you wonderful goobs
You guys. Honestly. You guys. You wonderful goobs who ran out and read The Firebird and Other Stories right away, and then asked me all the nerdy awesome questions about it! :):):) <3 I hope the love outweighs any trauma. And as always, if you really want to know something, or just want to ALL CAPS TALK ABOUT SIMON'S FASHION CHOICES OR RENNET MY DARLING OR YELL AT ME FOR DESTROYING SOULS, or whatever, feel free to message me. I'm available basically everywhere but Twitter.
In other news, The Winter Prince was accepted. Yaaaay! This is basically a fairy tale, about a prince who gave away his heart to a magical creature, and now has to get it back, or he will freeze to death without its warmth. (It helps that he has the court wizard along, who might be, you know, the kind of person who would make him feel things if he still had a heart.) So that should be out next year. I don't have specific dates yet, but Dancing Lessons should come out in January (ish) and then The Winter Prince in February or March.
No, neither of those stories involve beings. But in a way, they both involve fairy tales, so there is that. (Dancing Lessons is contemporary. About emotionally fragile Chico (Sheeco) with his big brown eyes, and clever, shameless Rafael, the dance teacher who would really, really like to love him.)
I, um, also wrote a short thing to release on Amazon for autumn/Halloween. It's pretty simple. I wanted a fluffy story about pumpkins and crunchy leaves, but what I got is a powerful, lonely witch and this dork who may or may not love him. There might also be a ghost and a talking raven.
There is definitely a ghost and a talking raven.
Yeah. So that will be around in the beginning of October. Probably just on Amazon at first, because they make covers for you, and I can't afford to pay an artist what they are worth.
Anyway. This is mostly for the seven of you who like me. (I feel like Sally Field right now, if that's not too old of a reference to make.) Thank you! You guys are awesome! Your reactions to the Firebird are truly fantastic. <3

A ghost and a talking raven for Halloween this year?! I like that, like that a lot ... but before I'm looking forward to next year: didn't you forget someone planned for this year? Please don't tell me we have to wait for Tulip longer than some short month.

Um... well.... how do I say this? I finished Tulip, and I could have submitted it on its own. ...But I felt it needed something more, so I held on to it. Now, all this means is that you will get more later. That's good, right?

If you feel that it needs something more then I completely trust your feeling and keep my needy attitude at bay :) In the meantime I could after all visit Charlie again or make a trip to Wolf's Paw (somehow reading about Diego I had the impression that you mentioned him already in another story, so that would be the opportunity to find that out).
I don't think I've ever mentioned Diego. But that would be a good place for him to go when he needs to get out of the city. And he'd get to show off Miki in a whole new town!
R. wrote: "I don't think I've ever mentioned Diego. But that would be a good place for him to go when he needs to get out of the city. And he'd get to show off Miki in a whole new town!"Diego is such a nice guy and perfect for Miki. Guess then it was wishful thinking and I have to read Wooing anyway just to check where that idea came from.

Now you are making me wish I'd written Diego in other things... he is pretty awesome though. All hot and gentle. mmm
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS OUT OMG OMG I have to go read it immediately *loud screeching noises*
Yeah... that reminds me how terrible at promotion I am. heh
I've kept Firebird for this month's scavenger hunt run, so I'll make sure to harass you later on :D
R. wrote: "Oooh what is a scavenger hunt run?"If you're a member of the M/M Romance group here on GR, you can join the Scavenger Hunt, join a team, then every month for half a year you have to read books that fit new announced categories, find items or themes pre-appointed by the mods that give you points, post the score sheets, and in the end the team with most points wins and gets major bragging rights :)

Oh my god! Fun! I hope you are winning!
Third place, but we're only halfway through :)
Heh, thank you :) It's definitely made me read some stuff that was outside my comfort zone and/or usual choices, so I'm happy anyway :)
