Book news
I’m very pleased to announce that I’ve signed a contract with Bottom Drawer Publications for the expanded version of Cutting Out, my Oz MM Meet anthology story. There are a lot of gaps in Shane and Lachie’s story as it stands now, so I’m filling them in. Those boys haven’t quite finished with me yet. 
The expanded version should be done by the end of the year (side note: can you believe it’s November already? How did that happen), so I expect that the book will be out sometime early 2014. BDP...

Blokes in Love (new free read)
I break my accidental blog hiatus to say that I’ve updated my book pages with some changes. First of all,my novella Rust Red: Galvanized, which is a sequel to my free readEyes Wide Shut, has now gone out of print. So if you wanted to grab it, you’re out of luck, I’m afraid. At least until I decide what I’m going to do with it.
Second of all,the first M/M meetup in Australia has come and gone. I flew over to Sydney to attend it, and had a fab time, which I will attempt to put into words sometim...

Truce now available as a freebie from ARe
I’ve spent a teeth-grindingly frustrating afternoon formatting Truce for publication through All Romance ebooks for those of you who like to have your freebies in ebook form, and eventually came out victorious. I have now confirmed that section breaks are a tool of Satan. Not that I didn’t know that before.
Anyway! Truce now has a pretty cover, courtesy of my good friend LJ LaBarthe, and is available in PDF, Mobi and ePub formats here, still absolutely 100% free.
I did my best to check all the...

Free fiction: Truce. Rockstar m/m for Ms Tushmore on the occasion of her birthday
A little while ago, Ms Melanie Tushmore announced that what she would really love for her birthday was some fic, written by her writerly friends. Because she is a considerate lass, she left us some prompts to choose from, and when one of the prompts is something that looks like this:
how could I possibly resist?
Scraping in under the deadline by the skin of my teeth, here is some rockstar m/m for your reading pleasure. It features new, never before seen characters, but there is a cameo by every...

The food and landscape of Whitewater
Two things are quite important in Whitewater: food, and Coogee Beach.
If you bought the paperback of the anthology, you will know already that there’s a glossary in it, that explains some Aussie terms, and on my part, provides some information on the Australian-specific food mentioned in Whitewater. I am quite keen for people to be able to picture the food that Luke makes accurately, and to that end I’ll reproduce here the explanations and recipe links that are in the glossary in the paperback...

Whitewater available now
My new novella, Whitewater, is now available. You can get it from Dreamspinner here or from All Romance ebooks here.
I’ve mentioned before that Whitewater is part of an anthology of novellas set in Australia and written by Australian authors: myself, LJ LaBarthe, Isabelle Rowan, RJ Astruc and Robyn Walker. The novellas are available as separate ebooks or together in a print edition. If you’d like to take a gander at the other stories, you can find them all on their very own page at Dreamspinne...
