Vince’s Blurb

Whenever I finish writing a project, there’s always a moment in time where my brain sort of flips through all the to-be-opened files in my head and brings one to the forefront. I just finished an MMF, and sent it of to be picked apart by a beta and while I wait for it to come back, I’ve been flipping through the virtual files in my head. You know, all those freaking stories and story ideas. The books that should have been written ages ago, but haven’t been. You have no idea how many stories I...

Cop Speaks. Part Dos

Hey Gang, it’s a snowy and cold day here in BK, so I thought I’d do a little some’n to get me, and you, all heated.

The final partofGabe’s interview

****

Av: A little birdie tells me you and Angel have found yourselves afemale to love.

Gabe: Did they?

Av: Are you blushing?

Gabe: ::blushing:: I am not blushing.

Av: So tell me about this female you don’t mind sharing Angel with.

Gabe: Càtia, Syren’s daughter.

Av: What? Are you guys like what, uncles now?

Gabe: Well, we kinda are uncles. Kane has official...

Razzle Dazzle and a #MM #Giveaway w/Morticia Knight

Morticia Knight is in the house, bringing hot men in an amazing era, and an awesome giveaway. Read on!

That ol’ Razzle Dazzle

Yeah, I love the musical Chicago. As it turns out, I also love The Great Gatsby, Art Deco, silent films, jazz, Martinis, and flapper dresses. I collect old postcards, and have many wonderful black and white photos from that era. Once I decided to write about the Golden Age, I went crazy. What was originally supposed to be a three book serialization called Gin & Jazz,...

Awards…and News!

Gang! Thanks to you awesome people, I won something! LOL I won an award in the Evernight Publishing Readers’ Choice Awards. Best in Category: Gay for Make Me Blaze. I’ve been nominated for a few awards with Love the Sinner, but never won. Because I’m usually up against the big boys and lil ole me know better than to even think I could win. I never win.

I did now, and it’s all thanks to you.

Thank you for making me squeal all around my house when I got the email, and thank you for putting a smil...

Cop Speaks

Happy Black Friday, Gang! Who’s out braving the sales out there? Not me. While you come down off thatturkey high, I bring you a conversation with our favorite Cop.

Part One

****

Av: Gabe, thank you for sitting down with me. I have to say you look…good.

Gabe: Thank you, and I had to speak with you, especially after Angel talked about you asking him all kinds of burning questions.

Av: Well, that’s my job. Now it’s my turn to make you squirm.

Gabe: I don’t squirm.

Av: Tell me about your husband. If I w...

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving, Gang!

Make it a good one, yeah? And have fun with the family…well, as much as you can. If you’re anything like me, you’re not too keen at having all those people in your space. Lucky for me, it’s just the man, the kid and me. We do ours nice and small, and just for us. We’ll visit the in-laws, but later on in the evening for a quick howdy, and only because I’m trolling for any kind of pork. Mr. A doesn’t eat pork so we don’t cook it, but I can get it from the in-laws. So I’...

Still Here

Hey Gang. I’ve been MIA for a minute, yeah? I bet you’ve been checking in and rubbing your hands together in glee, salivating ’cause you’re thinking Av is hard at work with the boys.

Welp…

I gots good news and bad news.

The bad news is, the boys have forsaken me. I have not been writing them. The good news is, I have been writing. Now, I know you’re all about your boys, but right now those sumbitches are dead to me. Levi isn’t hearing a thing Van is saying, and Van is all fucked and shit. So I t...

Just Talking..and Teasing

Hey Gang, it’s snowing here in BK! First snow of the season. I like snow. I don’t like the cold. I’ve been on my computer for about an hour staring at the manuscript in front of me. It’s been like pulling teeth, getting the words to come. And it’s not really a surprise. The beginnings of my stories are always the slowest. Those damn things crawl like you wouldn’t believe, and it’s because I don’t have a feel of the characters, I’m still unsure of the story and how it should unfold, so my begi...

You Wanna Talk to Me?

Gang, how goes it? Yes, I should be writing. Yes, I’m procrastinating. I see you judging. I’m working out a knot in the mess that is Van and Levi by not writing. I am editing though, and working on another short for an anthology I’ve got my eye on. So even though I’ve stepped back from the boys, it doesn’t mean I’m not writing.

Thought I’d ask how you guys been. I’ve been begging for favors lately, asking you to nominate me here and there. But how are you? How’s life? The fam? You good? I’m he...

Part Deux: Interview with an Angel

Gang, here’s your Angel. Last time. Next is Gabe.

—-

Av: Let’s take it back. Way back. Like an interrogation room in a Brooklyn precinct back.

Rafe: Okay

Av: Did you want him the second you set eyes on him?

Rafe: I wanted to put him off balance. He was a new face, I thought I could rattle him.

Av: Well. Job well done, ain’t it?

Rafe: I was the one rattled. I took off my sunglasses, and our gazes met. And I was fucked.

Av: In a good way.

Rafe: I didn’t think of that. I felt it, that thing, that pull, a...
