Point of View: Building A New Site

Queeromance Ink

Last month, something extraordinary happened. And I don’t mean in the sense that it was something great. Quite the contrary – All Romance eBooks imploded in a sudden and unexpected four day event that started on December 27th, leaving many readers without access to their purchased books and authors with little to no royalties for three months of holiday sales. I was one of the lucky ones, but only because I have very low sales to begin with as a fairly new author. But some of our author friends got burned for thousands of dollars in the collapse. A few days … Read more

Skythane

Hey all, I’m so excited this week to be able to officially share my cover for my forthcoming first novel “Skythane”. I worked with the amazing Anne Caine on this cover, and am thrilled with the results. We did hit a brief rough patch when the graphics department flagged it for being to similar to an earlier book by another author, but we reworked it, and I think it’s even better than before. It combines a romance look with a great sci fi background. 😛 The book is available for preorder at DSP in eBook and paperback formats. So how has … Read more

Point of View: I Wish I Lived in Stars Hollow

by
chasm

We’re most of the way through our sixth or seventh or maybe eighth viewing of the entire Gilmore Girls series, and I find myself affected by a peculiar kind of nostalgia. It’s a longing for a simpler time, when things were less messy. Less racist. Less Trump. Watching this show, I can envision the perfect place. It’s clean, friendly, an ideal combination of small town charm and big city mores. Okay, so Stars Hollow is a little white. Maybe a lot white. But there’s something about it that calls to me, that imagines America as it could be if we … Read more
