Becoming His Release Change

Good news for those of you anxious to read, Becoming His . Due to a scheduling change, it will be out this weekend, June 05, 2011, one week early.

For months, Toby Sherwood, a stripper in a gay club, has been a fan of bisexual actor Lucas Cartwright and his cable detective show, Harrow's Eyes. So when Toby's invited to a taping of the show, he can hardly wait. Too bad the hunky actor has a girlfriend.

Lucas was charmed by Toby when he originally met the man at the hospital during his brother's accident. When he breaks up with his girlfriend shortly after Toby visits the set of his show, Lucas begins to romance him.

With concerns over Lucas's career and Toby's dancing for other men, can the hot actor and the sexy stripper find happiness in each other's arms?

Weekly Update

Not much to report. I'm working on my college love story, More Than Anything , exclusviely and it's taking up all my writing time. I'm liking it, though.

On Thursday, June 02, 2011, Chris at Stumbling Over Chaos, will be hosting a giveaway for Becoming His . I'll post the link here when the time comes.

I actually got this picture when my friends did a blog post on him. I looked him up after that and found these picture of him. As you can see, he's quite feminine.

  

Quick Update

So, as I think I've mentioned, I am writing my college boys themed story (the details are on Amber Quill's site for any of you adventurous sorts who want to try getting into AQ) and I came to a recent decision.


As I was writing it, I realized I really had two couples to write about. Besides what started off as the main couple of Shayne and Des, I was enamored of the secondary characters of Bart and Evan.

I thought about a couple of things with them. I could get them together as a couple in the story but not have any real focus on them, rather have Shayne and Des say, oh and Bart and Evan seem so great together. That kind of thing.

Or I could write a separate story telling their romance.

I didn't really care for either option, because I didn't like the idea they wouldn't get spotlighted and I didn't have a clue when I could get to write a story just for them as I am filled up on the schedule for a long time to come.

My solution was to write both couples story in the same novella. So, yeah, my college story is going to include two romances and basically four points of view. Will it get confusing? Maybe, But I'm going to give it a shot.

I run the risk of readers liking one couple over the other but yeah that happens in all books written. Some couples are more popular than others.

We'll see how it goes. Ava seems to think I should just write two separate stories, but I am fighting that right now, lol.

And…I think…I'm going to go with the title More Than Anything .

It means no "name that book" contest but I reserve that option for a book I will be working on after the college story so have no fear that one is still coming.

Weekly News

Don't have anything to report at the moment.

I'm working on my unnamed college story. It's not due for a while but it's the only story I have that has a deadline so I decided I may as well get it done early.

I'm thinking of having a name that story contest if I can't magically come up with a title soon. If I do, I'm going to not only give away a book but perhaps a gift certificate. We shall see. Stay tuned on that.

I've already chopped some out of the story and started a new part, but may add back in what I chopped at another point. I should do the Ava March thing and write out the plot for myself so I don't forget my plans…but I won't. LOL.

Quickie

I don't have much to say since I've been goofing off most of the week. You'd think I was Ava between books. Well, not entirely I did write about 2.5 pages on Finding Forver (Sutter's Bay 4), Leo's story. But that's it and I'm not trying too hard. I'll get back to writing in earnest next week.

Enjoy the pretty boy.

Weekly News

I've been busy, so I have some news.

I completed my ghost story, Lost Between , and submitted it with the forms to AQ. It's scheduled for July 10, 2011 and will be part of the A Ghostly Affair Pax.

This means Hitting it Big has been scheduled for the very last day of July, July 31. It's a very short story, might be my shortest yet.

Also, the first three Sutter's Bay stories will be out in paperback at the end of August, simply titled Sutter's Bay, Volume One.

Now...on to the next work in progress.
