Point of View: When it All Comes Together

Today’s a momentous day for me. This morning, the Campfire Podcast launched the first chapter of my story “The Autumn Lands” – for the next two weeks, the story will unfold, day by day, on Vance’s fantastic chapter-a-day podcast: campfirepodcast.com It almost didn’t happen. Back in the late summer, my friends at Mischief Corner Books asked if I’d like to submit a story for their planned Fall-themed anthology. I was in the middle of a couple other projects at the time, and wasn’t sure I would have time to do it. But I looked through my stable of old stories … Read more

Hey all, I’m going to be a part of a second free serial tale starting March 3rd – Marionettes in the Mist – from Mischief Corner Books: Where deals are made or broken.

Spaces where people do not tread lightly for they do know what lurks in the dark. In these spaces magic can happen, for good or for ill. Happiness. Pain. Love and loss. A life can change forever with a single step. … Read more

Campfire!!!!!

I just got some great news! My story The Autumn Lands was chosen by Vance Bastian to be his second book read for his daily Campfire Podcast: The Campfire Podcast features stories in a chapter-a-day format. Monday through Friday you’ll hear stories that delight, and tease, and thrill, and maybe even frighten you just a little. Because even adults need storytime, right? The show starts on March 14th – don’t worry, I’ll remind you then. And once it’s done, the story will be released in full in audio format. I am sooooo excited. 🙂

“The Autumn Lands” – Blog Tour Redux

GGR review

Hey all… I recently saw that the GGR Review had a free spot coming up, and jumped at the chance: What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time? LOL… I wish I had some. My husband and I run several directories for the LGBTIQ community, and I literally work from 5:30 in the morning to 9 PM at night, 6 days a week on that. So I had to carve out my writing time from that. But I do like to read, of course, when I can squeeze it in. And I also love … Read more

Point of View: The Cover Design Process

I am stealing this column from my blog tour stop at Elizabeth Noble’s Emotion in Motion blog. It was one of my favorites on the tour, and so I wanted to share it directly with y’all as well: ​I LOVE working with an artist on the cover for a new book. It’s your chance as an author to see your work through someone else’s eyes, made real. I’ve been through the process three times now, and it’s been fun every time (at least for me; I’ve probably sent at least one cover designer away screaming). This time around, I was … Read more

“The Autumn Lands” Blog Tour Stops at Jessie G’s Blog

Jessie G.

One of my last blog tour stops is with the fabulous Jessie G: Thanks, Jessie, for having me on your blog. I’ve only been writing this time around for about two years now. I say this time around because I made a go of being an author some twenty five years ago. I wrote a novel in my early twenties, and sent it out to ten publishers. I was sure it would be snapped up and my career as a writer would be assured. A month went by, then two, and then the rejections began trickling in. One, then two … Read more

Andrew Q. Gordon Invites me to Stop By His Blog

Andrew Q. Gordon's Blog

One of my LGBT sci fi idols, Andrew Q Gordon, has me up at his blog today as part of my blog tour for “The Autumn Lands”. I am thrilled to be there. 🙂 WHAT IS “THE AUTUMN LANDS” ABOUT? Hmmm… that’s a tough one. It’s about a place where it’s always fall. And it’s about a young man coming to terms with his sexuality. And it’s about an elf with a past that he can’t remember. And there’s a twist. In my stories, there’s almost always a twist. See the full post here
