Ye Olde Updates Post

I have so many tales to tell but I can't really wrap my head around getting things out. So many updates and things abuzz, but my brain is mostly abuzz, which makes everything cottony and hard to sort.

If that made sense to you, you win.

So I have another book accepted by Loose Id, date of release not yet settled on, but it's about a firefighter and a cross-dressing actor. Tootsie meets Backdraft. Okay, not really. Very romcom and sexy, of course.

Aside from that, I've been writing and editing...

Three Dollar Bill Reviews "A Certain Pressure In the Pipes"

Another encouraging review for "A Certain Pressure in the Pipes" is up on Three Dollar Bill Reviews.

"I honestly laughed out loud when I read the blurb about the pleasuring machine and when introduced in the story, the scene is not only hot but very enjoyable. It's funny, tongue in cheek (both cheeks!) and sets up some great lines between the men. Conrad's sense of the absurd really makes the story fun to read."

I'm very happy that the...

Book Trailer for A Certain Pressure in the Pipes

This is my first movie and it's a book trailer for my novella "A Certain Pressure in the Pipes" by Clancy Nacht. It's available now on NobleRomance.com and Amazon.com. It's a campy gay Steampunk romp with sexy results—tons of fun for a summer read.

A Certain Pressure in the Pipes Review

I've been kind of flying under the radar as far as reviews have been concerned so it was great to be surprised by this when it came up in my google alerts. I'm terribly excited, which is dorky, but then, I'm pretty excited any time anyone reads my stories to start with, so there you go. I'm a dork. We all knew that.

"A Certain Pressure in the Pipes," my Steampunk, m/m erotica story received a lovely review at Seriously Reviewed:

"A Certain Pressure in the Pipes was a surprise for me. I haven't ...

Audio Post Announcing Release Date of Black Gold

Black Gold has a tentative release date of November 23 with Loose Id! You heard it here first, literally.

Black Gold is a m/m glam rock fantasy about a punk rocker and a pop star finding love and making beautiful music together in a world of spin, fame, and money that threatens to tear them apart.

Inertia of too much to do

Hello. I'm Clancy Nacht and I'm an overcommitment addict.

(hello)

See, for a long time I wasn't feeling very motivated to write things. You know how it is, you just left fandom, you want to tackle original stuff, but suddenly you have to deal with new voices, a new world, new situations. You've gone from a very controlled universe to Anything You Want.

It's big. Too big. You don't know where to start. So, you hit Duotrope.

And sure, it's great for tracking your submissions, for knowing when...

Doing my fanfic roots

Sometimes I get nostalgic for fandom. Over the weekend, there was a Harry Potter convention in Orlando. I've never gone to any Potter conventions. Conventions, in general, are counter intuitive to me. Usually I have to be paid to make myself available to throngs of people, not the other way around.

Even though it is theoretically a convergence of people who have the same interests as me, being social on demand is difficult. Especially in person. Frankly, I find it a miracle I even get through ...

Research: Pioneer Farms

I found out that there was a "living history park" not far from where I live. Unfortunately, the day I went, history was not coming alive. Only a couple of the houses were manned by people. Wasps—and I'm talking wasps as big as your hand—were out in full force.

It was in the upper 90s and a lot of the trail was directly in the sun. So it was pretty darn hot. But that in itself says a lot about the area and the kind of work that people were doing out in that kind of weather.

I think the photos t...

Do you see me, do you care

So.

I'm still working out this whole marketing thing and one thing I see and hear a lot is: Readers want to see your picture. They want to connect with you.

And, if you dig around not very deeply, you'll find a picture of me. A slightly older picture from a modeling shoot I did a couple of years ago. And really, a couple of years. Not the "a couple of years in the grand scheme of the age of the world, 20 years is barely a blip" sort. The make-up and shadows are dramatic. You may or may not...

Softcore History

I'm currently doing some research for a new novel/novella I'm writing. I actually started this story from a dream I had, but as all dreams need, there are details that have to be nailed down, hammered out, and otherwise put in their place.

As this is a historical story that I'm pretty sure will be antebellum South, I'm reading about plantations and slaves. No, it's not a slave story. But it's part of the life of a planter and they will figure into the plot at some stage, so I'm pawing through ...
