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!!

 

Not abducted by aliens

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

Diving In Deep

Cam and Noah's story comes out today. It's my first single-title release and I'm excited about that, but I'm also excited because of how much fun I had with these characters. I can still remember the moment when I fell in love with Cam, that sudden charge of electricity. Noah was easier to identify with but Cam was a slippery bastard. But after he became his own person in my head--independent of the way Noah saw him.

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.

Diving In Deep comes out in two weeks. Of course, we can all just keep calling it Cam and Noah, because that's the way I'll always think of it. I like the expressions that the cover artist got. Noah's pouting and Cam has that you-know-you-want-me smirk. (I tried to make the cover pop up here, but I am seriously lacking in tech skills.

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.

Chatting Again

I'm going to be promoting my March release Diving In Deep by chat on Romance Junkies on March 3 at 9 PM EST.

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!!!

Slashing and Burning

The writers over at the slash and burn m/m romance blog invited me to come play, so every two weeks I'm trying to be somewhat entertaining while talking about slashy writing things.

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.

Hot Ticket releases Tuesday, January 15, and I’m really excited. I loved writing these characters so much, I just want to carry them around in my pocket. They were funny and hot and perfect for each other. I have excerpts posted on the Samhain site and at my website, but I thought it would be fun to write a short little prequel that people could have for free. This happens six months before Hot Ticket starts.

Samhain is having an author chat over at The Romance Studio, an online romance book site. I signed up to participate, but I have no clue about what to expect. What if no one wants to talk to me? What if someone does?

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.

New Cover!

I just got my cover for Hot Ticket which comes out January 15. The boys are very pretty! Please come on over to my website to check it out (and to read the unrated excerpt).


The Latest News

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.

PG-13 excerpt

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