The Convention Odyssey
I have been traveling for most of the week.�� On Monday I was in Philadelphia staying with friends.�� Tuesday I caught my flight to Munich and landed on Wednesday and spent much of the day and night dealing with jet lag.�� Thursday I had arranged a tour of the castles Linderhoff and Neuschwanstein.�� They were beautiful.�� I have seen both of them before, but it was even better this time. The tickets were timed so there was no waiting in tons of lines.�� I was with Elizabeth and Lynn from Dreamspinner.�� There are some things you have to know.�� The … Continued

Guest: A.L. Boyd – Where I Write – Crest Ridge Blog Tour
My writing area has recently changed. Originally, my space was a desk in the living room stuck between a big bookcase and the TV stand. I would write there while hubby watched TV. All of Crest Ridge Vacation, most of the expansion novella Crest Ridge, and most of Love on the Divide were all written in the middle of that living room. I wrote through the distractions for several years, until April 2014 happened and everything changed. That photo is the remains of my former house. Everything was gone, including my writing space, computers, and all my notes. From April … Continued

Guest Blog: LoveLight Press Launch Tour – E. Davies
Thank you for hosting me on your blog! It’s my first-ever guest blog post, so I’m glad for the opportunity to share a little more about me for the first time. I’m relatively new to the M/M publishing world, having only started to publish M/M erotica in 2013 and my first romance novel in 2014. I’ve written gay fiction for years, but I never thought others would be interested in reading it. It’s been an exciting new career! Today, I wanted to talk about the difficulties of writing characters who are billionaires. It may seem like a one-percent problem, but … Continued

The Death of My Car
Almost a week ago we got��a bad storm and it knocked down the top of one of the trees between the sidewalk and the street.�� I actually had a call into��a tree service to come out to take a look at it, but mother nature had other ideas.�� The crown of the tree broke of and landed on top of my car.�� Needless to say my poor Mustang convertible went to car heaven.�� The fire department came in and cleared away the tree and branches.�� I called a towing company and they cleared away the car.�� Everything was going smoothly. … Continued

Stories and Television
I was just watching a show about Filo Farnsworth and in case you don’t know, he’s the man who invented television and believe it or not, he never made a dime on it.�� In essence this invention which for most of us is part of our daily life, was stolen him by the man who ran RCA.�� It really pissed me off.�� But it also got me thinking, I was watching the program about Farnsworth on a television, at least a descendant of the television he invented.�� That got me thinking about how television has affected the stories we want … Continued

At the Hershey Elegance
This past weekend, Dominic and I attended the Hershey Elegance antique car show at the Hershey Hotel.�� It was a lot of fun.�� We wandered through the cars and saw some amazing automobiles from every era imaginable.�� However the best part of the event was the people watching.�� There were the boys dressed as newsies for their car, the woman who looked like she came right out of the Ascot racetrack scene of My Fair Lady.�� Her black and white outfit was elegant and her hat was massive.�� She looked perfect when she sat on the back seat of the … Continued

Release Day Nerves
I al always as nervous and heck on release day.�� Will readers like the book?�� Will it find an audience?�� I sit in my chair and obsessively check Amazon and other places to see if its doing okay, as if me checking is going to make any difference.�� The simple thing is that release days should be happy days and I’m trying to make them that.�� I have just put one of my creations out in the world. Good or bad, its out there and people can read and talk about it.�� I really hope they will do both with … Continued

Saving Faithless Creek – The Idea!!!
Sometimes I get ideas for stories and I have no idea where they came from, Saving Faithless Creek is one of those stories.�� I did get an interesting idea and wanted to see if I could make it work.�� As a gay kid, I was bullied, even though at the time, I didn’t understand about being a gay kid and I wasn’t out of the closet in high school.�� But I didn’t fit in and of course I had some kids who decided that since I was smaller than them, I was someone to be picked on.�� So I started … Continued
