I’m over at Joyfully Jay!
Today, I’m over at Joyfully Jay’s as part of the Joyful Approach countdown to GayRomLit. I’m talking about tropes and how I like to use and twiiiist them all up.
If you comment (over there), there’s a chance to win a $15 gift card to Amazon or All Romance Ebooks, too!
Whew. I have been very busy in real life, which is why I’ve been so absent on my blog. Short form, the small company I work for was acquired by a huge huge company (I went from having 70 co-workers to more than 50,000), so things...

WIP Wednesday: Need to Think
*taps mic* This thing still on? *cough*
A glance at the alarm clock told Michael they still had a while before they needed to be up, even if they were to go fetch good coffee. He pulled back the covers a bit. “Come back to bed.”
Sam’s expression was akin to the rest of him, relaxed and sleepy, but he shook his head. “Need to think.”

WIP Wednesday: Vanish
Been a while since I did one of these….from a WIP tentatively titled Acquisition and Merger:
Breathless, his cheeks red from more than the hot water, Sam gripped Michael’s arms before he could pull away any farther. “I know what you’re thinking. Boss. Employee. Everything we said we wouldn’t do. But I can’t think right now, and I need to focus. Please make the world vanish for a while. I need—” He sucked in a breath. “I need you.”
