Someplace in this World

Torquere Books has just release an anthology Someplace in this World a collection of short stories dealing with the topic of home. Here's the blurb:

“Is there a place for me in this world? Someplace I can call home?” Home isn’t always the place we start from. Sometimes we have to search long and hard to discover our true home. Other times we leave home, only to discover that our home place calls us back. We may seek far and wide for a home, only to find we’ve been there all along. And sometimes, we have to stand and fight for home.

In this full-length anthology featuring contemporary, historical, fantasy, and steampunk stories, some of Torquere's favorite authors bring us stories of gay men seeking, finding, rediscovering, or struggling to find that one place in the world where they truly belong.

Each of these nine stories treads a unique pathway, but at the end of the journey, these talented authors bring their characters home.

With stories by:
Lee Benoit
Kiernan Kelly
Syd McGinley
J.L. Merrow
G.R. Richards
J. Rocci
P.D. Singer
G.S. Wiley
Eden Winters

I feel honored to have taken part in this project, and my own offering, The Prodigal, is a sequel to The Angel of 13th Street. It picks up the tale of Mark, the hustler Noah puts on a bus for home. It tells his side of the story about his encounter with Noah, and then follows him back home, where he fears acceptance. Can he truly go home again?

Round Four of Rainbow Awards Cover Contest

Round three has ended and round four has begun over at Rainbow Awards Cover Contest. Be sure to keep voting for your favorites and see them through each round. Eleven more to go! There's so many lovely covers that it's hard to vote for just 200, the maximum amount allowed this round.

Here the link: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/11...

I'm very pleased that the covers for Wish and The Angel of 13th Street are still in the running. I think Alessia Brio did such a good job with them. So get on over there and show the cover artists some love!

Interview and Two Reviews at Michele n Jeff Reviews

The folks at Michele n Jeff Reviews were kind enough to conduct an interview with me. It just posted this morning and, low and behold, they also posted reviews of two of my novels, Duet and The Wish, awarding them five kisses each. I cannot tell you how happy I am. Many hugs to Michele and Jeff, and their wonderful reviewer, Lisa. Thanks, ya'll.

Showing the Cover Artists Some Love

Have you ever seen a book cover so incredible that you just had to buy the book? Well, now is the time to show some love the those folks whose names usually don't appear on the book's cover, but who impact your ultimate purchasing decision. Elisa Rolle is hosting the Rainbow Awards Cover contest: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/11...

You'll probably need to open two browser tabs, one for the ballot, one to view the covers.

I'm happy to say that the covers for The Angel of Thirteenth Street and The Wish, both by the amazing Alessia Brio, made it to round two. There's plenty of covers this year, but you're allowed to vote liberally. So vote for your favorites and show your appreciation for these talented artists.

The final drawing (that I know of) of my latest novel, Duet, is currently being held at Reviews By Jessewave, a fabulous site that hosts daily book giveaways, insightful reviews, intriguing posts, and a weekly column featuring some of the biggest names in M/M romance, offering priceless words of wisdom. I recommend it highly.

Anyway, to be in the running for a copy of Duet, all you have to do is leave a comment on the thread. One poster will be selected to win.
