Blog Hop Contest!

Down the Rabbit Hole: Avoiding the Slippery Slope
It seems as if, like Alice, we've all slipped down the rabbit hole into a world that is less Wonderland and more WTF-land. In the year 2012, politicians are on TV actually discussing the legalities of birth control, even as banks are telling legal adults what we can and can't sell and buy for our [...]

Newly Rereleased: BENEATH THE SURFACE
A multiauthor anthology I was in recently went out of print so what did I do? I brushed up the story, gave it a shiny new cover and uploaded it to the sites I haven't been shut out of (meaning all sites except Bookstrand). It's my pleasure to reintroduce you to BENEATH THE SURFACE, [...]

Therefore, we are deactivating all titles associated with your [...]

Cowboys take care of their women in every possible way. Wild and wayward women are gentled by the scent [...]

THE BIG REVEAL: BIG CONTRACT NEWS!!
I've been sitting on some news for a while now. Really good news. News that still gives me a thrill when I think about it. It's been very tempting to say something before now. What stopped me initially was disbelief that it would amount to anything. Then my superstition that keeps me from announcing anything [...]
