The Boys of Summer: Available again Monday Dec 21!

I’m very pleased to announce that the award-winning M/M romance, The Boys of Summer, will be re-released on Monday, December 21st, 2015!

This story, without a doubt a personal favorite of mine, also has the deepest emotional meaning for me. It’s the best story I’ve ever written, and yet it is also the one that probably the fewest people have heard of because it was my very first self-publishing effort, and I made a lot of mistakes along the way. Therefore it is with great pleasure that I can...

Walk a Mile is a finalist in the Rainbow Awards–and on sale!

Great Scott! You could have knocked me over with a feather this morning when I received the email that Walk a Mile (Sixth Sense series Book 2) was a finalist in the 2015 Rainbow Awards! Believe me, I was tickled when it received an Honorable Mention, but I didn’t think it would progress any further in the awards than that. I almost didn’t even enter the awards this year because I wasn’t certain I had a worthy contender that qualified. I decided to enter in the end because all the proceeds go...

Today only: Unspeakable Words is free!

What a whirlwind the last few weeks it has been! It seems like only a few days ago, I was saying, “Halloween already?” and now Thanksgiving has come and gone.

I have more to say on gratitude later, but I had to take a moment to get the word out: for today only, Unspeakable Words (Sixth Sense series Book 1) is FREE. That’s right, free! Snag a copy from Dreamspinner Press until midnight tonight, EST. Even better, you can get the entire Sixth Sense series on sale until 11/30! Wait, not only the...

NaNo Snippet Sharing! Play along if you like…

I don’t do this sort of thing often, but Chuck Wendig (Aftermath:The Force Awakens) is inviting authors to share 1000 words or less of their current NaNoWriMo story (or WIP, if you’re not participating in NaNo this year). He wrote an outstanding blog post on why you should or should not consider NaNo, by the way. I am one of those people for whom NaNo doesn’t work, but I’m excited about the camaraderie and support that comes with the month of November. So it pleases me to play along. If you l...

Feed the Right Wolf…

I’m sure many of you are familiar with the proverb ascribed to the Cherokee Indians about how each of us has two wolves inside battling for control.

A few months ago, inspired by others on Facebook who were making a determined effort to post something upbeat and positive every day, I gave myself a challenge to find three things I was grateful for or made me happy each day. Although I haven’t managed to do this consistently every day (sometimes you just run out of time and you know you should...

Have the Guts to Gut Your Story

Well, it’s November, which means almost everyone I know is doing NaNoWrMo–the challenge to write a 50 K novel in 30 days. At least, it seems that everyone I know is doing it, based on the way my social media is exploding with word counts and updates, as well as posts on NaNo. Not me. I applaud anyone who does NaNo, I love the idea of having that network of support pushing you to write some every day. It *is* the best way to complete a story. But it doesn’t work for me. I don’t mean the part a...
