I had a great time yesterday at the Rainbow Book Fair. I spent most of the day at the Dreamspinner Press table with the other Dreamspinner authors (from left to right that’s Clare London, Andrew Grey, Carolyn LeVine Topol, Marguerite Labbe, Felicitas Ivey and me). It was a good learning experience watching the authors work [...]

This coming Saturday I’m attending the Rainbow Book Fair and will spend the majority of the day at the Dreamspinner Press table with fellow Dreamspinner authors Andrew Grey, Felicitas Ivey, Marguerite Labbe, Carolyn Topol, and Clare London (they are currently scheduled to be there, and maybe some others too). There’s a lot going on at [...]

No “Necking” and Other News
The story I did for Necking did not get accepted so the hunt is on for another publisher that is looking for similar stories. I believe the story is solid, so I am going to work to find it a good home. Meanwhile, I’m working on something for Dreamspinner’s Making Contact anthology, which focuses on [...]

“Necking” Submission Completed
With just over 24 hours before the submission deadline, I sent in my story for the “Necking” anthology. This was a challenging story to write. I put a supernatural twist on it and nearly went insane keeping all the characters/pronouns in place since there are three guys together for the entire last half of the [...]
I had a geeky moment this afternoon. While Will and I were out running errands, he took me into our neighborhood Borders (at 100 Broadway) and showed me the six copies of Nerdvana in the LGBT section. It was very exciting to see a book with a story of mine on the shelf and so [...]

New Story & Nerdvana Update
I wrapped up the first draft of the short story that takes place inside of a So You Think You Can Dance-style show. I’m glad it’s finally out of my head as it was making it difficult to do anything else creative. It took longer than I expected, but I had trouble with one of [...]
Since June, once I knew the results of the Delacorte contest, I’ve been working to revise Neutral Zone. Some of this work is pretty straight forward since it’s about restoring scenes I removed to make the competition length requirements. The rest hasn’t been so cut and dried. I’ve been adding in more scenic elements becuase [...]

Delays, Piracy, Editing…and More
A few things to talk about on the writing front today: For some reason, Nerdvana hasn’t come out yet. It was listed on Amazon and other sites as releasing on November 17, but it remains in pre-order state. I don’t know why that is. As soon as it becomes available, I’ll certainly write about it [...]
Over the next two weeks, I’ve got two stories coming out: On November 17, Nerdvana (edited by Fred Towers / StarBooks Press / ISBN: 1934187577) hits book stores with my story “The Adventures of Jake #1.” I’m looking forward getting this book, not only to see my own story in print, but to read what [...]
