So, What’s up with The Gaunt?
AND there’s big news on the horizon concerning The Gaunt. You remember that sexy novel about star-crossed lover ghosts, helpful human Trick or Treaters, and the friendly neighborhood witch? That bit of sensual smart Sapphic spice was released two autumns ago – and still has less than 50 reviews. Sigh.
this sweet little book whose launch I botched up so spectacularly? Well, I’ve been working on giving it a second chance and I’ve decided to have it recorded as an audio book. Yes!
And as ...

Advice from an Old-Lady Femme for New Butches, Mascs, and Fems of all Ages
No one asked me, but after twenty-five years of living an out-loud-and-proud butch/femme lesbian relationship, I’d like to share a few things I’ve learned with the new young wave of Sapphics identifying that way.
Femmes: Butch energy is not masculine energy, but people redefining themselves as butches may have trouble separating themselves from it until they know themselves better. If your butch treats you with any shade of toxic masculinity, call her out right then with a sardonic smile an...

Pre-Order The Devil’s Playground
NOW available for Pre-Order for the HALLOWEEN release date!
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets … unless she’s on the devil’s feckless list and her boss wants results, then she better hustle.
Ordered to find her own replacement, Satan sends his irresistible seductress and soulless minion to a BDSM club for magicals called The Devil’s Playground. But who will Lola recommend for the job? Magda, the sex goddess submissive, or her butch Dom Deborah, aka Sigrid the Proud? Maybe Mistress Shade,...

More Twisted Tales from Terceira
Okay, my loyal and lovelies, I’m ready to dish more dirt on the (once idyllic) island of Terceira. We’re still here (Day 99), and now I’m probably in trouble with the authorities. *sigh* Remember when I told you the state of the house we’re renting…
Location, location, location … right? Well, yeah, there’s A LOT to be said for the view, but I’m staring at it through unscreened windows which have allowed a plethora (yes, I know what it means) of bugs to spend most of our vacation with us. Wate...

CALLING BETA READERS
It’s time to gather together an interested group of readers to comb through my latest masterpiece (okay, maybe not a masterpiece, but a damned fine bit of writing) THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND.
What, you ask, does a Beta Reader do? In this case, you’ll receive a free copy of the book, NOT in the same condition it will be when published. This is a rough draft, and as a Beta Reader you’ll read The Devil’s Playground to find any plot weaknesses, grammar and/or spelling errors, discrepancies (you said ...

Update on The Devil’s Playground
I looked around earlier this year and saw a bunch of BDSM stories abounding, and have spent most of this year creating The Devil’s Playground, a story that asks the question: What if Lola (Whatever Lola Wants Lola Gets) were sent by the Devil to a BDSM club for magical beings to find her own replacement?
Being me, I had to add dramatic tension so there’s a rogue witch attacking the club just as Lola arrives to find her former lover, the leader of The Devil’s Playground, leading her magical st...

Words Matter
Every writer knows that. It’s a pity more reviewers don’t.
Today I stumbled upon a negative review for an author’s book in a FB group I know she visits. The OP meant to express her opinion that the story was compelling, but she couched it in “I don’t know why when the editing is so poor” complaints. She was surprised and became defensive when people interpreted her review as a negative one, insisting in response to comments that the book or story isn’t bad, merely the editing. She has every right...

What a long, strange trip it’s been
Vacationing on Terceira – 2024
I’ve vacationed on the island of Terceira a total of eight times, 2005, 2008, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and now in 2024. I’ve seen a LOT of changes over the years, some great, some really downright horrible. These are my thoughts, no one else’s.
My wife, Traf, and I left home for Boston on a late Thursday afternoon in early June after a lengthy delay because (get this) Boston was fogged in and they couldn’t cope with the weather. Whatever, come up with a...

A Troublemaker in Her Eyes
An excerpt from Chapter 6: The Voice of an Angel
Unused to noises in her house, Traf woke when she heard her shower turning on. Jumping out of bed, she threw on a pair of jeans and tossed a shirt over her shoulders, leaving it unbuttoned as she padded to the kitchen to make coffee. She checked the clock hanging over her refrigerator. Six. Early riser.
Flicking on the glaring overhead bulb, she started water boiling on the stove, then set the table with two coffee cups, two bowls, and a...
