Free Fiction Friday – The Big Hunt
Author’s Note: New story, a bit different this time. I’m working on a new world with a new species, so I’d appreciate any feedback you feel like giving. Assuming I can find the time, I’d like to write a novel featuring these creatures, so I’d like to hear what works and what doesn’t. And just to warn you, there is a bit of M/F romance in this. Weird, I know!

Free Fiction Friday – Broken Wrist
This week we’ve got another alternate POV story, from Charias again, of the scene where he accidentally breaks Izeri’s wrist. If you ever wondered if it was really an accident, here’s what really happened.

I’ve also set up a page on my website for me to list my current goals and how well I’m progressing toward reaching them. You can check it out here: Goals.

February Update
The month in review:
February has been a pretty good month. I was not called for jury duty, I sold some copies of Broken Wings, I had only one attack of allergies, I heard from my publisher concerning termination contracts for Magebound and Spellwrought, I started making plans to go to Michigan this summer, and I didn’t miss a single scheduled update or post. Woot!
For a brief time, BW was ranked #1 in both the Gay Erotica and Fantasy genres on Smashwords. Then data from off-site sales came in...

Free Fiction Friday – Savage Beasts
Last week, a suggestion was made on my Tumblr (where I post excerpts on WIP Wednesdays) that I write a story about centaurs. So I wrote a story about centaurs. This is what happens when you toss me a plot-bunny. ^_^ I hope you enjoy. As usual, there could be more to this story and maybe some day there will be, but for now, this will have to do.

Free Fiction Friday – When Charias Met Izeri
This week, I’ve got a Broken Wings alternate POV story for you, from Charias’ POV. When Charias Met Izeri
Next week, I’m planning something new, probably a one-shot having something to do with centaurs, since I don’t think I’ve done a story about them yet.

Free Fiction Friday – Space Adventures
All right, the fact that this week’s story begs for more goes without saying. I plan on making this a continuing series, updated infrequently for now, but it may eventually take the place of Moonlight once Moonlight is finished. For now, let me know what you think, and if you have an idea for the name of the space ship, let me know!

January Update 2013
I love having good news to share. ^_^
Broken Wings has far exceeded my expectations. In the two weeks that it’s been out, it’s sold 26 copies (which I realize isn’t that many, but all things considered, it’s pretty awesome) and is currently the #3 Bestselling E-book in Gay Erotica and the #4 Bestseller in Fantasy. And, the really exciting part is that the #2 book in Gay Erotica has been published for two years, and the #1 book has been out for three years. And mine’s been out for two weeks! Ye...

Free Fiction Friday – Empathy For the Devil
Hey, it’s Free Fiction Friday! I didn’t forget, really. I’ve had a nasty cold and this week’s story turned out longer than I’d thought it would be. I only just finished it, which means it’s probably full of typos. XP
Empathy For the Devil is one of those stories that I always imagined writing a book about someday, so there’s a lot more to these two characters than I was able to fit in here. Maybe one day I’ll find the time to finish fleshing out the story, but for now, enjoy!
I also want to say...
