Cover reveal for The Buy-Out

[image error]
I'm thrilled to finally be able to share the cover for my upcoming book with you! Lou Harper at Dreamspinner Press did an amazing job putting it together--I really couldn't be happier! Release date TBA.

The excerpt:







All Parker Anderson has ever wanted is to take over for his father
as CEO of Anderson Industries when his father retires. But when his
father is ready to leave the company, it isn't Parker he's planning
to pass the reins to. Instead, he plans to sell the company,
jeopardizing not only Parker's job but hundreds of others. Enter
Mason Pike, the company's resident IT guru. He and Parker start a
flirtation that takes them from co-workers to co-conspirators as they
plan to forcibly buy-out Anderson Industries out from under Parker's
father. Their budding romance has to be put on hold while they focus
on the buy-out, but that doesn't stop them from flirting and teasing
each other to distraction during the process. And when their master
buy-out plan ends, no one can keep them apart.

Coming off sabbatical

Hey folks! You may  have noticed my absence from the M/M writing community for the last few months. I took a bit of a sabbatical to work on some non-M/M writing endeavors, but I'm back now. (And best of all, I bring treats! Check out the new offering in the Free Fiction section!)

I'm also working on publishing the last few Free Fiction pieces as free ebooks, so if you didn't grab a copy when they were up on this site, no worries. You'll have another go at them soon!

As always, you can find me on Twitter for regular updates about writing projects, fanfiction and daily life, which can get pretty crazy with a freelance career and two kiddos under 6. I also use the site's email list to keep people in the loop on Free Fiction offerings and other site news, so be sure to sign up for that if you're interested. Have a question or a comment? Shoot me a message on the Feedback page.

Site launch

Today's the day - the site's going live! Thank you to those who helped me get to this point. My husband laughingly called you my "Focus Group", and you really were. I'll still be doing a bit of work on the graphics and layout, but what website isn't a work in progress? That's the beauty of non-static media, isn't it? 
So welcome to those who are coming here from my Live Journal and Twitter, and a big hello to those of you who may stumble across me otherwise. I hope you'll stay awhile and find something you like here!
