The To-Do List of Silk
I just finished reading that, by the by. The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz is the first Sherlock Holmes novel authorized by the Conan Doyle Estate. A very credible job, and I enjoyed it greatly.
So… it’s been a few months since I last updated the state of the writer. Not much is going on right now — my son is out of school, and my writing time is strictly curtailed. So, for the summer, I’m doing some fun writing (aka Sherlock fanfiction. Bringing that series to a close), and working out th...

No Anaheim for me
Well, that’s the end. I won’t be starting over, because there isn’t enough time before Nationals. Thank you all to everyone who pitched in.
I’ll let you all know what happens with the award!

Bent metal from a twisted mind…
Since I’m already TECHNICALLY doing a bake sale ($40 into the Indiegogo drive gets you cookies), I had to figure out what else do to to help raise money.
Did you all know I was also a jeweler? Or that I had an Etsy shop?
I’m running a sale there, to help raise money. Check it out! 20% off everything in the shop, until July 13th.

Anaheim or bust!
I just did something that I’ve never done before…
I set up a crowdsourcing project. If this works, I’ll be able to go to Anaheim to see Princes of Air (hopefully) win the Passionate Plume.
If not… no harm, no foul. I can at least say I tried.

And the good news keeps on coming!
I found out when I opened my email this morning that Princes of Air has finaled in the Passionate Plume contest — the published contest of the Passionate Ink chapter of the Romance Writers of America!
Oh… me…
This is a big deal for me. Not only is this contest judging the best of published erotica in the RWA… but Princes didn’t even make the cut last year, when I entered it as an unpublished manuscript in the Stroke of Midnight (the Passionate Ink unpublished contest).
Do I care if I win? I don’...

Addendum to that last posting
About a month ago, I heard from Circlet that Nobilis Reed, of the Nobilis Erotica podcast, was going to do an excerpt of Princes of Air sometime on the next month of so. They’d tell me when it went live.
It went live last week. (Oops!)
I have never heard my own words read by someone else. It is the most EXTRAORDINARY feeling! And he does a magnificent job of it.
Wow!

It’s OUT!
Well, that’s a surprise! Although, given that this is a Trickster book, I shouldn’t be surprised at anything, I guess.
Like a Cunning Plan is now available for sale on Amazon!
