Steamcon
This weekend I'm at Steamcon II in Seattle. I've posted on Fiction with Friction and Loose Ends about it.

New Cover – Reverb
I just got the ok to show off my new cover from MLR Press. I haven't finished the story yet, but here's what my new rocker (non-HS) story looks like.
Purty, isn't it?
Free Fiction – Man of My Dreams
A bit of fluff for Fiction with Friction's "While You Were Sleeping" week. Relates to no existing story and I have no idea where it came from.
NOT WORKSAFE

Questions about Indigo Knights
Since I seem to be getting a lot of random questions in a lot of different places, let me see if I can't answer some of the most asked questions in one easier to find place.
Question: When is book 2 coming out?
Answer: Don't know. Really. Haven't started writing it and I've got at least 2, possibly 3 projects to finish before I can get to it. I hope for 2011 but I'm not sure.
Question: When is Squire coming out in print?
Answer: Looks like books 1 and 2 will be packaged together like books 1 and 2 of Heaven Sent. So the answer to the print question depends on the answer to when book 2 is coming out. See above.
Question: Is book 2 Danny's story?
Answer: Don't think so. I'm pretty sure book 2 is Lance's story. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead to include more than a mention of him in book 1. Sorry.
Question: Will you write short interludes for the Indigo Knights like you did for Heaven Sent?
Answer: Don't know. The shorts were each written for a holiday call that Loose Id put out that year — 2007, I believe — and the timing just happened to be right to provide one for each of the couples. I'm not against writing the shorts and I know they're neat but the timing is off this time. How about "maybe"? I'll add an "I'll try".
Question: Will you put out a T-shirt for Indigo Knights like you did for Heaven Sent?
Answer: I'd like to. If so, it probably won't happen until all four main books are done, at least.
Question: Will you release any more artwork for Indigo Knights/Heaven Sent?
Answer: Again it has to be "don't know". Remember, I'm not the artist for HS/IK. If I want artwork, I have to pay for it. PL Nunn is a wonderful and generous artist who has yet to provide me with anything less than stunning, but I have to wait until it's the right time. I can't afford all the lovely artwork I'd love to commission and I can't monopolize her time.
OK, that's all the questions I can think of at the moment. Any more?

Temporary WIP Change
First, I have NOT abandoned Reverb. I'm just taking a brief break to write a Valentine's Day story for Loose Id. It's called A Simple Rose (at least for the moment). More on that later.

Contrary to popular belief…
I don't think the next Indigo Knights story is Danny's.
"But Jet, he has to be!" I hear you say. "If you follow the pattern from Heaven Sent, then the guy who gets the next book is the secondary character that was prominently featured in the previous book."
"Yes," I say, "this is true."
But, to be honest, I screwed up. I really should have brought Lance and Noble into the mix sooner. That's what I get for being a pantser with a loose idea of what my stories actually are as I'm writing them.
BTW, Gordon and Danny aren't a couple. That one I'm sure of. Because I do know who Gordon's man is [image error]

EXCERPT: Pulling the Dragon's Tail from Shifting Sands anthology
[image error]Available this week from MLR Press
Pairing: m/m
ANTHOLOGY BLURB
The wrath of a woman scorned is bad, but a witch's wrath is hell on earth. No one knows this better than the six men of Shifting Sands Ranch. When the owner's witch of a wife flees the ranch, she takes with her one of the cowboys and leaves behind a curse that dooms the remaining inhabitants to a life that is anything but normal. Now, every month when the moon comes full, each man takes on the form of an animal.
