I sold another book to Samhain. Regularly Scheduled Life (as it's called right now) will be an August 2008 release. This was a hard one to write since it was different from what I'm used to writing. There's still lots of hot sex and a happy ending but it was hard work to get there. I almost gave up on it a couple of times, but now I'm so glad I didn't because when I finally finished it, I decided I liked the thing. Depending on what day you ask me, it's either my best or worst book so far. I hope the best part is what shines when my editor is through with it!
I've started Joey (from Diving In Deep)'s story and it's been fun. He's so noisy I have trouble getting him to relinquish point of view. I've got a good hero for him. There's going to be a lot of hot sex before they get to the end, I'm sure.
I'm really excited as the date of my first print release approaches. I'm going to hold my words, in a book. It blows my mind. I get a little giddy everytime I think about it. For anyone in the Albany, NY area, my first signing will be at the Desmond Hotel on June 14 at 5:00. If I'm not enough of a draw ;) Sherrilyn Kenyon will also be there. Admission to the signing is free to the public; we just want you to buy our books!!
Hi!
I haven't been abducted or buried under the avalanche of papers on my desk. I finished RSL and am doing an edit and that is sucking up my brains (no it's not zombie fic) focus, and spare time. I haven't checked my other lj in almost a week. :(
Joey (from Diving In Deep) gets a story next. He hasn't shut up in my head for awhile.
In a fit of insanity, I joined some fellow m/m writers in a round robin of original fic. My segment was nine.
The story starts here
But that's all boring author stuff. Let me tell you why you should go check them out. LIFEGUARDS, okay. They're both lifeguards. And the get tan and wet, and spend most of their lives shirtless. If that's not bait enough, how about this: you know the one that got away? The one you always wanted a do-over with? Here's that story for you. Oh, and one more boring author thing (or not so boring dependent on your pov) the boys just were impossible to drag out of bed. Anytime I tried to get them to work on their issues, they'd drag each other back to bed. I wonder exactly what percentage of this story involves them in some kind of sexual contact, eighty? Ninety? Anyone better at math want to try it?
You can find an excerpt at my website. The book is available at Samhain. I hope you guys will let me know what you think.
The excerpt on the Samhain website has to be PG-13 so if you want something with a little more kick, you can read the one at my website.
This is Cam and Noah's story (which is how I always think of it) and just thinking about the story makes me blush a little--okay a lot. So explain to me how I'm going to manage to promote it on a chat where it's supposed to be PG-13? The boys would not get out of bed. I had to drag them out of bed to make them work on some issues that didn't have to do with the explosion of chemistry between them.
So if you want to be amused by me tapdancing my way around so they fight and then they fuck and then they avoid talking and then they fuck and then they avoid issues and fuck ... stop by on Monday night (please, please, please!!) Romance Junkies Chat I'm giving away a prize and everything. It'll be all formal with a moderator and I'll be blushing and nervous and would love some friendly names in the chat room!!!
My current entry is on whether or not I need an intervention to help me stop writing sex scenes.
My other entries are on My Golden Ho(e)on February 6 and Calling Kink on January 27.
You can also find some non me m/m goodness over there. Come on over and check it out.

Well, if you want to come see me make an idiot of myself, the chat is scheduled for Wednesday, December 19 at 8 P.M. EST here.

You can also read another excerpt (rated PG-13) on the publisher's site, and even that's edited from what actually appears in the book. This story did not lend itself to more than a PG-13 paragraph at a time.

I really loved these characters. I can't wait until I get to introduce them to more people!
