Compound a Felony: Cover Reveal

I am SO EXCITED to finally get to share the Compound a Felonycover with you. I was extremely fortunate to have Basil akaghostbees at the helm of the cover design and execution; their work is always stunning and to have it as the first impression for Felonyis such a treat and an honour. I’m so happy.

New Christmas Release – coming soon!

I’m a little embarrassed by how long it has been, but let’s ignore that from now on.

Instead, let’s talk about cool stuff like new releases! It’s officially autumn, which means of course that it’s time to zoom ahead mentally to Christmas, and all the good things that happen at Christmas like vacations and snow and unexpected romances. I’m thrilled to announce that my Christmas romance, with the working title ofThe Scottish Holiday, has undergone some edits and had a facelift, and will be comin...

“My Writing Process” blog tour

This blog tour is like a chain letter of writerly navel-gazing: the lovely Katie Young pinged me to participate, and I’m going to pass you on another writer at the end!

1)What am I working on?

I’m in Sherlock Holmes mode right now, so I haven’t actually worked on anything ~original~ since this summer. But that’s okay! Sherlock Holmes is my happy place, and queer pastiche is a legitimate writing genre.

I just finished posting my latest shnovel-length piece,Feel the Tide Turning, as a charity fi...

Back to School Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop! Thanks for stopping by.

I love this time of year. It’s so full of potential. In Baltimore, where I live now, the weather is still hot and muggy, holding onto summer, but the evenings are cool as if the promise of the relief of autumn is right around the corner.

I write a lot of college romance, and there’s a very good reason for that. My college experience is still very fresh and present in my mind, so I can tap into them at any time: the thrill of going...

Monday Music: Hopeless Wanderer

A little late on the music this week, but my sister has been after me to watch this video for a while. Worth it. I love Mumford & Sons and I listen to it at work if I can wrest control of the pandora station from my boss, but this music video just makes me adore them even more. Silliness. Enjoy.

Can I just– wow. I didn’t even know what I was listening to at first, but hot damn. This is some cool string quartet action. Enjoy.

Photo Friday: Boy in Sweater

I like trolling men’s fashion boards on Pinterest, because they provide a nice crop of good-looking men an author can draw from to inspire characters. This one caught my eye this week:

Ooh, god, he’s just my type. He looks like an Ivy League douche bag. Yum, I love it. Artfully tousled curls, hint of a smirk, shawl collar sweater, standing on the beach; who is this guy? What’s he doing there? Who is he with? Who took the photo?

I love college boys. I think it might give me away a little bit, ho...
