I will update as I know.

In addition, I am currently working on a book for two secondary characters from the book, Bart and Evan, who will get their own story, More Than Enough .

So, that is the latest. Busy busy Shawn.

Cookies or Candy, anyone?

What's New

I'm getting a lot written on More Than Anything , my Hot College Daze story. It's the one and only story I'm working on at the moment so that helps. I've got over 16,000 words done on it. I'm still not entirely sure about whether I will do a Part One: Shayne and Desmond and Part Two: Bart and Evan or if I'll just make Bart and Evan into a separate offering. Right now, the 16,000 plus words are all Shayne and Desmond. Either way you'll get both stories with only two men having a POV at the time.

I'm toying with doing another free Kevin story which, if I do it, I will upload to ARe. The two I already included there ended up doing well and Car Wash got a bump in sales too, so it's all good.

That's about it for now. At the end of the month my very short story, Hitting it Big , about two guys re-connecting after one of them wins the lottery, will be out. It's pretty much a fun little short, but it does have a minor secondary character I might visit at some point in 2012. We shall see since that's still way into the future at this point.

Inspirational, No?

Over the Weekend

This past weekend I reconnected with my bff who I had been missing terribly and that was wonderful. I also went and saw the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus's Totally 80's show. I have season tickets to the chorus and they generally do three shows a year, this one is their last of the 2010/2011 season.

And it was fantastic! They did so many great 80s songs and were all dressed up like many of the most famous people of the 80s.

There was one moment where they sang the song Thriller but they used it to represent AIDS in the 1980s and so while they sang about 3/4s of the members walked off stage representing those that succumbed to the disease. It was very moving.    

I also bought a raffle ticket for $10 where I can win all kinds of cool prizes. One of which is to direct them for a song at their upcoming 2011 Holiday show. I don't have a clue how to direct a chorus, but wouldn't that be an awesome experience?

Anyway, if you are ever in LA during one of their performances I would highly recommend getting tickets. Here are some videos if you'd like to know more about them:

A Few Updates

Today is the last day to enter the contest to be one of two winner of Lost Between and Hitting it Big . I'll post the winners Saturday, July 9th.

I don't have any releases in August, so after these two go out, the next releases will be Can't Be His in early September and Devotedly His in early October.

That brings me through D in the alpha His series. The first one I will be doing for next year will be Eternally His and will be my first foray into vampires.I won't be working on that one for a while though.

I'm doing good on my college boys story, More Than Anything . I am quite certain I will have it done well before the deadline of September 01.

And that will leave me plenty of time to concentrate on what I want to write the last three months of the year.

A Ghostly Affair Pax - Coming This Weekend From Amber Quill

Promotion time. This weekend marks the release of the Amber Allure Pax, A Ghostly Affair.
[image error] Besides, my one and probably only ghost story, I have the privilege of being included with four other stories from some great authors. If you aren't a winner of Lost Between ( and Hitting it Big) I hope you will consider purchasing the entire pax (or even if you are if the all stories appeal to you).
