New release and New release to come!
Whew. It took me hours to get this far. A techno-genius I am not. But it's a start.
My new short story Burma Girl, from Untreed Reads is now available as an E-book just about everywhere. A full list of places to buy it can be found at the publisher's website:
http://www.untreedreads.com/?page_id=...
"Burma Girl is the story of a man obsessed, and the destruction and havoc it bestows upon his daughters. Told from the point-of-view of the sisters, now elderly, the tale unfolds all of the pain and drama that has happened to the family. Along with the tale of a man completely mad in his pursuits, other family secrets begin to be revealed. In the end, nobody escapes the wrath of the Burma Girl."
NEW AND COMING IN JULY
Counterpoint: Dylan's Story will be published in July by Dreamspinner Press. This is one author who can't sit still for the excitement. Do you have any idea how hard it is to type when you're doing a happy dance? Especially when you're a klutz?
Two other short stories are available from Untreed Reads:
Mr. Newby's Revenge -- if you ever wanted to know how to use colored contact lenses, brown paper towels, and kitty litter to get even with somebody (shades of MacGyver!) this story will tell you how.
The Lawyer, the Ghost, and the Cursed Chair will make you laugh... unless you think a furry gay junk dealer, a 98-pound nun in jail for assault, a gay lawyer, a ghost, and a 100-year-old curse aren't funny.
My novel The Phoenix new edition published 2009 by Lethe Press, is available wherever fine books are sold. Gay Victorian drama beginning in the slums of London and following Kit St. Denys from there to fame in England and America, through stunning trauma, and home again.

Help?
I know that everybody, including my cat, knows more about technical stuff and using Goodreads than I do. However, I want to change something about my listing of The Phoenix and can't figure out how.
There are two versions: one, published in 2004 with a subsidy publisher, is not current.
The second, published in 2009 by Lethe Press in both paperback and ebook, is current. There were changed made in the new version. Both covers are shown on Goodreads. The old one always seems to be the default, though.
How can I un-list the original (2004)version without affecting the listing of the 2009 version? I found a librarian page where I could delete the old cover, and change various information, but I was afraid to tinker with it because I didn't want to lose or mess up the other listing. The old one is down to a few copies in a warehouse and will soon be gone. I hope. Because it hurts sales of the new one, and it's not quite as good.
Oh, confusion, thy name is technology.
Any info will be gratefully accepted.
