Until Friday our historical loose id titles are 99 cents
I went all Crazy Bruce about it on my blog. The sale at Amazon ends on Friday.
Also, if you're reading this on Monday, November 26, you should run over to Samhainpublishing.com and buy a bunch of books. They'll be 40% off if you put "cybermonday" in the special code place thingie.
In other news, I got to read a book by Finn Marlowe, who is a terrific writer.
Did you read this article? It's about heroes and heroines as dogs. http://www.heroesandheartbreakers.com...
I keep thinking of new ones, but won't post them because that would make me appear too eager and desperate. Which I might well be, but no reason to parade the fact.

AAB
I took part in the authors against bullying event. at my regular blog
I don't usually jump on bandwagons because
1. I'm not invited
2. they don't strike me as effective. I mean a blog about cancer doesn't bother cancer cells and a blog about pollution isn't going to be noticed by policy makers.
Bullying is different. Most of it is about words and the more words flung at it, the better.
Even if no one else pays attention to my words, I can remind myself to be more mindful of my interactions.
But now I can climb down from the bandwagon and get back to snark, but only the carefully applied sort.

A new m/m by me
I had such good time writing a short contemporary for the m/m group, I wrote another novella.
This one's called Game On and it's about a bright but stuffy lawyer and an adult who acts as like a teenager.
* * *
Grant knows his fellow-lawyers think of him as a calm but distant person. At the moment he’s furious: some guy has been swimming in his pool.
Ned visits pools to jump-start his creativity. When one homeowner flips out, Ned's apologetic--and intrigued.
When they meet again, Ned decides he has to convince Grant he’s not trying to ruin his life and career, and that the attraction of opposites can be very good...very, very good.
* * *
Anyway, it's cheap--99 cents. It's a novella, although reading it will take longer than drinking a cup of coffee so you will get a better deal than you would at Starbucks or even Dunkin Donuts.
It's over at Smashwords and Amazon and Barnes and Noble --although the cute cover Linda Gayle did for me seems to have vanished there. Hmm. As soon as I get my act together, it'll be at All Romance Ebooks.
If you read it, let me know what you think.

Hey! HEY!
I have a new book out. It's a m/f romance, a novella (about 30,000 words) and a paranormal.
Elemental Man
It's about a superhero who's an ordinary guy...except for that bizarre ability to adapt to fire, water and air.
Someone is shoving innocents into dangerous situations. Again and again Caleb is forced to act--until he decides he must stop the person who's trying to draw him out.
He already suspected his attractive neighbor is his stalker and then she demonstrates the rare ability of seeing him as he adapts. After Caleb confronts her, he has another problem on his hands. He’s told the innocent civilian Melinda far too much about himself and she apparently has some extraordinary skills herself.
Her extraordinary skills might make Melinda a target of the nuisance who's stalking Caleb. And, thanks to his mistake, the nuisance of an agency that controls his life has been alerted to her existence as well. Caleb decides he has to protect and hide her from his friends and foes. Maybe she won't notice he's pretending she could be part of his life permanently.

I have a blog somewhere else
goodreads claims some old biddy named kate rothwell claimed it, and two people aren't allowed to claim the same link. So much for group blogs.
Here's the blog although it's not the hive of activity it once was. Facebook, twitter, dogs and kids take up the slack.
