Wednesday Words #01 (PT’s #68)

I recently started following PT Wyant’s blog, Novel Notes, and stumbled across PT’s post today titled Wednesday Words #68 (4/13/2016). Number 68, so obviously this is something PT’s been doing for a while now. Anyway, the idea is that a few prompt words will be posted just after midnight, eastern time, and followers of the blog are encouraged to write a bit of flash fiction (approx. 500 words) using those words/ideas. This week’s prompt is: an old desk, a dancer, a ship.

I decided I would use...

A Great Review and an Announcement

I’m cautiouslypleased with how things are going so far with the release of my new book, ’Til Death Do Us Part. It’s been submitted for review at a number of review sites/blogs, and one has come through so far, but more have been promised.

Dyllan at Gay Book Reviews gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, and designated it a “Recommended Read.” Here’s a short excerpt from the review:

“I really, really, really liked this story. The author sets the pace well, and we are able to get to know the characters an...

It’s Release Day!

I’m pretty excited to announce my first release day in almost seven years! I’ve received some positive feedback on the story, and I’m very proud of it.

For this first week you can get it for 20% off if you buy direct from the publisher, JMS Books. After that, it’ll be regularly priced at $5.99. It’s novel length, coming in at upwards of 70K words, with 215 pages in PDF format. As a sweet bonus, when you buy from the publisher (as opposed to one of the distributors…Amazon, B&N, ARe, etc.), you get a full set of formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF, HTML) instead of having to make a choice and receiving only one.

For a long excerpt and all the details, go to my WordPress page for ’Til Death Do Us Part.

Already read it? Hoping for more? Check out what’s in the works on my WIP page.

BLURB

Henry and Sam Miller-Greene are living the dream. They love their careers — which afford each of them opportunities to travel to exotic locations — they love their home, Sam’s caring family, and each other. They disagree on the subject of adoption, but are fully committed to each other in marriage … ’Til Death Do Us Part.

The dream is shattered when Henry’s plane crashes, and he’s presumed dead. But four people — Henry, two other men, and a child — survive undetected on a remote, small, and insignificant island. Will Sam and Henry’s love be able to survive as well?

Henry fights to endure in harsh conditions, never knowing when disaster will strike. Sam struggles with his loss, but with help moves on with his life. Will Sam be able to put aside his new love when he reunites with Henry?
