More Stops on the Mighty Blog Tour

World of Diversity

OK, today is release day, and I’m popping up all over the place. First off – Garrett Leigh’s great blog: Thanks, Garrett! Then there are the great folks at the Novel Approach: And my guest post at Inked Rainbow Reads, with the first Five Star review of the book: This was short enough I read it in about an hour. It’s a fun read with a bit of humor, a bit of drama, and a bit of magic. I loved the snappy dialog and the smooth writing style. I’ll admit, I didn’t like either Brad or Sam at first. But … Read more

Release Date!

It’s finally here! My very first stand-alone work, Between the Lines, is out. It’s hard to believe – it’s been a long time coming. I wrote my first story in fourth or fifth grade. by high school, I was working on a novel, and was sure that I was gonna be the next big thing in Fantasy and Sci Fi. Then a bunch of rejections, a coming out, and life in general intervened. Years went by. In my twenties, I tried again. And quit. In my thirties I tried yet again. And quit. But some people always believed in me. … Read more

I’m on Goodreads

So I’m now officially a Goodreads.com author – I’ve had my account upgraded to author status, and am busy filling in the details. Being an author is a lot of work!

Plus the copies of the QSF flash fcition book I ordered came in, and Mark helped me practice for my author reading Friday at the con. *getting excited* Can’t wait to see many of you there. 🙂 –Scott

QSF Releases Our First Book

Discovery

Wow – lots of news this week – today is also the launch date for “Discovery: QSF’s Second Annual Flash Fiction Contest”. This is a great little book – and I say little because none of the hundred-plus stories included are more that 300 words long. The five contest winners are included, but there are many other great stories in here, running the gamut from sci fi to fantasy to paranormal to horror. It’s also a fundraiser for QSF… after the great folks at Mischief Corner Books take a small cut to pay expenses, the rest goes to fund the … Read more

Meet Me at RainbowCon!

Scott and Mark

Hey all, My husband Mark and I are heading out to Rainbow Con in Tampa in ten days. We’re excited about the con (despite the fact that it’s in Florida in July) and I’m excited to meet so many of my online friends (and hopefully some new fans). I’ll be at the Queer Sci Fi table on and off, and I’ll be on nine count ’em, nine) panels. 1 PM Thursday: Queering Middle-Earth – Tolkien’s world of Middle-Earth leans heavily toward the male persuasion, and so it doesn’t take much to queer it up with the Elves, Dwarves, Ainur, and … Read more
