Coming Releases and blogging thoughts
I'm looking forward to the release of the unexpected seventh story in Hidden Wolves -
Unplanned Coda
, releasing on the 23rd, and in preorder on AZ now. (Will be released wide, but the timing was too tight for preorders.)I'm also delighted that JF Harding is now busy recording the audio for Life Lessons - I love his work.

How do you define Happy Ever After?
I'm blogging today on Love Bytes Reviews about expanding the definition of a romance HEA - because [ Happy is what you say it is ] - check my post out on the link.

Kaje,GR just notified me this morning about your post, so I naturally clicked the link and read the blog.
I think you are absolutely right about the fact that one person's/pair's/groups' definition of HEA is someone else's "you can't be serious!"
And that what is important is the former, not the latter. Whether in real life or in fiction.
May I also say I admire your ability to write (move?) beyond the traditional "HEA = MM (possibly MMM) monogamy." And to write about an asexual character. (Or perhaps others in the LGBTQ spectrum)
As I finished the above thought(s), it occurred to me that the words almost cry out for a "Gee, I wish I could do that" follow-up. Yet I don't. I have no connection with what I still call the "gay" world (non-pc though that may be) beyond the very few gay men I currently know, and thus have no emotional affinity with characters who aren't gay men enjoying sex (along the way and
after) with other gay men.
And if I can't "connect" with a character, I can't write about him.
But still, I admire and applaud those whose range is broader than mine.
BRAVA! Madame Kaje.

<3 Thanks. Folks have to write what they feel a connection to, if the story's going to resonate. And life's too short to worry about writing the part that you don't. There are things I'll never write (Humiliation kink, for instance) because I can't get into a mindset where that's appealing, but I'm glad there are other folk who do.
(And what is with Goodreads notifications - they are soooo kludgey!)
Peoples! If you missed the release date like I did, you should know...Life Lessons is out on audio!
