Rainbow Book Fair in NYC

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 [...]

Nerdvana In the Store… and other updates

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 [...]

Learning How to Revise… and New Ideas

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 [...]

“Rivals” On Sale Now!

Short story “Rivals” (Dreamspinner Press | eBook ISBN: 978-1-61581-293-6) went on sale this morning. It’s part of Dreamspinner’s “Nap-Size Dream” series. In case you missed it the first time, here’s the blurb for the story: “Hockey player Mitchell Turner’s high-school crush on cross-county adversary Alex Goodman never came to anything… until they meet again four [...]

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 [...]

Two Publishing Events in Next Two Weeks

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 [...]

“Rivals” Gets “Coming this Month” status

A great way to start November: In the November Dreamspinner Press Newsletter, just out this afternoon, “Rivals” is listed as “Coming This Month.” That’s exciting!

“Rivals” Looks to Publish in November

I got my galley proof for the short story “Rivals” this week and did a couple corrections on it. If everything stays on track it’ll  be released the week of Thanksgiving, which is appropriate since the story’s first scene is the day before Thanksgiving.
