I'm at Blak Rayne Books today talking about breaking up, and more specifically, why I find break-ups difficult to write. It's not for the reason you might think, so stop by!

Milestones and Magic Numbers – blogging at Flirty Author Bitches

I blogged yesterday at Flirty Author Bitches about Cop Out, a milestone book for me.  But, I also had a horrific migraine and looking at the computer was making me ill (thankfully, I had the post ready to go).  Anyway, stop by if you get a chance… the day after Thanksgiving was a wee bit lonely!

Chivalry vs Efficiency – blogging at Loose Ends

I'm at Loose Ends today, blogging about chivalry and where it triggers a personal pet peeve. Stop by if you can!

Woot! It's Release Day for Cop Out!

Cop Out is my fifth book and first contemporary.  I hope you like it as much as I do, because I do love this book. It's available from Dreamspinner in print and ebook formats.

Blurb:

Detective Kurt O'Donnell is used to digging up other people's secrets, but when he discovers his slain partner was married to another man, it shakes him. Determined to do the right thing, Kurt offers the mourning Davy his assistance. Helping Davy through his grief helps Kurt deal with the guilt that his partner didn't trust him enough to tell him the truth, and somewhere along the way Davy stops being an obligation and becomes a friend, the closest friend Kurt has ever had.

His growing attraction to Davy complicates matters, leaving Kurt struggling to reevaluate his sexuality. Then a sensual encounter neither man is ready for confuses them further. To be with Davy, Kurt must face the prospect of coming out, but his job and his relationship with his Catholic family are on the line. Can he risk destroying his life for the uncertain possibility of a relationship with a newly widowed man?

 

The Technology Generation Gap – blogging at Contact Infinite Futures

For my mom's birthday today, I'm outlining at Contact Infinite Futures which technology probably still seems like sci-fi to her.  Stop by, you might be amazed.

Steampunk-y Goodness (I hope)

Oh, I have been very remiss in writing this post.  I'm totally excited about the project, but Real Life's been getting in the way of me being online.

Anyway, I've been invited to contribute to a gay, steampunk web serial.  I'll be joining a group of very talented authors: Lex Valentine (the driving force behind the project), Stephani Hecht and Jaime Samms (who I had the pleasure of meeting at GayRomLit this year), Jason Edding and Charlie Cochrane.  It will be called Lords of Aethur and we're expecting to launch sometime in December (fingers crossed).

Lex blogged about it in-depth at Castles and Guns, if you want to find out more about it.  I'll be sure to post updates here.

I hope you'll be gentle with us, because I think this is the first time venturing into Steampunk for all of us.  We've started brainstorming already and I'm can't wait to start posting!

Contest and Terrifying Typos

I'm blogging today at Flirty Author Bitches about scary typos.  Hey, it's almost Halloween, and if you throw "scary" in front of anything, it sort of applies, right?

Also, I'm giving away a copy of Trompe L'oeil at the Coffee & Porn site today.  I don't think the post is up yet for commenting, so check back periodically during the day.  I'm sure it will be no hardship at all to cruise through those lovely naked people in the interim.  If I have a chance at work today to amend the link to point directly to the post, I will, but don't hold your breath

Anyway, please stop by either or both if you're able!
